Ah, I loved the part in the book when Samwise Gamgee was elevated to the position of Right-hand man of the Fellowship leader and became responsible for leading the 2nd Hobbit Platoon
Man what a throwback. Started playing TATW in this mod years ago, never played this campaign though. Nice to see it played today. Thanks for posting Izzy!
I'm happy to see someone else likes the Fellowship Campaign - I always thought it was really funny to have the fellowship include dozens of bodyguards, plus a hundred random elves when respawning a general. A remastered version in DaC would be great - they clearly took inspiration from this campaign when designing the Khazad-Dum campaign.
Wow this takes me waaaaaay back! And the music in this mod is so nostalgic, I'm getting all sorts of flashbacks and feels on this one! Good shout on the new series Izzy!
Happy to see a fellowship campaign from you Izzy. A good ole' fashioned adventure, goal: Throw magical jewelry in a volcano in order to stop a corrupted demigod, lets go! Also, a little suggestion: Ya might wanna keep a garrison of light mercs in hobbiton, keeps the income, and you won't have to worry about people auctioning your valuables like Bilbo did.
@@IzzyTotalWar Hopefully it will discourage Saruman as well... I'm lying to myself, I really wish this campaign was more based on the books and had alternate paths, we will have to see.
Ah, my favorite scene in the movie where the fellowship along with hundreds of Eldar archers and other warriors fought against the mighty Balrog of Morgoth. All 16 of them XD Also seeing that giant Balrog holding a little torch is just wonderful haha
amazing content, just started playing AGO.. I remember battle for middle earth 1 game, had the storyline.. What a masterpiece, and you're doing an excellent job Izzy!
Dude, the fact that you’re willing to put up with RU-vid copyright bullshit for the sake of our entertainment deserves a like in itself. Thanks, Izzy. I wish you good fortune in the wars to come.
Man, it's so nice to see this campaign again! Also if you accept a general they'll spawn in Hobbiton, not within your army. Plus It would give you a better chance of defending against Saruman at the end of the Campaign.
@@IzzyTotalWar Difficulty. I remember having the occasional crash but yeah that time it was difficulty. I wasn't very good at the game back then. Probably still not!
@@IzzyTotalWar Now this is a psychology trick! Everyone already thinks that it will be a lovely video. But after they read my comment, they will be completely hooked.
Just to restore some justice, DaC still had half a decade to grow, the real submods that were popular for TATW ver 3.1 & 3.2 were Baron Samedi's and Massive Overhaul Submod (MOS). - Adûnâi
I would enjoy more throwback third age total war because it had ridiculous but fun stuff like the dragonslayer unit for Dale that have greatbows and buster swords. XD
I have an idea - just as Gandalf became the White, so too should Merry and Pippin have grown into generals (considering they got quite a lot of inches in height (and girth) after drinking Ent beer). Having them as spies is a crime. - Adûnâi
So great you are doing this campaign videos! :D I tried this mode years ago and had a bug with the archers that go with legolas, gandalf, aragorn... they were always underground and unable to move after delpoiment :( do you know how to solve it? BTW, how are you able to save the game? In the mod's page they say its not save-game compatible...
I've actually never heard from that campaign. But I'm very excited to watch this thing unfold. Just think about Izzy screwing something up and the Nazgul catch Frodo in the Shire... End of story😂
Hey Izzy i would really like you to play as some dwarf faction again, looking at your playlists it has been quite a while since you did it last time. regardless, i am still looking forward to watching this one as well, because i havent played the original third age at all
Thank you 27! It has indeed been a while since my last dwarf campaign (Ered Luin, well over a year I think!) - so I'm hoping we can get some dwarves of Erebor very soon! :)
Amazing. Did you play the previous versions of TATW, before 3.2 as well? I remember playing the very first version and crashing about 10 times in 5 hours of campaign... Man those were the days.
hey izzy -do you know who was the guy 'saying at the start of his TW-TATW clips saying :'mae govannen melloninas'' ? - Iforgot his nick.. but -seems like he using sindarin name ..?
I loved playing this, actually had some challenge and felt close to the lore within Medieval II: Total War, I will say I could never get to the script to destroy the Ring, so either im bad or the game is bugged. If he beats it im copying his entire campaign!
I hire some mercs here and there... does the game tell you not to? I honestly can't remember! Either way, the campaign will not be lacking in challenge ;)
