Middle Earth 3 (requires hafling, and necro DLC)

Description
REQUIRES NECRO AND HALFLING DLC OR IT WON'T WORK.

Old middle earth map, except with dlc content from necro Expansion. I did not think it would be fair for people who are suscribed to Middle Earth 2 to be forced to migrate maps, although support for middle earth 2 is going to be ending.

I am considering taking up this map and making a middle earth 4 map, along with a mod to add brand new units.
The changes I would probably be introducing to it would be as follows:
Nazghul rider (orc horse + wraith model) and putting the dark riders in the south so they have to ride around the bottom peninsula to get to hobbiton.
Minor heal: 2 turn cd, puts a buff that heals 3 per turn for 3 turns.
Human Priests: +minor heal +shortbow -spirit ray +turn undead
Dwarf Priests: -firebolt, -fire buff +minor heal +firebomb
Elf stormsisters: -shock bolts +minor heal +turn undead
Golin doctors: -poison bolts +mosquito darts +minor heal
Orc Priest: -blackbolts +minor heal +blood sacrifice
Horse archers: get a new free short range ranged attack on 1 turn cd. (harrass shot)
Human light cavalry no longer evolve, get free melee attack on 1 turn cd. +sprint -charge
Human swordsmen get shields.
Humans get a -40% spirit weakness.
Ironheart gets a 3 turn cooldown. (it can be used to give strong will to negate -40% weakness)
Halfling support +minor healing
Nourishing meal gets 3 turn cd

Map changes: Saruman and Isengard would go under the same team, with Saruman as the leader.

Are Beorn, Radaghast and Gandalf in this mod? Or only in Middle Earth 4?

Thanks for making these mods. Does this version remove the halfling druid leader faction? Just asking, because I really like the mod in general, but can't see why there's a halfling faction in it at all, so if there's a version without the halfling faction, that's the one I want to play.

Oh p.s one other (very minor) complaint - shouldn't the Mordor faction leader by Sauron rather than the Witch King? (Debatable I know since Sauron didn't actually fight in any of the battles in the War Of The Ring, though he did in earlier wars)

Are there any plans to continue and update this map !? Otherwise, I'm very interested in doing that.

Should I play this map or the Middle Earth 2 rebalanced? You say this one is newer Shaithias, are there any differences between them besides th use of the necro DLC?

I have played both ORC and DWARF warlords and each time I attempt to research Manticore rider it disappears from research. Why is this?

@Lancelot :
He referred to the "Golden Realms"- (which includes halflings) and "Eternal Lords" (which includes necromancers) -expansions for this game... look at the game's main steam page, please. :)

The map is great , but having only one hero for some of the factions is a bit rubbish. E.g Denethor is in as a hero for Gondor, but no Boromir or Faramir.

This map is brilliant, but not being able to get additional heroes is a major bummer. How is it going with the middle earth 4 idea, any hope?
