Edain Mod has many places where community interacts, looking for games, discussing the mod, watching pro players or simply having fun. I will try to keep this page updated and representative of the various youtube channels, discord servers, and other interesting places for any player. If you find I missed something, please contact me in Discord to solve it :D
Edain Community Links
Official Edain channels
Edain has some official places to announce news, provide download links and recieve feedback, namely:

suggestions of all kind, proposals, etc. It is also the place to showcase new features and publish news about the mod.

also contains fan material such as custom maps, submod announcements, etc.

Discord Servers
Although unofficial, Edain has 3 main servers where players and fans talk, find games, and know each other.
Edain Fight Club: Edain's pvp focused server. Most, if not all of the competitive players
inhabit this server. There are memes, replays, and endless balance talks, maybe memes themselves. Managed by the
legendary player Spartacus, also my master and mentor.
Edain Community (EN): Edain's english-speaking server, where all kind of players and fans find their place.
Participate in debates about concepts, learn more about the game, or chat with fellow fans.
Edain Group (DE): Edain's german-speaking server, for all fans of the game. More memes,
their own ranking system, and a big community ready to welcome you. Non-german speakers are welcome, although
most discussions are in german.
Wiki
Edain's Wiki is the best place to learn about the game's units, buildings, and also has guides (map creation, strategies, fighting AI...) and other resources for fans. It is specially useful to consult the stats of the units, such as price, health, armorset, etc. The wiki team works hard to keep everything updated, well organized and well written.
