Divide and Conquer v5 Dol Amroth Overview 

amroth's strongest and heaviest cav has enough umpf to actually charge a pike unit from the front and emerge out on the other side

I've always thought that Dol Amroth, Gondor, and the Northern Dunedain should share a militia tier spear and archer unit. To free up unit slots. Remember when the ND had local guard and archer(I think they have been removed since) but that was 6 unit slots for basically 2 units with different skins. Each factions then had their own 3rd militia tier unit Gondor- Sword and shield Dol Amroth- pikes ND- Mace and shield to differentiate the factions a bit. I also would love to see Nimrodel Mariners be an elite archer similar to the steelbowmen but only available at major ports. And give Dol Amroth Gondor Archers when you replace the Seaward units with Gondor mainline units. Doing that would create 4-6 more unit slots.

My Dol Amroth campaign is breaking my soul! I have been fighting the Harad all game long on a Ring campaign - VH Battle and H campaign. I swear, no matter how many large armies I destroy or cities I conquer, they spawn in a fresh stack the next turn. Such a shame. They still have about 6 or seven regions left but it is really grating on the experience. I am new to this mod and despite my woes - hands down the best mod for Med2. And I came from Tsardoms which is something else.

Gosh I wish we saw Dol Amorth in the movies. I would pay real money to see Weta Workshop make that Talon Knight armor holy coooowww

Lord of the Rings Online does Dol Amroth really really well. Some of their soundtrack is used for the campaign map music in DAC

2:23 I think it could have been an amazing scene in the films to make Denethor more of a three dimensional character to include a scene of Gondorian fief armies arriving and we get to see the token forces the Gondorian fiefs can spare do to having to protect their own lands from the corsairs. You would be able to see Denethor thinking that not only Rohan had abandoned him but his fiefs as well. This could go far into showing how he actually went totally mad as opposed to how horribly the film handled his character.

Lord of the Rings Online has a pretty big story section focusing on Dol Amroth/Western Gondor.

Love your work ❤

Fantastic roster!

Oh, you missed one big change. Edhellond is now part of your domain rather than rebel province.

In the Crusader kings 3 mod for LoTR Dol Amroth is also playable.

They get trebuchet's too!

i would like to see a rhun overview video

Can i repair Gobel Tolfalas outer walls at some point?

Can you do a step-by-step install mod for simpletons like myself

I assume the requirement for mod leaders is to worship Knights of the Silver Swan?

Looks like a wealthy faction, with some breathing room and choices in where to go.

No more sea raids?

The best and easiest faction for campaign!!!... In v5, Swan knight unit is so insanely powerful and abundant across the map... The trick is to use ships blocking and preventing enemy troops landing on Gobel Tofalas, AI wont know what to do, and there you can just focus on buidling economy... For v4.5, you have to betray Gondor and take all the settlements west of Carasast. To make it easier, you can blackmail Gondor each turn, to obtain peace for 4,000-5,000 gold (building another diplomat to get 1 extra payment).... After turn 50, you become unstoppable in both versions.

Khand is really the bane of my dol amroth campaign. They're just so strong at early game with their cavalry archer and regular cavalry, always wish they joined the free people at their choice

Anybody have an ETA on the full release?

two visual opinions: Not the biggest fan of the Knights of Edhellond's helmets. the closed mouth bit looks kind of goofy imo And id love for one of the heavy cavalry units to have a classic knight look with a fully enclosed helm/great helm to really punch home that chivalry look. Maybe the Tirith Aer because of their really heavy role.

What are the benefits of slingers over archers? Is there any mechanical difference or just a unique Animation?

Whats the idea behind making cavalry bodyguard unit sizes so low? In vanilla bodyguards are smaller but have 2 hit points

Rohan next?

That lotr mobile game was so bad, they don't want goblins to be another faction lol

The Portugal of Divide and Conquer. Portamrothugal, if you will.

Em fiefdom units? Dol Amroth campaign start got a lot better since corsair invasions were removed but still... 2 Cities to 3 strongholds is not ideal, and bunch of 5 loyalty starting generals (meaning they either you have to keep giving them pet guard dogs from castles to bump them to 6 loyalty and then give it to their descendants as their inherit loyalty values from parents or just have them as forever generals) + abysmal acumen across board = Yikes!. Similar to Eriador - Harondor (or whatever the area in south is called) is quite open but here you have cavalry faction to deal with. Not a fan of their roster - it seems like post-macedonian hellenistic armies that took wrong lessons from history. While Pikes/Halberds are ok, most of heavy infantry is too pricey, below average range options (Nimrodels being outlier to be just an ok option that falls off later in game due to armor, but can work as line infantry) and your heavy cavalry packs punch but lack mobility in affordable options. It works ok against Ar-Ardunaim, becomes tricky against Harad and is painful against Khand. They do murder Mordor perfectly. From what I remember on stacking their bodyguard sizes, player can reliably gather enough +Personal Security to bump BG from 14 to 21 models on non-faction leader/heir. It is substantial difference as it increases maximum width from 7 to 10 models and prolongs unit usability (because at 14 models once you take 4 losses you are no longer packing much of a punch at once).
