*Minas Tirith: The Tower of Guard* Minas Tirith, the capital city of Gondor in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, stands as a magnificent bastion of human strength and resilience. Located on the eastern edge of the White Mountains, Minas Tirith overlooks the vast plains of Pelennor Fields and the Anduin River. The city's architecture is a marvel, built into the side of Mount Mindolluin, with seven concentric tiers rising to the Citadel at the summit. Each level is fortified with strong walls and gates, culminating in the towering White Tower of Ecthelion, which serves as both a symbol of Gondor’s might and a beacon of hope. The geography of Minas Tirith is both its strength and its challenge. The city’s steep, terraced structure and its commanding position over the surrounding landscape make it highly defensible. The Pelennor Fields provide a clear line of sight for miles around, crucial for spotting approaching armies. The Rammas Echor, an outer defensive wall, encircles these fields, adding an additional layer of protection. Inhabitants of Minas Tirith are primarily Gondorians, known for their valor and dedication to protecting their realm from the encroaching darkness of Mordor. The city is also home to the ruling Stewards of Gondor, who have governed in the absence of a king. The population includes soldiers, craftsmen, scholars, and common folk, all contributing to the city’s vitality and defense. The tactical importance of Minas Tirith cannot be overstated. As the chief city of Gondor, it is the focal point of defense against the forces of Sauron. Its position on the Anduin River serves as a critical point for controlling trade and military movements. The city’s fortifications, from the Great Gate to the Citadel, are designed to withstand prolonged sieges. During the War of the Ring, Minas Tirith became the last bastion of hope for the Free Peoples of Middle-earth, exemplified during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. The history of Minas Tirith is rich and storied. Originally named Minas Anor, the city was founded by Anárion, one of the sons of Elendil. It was later renamed Minas Tirith, meaning "Tower of Guard," to reflect its role in guarding against the rising threat of Mordor. The city has seen numerous conflicts, from skirmishes with the Haradrim to major sieges by the forces of Sauron. Its walls have withstood the test of time, and its people have shown remarkable resilience in the face of adversity. During the climax of "The Lord of the Rings," Minas Tirith becomes the epicenter of the struggle between good and evil. The city’s defense during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, aided by the arrival of the Riders of Rohan and the Army of the Dead led by Aragorn, marks a turning point in the war. This victory, coupled with the destruction of the One Ring, ushers in a new era of peace and the restoration of the line of kings with Aragorn’s coronation. Minas Tirith stands as a testament to the enduring spirit and bravery of its people. Its strategic location, formidable defenses, and rich history make it a central pillar in the narrative of Middle-earth. The city embodies the themes of hope, resilience, and the relentless struggle against darkness that are core to Tolkien's works.
Unfortunately the BFME games are all locked at 30 FPS, so strictly speaking I play at 30 FPS. I use a process called optical flow frame interpolation in post production to bring the final video up to 60 FPS.
Beautiful work brother.
Thank you so much 😀
I used to play this way back then with my friends and it was so much fun
Me too! I’m glad I can still play it, even though it takes a little work to get it running right.

@@LetsBFME Good to know! I've been playing this game a ton recently vs brutal AI. In 2.02 they're ACTUALLY Brutal to beat. Op as hell lol

I completely agree! Although, sadly, licensing and legal issues will likely make that impossible.
Why did you not train dunedain rangers from the start?😂
