The Siege of Erebor | Making it Canon in Age of the Ring 

34:16 Chaotic battle! Ruud is panicking! Dwalin says "Very good this." Ruud goes "Any more?"

Sweet this will be great to have in the background during the return to yharnam event for bloodborne. I know I'm a little late but, I would also like to thank you for making videos again. They always make the grayness of my day a couple of shades brighter.

Alternate title: "RuudDevil shoots himself in the feet and yells like a Dwarf while doing it."

Well, can't say there is ever a time when there are too many towers Honestly, with the money you had at the end you should've just spammed *even more*

Men of the West is really good.

They shall fear the sight of our beards!

Ross, seriously, you make even AotR Erebor faction watchable. Your personality spreads the fun to everything. Continuously.

Men of the West, next to YOU Ruudevil, is who I trust with learning Tolkien lore.

"we cannot fail because WE WEAR MIRHTRIL MAIL!" here is an example of ruud trying to curb stomp his sub count.

"Dwarves! This is your last chance! DEFEND EREBOR OR DIE!!!!"

Ik will follow you my lord, to whatever end

You're so cruel, seen this in my feed and got so dam excited, then I was met with THIS?!? lol can't wait

You hear that lads? We're on!

Only watch Men of the West somewhat regularly. His narration and style is the best for me. Idk, some lore channels feels like presenting fictional lore whereas MotW could be almost in universe narration. It has best atmosphere and presents the spirit of the work well. Starting with quotes is also great. It is worth if only for all that great and obscure fan art he digs up.

I love watching these because I never have been able to buy a hard copy, I haven’t found one nearby under $60. Please keep delivering such wonderful gameplay, each one is amazing and I’m slowly going through the older videos too!

I love the lore RU-vidrs for Middle Earth. Its fun the watch and listen to. Especially since I’m a writer and a DM for a D&D group. It’s quite helpful

Love these types of videos!

The best lore channel on RU-vid for LOTR is Arachir Galudirithon

I like the 'what if' stories written by Joisten. He tells them very compelling!

i like how Bofur has no abilities but still he is a playable hero :D

Yooo you're back. Nice!

33:47 That was brilliant

This Mission was always epic and cool, but now with the beautiful and awesome AotR Models is makes it 1000000 times cooler and better...I am just in love with the Models of those Erebor Dwarves and even more King Dain and Prince Thorin III Stonehelm!!! P.S. My only regret is that I was at work and couldn't watch it live :/ And that I haven't discovered this Arkenstone piece of jewel that is your channel lad 😁😁😁😁

That yeet gloin at the end scared me a bit

love that Elendil esque move by Stonehelm

To The King!

I learned one thing from this. When in doubt Make towers

Nerd of the Rings is the new one that u'r talkin about. He is doing some pretty good stuff. Cool lists and war strategy videos and histories...

For lore channels you can try Arachir Galudirthon, he is also the lead developer on the divide and conquer sub mod for third age total war

Love this!

I love men of the West, he’s answered so many questions I have😂😂

GeekZone is another very good lore youtuber!

Wait a minute...your back?!?! Since when!!!!!!! Yooooooooooooooooooo.....missed your vids so much!!!!!

Best stream ever 11/10

Wow you totally didnt screw that over 😂😂😂😂 man I love how goofy this channel can be

Build that wall! And make Sauron pay for it.

Elevator music begins

Greatness

cant wait

Epic.

I like the guy who does men of the West videos he is the best u are right dude

I really like In Deep Geek for LOTR lore videos! He has a great voice for speaking :)

you should play the defense of dol goldur for normal bfme. its kinda hard so would be funny to see you try

Is this map on Skirmish?

Hey Ruud, with all these mods and add-ons, is there any chance you could do a showcase of each factions units, heroes, powers and all?

I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH RUUD! Any chance you'll get back to that Shadow of War playthrough you teased?

Men of the West is pretty great!

i cant wait for mirkwood

How u have this elves on age of the ring ?

I always enjoyed Arachir Galudirithin's (I don't really how it's spelt) lore videos most.

RuudDevil I would love to see the last battle on the campaign dol guldur

i always kept my self inside that mountain and let all the dale buildings be destoryed :D

We cannot fail cause we wear mithril mail, and we are... the men of Dale!

so why is the left part of your town destroyed? ruudDevil: yea we don't talk about that

You can't build Fortress or Wall hub in this campaign coz it's been program not to have this option , since you have a large fortress and wall which is the Mountain.

I really miss Angmar in AotR sadly they won't include it

I am so curious how they will make the evil campaign. If they actually make up their own story it would be absolutely amazing.

I think that both of men of the west and history of middle earth are great. I'm not fluent in English but I didn't manage to find some channel in my mothertongue as good as they are so I prefer watching them

When will the new faction come out?

Men of the West is a great channel.

Nice

Where was Gondor when Ruud Devil defended Erebor ?

cant wait for Greenwood faction in AOtR ))))

KATMUDAA!

Tom Bombadil winning the battle is cannon

If you choose the "wrong" faction to load in as you don't get a fortress, ha I did the exact same thing and ended up holes up right in front of the throne with as many towers as I could get haha

Does the flag in the bottom left not work for objectives?

Rip premiere, guess we just watch the full thing by ourselves then

What kind of gamer setup do you have?

So, Drogoth-slaying next?

History of middle earth and men of the west

for us down in Australia this is torture lol

13:55 Yeah, I watch Men of the West and Darth Gandalf (which is a smaller channel). 20:10 ....no **laugher**

Yo can you please do a new total war warhammer 2 campaing

How do you play this campaing mission on Age of the Ring? Looks sweet, and I love walls to Ruud, I know how you feel

Oh is it finally happening? :O Cannot wait! Beware! :D Do not try to squeeze or fly Balrog through the main gate, it crashes...

How does he set autocast..?

I watch Men of the west, history of middle earth, lore of middle earth and darth Gandalf.

Boi didnt even use ents

ᴜ ᴍᴜsᴛ ᴅᴇғᴇɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇʀᴇʙᴏʀ

isilduuuuuuuuuuuuuuur

You sir have coronavirus? darn

I was about to clear this then my game crashed

Age of ring IS good and all. But!!!! IS IT better than dota 2???!?

Dislike for the introduction, ok video overall
