Call to Arms for DAC

[Jmonstra]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some volunteers for an epic 4v4 battle using DAC. We'll be recreating the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, or the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, from the Silmarillion and I'll be posting the video on my Youtube channel as part of an ongoing series of historical battles based on the works of Tolkien.

I think it would be a lot more fun to do this with actual people than to just play against the AI, so post here if you're interested in participating!

To do this you'll need:

-The most up to date version of DAC

-A computer capable of handling 10,000+ units

-The willingness to lose if you are the Good factions. Since this series has pretensions towards towards being "historical" obviously we can't alter the outcome of this battle, which is an overwhelming victory for the forces of Morgoth. That means the Elves/Men/Dwarves will be facing greatly superior forces and the outcome is pretty much a forgone conclusion. So fight bravely and have fun! You're literally making history

-As for the factions available to use, you've pretty much got your pick as long as it's a reasonable fit for the role you need to play. Obviously you can't be Morgoth's forces but play the Elves, or Dorwinion or something like that. Easterlings, for example, could be any of the mannish eastern factions. Harad/Umber/Rhun/Variags, it's all good baby. Due to space constraints the Edain present in this battle will simply be considered as being attached to the forces of Fingon. If you're planning on being the incarnation Fingon, then try to pick a faction with access to mannish auxilaries, like Imladris for example. Not necessary, but it makes for a good detail. The Edain were important in this battle and to the overall story arc, so it would be nice to see them physically present.

That's all! Enjoy!
