@@CptTotalWaffle So you had to look at the archer stats in the game files? That's funny that they don't say that in-game. I have been playing exclusively DAC for MTW2 and charging archers head on with heavily armored cavalry like general's bodyguard is usually fine, but this mod they are a lot more fragile. Also in a siege battle, I tried to brute force my general through the fighting at the gate, to attack the enemy from behind, but they got completely slaughtered when I tried that and I had to take my general, with only 6 guys left, far away from the fighting...

​@@keanumoerman5824 If you can make some decent armies and strike early, you can often take the wind of the sails of your foes. Especially useful can be to take key enemy settlements. In terms of economy, I'll always recommend growing your settlements early on with farming buildings and basic trade buildings. These will give good value both early and late. Getting a lot of trade agreements with your neighbours will boost income and perhaps deter a aggression... though I'm actually not too sure about the latter.

With any luck, the hordes of Khand will throw everything against their former cities over the end turn and will be a destroyed faction come your next turn. You should have battles against Isengard and Mordor over the end turn, as well. The section entitled Battle of Edoras was not. It was the battle of Khand's capital. You've said often enough that you want Gondor to do well. Truth is those cities would do far better as yours than they will as Gondor's.

Balin's in a spot of bother. Your own fault, too. You auto-resolved a battle that should have been fought manually, you had reserves you did not commit and you allowed the enemy to ransom their troops. You do not need the money. You got lazy. Did you decide the campaign needed some spicing up? That the dwarves are just too strong? The Dunlendings have a lot of cheap units. The units you have that you don't hire would mean you fight on an even balance and you could do that. Save your better units for enemies that need them, if you wanted to.

Thats not how construction reduction works xD the general needs to be in the city when you start building the building otherwise it wont be cheaper. Because the que buildings dont take away from your treasury untill its their turn to be built. So you have to move him, build 1 building, send him back, on each new building. But you have the money so it doesnt matter really. Oh and taking the lothlorien capital provides the biggest buff to cheeper buildings -30%. Making some towns build for 1 gold :D

Mordor has claimed another of Dol Amroth's generals. I like forgetting about Durthang or is it Durthanq nestling just to the left of the Black Gate? I expect to see Isengard attacking you at the Black Gate. I like that they are sending full stacks at you. 4 cities of Mordor. I like how you're sending small stacks east so cavalierly, when you know Khand has force west of Korondaj. Khand should recall all its forces to attack Adrahil in Siakan and you set up Adrahil's force to be good in defensive struggles. Should being the operative word. 4 Khand cities and two armies already on route. 2 more and and the Khandish menace will be ended for good. Next, three armies for Mordor's eastern cities and defences against Rhun. I know you want Gondor to do well, but this is rump Gondor. The line of the Stewards is no more. Best thing you can do is buy up as much of Gondor as you can, reducing it to where the Last Stand army is triggered that'll be sent against Enedwaith and take the three cities in the 'corner'. Then when the Enedwaith diplomat finally reaches you, you'd have six well developed cities to take. Each to his own, however, if that is not something you'd want to do.

While I have faithfully watched every single episode of the campaign, I'm not much of a commentator. So let me start with congratulating you on your campaign; it has been fun to watch and I'm glad you've decided to play on a little bit further even though the campaign has already been won. There's one thing I would like to mention regarding the ransoming of captives. If an army loses more than 85% of its troops in a battle, it gets destroyed. However, a paid ransom prevents this. If a ransom is paid, not only are the prisoners returned, but also all other remaining soldiers. For example, in that battle against Khand outside Korondaj, executing the prisoners would have destroyed the army. By accepting the ransom, Khand also got its amok running Great Beasts back. While I personally kill everyone because of that most of the time, I'm not saying it is a mistake to ask for a ransom per se. Everyone is entitled to play the game the way they like to, that's the beauty of Medieval 2. But I think it's something players should be aware off.
@CptTotalWaffle
@CptTotalWaffle Ай бұрын
Certainly the reintroduction of rampaging beasts is a concern, although I'd happily venture that these particular ones won't be threatening Korondaj due to the walltowers, and they probably won't be able to halt our general advance upon their lands either. ... let's hope that I'm not disastrously wrong. I wish you the most fruitful summer possible and lovely autumn to boot. I'll do my best to keep swinging DAC around in the meantime :)

Judging by the colour of the faction on your borders, Isengard owns the settlement north of the Black Gate and the one to its west. When you take the Black Gate you will likely trigger Mordor's Last Stand army, but you look to have the forces you need to face off against it. I still wish you'd buy the settlements of Brethil, Tarnost and Ethring off Gondor. There's a White Tree fort south of Fanuilond. You are not at war with Gondor, yet. I stress, yet. Enedwaith is fighting both Gondor and Isengard. Allying Enedwaith and joining its war against Gondor means you don't have declare war on your ally, Gondor. Where was Gondor when Rohan fell? Losing Minas Tirith to Mordor. Gondor only exists because the Silver Swan saved it. It Steward, the do-nothing Denethor and his sons; the brutish Boromir and the bookish Faramir do not strike fear in the hearts of their enemies nor love in their friends. West of Chelkar is a fort still flying the Khandish flag. That ought to be taken by an army (small) marching to Chelkar. The forces there could march towards Kyzikum with some of the knights that won't fit in the two armies at Kruk Mahur, both of whom can start moving towards Khand's cities in a row. You've one in Korondaj that could also move towards those four cities. There's an army of Khand that is west of Korondaj that could be countered by a force plus general coming from Amrun. There's no point triggering a Last Stand force, if you don't have to. i's easier to take the three cities of eastern Mordor from Khand than it is walking across Mordor. Feel free to take my suggestions on board or not. It is up to you. If they are what you were going to do, great minds and all that.
@CptTotalWaffle
@CptTotalWaffle Ай бұрын
I can say that I've been thinking along similar lines when it comes to most of the Khandish stuff; Gondor is interesting... while I'm partial to keeping the settlements that give us unique units like Osgiliath, I'm not in a hurry to take away key recruitment regions from them. I want Gondor to do well :) They just needed to receive upgrades to the settlements they lost, and we did get that done. There's relatively little to be gained for us by purchasing anything they have left. :)

Poor Duron. The settlement his men took should be renamed in his honour. Korondaj looks like it will come under attack by two full, almost. stacks of Khand. Chelkar looks to be coming under more attacks from Khand. meanwhile Adrahil is going to the Khandish capital to take it and force Khand to focus on him. You've got a lot of troops in towns that should not becoming under attack. I don't know if they are awaiting upgrades to armour and weapons or are just awaiting their marching orders to go assist on the front line. You certainly reacted quickly to Mordor in Rohan, sending a full stack west. I wonder how many other towns Mordor controls north of the Black Gate?

Dwarwes in Third Age TW are built for going on an "tank expedition" where one gathers an massive heavy stack, takes a town each turn, and hand them over to an ally who can do the governing while the stack continues, only exchanging with replacements from the "core" or from a single "Forward operating Base" once every 10 turns or so. You should do the "heavy stack ally" once you have taken the Misty Mountains, to "link up the Dwarwen lands" in the North. Also: maybe turn off the fog each 5 turns to see how the allies are doing.
