DaC V5 - Remnants of Angmar 1: The Iron Crown 

I will be trying to get them where I can, free upkeep monsters.

Sometimes... I don't know

It is going to be a challenge. So many high tier factions that all get a buff for me being the player. Going to be rough, I think a mix of turtle and attacking certain areas.

Appreciate it mate. Glad I can give you something to look forward to 😀

Could go either way, we might betray them at any rate if they do take the rings, not immediately though, I'm not mad.

Seeing the ND actually pump out troops and fight is so rare, it is a little alternate universe.

Appreciate it mate. There is going to be many more, "Why aren't they breaking?" moments I think.

I can speak for myself alone, but i did have many of those moments. so many of your units just get out classed 1v1 against the surrounding factions. dwarves are a cake walk compared to the high elves and dunedain from my experience. They dont have cavalry to counter your own. Cant wait to see you show us how its done. I could be completely wrong, but i feel that the rhudar pikes underperform for their stats, and one of my biggest gripes with angmar is that the teir 2 rhudar barracks line feels completely unnecessary. I completely ignored getting the t2 barracks in favor of the main line angmar barracks. Show us how it's done!!

@@stevenjohnson9077 Agreed on the Dwarfs points, cav always can out flank them. I think the idea with the barracks is so you have a bunch of numbers to throw at them but as the player you don't have the luxury of that much money early like the AI does.

Tricksy elves kept running away. I'd happily have aragorn join our cause, undead aragorn that is.

@@epmtotalwar also, I have never played this campaign but I was curious, are the Rhudar troops and barracks locked to the same areas as the Rangers or are they universal?

@@zachbova9935 Good question. I would think the warg camps are available everywhere otherwise you'd be desperately short on cav. Maybe the Rhudaur lads are limited, I guess we'll discover it together.

@@epmtotalwar of I remember my northern kingdom correctly rhudar land is above imladris, to carn dum, and down to fennis drunain and MAYBE weathertop? I remember their was only 1 ranger settlement that allowed all 3 region troops to be trained there. so you western most settlements shouldn't have the barracks if it is region locked

Elrond is beatable, just need some space to manoeuvre. If he has a half stack that could be a problem though.

Yeah, just takes some time to get requirements to recruit.

@@epmtotalwar Trolls are a blessing they hit like a truck no matter if it's AI or player controlled also Gundabad is a spot where you can recruit them Carn Dum strangely isn't though.

@@peterhe6699 my latest campaign as Isengard saw me fighting lots of random generals without armies (a big Dale family I had to prune), and one troll unit could wipe out an entire bodyguard unit before the enemy could get in a single kill. They really can just flatten the toughest units, provided you don't let javelins or artillery hit them.

Ettenmoors which is south of Mt Gram is the other location.
