You cannot lie to us!!!

[@SD-og8qd]

Mate, you do not need to thank us,we(or more specifically me) thank you for bringing us this content that i think is better than other youtubers(debatable) and keep on going and doing great vids.

[@bobland7206]

We are grateful for the countless hours mate

[@Uberdude6666]

Whenever I toggle fog of war in my Gondor-campaign I tell myself in like a dramatic voice "..and Denethor then took the anor-stone up on to the heights of Amon-hen, and there he sat upon the seat of Seeing, thus gathering news of all the lands about him."

[@dariomatas788]

new script coming unite dol amroth and umbar into dol umba.😂😂😂

[@ETdu14]

Dario Matas That sounds awesome :D

[@thijs283]

Congratulations 🎉🍾🎈🎊

[@teggart123]

I just want to say thankyou for the many hours of lore videos you have provided to me. I wasn't that into LOTR or have much knowledge of Tolkien's work until you somehow reeled me into all and now I'm obsessed:-) the hours of work you have made bearable for me to stay awake while I'm on the night shift is priceless... phone on headphones in listening to your lore videos and I'm somehow enjoying my shift haha thankyou good sir

[@HrothgarHeavenlight]

I expected Arach to look more like Jingles: old weary gnome.

[@Rhae_of_Sun]

Nope, still not used to that face. I´ll just continue imagining you as a classy english man in a suit sipping on tea. Then again, if you had a suit and a cup of tea you would look exactly like you sound. I demand you get a suit this instant.

I have many suits. I am wearing one right now in fact. However it is rare that we wear suits as casual garb around the house. :P

[@Rhae_of_Sun]

What about a cup of tea from which you sip every two minutes? The kind that never seems to run out of Tea for classy atmosphere xD

[@michaelorourke36]

Valar Morghulis Valar Dohaeris I imagined him as a tiny nerd with black hair not an English rugby player!

[@LyricalDJ]

Regarding Angmar and the Witchking: given how orcs and other minions of Sauron act, having the Witchking return at Sauron's command to organise the rabble of the north, it seems likely enough that he would, in fact, do away with whomever had been ruling from _his_ rightful place of power. Just a thought. More importantly, thank you for the content you create.

[@marioschr8181]

Slower turns were the exact reason for which i quit MOS back at the time...keep the fast turns up mate!

[@lordoflinks4668]

Thank you for answering my questions, and indeed all the videos you make and the modding you do.

[@TalosBjorn]

Please don't leave! Or if you do leave, teach your successors everything you know

[@euanorr3626]

thank you for the video and the work on dac. its much appreciated. all the best with rhe job.

[@HeroAraner]

Maybe for the reunited kingdom script, if you choose to reunite Arnor and Gondor, you could have to do a fun little battle against the witch king leading a large army of angmar/mordor units, wanting to stop the rebuilding of the Arnor he brought down all those years before? Could make the choice a bit more interesting.

[@lordoblivion8038]

Well that would be GG and fun challenge* if you somehow micro manage both faction region at the same time.

[@liamrobinson3]

"Just started tipping it down" - I live up North so I definitely know the feeling

[@negative_zero]

Came here from the lore videos (never played DaC), and I just wanted to say thanks for the book recommendation. Just finished The Lost Fleet and enjoyed every word of it.

[@Poirotissmug]

Annoyed that I was too late for this video but hopefully my question might still get an answer. Have there ever been talks about adding any Drúedain peoples, such as the Wild Men of the Woods like Ghân-buri-Ghân? Also there are descriptions of eastern men in ROTK: "Men of a new sort that we have not met before. Not tall, but broad and grim, bearded like dwarves, wielding great axes. Out of some savage land in the wide East they come, we deem." Has the DaC team ever considered these? Sorry for the late and lengthy question, but I'm enjoying the channel greatly so keep up the good work :)

They are in game. Merc units.

[@badnade4886]

Thank you so much for answering my question.

[@Immort4llity]

So Arachir I posted a question/suggestion on your channel but you didn't see it I guess! First off: a minor suggestion for the DaC mod... female characters! Where are Galadriel, Arwen and Eowyn? Is it possible to add female characters as generals or maybe as princesses? Also another one I have thought about: is it possible to add one man units for the important characters in the books for roleplaying reasons? I saw this in other mods I think? ((Disregard my original comment: I thought there were one man units in the Fellowship campaign for TATW but they are 10 in one unit.)) Thanks in advance for your time and I want to express my thanks for all your work on this mod aswell! Cheers

And here I was hoping that Galu would change this channel into a vloging channel :P

[@torgeirdrivenes2646]

You deserve it 👍

[@Lord_Imrahil]

Does the size of a region influence the wealth/growth or just that they have more resources normally? I would like to just get a zip file, which I can be put in the modfolder for as an installation, I find that easier.

Some pretty fancy shirts you got man, nice

ohh so thats how angmar just pop a full banner army out of no where with 2 unit of snow trolls😂😂

[@thill306]

Questions on Fort-town Guardhouses: Are there some cities with forts in region that can't build this? I'm playing as Khazad-dum and have taken Fornost Erain. There is a fort to its left however the guardhouse doesn't appear in the building browser and so I can't build it. Thanks.

That bug was fixed ages ago.

[@swedefromtwitt]

Isn't Bree land a part of the reunited kingdom ?

[@michalkodejs4192]

I have a question about the Obedience trait. Does it have any use in DAC? I know in the base game it is called Piety and it is for the Generals and Priests. When the priest has a lot of Piety he is more likely to become a cardinal and then a pope. And the higher the General's piety is, he is less likely to be killed by a inquisitor.

[@gertjanmateboer5882]

Why don't the dwarfs of the blue mountains have harbors? Would be amazing for trade purposes:)

[@mrtyty1919]

im not sure if you've mentioned this before but Is it possible to remove the animation for the diplomat when he attempts a bribe?

[@elitedwarf4258]

I think that animation is hard-coded in so it will always play. However, changing that animation might be possible but I'd have to look into it. Also, bribery isn't removed 100%, it is just reduced to having no effect so in the game engine's mind it still sees bribery as a usable "feature" and the diplomats still attempt to use it (thus the animations) but their effects are 0.

[@Catstecc]

Nice Video.

[@Sdarinette]

I'm thinking about starting a lets play for DAC, but i feel like it would be wasted if version 2 is coming in not too long. Can you give hints if you think you will release in the next 6 months or if you are gonna take your time for the 2.0? thanks !

We will take our time.

[@gonzalogarcia6793]

You have said that you can only speak English, but how about sindarian?? 😂😂

[@hugoakerlund5114]

Gonzalo García sindarin isnt actually a language is it?

[@Rhae_of_Sun]

Well, it kind of is. It´s not a officially accepted language simply because not a lot of people actually speak it and it isnt the first or second language of any State or Country. But in terms of what makes a language, Sindarin has almost all properties of a language like complicated Grammar rules etc.

[@carolusmartellus2520]

Languages are a dialect with an army :)

[@alexanderweber9447]

will the reunited kingdom get some new unique units or get the arnor men-at-arms back(maybe with an other name)?

[@alexanderweber9447]

MrKushion but not that looking...I don't understand why they don't add the arnor men at arms amour, because the arthedain men at arms didn't got tier one, two or three armour, so you could add the arnor men at arms armour as tier one and two...so the third tier would be the arthedain men at arms armour...

[@elitedwarf4258]

We are reserving some of our last remaining unit slots for potential Reunited Kingdom units but we haven't decided which specific units.

[@alexanderweber9447]

Pls remove these militia captains and give us the arnor units (maybe as arthedain units) back...or add their amour looking for tier one and two to the arthedain men at arms units...good luck with the reunite kingdom script ;)

[@alexanderweber9447]

MrKushion no local militia is ok...but there are units which are called militia CAPTAINS...They look like the arnor units but they're half bowmen and swordsmen with shields...but their shields are always wiggling in melee and i would prefer to have the arnor havy archers and arnor men-at-arms maybe with an other name for example arthedain light men at arms or they add their armour to the arthedain men-at-arms as tier one and two armour which is also ok...but these militia captains didn't really exist if you watched the first film you see them at the last alliance-battle as swordsman and archers so as professional units not as militia captains with bow and sword...so that's my opinion...

[@alexanderweber9447]

they can still add them as militia units but then pls as swordsmen and archers....

[@gonzalogarcia6793]

I posted​ this comment before, and I hadn't a reply directly from you. I'm posting again just in case you hadn't read. Dispite the fact that you have said that you are not gonna add new factions, how about adding Balchoth tribes as a new one? You can use most of the rhuninc units and make them fight against Rhun in order to nerf them. Appart from that once Rhun defeat them, you can let them using chariots units for example. Thanks for the great job and nice video

[@FourAngelsX]

I don't think there is any more room for a new faction ie. they have maxed out all the slots.

[@northenface4288]

They removed the ents, so there is a spot. But they might be out of unit slots?

[@Halloyaw11]

Gonzalo García They're saving the last unit slots for something else

[@tweedilde8089]

Out of curiosity would you ever do a Sindarin series teaching us how to speak it or would you rather just let the internet do it Mod related: would you ever do a mini campaign like the fellowship campaign from mos or base Tatw but it would be the fall of Arnor

[@christiannilsson4357]

Will Dol Amroth be included in the reunited kingdom?

I think as vassals.

[@jckstudios7693]

So, if you put the drop dash script into the rdsk mod loader, does it support it or does it just take it as nothing

[@jckstudios7693]

Btw this is sonic 1 2013

[@jckstudios7693]

Another question, does the script affect tails?

About 17 times I should think.

[@vnoisea6302]

adding the druedain faction to combat south western gondor would be interesting, not sure if itd be worth the effort but would make more sense than orcs in the blue mountains. xD

[@mielz2852]

For Angmar what if ur faction leader get killed and the witch king will spawn

[@munch3r756]

I asked a question that got a lot of support but it didn't get answered - it was on Angmar episode 29 and said "When do you predict the final version of DaC will be?". I would rather like to know your thoughts on this :)

Hahahahahahahahahahaha: 7

[@munch3r756]

Arachîr Galudirithon Cheers XD

[@nythyas123]

I am ok for Arnor but, i think you would need to add to kings purse to Mordor when that happens. No point of making Arnor if Mordor still stays that "weak" ^^

[@Lathrok]

Okay, I may not have seen the vid where he said he would remove bribery. Can someone explain why it has been deleted ? I think that bribing orcs or gobelins is still a bit accurate no?

[@LyricalDJ]

Lathrok It has to do with how the AI likes to spam diplomats to bribe whomever they come across, including other diplomats.

[@Lathrok]

Hm okay I see, but as Dorwinion wealthy as fck we won't be able to bribe goblins ? kinda sad But thanks for your time :)

[@torgeirdrivenes2646]

Is it normal that when you play as kazad dum, that Shadow of Mirkwood has a bigger army then the one you start with when you play with Mirkwood?

Yes. That is true for almost every faction. The AI is not a good as a human.

[@samh115]

hi im playing as the northen Dunedin and i have conquerd all of moredor and done all my objectives but as we all know i need to destroy the ring to win, problem is its in umbar and they have atleast 5 20 stack armies feelsbadman

Then step up and destroy them! :)

[@samh115]

i shall try i just cba walking there cause im a lazy shit

[@krichardj]

Why did you mention the nostrils? I don't notice men's faces, hetero-blindness. But now I can't look away. This nostril business must be proven! Perhaps independent measurements or alternative lighting. Until I know the resolution of the nostril issue, the Korean Peninsula and nuclear proliferation have no meaning. Great q and a!

Hello, good sir, I do have a proposal for a new faction. How about the Rhudaur tribes?

No.

[@lucasgoldschmitt5329]

Arachîr Galudirithon so direct 😂

[@billjinn445]

Is there any plan to buff up the ring script in v2? No AI cares about it at all, not even Mordor will try to go for the ring. I have actually had a campaign where a Mordor general sacked a city with the ring in it, got the ring and kept going like nothing happened.I had to cheat him back to the Black Gate to force him to deliver the ring.Also, given that in the very late game, Ered Luin is the strongest faction in the game, can you please consider adding the dwarves as invasion targets?

The Dwarves are invasion targets in V2. However Ered Luin is too far away for Mordor to care about tbh. The AI cannot be made to 'care' about any script. That is why if the ring is not picked up by a human player after it has cycled 8 times then the AI are automatically set to have claimed it for Sauron. The game is old and we cannot do very much in the limited engine.

[@billjinn445]

Can you make it so, as soon as the ring is located in a good faction capital, Sauron calls an invasion? If there is one available of course. At the moment the ring feels completely irrelevant.By the way, in v1.2 if a good faction takes hold of all of Mordor's lands, the faction is not destroyed, just like you say. What it does is that the invasions stop. Is that meant to work this way?

[@the3brownis]

on what planet are DaC turn times are 12 and a half seconds? in my current moria campaign they average between 90 and 120 seconds, if I'm lucky... if it weren't for your youtube videos that i can watch in between turns, I think i would've gone mad at around turn 7 ps.: no, its not my rig gtx 870m, 12gb ram

+Seb Brown just reinstall. Start from complete scratch.

[@the3brownis]

I saw/heard you mention this tip before, yet after reinstalling everything (including MW2) twice, ill consider this avenue of attack not viable, at least for me... in any case, ive sort of given into the reality of slow turn times, so they've become part of playing dac for me now

[@liamwot5315]

thank Eru Ilúvatar for that

[@gnarlynarly1350]

make dunland and enedwaith able to train rhudaur units if they make it there because they are wildmen/middlemen

[@elspanoo]

maybe the reunited kingdom can come together with a new rise of the witchking in angmar. it could be in a later state in the game since you will lose the regions of angmar that you have conquered to the witchking because he has deceived the dunedain living there to fight for him. this will give angmar a lot of new units(more like the units from Bfme Rotw). Just an idea to make the Reunited kingdom champaign more difficult in late stages. it could also be a thing that if angmar is still alive when you reunited the kingdom, the witchking will spawn on an invasion for your capital with an angmar banner.

[@lordoblivion8038]

Liam Bergsma OK about the later stages if angmar alive for the reunited kingdom. IF you destroyed angmar early on then the rise the witch king script will be useless And why do you want to make a new units base on bfme? Well I like your idea and I try to request them to added dark rangers for angmar cause they are "no black numenorian in angmar what not" If they do survive then you will need a new message box about the lost of your northern region of angmar or ered luin dwarves will lose there angmar holding just to make the script work.

[@elspanoo]

yea true, but if the witchking spawns with a strong stak of units to retake former angmar, there is a challenge near your homelands for the dunedain. and i know, its not lore accurate at all to have dark numenorians in angmar, its just to have some cool higher tier units for angmar. maybe there can be better orcs or wights that fight for you. it is more to have stronger units for angmar. it was just an idea, it would be cool to see the reunited kingdom defend their own lands against angmar, instead of against for example isengard.

[@lordoblivion8038]

Liam Bergsma it's true is just a idea but I respect what galu said about no black numenorian*but it break my soul* what not. Instead of numenorians how about Trolls from mordor and Elite Rhaudar as well that would be great

[@elspanoo]

yea, elite rhudaur would be awesome.
