Is this forum still alive?
Having a good run with the Beornings at the moment. Took my starting units west of Greenwood south to take Langwyke and Feorfeld. Later when I had enough troops...
Little update on my current run...
I wonder how long was Glorfindel supposed to stay again? I'm in year 380, so about 50 turns in and he is still around. Could it be that with a quick and...
Bit of a late reply, but I was on a longer break and just restarted playing recently. Good to see that there are some new units in game! Those Elvellyn Kinsmen were not available last time I played....
Hi! Does anyone still have those maps that were posted in the respective threads here and at the org ages ago? I'm in particular interested in the nomadism map. Would be interesting for my current...
Wambat, I'm engaged with your campaign for one reason. I can learn something there. I'm an overspecialized nerd. I play exactly 3 games, counting mods as games. FATW, EB1, and Diablo 2. Those 3 games...
That stuff with the passive factions in the end is amazing :D. Didn't know this much money was possible to extract from them. Those nearly 200k you stacked up there in 20 turns are impressive!
...
Placing adoption candidates where you want them, very handy for Dwarves and Elves with their split empires: Suitable candidate pops up, you move the benefactor out of his province, set capital where...
Likely the mannish faction I played the most. It's lots of fun and well equipped for empire building. A few slight changes could improve the game experience a bit I think.
What I'd like to add...
Adding some feedback here. Already posted some remarks about cultic recruitment in a different thread, but after reading all this my feedback needs to be slightly adjusted and be put at the right...
Taking on Rhovanion makes sense. You'll be able to get all your elite troops there. You could also consider the Beornings, since their starting provinces count as homelands for Dale. As you left them...
Definitely good choices you're making there. Arnor is an economic powerhouse, but you won't get too many great units there. Standard mustering options are Eriador Scouts and Spearmen on tier 1 and...
Nice move there with Adunabar :)
That would indeed be great. I don't know about the mechanics, but I'm willing to give it a shot if I reach Bucklebury before he dies. Unfortunately my bribed Stoor is an unmarried fellow and there is...

Had a diplomat close to this guy when the shire got destroyed and he turned independent. Couldn't resist to try out how much it would cost to bribe him. 1.3 million it was. With the money he...
There is some TW center group on facebook so that's an option. But I haven't digged into it deeply enough to tell how much traffic is going on there.
Funny that people are more into battles. For...
Not the most relevant question, but the other day when I killed some Easterling Bodyguards I noticed that the banner carrier of these guys would have a sword with a curve at the top, like the Uruk...
Yeah I used force diplomacy some years ago in EB I remember. Very handy tool. Might have it still somewhere on my computer. I didn't jump from 200000 to a million for my protectorate. I added some...
Thanks! Much appreciated!
Confirmed. Really annoying how some multicultural faction puts so much effort into being independent when life under the rule of the Elves is guaranteed to be better (Elves have more life...
The money is surely an argument for taking Hornburg, just figured that if I wouldn't push towards Edoras aggressively afterwards, it would be under siege most of the time. Mostly I just waited until...
You're welcome! In that campaign my next feedback will be about making Tharbad a protectorate. Still lacking the funds to do so though. This time I played with my internal rule to only fight against...
Really helpful! I tried to be more diplomatic in my last Elven campaign. Instead of steamrolling Middle Earth with Glorfindel as usual, the fact that every single attack would be financed by all...
Yeah, I remember about the reasoning. I'll try some counter arguments then :D. Dunlendish people are great hunters, as reflected in units such as Wolfhunters or character traits of generals. This...
Alright thanks! Always wanted to build an evil faction up there. Just too many orc-recruitment centers around. In that campaign my grand strategy somewhat failed though and I restarted at an...
Hi. I'm back after my annual half-year summer break. Played a bit of Dunland lately. Wanted to play Ways of Darkness first and switch to the cult later. Kinda started to panik a bit when the...
My guess is Dale. Dorwinion is already gone, Adunabar holds Mid-Deeping. Don't see them start a war over Rhovanost, unless they get a ceasefire with Rohan/RK. The Beornings might attack, but I have...
That was nice to watch again. A short note on Thrimfeld cause you mentioned in the video that you hoped to get Rhovanion Rangers there. This is not the case in the current version. Only the mercenary...
Hate those moments too when buildings get damaged. At least the repair price goes down considerably when the dominion building is up. Your crowdfunding approach is very, very impressive. What was...
One way to solve Adunabar struggles with Rhun or Khand is to raid the whole Nurn area, take Lond Nurnen for yourself, as it is highly developed and will be the easiest way to get Vassal Macemen, and...
I think if you put your troops from Tharbad and Swanfleet together and leave a sufficient garrison (4 bowmen) in Greyholm, you can send quite a large army towards Rivendell and then hurt Lastbridge...
That is nice to hear indeed! Likely that I'll start my first campaign in the new version with one of the affected factions.
Alright, I'll add my views on those topics as well..
So, what's the more difficult faction? Certainly Dorwinion isn't more difficult than Rhovanion. March Wardens are great, no question, but...
Thanks for the uploads! You're displaying a great love for detail there. I doubt many players know so many nuances of the game. I especially like to see your diplomacy guide in action! Impressive how...
Some really interesting points all in all...
Regarding the historical accuracy of hobbit archers at the battle of Fornost, I'd say it doesn't really matter. This part of proud hobbit...
I don't know what can technically happen to the game if the Shire is made playable. Was the only change I ever made to DoM. All I know is the amount of armies couldn't be recruited normally in that...
Something weird does happen. I played 3-4 more turns. The armies of Adunabar (at least the ones i saw) all look the same and have 2 units of trolls. And they just spawn endlessly in certain areas so...
I really like that idea of an Orcish submod. I think the two major Dwarven settlements Dwarrowdelf and Erebor would make good victory conditions. Further, would it be possible to get a conversion...
Don't worry too much about other people's expectations. It's just a hobby. If you got other things to do, your viewers better find something else as well. You have plenty of videos out there already,...
Yeah, price and populaton are the main issues with three armies. That seems almost impossible. To save one army, the non-chosen direction could be blocked by the Elves again, by either gifting them...
I think Burne to the Elves could work for a south first strategy. Good point there! The painful part would be missing out on those Retainer Longbowmen still, which might be less of an issue against...
