  Anyone else think this faction is just borderline deviantart OC garbage? They're immensely annoying because you're forced to fight doomstacks if you play as the High Elves. And if you destroy them early as Harad they just magic themselves back into existence because the devs precious OC Donut Steel faction isn't allowed to lose?

  How on middle earth did you manage to get over 140000 money by turn 50? I’ve been struggling economically as Lorien. It’s impossible to fight off Dol G and manage to build up settlements at the same time. Woodland realm refuse to ally. Restarted campaign again for the 3rd time and still can’t get beyond 5 settlements. After taking Dol G a huge army with trolls gets spawned and goes off on a rampage defeating the vale and everyone else who I was allied to. It’s a pig of a faction imo.

  Going with the Dunedain route just seems like a worse version of the Arnor choice from the Northern Dunedain faction. Yeah you get those nice high elf units, but only from Michel Delving and the rest of your roster is just worst than that of Arnor, and of course you don't have access to the full building tree of the Numenorian factions(level 5 armor, 3rd level roads everywhere, etc). The Mercenary route on the other hand is not only unique but makes you the only non Dwarven faction with recruitable Dwarven artillery(yes, Blue Wizard Khand does get 2 Dwarven Catapults, 1 with each Blue Wizard, but you can't recruit any more) which along the tier 2 Dwarven units you get access to makes for a very solid and very well rounded roster. Think about it, the biggest drawback of all the Dwarven factions is their complete lack of cavalry, being forced to rely on weak cavalry mercenaries like the Dale or Rhovanion Cavalries. Brie can readily recruit decent(albeit not amazing by any stretch) cavalry to go along with their Dwarven infantry and artillery units, and the rest of the roster too of course. This is actually huge for Bree, and more than makes up for losing the Dunedain settlements and 1 general Imho. Btw, why does the Dunedain faction also gives you a new general? I thought the mercenary general you get is supposed to replace the Dunedain one that leaves, so the Dunedain route doesn't really need a new general Imho. I dare say that the Bree Mercenary route is actually a very formidable and very powerful faction, whereas the Bree Dunedain route is extremely mediocre.

  When you talked about Orc factions lacking a crossbow unit you somehow forgot Isengard. As for the Azog Defilers, they're definitely a highlight, arguably the only true highlight, of the Goblin roster. Ironically enough the existence of Azog's Defilers is actually an incredibly good reason to play as Gundabad rather than the Goblins of Moria, and take Khazad Dum East and West to recruit them, into a much stronger faction. It's the only truly elite unit unlocked by Gundabad's unique mechanic that entices them go betray the other evil factions, the rest of the units they can get are nice to have at best, throwaways at worst, whereas the Azog's Defilers are truly special and fit incredibly well into Gundabad's roster. Also being recruitable from 2 settlements rather than the usual 1 is another massive boon for that strategy.

  something I’ve always wondered about regarding DAC pikes is why the majority of them don’t utilize shields? historically most pike style formations used shields until masses firearm deployment. I would submit that putting yourself into the factions in game lore shoes you’d probably have a shield via common sense. plus, I think lore would support shields for pike formations, especially the dwarves who wouldn’t labor under the additional weight.

  I believe it is because the engine can't. I could be wrong but a lot of the weird things are caused by the engine rather than a modders choice. It could also be a way to make the pikes at least slight less overpowered. Range units are one of the better ways to counter pikes.

  true, the Argead’s and the Diadochi’s pike formations would progressively angle the rearward / unengaged pikes so that when fully arrayed above the formation and swayed they would knock down many arrows.

  Another pro tip, if you board your army and want to make your navy travel further click on the ships pictures so that they all highlight with army onboard. Then move their max, then once moved and the ships are still selected it should give you additional movement points. Its a crusading ship glitch mechanic.

  I started with Oin and Ori still part of Balin’s retinue. I was able to send a diplomat to Bree that early and the Balrog did not appear however there was no announcement that it was defeated by Gandalf (Tharkun). Though I managed to bring Balin to the miromere and there had 2 full stacks army that emerged at my gates and eventually defeated them. However, there was still no announcement of the death of Balrog. I am on my 100th turn and still there’s no sign of him.

  If anyone sees this, if you want to still be able to produce orthanc at edoras and byrig whilst betraying isengard you must complete and win your assault against them in 1 turn. You must break alliance, assault, and capture isengard all in the same turn or you will lose those recruitment spots to script. If isengard is dead prior to script being able to implement. It will not run.

Elite units on the other hand are mby bit too much armoured and colorful to the point where it does not feel like Dunland. Also some armour choices (especially helmets) look kinda goofy and ridiculous. Feels like it should have stayed the same, but maybe i just played too much 4.5

  I edited the files fam and used the highest tier new unit skins for the aduniac plate tier 5 and used the old skins which are still in the game for everything else. Imma tell you. They look amazing. It feels like you pulled up some boys from the south and scrambled them together then to get your tier 5 plate and look like a solid numenorean army with that black prince feel is so satisfying. Best of both worlds for real.

  What really ticks me off with Lorien, and what ticks me off in general with this mod, is that AI friends who have your big enemy as their enemy as well, for example Khazad-Dun being enemies with Dol Goldur, seem to be coded to not really want to fight that enemy. I've tried Lorien a few times, and I just got sick of Khazad-Dun letting them walk through Erui (I don't take Erui I rush for Edrichairn, Rocheburg AND Fangorn Camp) without contesting them. They even move superior armies AWAY from inferior Dol Guldor stacks. Wood Elves are the same. They just sit there. And the Unification mechanic is not worth as by that time the AI Wood Elves, who don't suffer from lack of money as no AI does, has pumped up thousands of gold worth of units that it did nothing with, leaving you tens of thousands in debt, but because you were the only one fighting Dol Guldor, Dol Guldor still outnumbers you and you can't bring what should be an overwhelming force together. tldr; the AI rolls over for itself to create an artificial feel of "difficulty" for the human player. It's cheap and I don't like it. The only two AI pairs I ever see actually acting as if they are at war with each other are Rohan and Isengard, and Gondor and Mordor (and frequently Gondor leaves Cair Andros undermanned and let's Mordor hold it, as well as BOTH East AND West Ostgiliath). Sometimes Erebor and Gundabad. That's really it. And I disagree that you have options and breathing room. Precisely BECAUSE no one else takes Dol Guldor seriously, you can't really move out to expand past your first few settlements or even think about assailing Amon Loc itself because as soon as you mobilize, Dol Guldor starts sneaking a force in to take whatever you may have left undermanned. So you have to pull back. Or else you'll just sacrifice a settlement to take another, which ends up changing nothing.

  A comment on the lack of spears. The forest is an inherent defense against cavalry. Just for a lore blurb. Fighting in the forest is similar to fighting on a ship. Short weapons, shock tactics from ambush/boarding actions, cavalry don't work well, and prior to cannons the distance at which you can engage the enemy is quite short.

  There is a lot of gate keeping with the modding team.

They are not horde faction, that is the only reason i can think of

  @@maximusd26 i know, that is the gatekeeping i was talking about. The argument is "game is too easy as it is", and for extreme minority that might be the case. However, hard does not always means fun. I dislike AI spawning army after army on top of the extra starting armies on top of free recruitment without upkeep on top of the free settlements, but i can understand it to a degree. That being said, fighting hundreds of battles where are you outnumbered 10:1 and expected to loose almost nothing time after time after time after time as the only means to have a sliver of army is the opposite of fun. Losing half of your economy because you moved one unit out of the city while AI is fielding tens of thousands of troops without any cost is... well.... it makes you loose all interest in all the rich lore that seems as nothing but fluff in the game that ignore half its own mechanics

  I think the skins are fine. These aren't necessarily men that the Adunaim are training, but men of a pre-existing tradition. Also I don't like the ultra dark color scheme of these Adunaim anyway, I preferred the more golden Roman-inspired stuff but I'm too lazy to mod them back in. There's also no reason not to upgrade to the higher tier conscription buildings. The income is nice but the upkeep savings easily make up for losing it. I don't know if there are unit slots but an "assimilation unit" that's a slightly upgraded version of a local troop would be an interesting choice if you get enough culture. Alternatively if it's possible to tie unit experience to higher levels of Adunaim culture, though I suppose just having the units is already enough of a boon on its own.

  To make the Gondor playthrough more managable, you can keep W-Osgilliath in an endless siege. The armies can't go around the city to attack your army on the bridge. So as long as your army is big enough to disuade the besieged forces to sally out, you'll be fine. You can gradually reduce the sieging army size to one cheap unit when the attrition takes it toll. This way you only need to defend Cair Andros in the west. Cair Andros is best defended by pulling Faramir and his rangers immediatly into the castle and from there keep recruiting Ithilien rangers mixed with a couple of balista's. In battle place them in the back of the settlement and use a couple of melee infantry in front of the gate. The free infantry units from the guardhouses are really good here. Mix in some pikes and you'll be fine. In the south, rush Umbar asap. Capturing Umbar will gut the Ar-arudanaim (or however you spell it) and make your southern border a lot safer. In version 5.0 Rohan is extremely strong and will usually stomp Isengard so as Gondor, you can play the vulture and scoop up some settlements. Rohan will usually not attack Isengard itself untill deep into a campaign, so you can just take that for yourself. Be carefull though because Isengards pikes are overtuned and will absolutly wreck anything bar your most elite units and that grenade thrower unit Isengard has is insanely powerfull if you let them throw.
