IF YOU WANT TO JOIN THE RESTART GROUP, CHECK OUT THE DISCORD SERVER WHERE WE'RE STARTING TO ORGANIZE: discord.gg/nPWrbdQq7X Although I mentioned this in my dedicated sweeping video, I forgot to call out in this video the fact that sweeping is hard to do at the very start of the game - everyone is tightly packed into a smaller starting area, and is very active, so it’s hard to find things to sweep. But once people spread out and are building forts, then you’ll have a MUCH easier time finding enough targets to sweep to make it worth being in a full sweeping build.

[@janihaavisto79]

Chisgule, I want to join LOTR restart as 1 of the 1p75 family. And I liked you to get to know me better also. Tried to find your restart from Discord. Didn't tho

So should i remake my account? & does it matter which fraction i join?

[@johnnygelin8391]

Doesn't this mean you lose all you have. Heroes, equipment and all?

[@stevenhoffman6241]

The knowledge I gained from this video was so very beneficial. I've watched this video multiple times and will watch it many times again, this is a homerun video. Thank you for sharing

[@the1nonlyeq649]

Super solid video! Ready for the restart ⚔️

[@GottyDot]

Having a faction that communicates and plans together is 1000000x more valuable than spending money. Couldn't agree with you more. Looking forward to the restart!

[@jkknight5348]

Effortless sweeping affects your mock battles which means you can send you commanders out for longer (the max being 15 ability points and 150 stamina) I've found this to be a great way to level up fast

[@jaredarp6433]

Love how you offered the time-stamps!

[@PlayfulY0g1]

If y'all want real knowledge, by mid week 2 I had a 300 tile. I did this by finding 5 people to zerg each others targeted 300s. 15-20 armies taking turns capping the tiles. A great advantage.

[@alexshepherd4469]

Power leveling commanders makes it easy. Our fellowship started on 300 tiles too late and got smashed by Gondor. They were on top of it

[@TheFoodieCutie]

Wow Chisgule! I’m happy to see you playing this game, I relied on you for good information in rise of kingdoms. It’s pure coincidence years later I happened to find you here, thanks for the great content!

[@UmaJaba1]

I'm so excited if you decide to do the server thing

[@ahijahjohnson6320]

Thank you so much for making this video it really helped me with the problems I been having for LOTR rise of war

[@dubbledown4844]

Really awesome vid man, keep up the fantastic work!

[@kingmalino0133]

Great video will help a lot in the next season!

[@shotzlikeme2788]

Great guide Chisgule, thank you for this👍

[@keithrobinson870]

Great advice mate I started playing this game one week ago started my own clan called sauron's doom we're now top 10 and growing fast I've been using a very similar strategy the only thing I'd like to add is it's helped me a lot to put two points of ring power to my gold Levy this pays big dividends especially at the beginning allowing you to upgrade your troops reducing your losses.

[@almostfreetoplay]

Well, in Season 3, sadly I was as far from dominate as physically possible!!! It depends so much on choosing the right faction!! Great vid thanks!

[@victordias4397]

Just passing to say: amazing explanation, ty a lot!

[@stephanusriantoputra8668]

Love the videos dude !!

[@brianmoore4240]

Just subbed! I’m in server 110, Lindon. We are at an all out war with Mordor . Losing all our land to other factions during the war. Wish I had this video back in September.. haha.

[@Ultrevolous]

Outstanding video - I felt like an idiot after watching this! Absolutely an outstanding guide, this should be on the front door of your channel. This is a total side note but I actually DONT think fort durability helps at all. I think if you're going to lose a fort, you're going to lose it. I suppose it wipes opposing players' stamina bars more...but I wonder if there's other ring powers you could spec that would be more useful than that, even in the extermination phase.

[@alicaljungberg3742]

Great guide!

[@lanceyeboi332]

Excited for the restart

[@andersgraham5852]

Join the discord mates!! The restart group is going to be a vibe.

[@skuirrelTV]

Love the vids bro

[@demongoddessx3]

Idk but I'm so lucky with this game , I always end up having 6-8 really high tier commanders in the first days with high lvl equipment but I always ran out of resources to conscript because I lost so many troops so thanks for doing these videos, I'll try to keep all of this in mind from now on 👀

[@mysound777]

Commenting to show support!

[@TheYostera]

Thx nice guide :)

[@MiniMikeZor]

in my 1st season the leader went inactive (the main fellowship of Arnor) i got lead, so me and like 5officers led us to a pretty good season. we had almost the entire western portion of the map the only problems we had was during the majority of the season we where in conflict with lothlorien.(in which we beat) came back in the last 2 weeks when the server was shutting down. and gave us problems while the majority of the players where finished and waiting for season 2

[@grandmasterkevv]

Great video, I agree with it. Except I never did the sweeping part, I don't think it was necessary, at least for me it wasn't. The most painful thing to do now is just waiting for troops to heal and to constript them. I never run out of rss anymore cause everything is maxed, which is great. Good tips for those people that have a hard time getting to this point. All my faction needs to do is take 1 more capital and we win

[@chisguleplays]

The tavern tips from sweeping are super important! I always feel like prioritizing team objectives and fighting is more important than sweeping… but if those activities were in a good place (or I didn’t have much time to play) I’d try to sweep a lot.

[@FlyingDutchman3]

Sounds like a solid guide, are you gonna play an evil faction next season or still a good faction? Would be curious what you think about the evil units and commanders and setups for them

[@zbos364]

I do agree plus also no real tech is in the game for your troops if you ignore the bonuses of the different troops

[@racheltheradiant4675]

After hearing you explain tiles and forts again, it makes me wonder if Lilith was trying to mimic this gameplay with March of the Ages.🤔

[@ChristopherFleming]

I send all new players on my server here Chisgule. Good work thanks very well done. We asked all of our players to max control and stamina immediately reset max yield stop conscripting and taking tiles build hall ten … ASAP One thing that you could correct on here you say don’t build stone tributes / rock ect. UnTill later … bad call Another one you said build the quarters because it gives gold and resources they should be done on day two and three any building you can make that gives resources should be done ASAP

[@clayp6415]

I played my second season ever recently, after doing "ok" in my first, and the whole gathering for resources got me so far ahead during the beginning. I was up to second place production in my server. I lost that place, now down to 9, but cant farm forever, someones gotta take keeps and murder the enemies haha

[@a.hammer5598]

Just started and in two days I am no where near wheat u were in two days . I ll try to follow your examples.

[@Ultrevolous]

Hey could you put out a counter video? I want to learn all the counters to all the different builds

[@samuelnolasco7186]

Nice

[@mickeyzader9501]

I think its very Importent to get 1 200, 230, 260 or 300 tile as soon as possible, the exp from mockbatlles on those tiles with the boosts is crazy, it will snowball your game singnificantly ftom there. And if u know u cant take one yourself ask a friend for help at These tiles. And return the favor. Just time the attacks togehter.

[@rancoryan2112]

Have you done an updated one of these for the new ring?

[@VoicesInTheWall]

Have you done a commander teir list yet?(love the vids!)

[@chisguleplays]

Not yet but soooooon : )

I am playing Erebor and we got cornered by rohan thun and angmar on like day 2 or 3,but managed to get alliance with mordor, block angmar and now we are chasing rhun and rohan with GONDOR and mordor.

[@jasonbradley8993]

Radius of warband too

[@iflankzttv2981]

I mean the resources bonuses are so much more worth it than sweeping. You get to the point where you are strong enough and will only lose a few hundred troops that can easily be healed

[@thisischris5351]

Chisguuuulllle we love you! 😩

[@emilormistor6739]

Can you do a video on how to get the marathon metals and where to redeem it at please

[@travissmith1585]

I know this is an old video and I'm late in messaging but some of this info doesn't translate to the game anymore as they changed how the ring levels/powers are acquired only after a certain level 50/70 can you get ring ability points and powerful sweeping. Any updates for new players?

[@ArcaneAvenger]

Not at all interested with LOTR, but here to support you with my humble comment Chis ✌🏼⚡

[@grandmasterkevv]

Wish I was rank 4, I'm at rank 12 currently at Ring lv 156. My Fellowship has the 67 spots of the top 100 in ring power lol my Fellowship has the strongest players xD

[@MahoneyBadger]

Control gives you more ability points faster? Or it just allows you to hold more?

[@thememefactory8108]

How long is a season? I just started the game last week and I’m unsure how long is in this season and when does it end.

[@springtrapnibba]

Here's 2 steps to dominate, 1. Join good side 2. Join lothlorien Bonus step. Curb stomp evil cause the units are weak

[@julianmurer4759]

True lmao

[@tobiascalderon3746]

in my server lothlorien was destroyed

[@crishernandez7622]

I hope I can be apart of the New server !!

[@peterkelemen8300]

I noticed your stone production is significantly lower than others. Was it a strategic choice since might not need to build so much anymore? And focus your resources into training better troops?

[@brianxuereb4301]

After you have had the buildings maxed out, you would only need stone for forts. In the beginning, stone is very essential though and should be the highest.

[@bertcoysman8253]

Does s2 start right away after cutoff? Been told theres 48 h between cut and start

[@richardneufeld545]

I started the game and plunked down into an area with only to fellowships, one in a foreign language and the other non communicative. Then in a few days my area was taken. So I moved and found the same thing happen, and again a third time. Time to find a different game

[@Dennerling]

Do you know where to recruit Huorns?? Thats the ents from red book of westmark chapter 12

[@brianmoore4240]

We are at a war so bad we are having to claim tiles while in new land during a war bc our old land is getting taken by 3 other factions xD

[@MrKylebailey]

Is there 1 commander which is recommended to use as the main tile capturer?

[@carlospulido964]

Dwalin for good side and in my experience Grima for evil side

[@gsaufgshfoafhs8877]

when is it going to happen????

[@DJXaeR0Music]

Does it make sense to purchase the season pass ? for stuff that will stay for season 2 Wait for the season 2 to buy it ?

[@Rom116Unashamed]

As long as you'll get to level 50 I don't think it really matters. Everything you get in the pass carries over. I guess the only reason to wait for season 2 would be to maybe get different items in the pass.

[@Holthane]

Are you guys still active? Discord link is not working for me. Looking for a good active group to join. Let me know!

[@Rick-ny3fw]

I have been sweeping every day for last 2 weeks. Probably over 100 sweeps and have never got a tavern tip from it. Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong?

[@chisguleplays]

That's really weird. No clue what's going on.

I'm like 18 ring power got most tiles 2 forts one 20lvl commander 2 11 and one at 18 I don't run on resources or stamina and I'm like shit I don't sweep at all

[@blizzblizz3005]

I don't think you've talked about this in another video but did you know the Marathon chest has a wishlist for getting a greater chance of commander respect items? wish i knew about this in the beginning of the season!!

can you trade recourses in this game like Rise of Kingdoms? Awesome content btw , greetings from Belarus)

you spent more than $3 to get gandulf or how did you get him.

I did not. You get many mathom medals over the course of a season, prioritize accordingly. When I later restarted I spent a lot of money and got him within the first few days… but in this video on that account I got him slowly over time.

Bro how the F do you get 11 commanders! i got 3 :S played nonstop 3 weeks havent spend a singel dollar ..

[@chisguleplays]

Use your items to unlock them in the tavern and do tavern quests

[@WeversonCachinsky]

I feel like 100K extra HP on your fort is not worth it. It's just one extra hit

[@chisguleplays]

It’s true, 20 stamina drain is not a ton… but if your enemy is not in a war state it could take 60 stamina. Plus if everyone in your fellowship has it, and there are 20 forts in an area, that’s 400 extra stamina they have to spend. You’re definitely right that it’s not much, but I do think it has some value.

[@WeversonCachinsky]

@@chisguleplays That's a good point. However, in most battles, if the enemy is already taking your forts it means there's no defense left so it doesn't matter if they spend that much extra stamina, right?

[@WeversonCachinsky]

It might open the opportunity to a counter attack since they drain their stamina though

[@Tom-ge4yh]

Spent 3 dollars but have GtG, Gimli and Galadriel.. okay for season 1 but I promise you in season 2 you're going to fall so far behind the spenders. They're running round with Gimli at respect 10 and yours is pushing for respect 3. Bad times. Their khaldoon is r15 and your GtF is also pushing r3.... more bad times. Season 1 can be fun in free to play but if ANYONE tells you guys you wont fall behind in season 2 or especially season 3 they're lying to you

[@alexandercheatham]

Your fort set up is bad. If going in a strait line with three forts u should be able to delete the middle fort and the other two circles still touching

[@Jmacd799999]

Three dollars and never getting laid again and you too could be a God! Just spend every waking minute playing or lying and you're set

[@cdave2006]

Erebor is cheated, insane defence up to 150 with their tier 4. won't be that good in season 2 with more focus damage.

[@marekhegedus1062]

In endgame the paywall is easy to feel, on our server we, dwarfs, were fighting Lindol and they have like 20 people putting lots of money into the game. They pumped 3K euros for one night each.Its not funny to play like this when you are constantly attacked with Boerings and Eagles and they just refresh with gems and buy stamina for gems and doing it for hours.

[@MrJosefd10]

You can only get 1 stamina potion a day that gives you 3 attacks on 1 commander. They can heal some troops back with gems but still you can too if you saved your speed ups. The only advantage of a spender is he has more commanders to choose from with higher respect level, and the biggest one is, Equipment refined and strenghtened to max.
