That's the year I started playing this game! I still have my original copy and I use the CD to play the game with the original settings from way back in the day. I like the patches, but that way I feel like I'm back in the mid to late 2000s. Hahaha.
Dude this game is fantastic. Got it too back then on Xbox 360. Put PC is way more handy. Wish they’d release a part 3 or like fully recovered version to today’s visuals.
11 tip : teach your kid bfme so that there will a future Shanks. I always divide my army with control and a number. For example control 1 for infantry and 2 for cavarly. You can easily creep a troll if you get an outpost with heroic statue and archers or with the 2 cavarly trick use one to lure troll out and the second on the lair
You've genuinely inspired me to make content around this game, I've beaten both campaigns at least five times each. It is still one of my all time favorite RTS games ever. Now I just need to figure out how the hell to make the sequel work on a modern pc LOL
5:26 I can't imagine how hilarious it must have felt to load up a game specifically for the purpose of having Saruman blow himself up by casting Fireball on an explosive mine in an empty field.
One piece of feedback I have (said with love and appreciation), you may want to consider speaking just a little bit slower. You're providing wonderfully useful information but I felt that I needed to play at 0.75 speed to really take it all in. While playing at a slower speed helps, it then sounds off and unnatural. Great video overall and I subscribed to your channel : )
Shanks you never use attack move just push A like I been hearing a lot how in bfme 1 dont have aggressive stance but if you just use attack move and micro from there yoh wont have units sitting there doing nothing
Great vídeo, please do more and slower as a New ans returners to the game WE need more time to remember and point all This ! Thanks! Keep more videos incomming I subbed
I always queue units especially in campaign mode & the reason for this is you can quite easily go over the command limit which gives you an advantage as your unit reaches level 2 they can spawn over time either using the heal or the well or just naturally but whilst healing your new units will be coming out of your building then if you have reinforcements coming ie helms deep or osgiliath then you'll have more numbers
I played this game snice i was 8. I never knew that leadership is so important for this game until 3 yrsago when i saw what level 10 units are capable to do
Is this 2006 ? Is both crazy and fantastic that we can see serious tutorials on this game still releasing. Thanks !

this video is so well edited i love it! great work shanks!
Here’s a Mordor tip:
1. Spam orcs to high heavens.
2. Support them with Haradrim, Easterlings and Trolls.
3. Win
I would love the video of creeping, thanks!!
Ok, Saruman shooting the bomb got me. That was funny!
Watching this video makes me realize just how great some of the elements of this game was.
I like that you put more effort on the videos
The "U" command is great!
Thanks for the tips.
Why is heal bad against Isengard and elven wood against Mordor?
A video about creeping is a good idea.
because you will never win the fight against isengard
Elven wood against isengard is usefull because elven wood gives you armor + removes enemy's leadership
I see Boromir and subscribed. Great to see BFME content, bru! keep it up
Nice video again Shanks! Could you do a video on other useful shortcuts once? :)

Shanks with the 🔥editing
hi shanks,
great video! it would be great to make more guides like faction matchup guides, build order and advanced micro
One piece of feedback I have (said with love and appreciation), you may want to consider speaking just a little bit slower. You're providing wonderfully useful information but I felt that I needed to play at 0.75 speed to really take it all in. While playing at a slower speed helps, it then sounds off and unnatural. Great video overall and I subscribed to your channel : )
Great job 💪
awesome cutting, great infos
Will you do this for bfme 2 too?
Great editing 👍

Shanks you never use attack move just push A like I been hearing a lot how in bfme 1 dont have aggressive stance but if you just use attack move and micro from there yoh wont have units sitting there doing nothing
Great vídeo, please do more and slower as a New ans returners to the game WE need more time to remember and point all This ! Thanks! Keep more videos incomming I subbed
How do you have 250 pop cap?
I always queue units especially in campaign mode & the reason for this is you can quite easily go over the command limit which gives you an advantage as your unit reaches level 2 they can spawn over time either using the heal or the well or just naturally but whilst healing your new units will be coming out of your building then if you have reinforcements coming ie helms deep or osgiliath then you'll have more numbers
