Divide and Conquer v5 Anduin Overview 

Awesome that your continuing on the faction overviews!

Just killed King Mazog with 271 Stoor slingers. What a shameful death. Still had like 40/50 shots left.

Good to see you taking over from Galu. Keep it up

looking forward to the upcoming overviews, I enjoyed Galu's and I'm happy you're going to the ones in the version. Regrading the guilds, are there certain requirements that must be met before each tier becomes available?

For the first time I'm actually excited to play the wildmen factions.... As far as the video goes I would suggest maybe turning the background music a bit as it's not quite "background" enough, hard to understand while you're speaking lol

I think it's really nice to hear you're doing volunteering work, I've wanted to do the same. Much respect!

The beorning units should be stronger imo. It doesn’t make sense to me that they’re basically the same stats as normal wild men/middle men. Reduce the unit size if need be, they probably shouldn’t be as numerous anyway, but definitely stronger.

Great overview.

Having a smoke break before a big battle outside goblin town, going to use those javelins an grimborn to wipe out their trolls

Music a bit too loud. But fantastic video

My man, Rohan soon! Perhaps include some talking points if there are any, about future plans for Rohan, if any. They are my favorite faction thematically in all of Arda.

Looking forward to these. Maybe turn that in game music volume down a bit though haha

The faction's description fits them perfectly: a well rounded faction, a classic jack of all trades master of none faction. They don't excel in any particular field, don't really have elite units but they have strong enough units in every branch(infantry, archery and cavalry) though lacking in specialist units like polearms/pikemen, crossbows/armor piercing bows, etc. You say their start is hard but I find it to be actually quite easy, precisely because you're so close to your 3 main enemies that you get to rush them quickly before they get a chance to expand and become monstrous. Rushing Goblin Town is indeed a great move. to get them out of your way quickly and since it will also significantly hurt their power it will make it easier for the High Elves and Dwarves to finish them off. I actually disagree with you that Gundabad is your most dangerous foe, as Dol Guldur typically grows much larger than Gundabad, especially with you playing the Anduin Vale which completely cuckolds their usual expansion. Though I do agree with you that their initial army is menacing and needs to be dealt with ASAP. When it comes to Dol Guldur, again you're limiting some of their usual expansion options but unlike Gundabad they have plenty of other places to expand into so they will still be able to spam their crap at you until you put them down. Don't get me wrong, your initial strategy is sound: rushing Goblin Town than crush the initial Gundabad army and take Eorlstone than probably use that army to go for Wrakyaburg and Dain's Halls rather than going for Gundabad because their revenge stack will be too powerful for your initial army. Than that army can go south towards Dol Guldur, though rather than rushing Dol Guldur itself I'll probably take their smaller towns first as again their revenge army is not to be underestimated, though a bit(but not by much) weaker than Gundabad's. Once you've done that the campaign is basically won as all that's left is expanding your province count. Which typically, as you said, takes you eastwards through the Mirkwood Forest towards Rhovanion. Though if you really want to you can go from Gundabad to take out Angmar and the Goblins if the Elves/Dwarves failed to finish them off by this point, though this route is obviously much harder. Another option is to betray(if you previously allied) the Elves as all 3 of the Elven factions have territory around you and none of them are particularly strong in the early and mid game. Though personally I like staying as a 'good' faction as the Anduin Vale so I don't tend to fight the Elves, unless for some reason they decide to declare war on me, than all bets are off.

Best faction in the game hands-down everyone's roster should be as complete as anduin

I love Anduin Vale! Their troops may not that heavily armored, but they have strong attack and good morale. They are veru good for ambushing, which you should utilize more often. The army rooster is versatile which you can respond to any situation. And you have the general bodyguards which can kill almost any general, just avoid them being shot by arrows. Overall, Anduin is fun to play. Just make use of their specialty- AMBUSH!

You do intend to do all of them eventually?

Hi, nice video! Recentely Iv played dac 5v with dunedain until 47 turn and never got offered any guilds, like in 4.5 it was always some ranger guild or horse guild offered. Is that some bug r did they removed guilds in v5 ?

Faction overviews!!!!

I noticed recent versions do not have intro videos for each faction. Does anyone know how to restore it?

Im new to this mod so we can only go one route with each type of barracks ?

So, the US doesn't have orphans that need help?

So you cant get a melee bonus playing as the Anduin?

"Knock up the enemy" Giggity

Is it just me or is forming alliances a lot more difficult in this version

Thank you!!!! Much better than the other channel I saw doing them!!!

Augimund talks about the rarity of HA generals and completely forgets Khand

Hi guys, I downloaded v5 and i noticed that some faction stacks stay idle... So i went back to v4,6 can someone tell me if that is fixed now so i can download v5?

when will version 5 be available in moddb i would like to know cant wait to play v5

Playing the anduin is a very frustrating experience for me

:)

As much as I loved Galu's FO, he didn't know what he was talking about half of the time. Augimund is simply better player and knows how to share his deep knowledge of the game.

dude you gotta put total war in the video title tag that shit right
