The Men of the Mountains ARR Video Series is made with the mod D CI: Last Alliance

With it i try to bring to every episode a feel of a Roleplay campaign, where the faction's background and generals shape the decisions of the faction.
This is made with a Narrator that covers up the events of the campaign in a dramatic tone, while the characters interact with each other on ocasion.
This story, in particular, is about the Men of the White Mountains during the Second Age of Middle Earth, where they must chose an ally in the war.
Not all that happens each turn is showned. Much of what goes on, and sometimes full turns, is taken in order to make a cleaner and polished series.

The mod used is the Last Alliance mod, made by Ngugi and his team, it is not 100% completed, but ready to play with the faction i chose.
I liked to thank the team for allowing me access for this mod so that i could make this series before it's launch, so you can think of it as a preview.

Tamar seems like a persistent and brave commander. This is an interesting setting and a great start!

I like the way that you provide the back-story for the first battle in the forest, with the connection between the opposing commanders. I look forward to seeing what challenges the Men of the Mountains will face now.

It's clever of the Mountain King to avoid siding openly with the forces of Sauron or Elendil and to act in ways that can be interpreted as supporting either side. I wonder if he'll be able to maintain this nuetral stance, or if events will force him to choose a side. You tell the story of the battle well. Good uodate!

The appearance of shrines to Sauron and the secret dealings with agents of Sauron sound like dangerous developments, and Mogru looks like a formidable commander.

The attacks by the Wild Men of Enedwaith look dangerous. Athrad Angen seems to be a useful sanctuary in times of trouble, but it looks as if public order there is getting low, so I wonder if will remain a safe place. Good update!

The fortress at 3:15 has a familiar design! It looks like the Men of the Mountains are conserving their strength, weakening their enemies without committing themselves to a full attack against strongholds which would cost too many men to take.
