How do you guys still have any armies if you keep letting the ai sally out against you :P

[Myth]

The Elves beat sallies with 10< casualties if commanded properly.

[Nightbringer]

I agree, you should always have far more than 10 casualties :)

Honestly though, I am starting to feel that giving the "good" side more players was not an equitable decision. The quality of you guys' troops is absurdly above ours, and on top of that you have far greater access to cavalry. While I have gotten pretty large as mordor, Gondor is still about even with me, and Rohan and Eriador are both quite large as well.

And no mention of my guerrilla campaigns I see? >.>

I prefer not to think about having 3/4 of a stack of mine beat by 3 of your units. :)

[Zim]

It's possible that the extra player for the good side will not turn out to be the right decision, although I suspect Mordor's move into the rest of Gondor has mainly been delayed by lack of siege weapons (and possibly waiting on Harad toreach me...). I am interested to see to what extent the first evil "crusade" will have by allowing Mordor's side to give all tehir troops free upkeep and double movement.

The loss of Isengard is also likely making the numbers disparity even more strongly felt. If it looks like things are favoring the Free Peoples too much perhaps we can make room for a OOTMM player?

As far as stronger troops, you should see what autocalc during AI turns has done to the poor Elves for several turns this game. :sweatdrop:

[Nightbringer]

Thats true, autocalc is on our side, as is the crusade mechanic (although the mercs are rather lackluster from it, still, free upkeep is always helpful), but cavalry. Oh how I miss having cavalry.

That is the real reason why I haven't moved in more, any move would be obliterated by your cavalry generals.

As to siege weapons, those are amazingly expensive, both in time and resources, to get to.

[Thanatos Eclipse]

The Elves beat sallies with 10< casualties if commanded properly.

I guess it's lucky for us then that the sallies are ar'd then :)

[Nightbringer]

The Elves beat sallies with 10< casualties if commanded properly.

That works as well, 10 should be less than the number of casualties you rotten elves sustain.

Glorious battle! Our march to drive out the last filth of isen drove us to Ost-in-Edil whom was held by filthy orcs and goblins, seeing them we as the same king of filth we charged fourth to liberate the town. As our main army moved to besiege, King Thengel himself took two decimated units of rohan riders and Helmings each to deal with a small Goblin force. After killing the roughly 650 Orcs and goblins, letting a few escape he stumbled on what was a host of the filthy creatures. Apparently he had only dealt with the Advance party, a Vanguard.

Seeing as it was too late to withdraw and warn the already besieging army whom would not be able to escape this new threat, Thengel lead a furious charge with his remaining men. The enemy faced them head on, withstanding charge after charge. When two unit of Snagas unleashed their deadly javelins all seemed lost.

But as the Javelins started flying, the Hemlings charged into melee causing the filthy creatures leader to break, leading to the rout of the entire army. Thengel having seen some of his closest men fall, showed no mercy. Not one goblin, orc or snaga survived to tell the tale of his fury.

The tally of the battle ended with 1657 dead from the Misty mountains, 34 out of 233 Men from Rohan not counting the many wounded in this heroic battle.

And that right there is why I am coming to the belief that a balanced hotseat game is impossible in his mod.

I don't mean to be whining though, and am looking forward to playing this game out!

This reminds me of fighting the Rajputs as the Caliphate back in the old BC hotseat days. Multitudes of hindu spear and archers cut down by a small number of brave cavalrymen...

[Mithridate]

A rule should be added imho to set a maximum number of adoptions. If not i canget one unit of heavy cavalry every turn, whom costs me 200 in wages only (unless im mistaken) whom also replenishes losses for free. Harad and Rhun can do the same ofc, but that still leaves us with the advantage since we have twice as many factions with mounted BGs

To be fair i had very good units facing pretty much only snaga whom are nothing if not weak on favorable terrain.

now if that sweet little rebel village could STOP SALLYING and let me assault... Twice they have driven me off now only to return immediately :D

[Zim]

OOTMM being a favorite faction of mine I can confirm the extent to which snaga suck if anything can force them into combat.

And also the many autoresolve battles I've had to do over the ai turn where our side got pasted against the high unit numbers ai orcs.

Speaking of adoptions, mine have been continually failing lately. I wish I knew why, this always happens to me in hotseat games for no apparent reason.

[Thanatos Eclipse]

it doesn't always fix the problem, but I've found before that the adoptions are more likely to go through if you accept them first thing. In a lot of games if I don't do it first thing it seems to be a surefire fail.

hmm, well I always do it first, but maybe if that seems to have an affect I will try NOT doing them first and see.

[Myth]

I have my suspicions that there is either a cap on max FMs on the map or a cap of emerging FMs per turn and those who are behind in the TO can't adopt if players before them do so. That's speculation only.

[LooseCannon1]

:laugh4:in CoG my last two adoptions "were not completed' due to the death of the adoptee. I noticed that always "dying when not first decision" in singleplayer so I've been doing it first. I believe it's due to to my loss of regions in that game. The game giveth, the game taketh away:computer:

That would make it easier for us. Turning the OOTMM human means no garrison script for Moria. Frankly, the only thing stopping us from taking that cash-cow of a city are the balrogs that spawn when it's AI and you lay siege to it. A human lead OOTMM will get eliminated in about 6 turns. Not to mention the AI Dwarves have spawned a lot of armies judging by the faction charts, and they will take them from the north.

It will take me the better part of 20 turns to reach Gondor from my home regions... This mod is absurdly slow for HS play (though excellent for SP)

[Nightbringer]

Ya, this is a fantastic mod, but it just doesn't work for competitive multiplayer in my opinion.
Some kind of roleplay or more rpg like thing might work better.

I'll be back from my holiday tomorrow, although I don't think I will be playing my turn till Monday morning if that's ok with you guys. The flight is at 10PM GMT tomorrow and touchdown back in the UK will be about 2AM - I won't be in the mood for hotseating at such absurd times! XD

I would have happily played the turn now but I realised that when I was spring-cleaning my laptop I must have uninstalled Third Age.. T_T

Done, sort of.

Two things I noticed. First, I accidentally ARed a defensive battle for a faction on Mordor's side. The AI faction was on the left on the prebattle screen, where the human player was for the other defensive battles. Didn't think untill after that the Free Peoples side was one we don't have a player for (Dale) and the opposing side a faction we do have a player for. Second, the prebattle screen was a bit screwy, with strange odds (1:6000) and showing the wrong number of men for Dale, post battle results and numbers were reasonable.

Two questions, should I do my turn over after Thanatos ARs his team's battle? And, does anyone know what might be up with the prebattle screen?

Save for if Thanatos wants to take a look and see if he gets the same odd prebattle odds and numbers.

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=205&id=10107

[LooseCannon1]

He'll probably get the same odds and numbers but they're not the worst I've seen in any M2TW battle screen. Seen some crazy ones in KGCM and SS where the number of men actually increase (both sides) after the battle. And I've seen low number (of men) and low odds win in both mods. You can't rely of the odds bar to be accurate.

[Zim]

Good to know it isn't unique.

Theres two problems and the sallying is not one of em:

1, its so narrow so only one army can be in range, so we need an extra turn to move into position
2, Eriador is in front of me so we cant bunch up due to me playing before him...

Add the fort to that and its an issue :D

[Zim]

Thanks to Myth for holding the save for me.

In light of recent events I had to run through a couple of the Sylvan Elves turns. The good news is that nothing game breaking. In fact, I think a couple of very small changes would return the status quo pre any shenanigans for the Sylvans.

The bad news is that we will be down a player Given the balance issues arising from the extra player for the "good" side and Isengard's defeat I'm inclined not to seek a new one. However, the Sylvans, like Gondor, are at a main front with two enemy factions. Would just turning them AI be the best route or create more problems that it would solve?

[Mithridate]

Rohan can sub^^ Zim

If this is not acceptable, i suggest AI.
Will prolly lead to Rohan invading the elves xD

[LooseCannon1]

Turning the Sylvan Elves AI would not put the Free Peoples at much of a disadvantage. Yes, the AI doesn't do a good job of playing the game:laugh4: by sending small armies out and about. But that's the only real disadvantage for the good side. Even if they get rolled over by two factions it would move the game along. We've played into our 23rd turn in less than a year.:dizzy2:

Mithridate How can you sub?:shrug: Get back into UDS and play your turn!!:yes:

[Mithridate]

Would if i could Loose, not at home and doing algebra... (these turns are very rare and relatively quick)
If someone else can sub the silvans than me id really appreciate that but better me than AI

And AI blows big time :(

[Myth]

I suggest fixing the faction and subbing it or assigning it to another player.
