Fangorn has been cleared of bandits and is now under the tending hands of Rohan, never again shall it be defiled. The pacification of the Dunns and cleansing of sauromans remaining creatures continues

sorry guys, my computer is acting up, would someone mind subbing/letting the AI do things for me from now?
Either way, I'm off to Germany tomorrow and won't be back til the end of January. Given the situation, you could just make Isengard AI permanently. I doubt I'll survive much longer anyway.
I've had a blast and sorry for ending it like this.
Sorry to lose you, but I hope you like germany, and see you when you get back!
bump - are we going to be setting Isengard as AI then?
It will suck having them as AI since they will get free stacks :blank2:
Myth may be right. If you want to sub pw is sharkey or possibly Sharkey
I believe I can help :) Would it be possible if I could play/sub Isenguard, at least until deguerra gets back and we shall see what stance he has on rejoining the game. I have experience with hotseats in particular TA, and have not played any on this forum.
Welcome to the game, TheAltGuardian. :yes:

Dunland is firmly in the hands of Rohan, with our guidance they shall rise from the dust and become true men! The end for isengard draws near, but the men are uneasy as they smell a dirty ambush.
Nonetheless, the taint of isengard shall be purged!
ive taken the last of isengard's settlements, and they have been destroyed.

That was a short stay! Sorry! Would you like to join one of our other games, one of the SS games perhaps? we have open slots in each with good, well-placed factions to deal with.Quote:

How do you guys still have any armies if you keep letting the ai sally out against you :P
The Elves beat sallies with 10< casualties if commanded properly.
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? >.>Quote:

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

FPoE up!
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.Quote:

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...Quote:

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
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.

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.Quote:

: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:
