I didn't even realize I was apart of this replay, this is awesome. I was having a fun time duking it out as Dale for as long as possible.

[@rabbit4097]

What a sacrifice to know you get defeated!

[@ΟΡΕΣΤΗΣΚΟΣΜΑΣ]

The five armies are men of Dale,elves,dwarves,dol guldur army of orcs and army of gundabad orcs

[@jaysmind94]

The "trolls" are too op , also the elves let everyone down there

[@akeverday7]

5:43 Apollo: Look at this Orc unit, look at these guys Also Apollo: *proceeds to look at a Dwarf unit*

[@TheZombifiedGuy]

43:37 The five armies were the elves of the Woodland Realm, the men of Lake-town/Dale, the dwarves led by Thorin and Dain, and then two orc armies from Gundabad and Dol Guldur. So you were close, it's just that there were two separate armies of orcs and there definitely weren't enough eagles to make up an army of their own (though I bet the Free Folk of Middle Earth wish otherwise, lol)

[@Grunk111]

Movie version yes, book version the Wolves are the fifth army.

[@TheZombifiedGuy]

@@Grunk111 Is that right? My mistake, then.

[@Grunk111]

@@TheZombifiedGuy Not a misstake really, this battlemap is obviously based on the movie version anyway.

[@MrDarkforce12]

Always love seeing the dwarves do their thing. I do think the ogres need a little balancing tbh. idk how they survived the entire battle and only lost 2...

[@isaacblack4197]

Yeah thought they were a little broken

[@markalvarado4450]

in total there was 6 units of trolls. with how broken they seemed that was gonna be a loss, but hindsight 20/20

[@dakotatomes4561]

I think it was just because they were fighting on a downhill slope, and the dwarves/elves had pretty much run out of ammo to shoot them down at that point. Any unit in that position can do fairly well, especially a unit like the ologs. I fought a similar battle except the positions were switched and I had units of hall guardians facing me from uphill. Tried sending my own pikes which were longer, but any melee unit I sent got absolutely destroyed. The Hall Guardians came out of each encounter with 0 deaths. It wasn't until I started keeping my melee units back and focusing them down with archers that they started to drop. I've seen the trolls get taken down fairly easily before if they were attacked by the right units or in the right position. I do agree the amount of olog units was a little overkill though.

[@AegonTheUnlikely]

For reeeeaal those Trolls are WAAAAY too OP to the point that it’s breaking the game. Are they supposed to be invincible to anything but arrows? That’s how it seemed, and I don’t think that makes sense. Like after a while of fighting massed infantry and even pikes, they should slowly die off.

[@Natediggetydog]

A glorious battle Apollo, one of the finest slideshows I’ve ever had the pleasure of viewing😂

[@PixelatedApollo1]

Lol Attila moment

[@winndypops]

Real gorgeous map, Dawnless Days really as some awesome sets.

[@elichoiniere9172]

Always love lotr content glad its happening again thank you apollo

[@merkytippery]

Your commentary was absolute gold on this one Pixie ahaha Edit: what a sick siege map. Those olog-hai are so op lol

[@d.w.6216]

So are the orcs supposed to be black people or Jews?

[@charliereader3462]

⁠​⁠@@d.w.6216the dwarves are loosely modelled on Jews

This mod is proof that CA is in the "new king's clothes" and the crown is lost. Great mod guys, thank you for your hard work.

[@Tge97]

Always Love to see dawnless days on the channel

[@adammac4960]

The thing that gets me about tolkiens books is it’s always 200 elves and 300 men and 200 dwarfs against like a 100,000 orcs and they always seem to win 😂

[@c4nnon_fodd3r]

I just watched the damn movie again! Loved the FH stream yesterday btw! Great battle, gotta love the EPIC lotr armies.

[@thefallene6119]

His sound effects for the dwarves throwing axes is hilarious, thank you for the amazing commentary as usual Apollo!

[@Evelyn-qt3hi]

I'm late to this video but I love how Apollo's "elf voice" sounds like a gay man at the bottom of a well

[@mr.s2005]

they really do have the Trolls overpowered in this game.

[@Andrewthehasty]

I saw one second of a clip for this battle and had to watch the whole thing. Love the slaughter LOTR brings

[@stephencampbell7603]

33:03, Are the trolls based off Elephant models? swear i just heard one trumpet lol

[@maximepuebla1069]

Well, seem like there is a little balance problem with olog-haï

[@geekyzebra91]

That random elephant sound made me laugh, I needed that thanks

[@gho5tspartan26yt]

Apollo I fucking love your voice acting things you do

[@adrianbrzostek3163]

I miss the in-depth look at the army comps 😢

[@mylesdrake2949]

The 5 armies are men, dwarves, elves, orcs and goblins.

[@Tman54011]

12 minutes in and your voice acting has me dying. lol. And by dying, i mean so immersed because of how accurate it is.

[@samuraidraco1571]

YEEEEEESSSSS! I've been waiting for one of these for a while now after the last came out long ago!

[@marducms]

In the book, Beorl and a bunch of animals attacked too.

[@andysalter7779]

when i worked on FATW for RTW I made a troll that was able to smash down gates but giving them the axeman animation, but in the text files setting them as elephant mounts and putting an invisible orc rider on top.

[@ingamingpc1634]

If anyone's wondering what's happening here we're just seeing another place where the Elves and the men of Dale have lost this probably led to the alternate Battle of Helm's Deep

[@dukeluke32fi]

LMAO when he said lasagna blades that had me dyin' 🤣

[@montagex]

The voice acting is just fantastic😂❤

[@habbidasher6937]

I was thinking very much the opposite. I had my finger on the mute button the entire time ready to smash it.

[@singingtaxidriver64]

too many trolls that seem impossible to kill

44:00 I think its officially 2 orc Armies. Dol Guldor and Gundabad. Might be wrong, but thats how I understood it in the Hobbit

[@Fleurio668]

The fifth army was the wargs

[@slavnat8446]

IMAGINE if the game was created, much like that. It would be glorious.

[@Mikesman1000]

Trolls making elephant sounds are awesome 😂

[@markushuber214]

Imagine how cool it would be to reconstruct the city of Dale

[@arthurie17]

Aren’t the dawnless days team working on a third age campaign with actual middle earth map?

[@brendanfeely7390]

Yes

[@grimgrauman7650]

Did the elven player went AFK ? If the elves did not stoped fighting they had a chance

[@Coigreach]

The five armies were the men of Lake Town, the elves of the Woodland Realm, the Dwarves of Iron Hills, the orcs of Misty Mountains and the orcs of the Grey Mountains. So there were two different armies of orcs. Beorn and the great eagles were not counted as armies. Nor were Thorin and the other 12 dwarves.

[@AegonTheUnlikely]

Those Olog Hai Trolls are WAAAAY too OP. Almost ruined the battle as cool as it was, like, not a single one died for 30 minutes of sustained fighting even against pikes. They seem basically invincible to anything except missile units which I think is a little over the top. Those things could use some serious nerfing because it created a wild balance issue in an already unbalanced scenario battle.

[@WuCaoXin]

5 armies: Dwarves, Elves, Humans, Orcs, and Goblins.

[@Envy_storm242]

Hello! Xnvy here, played mordor and it was awesome to see this replay be a vid. Submods for this were. The last breath, Flames of the North and Expanded Elves.

[@Potato-fy8xu]

Awesome to see you back on LOTR

[@mdstmouse7]

finally an interesting siege. I also love this scenario! i am hoping for something similar for pelennor and helms deep

[@bufustern]

The trolls are kinda op in DaC as well. need ballistas or catapults against that ideally. But I think that is fine if they just make them insanely expensive and maybe less trolls per unit.

[@trickcarisusa]

Dwarves army is my favorite in this game especially their armor and war machines!

[@King-mc1pt]

Ah before the end of the year We would not miss the recreate of LOTR battles

Trolls are OP,too OP. Guy who played as an Elf was AFK obviously. Glorious battle!

[@davidkunakovsky3155]

The issue of this battle was that there was no fifth army. Then goodies would have won.

[@ravnen25]

Great battle but kinda blew the lore that the trolls were by far the strongest unit on the field and they had so many of them..

[@AegonTheUnlikely]

Yeah, it kind of blew a bit of the fun, suspense, strategy, and balance of the battle. Wayyyy too many and wayyy too OP. They should not 100% invincible to everything but arrows - after a while of fighting massed infantry they should slowly die at the least. That unit is broken and/or there needs to be a cap on them.

[@ravnen25]

@@AegonTheUnlikely kinda like elephants in some of the lotr game Ive played. Douse them with fire arrows and they panic and die..

[@danielshepherd1934]

The voices!!! 😂😂😂 You should voice act no joke!

No point in watching that you know from the beginning who's gonna win...

[@broccoli2452]

Amazing video dear Apollo (yes I made it rhyme on purpose)

[@anthonysantos3629]

Thunk it would be cool if it was possible to have like 20 players where each player controls either a single unit or a very small group of units. Make each section of battle truly its own personal struggle. Probably not possible. I know fuckall about computers or video games, just love watching these and think it would be pretty sweet lol. Keep it up Apollo, you are one of the best channels on KZbin for real

[@agrippa2012]

the closest thing to what you described is the "sub-commanders" mod.

[@Stelios-]

Finally a good vs evil siege battle! :D Ty Apollo!

[@joshualilleker4005]

Ngl the voice acting was unreal

I seen you're whole gondor camping when it was new I love you doing thrird age or anything like it keep it up apollo

[@MTubin]

Does somebody know what the background music is between 32:30 and 33:00?

[@RAMSHEADUK]

Pikemen not attacking the trolls was a bit messed up. Needs tweaking as 10 trolls take out the whole dwarven army which isn't realistic.

[@spacegoat8889]

Couldnt ask for a better video on sunday!

about the warhaven SO i agree once you get far enough it gets harder to get away with just mouse click, i as a smoke main have to learn to jump around and when to use my push back in order to live spite me not fighting haha

jesus christ those trolls were fuckin strong lmao

[@WiseOakDakota]

I’m close to upgrading from console to PC, and large scale battle simulation (especially LOTR based or modded) is high on my list. I’ve been checking out as much gameplay as I can find but interested in some opinions: what’s the best available game for it?

Dope. LOTR is always dope. Thx PA.

I like how your eld voice acting is basically just high pitched gay man voice. 🤣

[@tylerblazejewski6925]

Do you know if the modders will ever add the sounds that replace men to orcs and such?

[@TheDawnlessDays]

Yes, we will. It's just a difficult task if we don't have a special tool that is being developed.

[@Bozinian]

The thumbnail is epic

[@No1_Inpa_Ticular]

Lol why do the Elves sound like Nick Swardson

[@markushuber214]

What a wonderfull city they created but the bridges are far too wide in my opinion :)

[@knightofsvea604]

Man I dont know, bring me back the M2TW unit animations Not this one on one bullshit. Why would an orc/Elf just aimlessly fight right thru battlelines attacking one target only? Noone around giving a shit? Just like "oh i guess theyre doing there thing, im just gonna stand here" Its just so weird.

[@bobbywonder4574]

very interesting war, and the voice over makes it realistic
