( Size of standard BfME2 is around 5.7 GB, but BfME2 Special Editon is only 3.0 GB. The game loads amazingly faster and runs smoother (because fewer files, but with no mismatching if played vs/with Standart Edition.) Also the game starts up faster than the standard version.Uber fast installation (install The Battle for Middle Earth II in 25 seconds).Autodefeated (3:30) problem solved (experimental).I use this version to play on T3A:o and suggest everyone do the same thing. Next download T 3A:o and play with your friends online. All you need to download and install is the Special Edition. You dont need to crack or patch the game to play online with other players. If you ask me what the special edition is, I would say it's the best version of BfME2! With new game musics "The Lord of The Rings Soundtracks", better graphics, images and much more features (read all features below). If you play with this edition vs someone who doesnt have, you don't have mismatch problems. You can also checkout Val's youtube channel for many preview videos of patch content.This is The Battle for Middle Earth 2 Special Edition with patch 1.06. We have a good map pool of quality over quantity which was not the case in 1.08. We also refined maps a lot and deleted the Tower Wars ones as they are mostly balanced for 1.06. I have included some preview content below, the best way to preview though of course is to play the patch! There are hundreds of new Special FX, hundreds of new sounds, and new models.

Also a big thanks to Paramatha for coding the switcher for us. Thanks to all in the beta team for their input and fine tuning of balance, notable mentions are included in the patch credits. I would like to extend thanks to Echelon for being my right hand man, and Rider of Rohan for helping a lot with art, and work on the switcher. Almost 3 years of work, thousands of hours of work on both balance, cosmetics, and sounds, this is truly the biggest ever patch published in the BFME Franchise. It's been a long, long road, and I would first like to thank everyone who invested time into this monster sized patch. Hi All, Patch 1.09 is finally here for download. PATCH 1.09 VERSION 1.0 HAS BEEN REPLACED BY VERSION 2.0 - DOWNLOAD LINKS IN THIS THREAD REMOVED
