Ugluk and uruk scouts are definitely my favorite additions.. They make so much sense and fill a gap in troop variety that isen always has. Idk why they weren't in the base game Tbh.
Yeap Ugluk is pretty good, imagine you have a fully upgraded Uruk army, almost low health and Ugluk in the middle of it. Activate Orc Medicine and BOOM!! Full health back again ready to keep on fighting (maybe its a bit OP)
I think lore wise it would make more sense that Saruman be the ring hero, since his desire to possess the One has consumed him for such a long time.. Were it within his grasp he would see Sauron destroyed and take his place.. Perhaps you would have to have him decommissioned at the fortress before you can summon Saruman with the ring?
I made a video showing all these kinds of things here: ua-cam.com/video/I5D1w12XQ88/v-deo.html&ytbChannel=null Just click on the time stamp in the video description for what you are looking for.
I wish my gameplay doesnt lag as much! especially when using ultra graphics..can someone help me? how do you make the game run smooth beside lowering the graphics...
33:44 the concept of fire arrows is not only weird on a crossbow, it's complete bullshit on any bow. Fire arrows are a thing of fiction, any fire on an arrow would be blown out as soon as it's let loose. If you're interested in that kind of stuff, there are a ton of videos on youtube that debunk that kind of stuff that we see in movies.
You should sent a message to EA. Or the makers of Age of Empires. Or the dozens of medieval movies/games that use fire arrows. But other than that, feel proud that you put those mod makers in their place for their historical inaccuracy when making a Lord of the Rings mod.
I was merely replying to destroyers remark on the weirdness of setting crossbow bolts on fire. I'm not blaming the mod authors at all, they did a fantastic job making this old game so gorgeous to look at as well as implementing new and exciting features and I am very much looking forward to this mod's future. Small historical inaccuracies pale in comparison of what they have accomplished. Of course from a game designer's perspective it's hard to think of any realistic and visuably recognisable way of upgrading range units' damage so using the old myth of fire arrows comes naturally, since it's been in games and especially movies for ages. And obviously modders have to work with what the base game is giving them and are (probably) no scholars of medieval warfare. I didn't want to appear like a know-it-all but I see that I might have done just that.
Another Question , Is the game actually balanced between the factions with this mod ? Since in the normal Second game dwarves and elves were broken and in ROTWK all the good factions and Isengard were too strong imo
What is the advantage of isengard? Like they have the weakest heroes and army is not the strongest judging by the fact that erebor and elves has stronger army.
You're on a channel making videos about Age of the Ring, responding to a video about Age of the Ring, and you still want people to *tell you* what is new. This is an evolved form of laziness.
Do you think this Mod is finished after they have released all the base factions? Because there are some superficial things, for example Bolg is a limited time hero, this is ridiculous... or Sauron "ring hero" for Isengard! However we must already wait at least an year ONLY to have all the base factions, think how we should wait for all the fixings... this Mod is too new...
Easy to install ? Also is the Good ring hero as strong as Sauron ? If its still Galadriel :p Because in the normal second game sauron basically shits on her xD
Delderan Wolfsblut Well considering I don't really like the edain mod and I love this mod, I'm going to say Age of the Ring lol. Also yes you can play it online. You can use GameRanger or T3A online to play the base game and Rotwk but The aotr mod only works through the T3A servers.
Edain has more various hero abilities and resource buildings, but I don't like the BFME 1 building system, and I think Edain needs a graphical update. AOTR models and design are 100 times better. About variety: AOTR is a relative new mod, I think they will improve the abilities and gameplay later.
High tier heroes coming out already at level 5?? Seems like a really bad idea regarding gameplay to me, also makes no sense. Thanks for showcasing the factions for us.
"also makes no sense"? In the case of Saruman, Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel.. They have thousands of years worth of experience already. And they are all of them beings that wield great power, so.. Makes perfect sense to me
I can see your point of them having thousands of years worth of experience already but that is in the actual world, I'm talking from the game's perspective. To have units start at a such a higher level automatically is terrible game design to me. Are all the elves' units (Swordsman, Archers etc) going to start at a much higher level than the other factions units? They have thousands of years of experience too. Assuming that orcs retain immortality from once being elves (which I believe they do) do all their units start at higher or max level? I just mean to say that I think it's poor design to start them off so high immediately. Just my personal criticism, criticism is good so we can think of everything :)
U did isengard yes!! So much love!! But isengard I feel gets the least love. The buildings compared to the rest always look most vanilla. No scaffoldings or nothing sad.
Blade57331 well they are supposed to be an early game unit I would expect so it makes sense. If they did then they would make crossbows and swords kinda pointless in a way.
Well, to be fair. Isengard never had good range units. I mean crossbows and axe throwers have great damage but they don't have that long range. I'm sure you learned that hard way while fighting Elves x) So scouts could help in it but oh well.
A new power is arising, Its victory is at hand!
This night, the land will be stained with the blood of Rohan.
Ugluk and uruk scouts are definitely my favorite additions.. They make so much sense and fill a gap in troop variety that isen always has. Idk why they weren't in the base game Tbh.
But man I wish this had some things from 1.09 like floor maps and those wizard staff effects
Matt gg Yeah agree but ugluk dies way to fast :(
Akram nah I think he's balanced well.. He's a low tier hero but has some really nice powers
Yeap Ugluk is pretty good, imagine you have a fully upgraded Uruk army, almost low health and Ugluk in the middle of it. Activate Orc Medicine and BOOM!! Full health back again ready to keep on fighting (maybe its a bit OP)
Spin Spir it's not full health I don't believe but yeah it's good. The summon and ability where the uruks get 100% damage is good
I think lore wise it would make more sense that Saruman be the ring hero, since his desire to possess the One has consumed him for such a long time.. Were it within his grasp he would see Sauron destroyed and take his place.. Perhaps you would have to have him decommissioned at the fortress before you can summon Saruman with the ring?
The firearrows and fireballs new fx are amazing!
Do you still have version 1.0? I just need this basic mod.
Can't find this game on any game shelf anymore. Is there any other way to get it?
How can you make that white line when you position your units (11:12)? And the same when you order to run in circles.
I made a video showing all these kinds of things here: ua-cam.com/video/I5D1w12XQ88/v-deo.html&ytbChannel=null
Just click on the time stamp in the video description for what you are looking for.
Great, thanks! I'm watching it and I think that is an amazing work!

Fire arrows were used in history albeit very rarely in special cases. There are even remaing arrowheads with small "cages".
Looks like a great addition to the game. I am playing through LOTR conquest at the moment and really enjoying it.
God damn that thumbnail looks great!
Back in time when Destro was uploaded and streamed AOTR... Should do that again from time to time...
Can anyone help me, is there anywhere I can download all the bfme games because iv got a new pc but they won't play on it
forums.revora.net/topic/105190-bfme1bfme2rotwk-games-download-installation-guide/
I think that you got mistaken, Wildmen throw torches in Edain. Cool video and actually I am very proud to see the Uruk Axeman as the Scouts Leader !!!
Spin Spir I saw them throwing torches at very close range
When ?
Around 19:30
Spin Spir No wildmen have always thrown torches from towers. At least in old patches from what I remember.
TheDestroyer001 Thanks

Can anybody tell me whats new in the Age of the Ring? And why is everyone so hyped about it?

This is an evolved form of laziness.
the link of the video is says private i cant see it
That's because this video is extremely outdated.
Когда этот мод выйдет?
Do you think this Mod is finished after they have released all the base factions?

However we must already wait at least an year ONLY to have all the base factions, think how we should wait for all the fixings... this Mod is too new...
I hope in the future versions some heroes get more powers (Ex: Sauron ring form)
So which game is this actually a mod for ? ROTWK or the Base second game ?
It is a mod for RotWK, specifically patch 2.02 version 6.0.0.
Easy to install ? Also is the Good ring hero as strong as Sauron ? If its still Galadriel :p Because in the normal second game sauron basically shits on her xD
Can you play online at gameranger with this mod? v1.0
Someone please answer me
Pulcino560 No it can only be played through the T3A servers.
Thank you
Is this game active again? It's my favourite strategy game of all time, would love to be able to play it against people again!
Yes, you can play online still through a program called GameRanger or T3A.
I noticed that elves are not present in this mod
Next release.
davekat That is correct. None of the elven factions are near ready for a release yet.
I assumed that they were just segregated and forced to leave Middle Earth against their will.
That main menu looks great! Would love to know how they did that :).
I think it has something to do with Skyrim's main menu since there are a bunch of files in the AotR folder called SkyrimMenu. Dunno how though.
They should make Saruman a ring hero
Do you play this on win xp or which one?
aleksandar şavic I use windows 7. Not many people are still using xp nowadays lol. Even Win 7 is kinda old now :P
Well it's true but i like 7 more than any new one xD
And ty for answering :D
if only if my disk drive could work again :C i could install this game but i cant because the disk driver is fucked lol
Or you could try downloading from online and using a virtual disc drive like most the players do :P
Do you prefer this or Edain mod? Also are there people who play this game on multiplayer?
Delderan Wolfsblut Well considering I don't really like the edain mod and I love this mod, I'm going to say Age of the Ring lol. Also yes you can play it online. You can use GameRanger or T3A online to play the base game and Rotwk but The aotr mod only works through the T3A servers.

Imagine doing a 4vs4 with one team all isengard and they level up their whole army at once with 4 Sarumans.... #lvl10army #sarumanOP
Yes ! Oh my god YES ! :p
And now 4 isengards taking down 2 whole bases with avalanch....
That would be nasty lol.
TheDestroyer001 especially if they all were close to the others base with their fortresses..... #lightningstrike
U did isengard yes!! So much love!! But isengard I feel gets the least love. The buildings compared to the rest always look most vanilla. No scaffoldings or nothing sad.
I agree with you.
Wish uruk scouts could get upgrades. They won't be usefull in late game :(
Blade57331 well they are supposed to be an early game unit I would expect so it makes sense. If they did then they would make crossbows and swords kinda pointless in a way.
Well, to be fair. Isengard never had good range units. I mean crossbows and axe throwers have great damage but they don't have that long range. I'm sure you learned that hard way while fighting Elves x)
So scouts could help in it but oh well.
WHY DONT THEY WEAR PANTS!?
Fuck windows 7 xD can't play TBME 2
I don't know why but l hates to hear English .
