Send a diplomat to Thranduil's halls, Erebor and Kitikgathol. After you do this at each of these locations a small contingent of dwarves from those factions will arrive some turns later as units and as population in Khazad-dum. It also unlocks the Oracarni halls line of buildings, which provide units from the other dwarven factions and unit rosters unique to that building line.
Thank you for linking the mod in the description. I have to give it a try. Normal dac doesn’t have the ability to train all these units or unit cards, and they are looking fancy. Thanks for the 3 hour vid!
@@Ligizd What the Zenith Guard do to goblins could be descripted as cruel and unusual punishment. But they did ask for it by taking rightful Dwarven lands.
Took me a few days, but finally got through it. Dwarves of KD are such fun. But I always remember being such more financially constrained, that it took me a while before I could break out. You have done it really quickly.
Hello, my friend. A majestic episode, 3 hours long and fully worthy. As now you are typically consolidated in Khazad-dum and you start to advance in the outer world. It's good that you decided to keep Annon-en-Orrod, it will help your forces develop, as well as Zagh Kala. Now, you are free to crash the Goblins east of the Mountains and claim the lands that they own - let's hope that the Beornings are still breathing. I am fine of you claiming the lands of another faction if it dies, though this will remain in your hands. Now that you will start pumping out armies from Khazad-dum, nothing will stop you. I supppose that your primary target is the west bank of Anduin, marching north till you touch Gundabad, and you aim at Goblin Town. It's a good target, which will take out the Goblins - as I feel that the two random armies are going to make the full circle, passing from Isenguard and through the Gap of Rohan, a big southward circle, thus they will be extremely late to reach your lines. Use Oin to make watch towers in the blind area south of Khazad-dum and close to Lorien, so that you can see everything approaching. These for now, as the new steps will have to wait. And now, let's add a new episode to our story: Gandalf took the message after the Breelanders delivered it to him and hasted to Khazad-dum. He stayed alone with Balin for quite some time and avoided declaring himself publicly. But after quite some time, as Oin was negotiating with Elrond for Zagh Kala, Balin told him that he was going out to Keled-zaram. "It's time for the coronation", Balin said. And his voice was a mix of anxiety, expectation, enthusiasm and something else, that no one could describe. Oin simply nodded. But he also noticed Gandalf standing by the side of the Lord of Moria. It took quite a time for this, but the end was not exactly as expected. As a very large army came to the gate of Lorien and Oin was there to organise the defense. And as no news had come from Balin, the Dwarfs were very anxious. The attack came upon the gates and the Goblins passed with rams inside, but the Bridge of Khazad-dum was a true fortress. There was no other way to pass over it, only man by man, and the archers were right at the sides. So, no Goblin was able to pass into. However, a strong voice came from behind and the Goblins ran away. At the same time, a strong red light came from behind. "The High Lord!", some voices shouted. "The High Lord returned!". "And behind us the Balrog", said Borin to Oin. "Do you see the fire on the walls? We are caught in the middle". And at this time, the wizard came forth as the Balrog separated from the lots of Goblins behind. The two met over the bridge, as Oin pulled the army towards the doors, to the side of the room that led to the bridge. Balin was staying on the other side along with his bodyguard. As the wizard and the Balrog met, the clash began. The fiery whip and sword of the Balrog were clashing with the pure white bright staff of the wizard. After some exchanges, the wizard left a loud noise and stroke against the sword, which broke in flames. Then, the Balrog came all over the bridge close to the wizard, but Gandalf left a voice and his staff broke as he hit the stone in front of him. The bridge broke and the part with the Balrog fell into the shadow, while the other left, with Gandalf on top of it, trembled. But he still had his whip with him and grabbed the knees of the wizard. Gandlaf tried to catch the stone, but he couldn't and slipped, following the Balrog into the shadow. Deep sorrow was heard from all the Dwarven mouths upon seeing the scene. And the Goblins got courage and attacked, but now they met angry Dwarfs, who eliminated them all over the place. The invasion was repelled, but after the battle no one was in mood to celebrate. "I understand what has happened", Balin said to Oin the next day. "We will never forget the sacrifice of the wizard, a true friend in difficult times. But now, as our realm is now steady, we have a mission to accomplish: get out there and free our friends". "I'll follow you as soon as I can", Oin said. "However, we had spotted earlier a big army coming for us. We lost track of it, however our scouts say that they have gone south. As there is no pass between here and Goblin Town except the Gap of Rohan. and they don't want to enter into the lands that we gave to Elrond - they will be eliminated within hours. So, it's quite some time since we'll hear from them again. Though such an army is troublesome to everyone". "I see", Balin said. "Stay here for now and rebuild what you can do. Watch the region and let the vaults open and give to our people what they deserve". Oin nodded in agreement.
my god, you made me so scream at my screen with the Zagh Kala settlement xD SEND IN YOUR CAV? BUILD A MINERS QUARTERS! LEAVE GIMLI OUT xD omg, such a waste of a great governor
Such an enjoyable episode and campaign so far... one thing you should check is the Balin script, I didnt see if he got his coronation or not as it said by year 2993
One tip, since the starts you dont get to see a lot of what is hapening in the world might be better to have the map zoomed in so that us viewers get a better idea of your kingdom :D
That cave in anon en orod is the goblin barrack model in BFME 2 one of the rare LOTR rts The game is abandon ware so you need to "pirate" it to play it, very highly recommend, many of its soundtrack are used in third age as well. Honestly shovked you haven't played it before
I think I can explain what happened with the scripted attack. You only have 3 turns to move Balin into position, you however took 4 turns. This means you missed the coronation and subsequent ambush (also it was hilarious that you almost made the same mistake lore Balin did and went alone). You also mentioned waystations need culture to work, but as you saw later they don't. The waystation's main strength comes from how it can retrain without any culture at all. You should also be able to retrain those Reclaimers in a Waystation outside of the Eregion region.
You should have taken the dwarves out of the eastern part of the city and put them in the west. Used the combined army to destroy the goblins and then returned them east for free upkeep.
As I recall the diplomat to Bree is not part of the actual script. What is required is for the Dwarves of Khazad Dum to follow the paths of their ancestors. If they too delve too greedily and too deep they may rediscover something that has dwelt at the bottom of the Black Pits of Moria. I recall that it was the Mithril Mines that caused the script with the Balrog and not the diplomat with Bree. Build the Mines first and then see if you get a message called Balin uncrowned or something like that. When you get that message you have 15 turns to get Balin to the small lake outside Khazad Dum East. If he arrives there he will be attacked by an army that should spawn with the Balrog if you do not send a diplomat to Bree.
i was wondering if you have a proper install guide for EUR on the channel or if you could make one if there isnt one.. ive gotten the submod to work but after 6 turns of play i keep getting the "unexpected error" crash. ive followed all the steps from other videos but i did notice that alot of other people still have their "Kingdoms" exe. I remember from installing Dac V 4.6 that i was forced to rename my "kingdoms" exe. to something else to allow DaC to run. Should i just do another fresh install of Medieval and DaC in a seperate location? or did i just miss something.
I think you have turned the high elves into a powerhouse since AI growth is ridiculously quick they will upgrade it then probably after like 30 turns rebuild the Gwaith I Mirdain then spam out Ñoldor Units everywhere then they will get Glorfindel loving this campaign so far and please can you rename Zagh Kala to Nova Nogorod meaning new Nogorod in honour of one of the Khazad cities of the 1st age 🎉
@@zackc3767 What mod and version are you playing? Yeah i'm kinda surprised by the Elven aggression in this campaign, might be that they've been buffed in the EUR mod.
@@Ligizd I think I"m playing on DAC 5 or something. A pretty generic one I'm not good at modding I just went to a youtube video about how to download and install and somehow I got it working lol. The one I'm on doesn't have Elves of Eregion.
You didn't need to give all your money at all, the "very demanding" is misleading AF, if they are "true" allies (like good factions between them) they usually accept most offers (a bit exploity even) regardless of the "demanding" part

3 hours of Dwarves of Khazad dum thanks for saving my afternoon.
Give me a legion of dwarves, fully armed and filthy!
Props for doing a mountain holds only playthrough. Worth a little self created win condition in exchange for banishing the balrog

First, that first siege was awesome. Just a solid mosh pit of dwarves in armor crushing the gobbos against the walls.

Trade Annon en orod for Zagh Kala.
Afterall, dwarves dwell in the mountains, seeking riches as Lord Elrond said

hello ligzid,
love this faction and I'm glad that you post it, i think you missed the zenith guard in the great miners hall, keep up the good work
Ered Luin has accepted the gift and betrayed our cause so I propose we send expedition to reclaim Buzra-dum before they do.
for the sons of durin
Imagine being one of the bandits, seeing friends dying all around you while an army of heavily armored dwarves just chill a few feet away 😅
😅
oh boi 3 hours, hell yeah
3 hours , lets go my day is saved

Did the Mirrowomere script with Balin trigger? I didn't see it.
Are the Blacklock Engineers from DAC in this mod,as I loved using them once I had them due to the fact that they mowed down goblins like chaff?
Yes, you can get the as Khazad-dum too, they almost put elven archers to shame.
