Thanks for watching ❤️ would appreciate it a lot, if you also check out my twitch channel www.twitch.tv/beyondstandards

Even though random armies may be a little easier I think it would be more interesting.

play rohan vs 4 mordor and 3 isengard's on rhun... yea it's easy but i find that the hardest vs bot's

[@bronisawkebab4439]

Shank's wife: What do You like the most? Shanks: a) Your eyes b) Your voice c) Your personality d) Definitely Half-troll swordsmen, they are very cost efficient, tanky and super powerful. They cost 400 resources like uruk-hai, but I think they are much stronger, especially when they reach lvl 2. Imagine a new player who has some cavalry units and wants to run them down. THEY CANNOT GET TRUMPLED, which is HUGE!!! And the most important, they look so cool, holy guacamole.

[@arkuna7748]

It's actually harder to play vs 4-5 hard armys on a map for 8 players, because 2-3 of your opponets will expand very soon which means more ressources and combat points for them.

Man, this game is a masterpiece, i still have it also on my computer, and I love to watch every man of culture like me that plays this XD You have my subscription Frodo emm i mean Beyond XD

[@legomaster9190]

This was a good throw-back! Usually when watching BFME content, the videos tend to focus on the sequel or the expansion. I don't blame them though, but this was absolutely great. Remember playing this a lot, and I mean, a lot...

[@qforlong]

This was super entertaining. Not gonna lie though, I'm looking forward to the evil faction challenge!

[@todalio9238]

[@lolseee]

Watching this video in 2023. Shanks, youre the first thing i saw pop up. This was soooo great! Ive always been stuck in Medium level, but thanks to this video, i think i can play with some new options in Hard. Thanks for keeping these videos up! My friend, you bow to no one ❤❤️❤️

[@MegaRancore]

i have done me gondor vrs 7 rohan on brutal (think about all those op heros and ents) but i feel the real challenge is using an evil team to do this. Any team with walls is to easy all u have to do is survive until u get all the powers then summon them on the enemies base when undead army breaks gate open then summon horse power, elf power, and eagle power with blinding light power and the base should be dead you dont even need any units to attack just defend. with gondor your marketplace and the building that lets u have better walls gates and towers is very important for every base. I also dont bother with horsemen in these games

[@josephpagee3977]

“The towers are hitting like a truck, as we know” Was really surprised to find new content for an old and often overlooked game. Great job, you earned a sub!

[@ozan628]

Gondor too easy. Waiting for isengard vs 7 hard rohan it is real challenge

[@richardpatnaude2484]

I love seeing your games, Shanks.

[@tylermcdonnell7427]

You seem like a gamer. I hope we can all be gamers like Shanks one day, so talented...

[@MikeHesk742]

Loved this, reminded me of how I always used to play this as a kid camping as Gondor with the gates closed. Except the 7 AI would tear me apart eventually

Man im glad this video came to my recommended. Sure brought back some memories.

[@michaelaldrich159]

14:27 "Boromir. In my office. now."

[@fabf77]

I haven't played this game for a long time, my 1 vs 7 hard games using Gondor always start with a fountain and statue at the door, in the middle of the shooting range and barracks, at the back 5 smithies. Playing defensively with heroes and groups of archers plus swordsmen. When by the time I have a self-defending base and my improved troops I go on the offensive, destroying and conquering. Tip: mery and pippim throw rocks with great speed if you keep giving them the order to attack on the target, but you must hit the right click pattern, if you do it right they look like mini Legolas throwing stones.

[@Tosnoob]

No idea why KZbin is suddenly recommending this to me. But I'm all over it. Download links to the game as well? You sir, are a credit to the site.

Oh I used to play the same match ups 1 vs 7 in hard. I remember doing some archers mixed with swordsman and then opening the door to farm XP until I can buy them the upgrades heh. Piping was a godsend, the rock oneshoots enemy's in lvl 10 I miss this game so much

[@arwenn771]

can't wait to play this game again !! Old memories about epic helms deep battle !!

[@Rus.patriot007]

You was lucky, there is no Rohan instead of some of Gondor armies. War against the Ents under the command of Aragorn is a mess.

[@dmitrizverev3142]

Very impressive stuff! I learned a lot from this video, thank you so much. It's a pleasure watching you, and your commentary is really cool! Nice work, man!

[@DavidDuchodca]

the best strategy is to farm for Gandalf Asap. Lvl him to lvl10 and then you are good to go. Basically steamrolling all one by one. No need for boromir. Pipin fara /archers + towers for deffense. Building cavalry and go.

[@leightontaylor2979]

Wise man. Not risking all your biscuits and such.

[@Hennadii_S]

Real challenge is to win 1x1 VS strongest computer in BFME 2 ROTWK 8.4. Or i don't know, maybe my version of game is broken, because strongest computer have infinite money, build non stop at same time army, building, BUILDERS and even more buildings.... Have no idea how to win. In previous version (3.6.0 or smthn) I haven't such problems, and was able from time to time win strongest computer (difficulty of computer named "killer" in russian version).

[@theflow3513]

You really play extremely well! Thanks for your Videos! I would still like to see you in BFME2 ROTWK V9. Because the AI seems a bit broken to me here, the enemies should have been upgraded to the midgame already. Also, they coordinate attacks little, built much more siege (and shoot on towers before going into the base with them when gate is open). The ROWTK V9 AI seems to me to be a lot better, also that the powers are used. Also, AI base defense is built very little. Hope to see ROTWK V9 matches from you. Would be a pleasure!

[@OsamaBinLooney]

man i miss this game and BFME 2 - well done have you ever played "Lords of the Realm II" or "Castles II: Siege and Conquest?" some other medieval games from the close to the same era, but a bit earlier

[@hartesgeld]

I tried the same with Rohan instead of Gondor and only Isengard and Mordor as enemies. I don't know anymore if I succeeded with 7 AI opponents, but i definitley did with 5 after several tries. My strategy was to defend with two Bow Bataillons and 3 towers until i got access to legolas. Afterwards it was all about leveling legolas up (and add aragorn later on to kill the enemies siege) and about leveling up the elves which was the onliest unit type i bulit after leveling up my archery range. A single lvl 10 elves bataillon should be able to defend a base by its own. They can order some help from outside the map if needed. If a specific base is raided frequently it could make sense to simply add some more heroes at that base. Once your main base is stableized you start to invade the enemy bases. My attacking strat was: Sending legolas + 1-2 lvl 10 elves to the enemies base, then call the dead army and the ents and finish the base in about one minute. Afterwards you should build up the base completley, add an elves squad for defense and head to the next base.

[@stephenmullenmarketing]

Can't wait for BFME Reforged

[@kolpere1625]

Lol i still remember the 3 mordor vs 1 gondor and the only way to beat them was basically letting them spawn free orcs until max pop and then, they cant recruit catapults lol.

Hello, Stumbled on your channel just like that. While I like it It would be nice to have some more commentator 1v1 matches. Maybe between casuals/noobs ? Its a really good way to also teach the game to anyone watching as well as getting some funny play. Also it took me like 10 minutes to find dwarven gameplaye :D more dwarves please. Otherwise I like your commentary and ethusiasm for the game. Thank you for the entertaiment.
