    Upon seeing the title: "Oh no, please tell me Adrahil didn't die. Or Imrahil. Not another tragic demise of a custom general..."
    "Oh, it's just that random guy. No big deal."
    But yes, as you said, you're beginning to see the challenge of Dol Amroth. Pushing to take out either Harad or the Ar-Adunaim leaves an ever-lengthening flank exposed to the other, with Khand a constant additional threat who will almost always attack you until/unless they side with the Blue Wizards. And with the high price tag of Dol Amroth's units, it is quite difficult to field sufficient forces for two or three different fronts until you've built up a substantial economic base. One thing that I've found playing Dol Amroth is that, despite the expense of ships, naval superiority is often an important ingredient to their success. Sea control can allow you to reinforce your far-flung armies more rapidly, and open the door to damaging and lucrative hit-and-run raids along the enemy coast (give those barbarous AA a taste of their own medicine).

    This is the third let's play with Dol Amroth you have done, including the first one which was barely a let's play. So the people claiming you have done four are incorrect.
    Also the last one was with v2 before it was even released way before a lot of changes, like the introduction of the Ar-Ardunaim and the Khand Istari script and after a lot of unit changes for Dol Amroth and their enemies.
    In my opinion it's not at all to early for a new Dol Amroth campaign.

  • @MadsBoldingMusic
    @MadsBoldingMusic 4 роки тому +11

    The thing about trade that is hard to quantify upon review is the way settlements affect one another. Building a port in a town will increase the trade that other towns are able to get from that town, but this doesn't really show up in the projected profits of the settlement. As a rule, trade is incredibly powerful in this game - its effect almost always exceeds projections in my experience.

    I am glad you are now rethinking the difficulty level of Dol Amroth from the faction overview. A tip I can suggest to cut off the Ardinium from being a thorn. If you take the 3 admirals you have and park them at all the possible crossing points at the mouth of the Harnin. They can not cross over to Gobel Mirlond.

  • @AlejandroGarcia-qs2km
    @AlejandroGarcia-qs2km 4 роки тому +18

    You should put only one crossing from southern side of "Mouth's of the Anduin" on first island and either Barad-Harn or that other settlement Tirithoros or how it's called on top of it so they have some strategic value. They could be Trafalgar of Anduin rather than some generic settlements. It would give more options when playing as either Dol Amroth or Harad, Khand or Ar-Adunaim.
    Maybe even make it a castle or even better Stronghold or a Fortress so if you lets say lose it as Dol Amroth enemy gets powerful recruiting centar very close to your homeland which can make it harder campaign or easier if you hold it. Right now you're forced to rush everyone and it's very linear. Could maybe just hold there and go help Gondor deal with mordor if you want which would being interesting twist to Dol Amroth campaign.

  • @Uberdude6666
    @Uberdude6666 4 роки тому +9

    Moving Tirithoros to guard the actual strait is a great idea! I feel like that should be the function of that province, and is a great way for Gondor and Dol Amroth to resist the three-way hurdle from the south a bit better.
    Also how exactly does Imrahil's larger bodyguard work? I know that 77 men is the largest number a bodyguard-unit can replenish to, but if he is Royal Swan guard, maybe he will not respawn to a larger number than the standard royal swan guard-size, and the extra men he has at the start is a one off?

    • @clemensthauer2755
      @clemensthauer2755 4 роки тому +3

      Bodyguard sizes are determined by "Personal Security", which generals can increase through certain traits and ancillaries. Being the faction heir gives a huge bonus to PS, that's why Imrahil's bodyguard will replenish beyond the 13/14/15 men of regular generals. The hard cap of 77 does apply regardless, although I think the DaC team made cavalry bodyguards cap out before that in general due to balancing reasons. :)

Use the ones with the best admirals or with the large ship numbers.

    Speaking of music, I do occasionally have audio related issues myself. Occasionally the music will be replaced by a crackling/static sound, followed by a minute or two of silence, followed by music continuing as normal. This usually only happens after I've been playing for a while. I only have this occur on DaC, so I'm hoping it's not foreshadowing the death of one of the components inside my PC.

      Ah great (for my PC at least). I'll make a note to post a message on the Discord, but for completeness I'll say here too...
      The audio issues occur on the campaign map when playing as the Northern Dunedain. I have a feeling the song after the crackling is usually Leilianna's song from Dragon Age, but that relies on trusting my memory and assumes there's no song shuffler.

    turn 50 is rolling around, Ar Adunaim put their heir, ruler, and general on a boat, along with their entire army, sailed to tolfalas, and got sunk, leading to the faction's untimely demise.
    Gondor is getting steamrolled by all 9 nazgul (theres a theme there every time I play anyone else other than gondor, you might want to restrict the Nazgul's deployment across the board, otherwise gondor loses too fast)
    overall 8/10, supply runs out too fast for generals so it's just a negative modifier to expansion, and gondor gets steamrolled far too quickly.

    Galu, if you'd like to, I would very much like to be kept abreast of what you think of the AIs available (I imagine you're still using the older one you mentioned in the previous episode).
    Also, er, I don't quite know what you were thinking of sending only Istion and two accompanying units across the Mouths of Anduin (aside from 'ooh fort, free upkeep!'). But then, I do tend to play very conservatively, which probably isn't nearly as exciting. ;o) But to my conservative sensibilities, Barad Harn, Titrithoros and that fort across the mouth seem like traps until you have a sufficient force to at least repel what enemy forces might come to face you. Beacons for the enemy to focus on, not easy to reinforce.
    Sacking Barad Harn is an option, though, although I am not sure whether that is worth it. My gut would suggest raiding the Harnen at a later date instead, but I suppose it depends on how easy it is to take Barad Harn as opposed to taking settlements along the Harnen. Plus going that far south requires more of a seperate defensive force at home.

My ideea its a 4 turn for militia, 6 for pre barracks units, 10 turns for post barracks units and 14 turns for elite units, this is for human nations, how human can train their troops, orcs 2,4,8,12, dwarfs 4,8,12,16, elfs 6,10,14,18

    Why bother killing rebels. Let your enemies waste their forces on them, use the time to raise your strength and when they reach you hit them hard and take their cities.

    Galu unless you don't want to make a campaign playlist than most of your campaigns 3 years ago are lost like angmar and the dol amroth campagin I never knew until I decided to go back 5 years ago watching your angmar campaign then I stumbled in the bree and rhun campagin and I thought this guy never made a dol amroth campaign but boom there it was so unless you mean like overviews or covers or developer diaries than you don't have everything playlisted

    Galu, I really enjoy watching your videos, but please pay more attention to the game. It showed that Istion will have to fight to death before the battle. Also you could move him to fort or sth before ending turn. But not to be too whiney, battle was good, you could go for the archers more but whatever, they paid more than half of their army to win.

      I knew he would die, I was surprised to see I could still withdraw though. I knew before going in that he couldn't withdraw on the campaign map but I took a chance when it showed I could withdraw on the battle map. It didnt pay off.
