The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth (EVIL CAMPAIGN, FULL)

[@Berathan-dnd]

This is nostalgic. I remember playing this game and the sequel a lot.

[@Midala87]

I had to pirate the second game but had bought the first one and was so hyped up over how smart and dynamic the AI is. I was told you could shoot the Mûmakil and they will rampage and go berserk. I never could make them do that and they just ending up dying anyways to arrows.

[@PeterParkerspideypicscom]

How the hell did you get it to run

[@ambiguousamphibianvods]

There’s a patch that runs it on Windows 10 - still working on getting it running on 11. Works with the sequel too!

[@ambiguousamphibianvods]

Although lately to run more of these old games I’ve set up an old Windows XP machine with a capture card because some of them are really stubborn. There’s surprisingly a number of eBay sellers who deal in tricked out XP machines with modern architecture

Sauron shares no secrets of optimizing his rings.

[@henrysonlychannel1303]

@@ambiguousamphibianvods lol that's fucking great

[@pimvandenbos2261]

Check out all in one BFME launcher here on youtube! It's a single launche for all 3 of these games (including Rise of the witch king). All updated textures, new heroes in campaign, patches. Would recommend!

[@aidansayshi123456789]

Ah, a new horde of orcs

[@BelicoseBunny]

and what, gul'dan must we give in return?

[@Nichelheim]

AA !!! Haven’t seen the whole video yet, but at 1:20:55 you’re looking for an attack-move function. Just hit “A” before you issue your move command!!

[@Defixio.]

The seige mechanics in this are amazing

[@ClanWiE]

The adjectival form "Rohirric" is common; Tolkien once also used "Rohanese". From wikipedia

[@FreeSamich]

Or they might say Eorling lands as well. Tolkien certainly enjoyed leaving a variety of options to describe each peoples lol

[@brennanharrup522]

An amazing game that I loved playing growing up! A quick tip before you start the 2nd game: I believe you can make numbered squads (select a group, press ctrl-1 through ctrl-9) and select them later with the number. Double tapping that number should center your screen on the squad as well.

[@SWEanjela123]

The thing about enmassing trolls is they knock each other down when they are about to die but otherwise fun.

[@velarswood]

I also would like to think this entire campain is played out between frodo and Galadrial when he offers her the ring and she goes full dark Mistress.

[@brennanharrup522]

Criminally underrated LOTR game: Sierra’s 2003 The Hobbit

[@sourmonkey71]

When I was a kid, I thought the pikemen were on the walls because they could stab people from up there. Made sense at the time.

[@majorpwner241]

...This game looks insanely good for 2004. Still very playable. Aged like fine wine.

[@kalajel]

You can't level up Christopher Lee, he's already anime protagonist level.

[@wasted828]

ive tried finding a PC port of bfme2 for YEARS before giving up, could never get them to work. super nostalgic game for me, honestly i think it and halo wars were the only reason i ended up getting into computers later down the road.

[@HeraldSchimdtt]

Oh my god youve unlocked deep memories, thank you so much for this, i loved this game so much cant believe i forgot about it

[@Necrospire]

Amazing! Purely astonishing gameplay!

[@alwaysneutral2100]

I want to play this game again so very badly. This game on 360 (or was it the sequel?) spawned my love for RTS games.

[@bjon92]

Love the Vods def would have helped knowing Q selected all units :D

[@TealWolf26]

*GASP* The GOAT! I love BFME1.

[@velarswood]

The only game I liked more was star wars empire at War n its forces of corruption dlc. Or "expansion pack" if you're old like me, lol

[@philippmarx8362]

Uh a shame that IT isnt on gog, Lord of the Rings licence

[@ambiguousamphibianvods]

Tell me about it! I’d love a GOG release too

[@philippmarx8362]

@@ambiguousamphibianvods the licence stuff is for lord of the rings games is hard to the understand, i See nö chance sadly for a remake

[@SorcererOfDnipro]

this game was my jam when i was 15. there is a crazy mod that allow you do play with Balrog, Nazgul and its ramps the unit capacity.

[@Kaff_Kesk]

played this as a kid. Fried my dad's PC downloading "trainers" from sketchy websites.

[@odditiescollector4540]

how did you get the campaigns to work as i downloaded and managed to get the game to work via abandonware but i couldnt get the campaigns to work

[@Aman1996kaa]

Lord of the rings conquest is a fantastic game give it a go

[@DKArmstrong]

I'v been replaying C&C3, it's in the same engine and these games do feel really good.

[@SanguineGamer]

Not sure if you ever saw my message on the last video but Q selects all and A is attack move :3

[@christopherbricker3805]

Yes, Indeed

[@fabiofsk8223]

Im honestly surprised I didn't know about this game

[@carlosgalaron7878]

trolling all the way to Minas Tirith lol

[@PyonGGamer]

The Lord of the Rings were amazing! you should play War in the Nord

[@Raynar124]

Battle for middle earth 2 was the good one

[@krishurlburt7375]

No

[@velarswood]

I just remember getting frustrated thst my army wiuld get killed by 10 horsemen so i would just spam spears and some archers. The goblins were so bad lol. I think thatbwas the second game. I was like 14 and still remember some battles

[@SomeDudeItWas]

How can I play this game now? Its not listed anywhere I can find

[@justinbutler117]

This game is excellent

[@cz8876]

Personally I recall LOTR: BFME II being the superior version! But that might be nostalgia speaking- I never played much of this one, just the second one.

[@98loud]

Sir you are simply incorrect for not mentioning the LoR Battlefront clone that I can't currently remember the name lf

[@VelesTruck]

Conquest?

[@ambiguousamphibianvods]

Indeed

[@elWhiteNinja1]

is there no attack move in this game? I don't remember

[@denysbeker-te1en]

Yes!!!!

[@justinbutler117]

1:28 yes there is, you can shut it and put archers on the walls. Rookie mistake

[@justinbutler117]

8:28 could shut the gate and funnel them to the other opening. I thought you'd have better strategy

[@justinbutler117]

7:12 nah, either faction can be stepped on

[@justinbutler117]

Then there was battle for Middle Earth 2. Which is on console but not on the game stores 0:25

[@justinbutler117]

11:21 wizard is blasting you away, what more do you want from a name

[@justinbutler117]

14:44 no it isn't

[@justinbutler117]

4:57 only against swordsmen. Horses or mounted will desomate them

[@justinbutler117]

4:46 double production with a second building. Second rookie mistake

[@justinbutler117]

12:19 at this point the eye doesn't know where they are so why would the generals

[@justinbutler117]

14:28 yeah, they didnt knock him over when the ents fall they have an area of effect. Stop lying

[@conaghero]

This guy has the easiest setup for the game and all the mods in an all in one launcher! Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqWspJqOeq2cpKcsi=uI8mmaQCceLwB_Tr
