Don't forget about Siakan south of Sturlurtsa.....it's the one I always forget about and takes forever to get to

[@CptTotalWaffle]

HOW could I forget? Haha - it's the most profitable corner of the map!

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.

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 :)

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? Whilst I do not watch your Rhun campaign, I think others who do would find a playlist helpful.

Durar will stand as a beacon of light in the dark land

Are Ithilien Rangers recruitable in Haudhanur with the archery range?

[@CptTotalWaffle]

I think they go as far south as Ostithil but no further

[@evilschemer4666]

Well, it's the South Ithilien Province, they have been recruitable there since the beginning of DaC, I think.
