Do You Ever Play Good/Evil or Evil/Good Campaign's?

**Krieglord** · March 06, 2013, 02:05 PM

Do you ever turn from good to evil in your campaigns?

Ive done it twice in a row recently

As King Under The Mountain I took out Dale as a faction in 5 turns by eliminating their leaders in Dale then Esgaroth.

Then as Silvan's I turtled a bit then launched an attack on Erebor

It makes for quite a challenge to have Elvish troops up against Dwarven warriors

I did sort of the opposite, an evil campaign where I didn't act evil. I played as an evil faction (Rhun) but always released prisoners occupied settlements and made peace with the good guys, attacking Mordor instead. However I first took out Dale, Esgoroth, and Erebor.

I always wanted to make an AAR called the Age of Men. A story where Harad, Dunlend, and Rhun team up to wipe out all good/orc factions. Sadly my time has been limited but someone else can use my idea.

Done the opposite with Rhun one time.

**Mhaedros** · March 07, 2013, 07:21 AM

Did it as Dwarves once, first I allied with Rhun and we took out Dale together and after that I turned on Silvan Elves and after those pesky elves were dead I took out Rhun. After that I basically turned on everything, took out Mordor, Gondor and OotMM

Like Mikail I only did the opposite, with Isengard, but I got bored after I conquered Dunland

**eugenioso** · March 08, 2013, 09:08 AM

ive played as the silvans and won by wiping out Mordor, OOTMM, Isengard, OOG, and one time i decided to turn on my well meaning allies. it didnt go too well.

**Krieglord** · March 10, 2013, 10:36 PM

My next campaign will probably be as Rhun turned good after taking out Dale and the dwarves in the east I think... although Ill cheat and give mordor and harad millions of schillings to give me a challenge

^ It would be easier in my opinion to give them a much larger Kings Purse. That way you don't have to give them money again if they run out. Unless you are talking about more money than I think... (Of course you could do both)

Well I was just going to use add_money cheat and give them both a good few 3 or 4 million each as a start through the diplomacy panel.

I usually do that with my main enemy or an enemy I know I will eventually have to fight, sometimes I just give every faction a few extra million.

I seldom do "unexpected" things.
Never played a campaign good/bad with an oposite faction.

But what I did where things like making peace with Dale as Rhûn and later alliyng for a while - and the same as playing Isengard with Rohan.
But as I sad, only for a while - lateron I turned on them, hehe!

EDIT
oh, I forgot, as Rhûn I had a problem to get an alliance with Harrad - those idiots even turned at me, so I had to whipe them out. but the dark lord was in my favour so I hadn't to turn "good" and Harrad got excommunicated by pope Sauron I.

Hit the up arrow on your keyboard with the console command window open and it brings up the last command you used

So if i used process_cq Gundabad

then hit the up arrow

process_cq Gundabad shows up

saves a lot of time to not have to type out everything everytime

**knight of meh** · March 11, 2013, 12:39 PM

oh i know that sort cut Krieg but to add 1mil to an enemy using console commands....

im to lazy i will stick to altering there king's purse or starting gold

**Feanaro Curufinwe** · March 11, 2013, 01:00 PM

Tried sending diplomats to other factions to coerce them into my side.It's what Sauron did canonically.

**Legolose** · March 12, 2013, 02:54 PM

Did it once with the Silvan's but it .... just .... didnt .... feel ... right

What? That's the VERY best faction to do it with!

**avenging angel** · March 15, 2013, 08:37 PM

I dont want to. Most times i am within lore but playing as an elvish faction without access to assassins, i suppose i have no choice from time to time...
