Loved this game for years even after the main servers were shutdown, so funny hearing all these voice clips again. Every faction was awesome and had cool benefits of their own.
Can't say it was balanced this video is a proof for that. Main hero is a tank and weapon of mass destruction at the same time. I used to have exactly the same build for it.
:D I'm glad that someone still plays this game. I've never been able to beat something like this when surrounded by the enemy team. I usually get rushed down.
Juanito would probably survive at 58:25 if you used the power Rallying call (5 points). Its a pity you never use it, its actually good. Anyway congrats on the win!
Been trying to complete every single map in brutal diff or hard if not able. My experience has told me its a los easier to face multiple AIs in brutal rather than just 1 or 2 because they "steal" space for building, so they cant expand properly and gain an advantage in resources. When facing only 1 brutal AI, it grows faster than a fly's interest in your dogs shit. It will always outbuild you and spam armies constantly, by 5 or 10 min its already sending 2 catapults, with heroes and tons of infantry.
Use heroes only. For the Men of the West, first thing you do is Eomer; then follow with Eowyn and Theoden. And your custom hero, of course. Then follow those with Boromir, Faramir, Aragorn and finally Gandalf. After that, make full arrow towers for all add ons of your fortress, and fully upgrad it. Then add a second fortress and fully upgrade it, then a fully upgraded third, forth and fifth. Keep ALL heroes on foot, and use all their powers (automate all powers that can be automated) and all palantir powers. For elves, start with Arwen, Haldir, Glorfindel, Elrond, Thranduil and finally Legolas (take your custom hero as soon as possible too) For Dwarves, take Gloin, Bard, King Dain, Gimli. For Goblins, start with Goblin King, Azog, Shelob and the Dragon. For Mordor, it's that orc captain, the Mouth of Sauron and then the Nazghuls For Isengard, Lurtz, Grima, the Warg rider hero and Saruman. I can beat ANY amount of AIs on Brutal on ANY map with heroes "only" (heroes and a ton of fully upgraded fortresses). To make things easier, add as many of the "mini heroes" units as possible (the 2 noldor battalions for elves, the Nazghuls riders for Mordor, the Deathbringers for Isengard and so forth). It's easy... It will be an insane fight, but it's pretty manageable. And you'll have tons of fun throwing spears from Eomer and Eowyn into catapults, or Bard's black arrows into Mumakils and so forth. Just make sure to use your powers property against the right targets
One of my all time favourite games! The graphics were amazing at the time it was released and the gameplay was and still is amazing. This guy is handling self very well against tough opponents so I know he is a true player of this game. This video brought some good memories 👍🏻👊🏻
If I could find how many hours I played this game all these years ago including the witch king expansion and bfme 1 I’d probably be beyond 5000 hours wow this brings back way too many great memories if only I still had the discs
Bro, what is that costum hero build :O He literally solos everything and takes no damage. Infantry, buildings, enemy heroes, nothing deals good damage to him, and he destroys everything with a few hits
Phenomenal defense fending off the constant heavy attack. Ur elf hero was well built and OP. Only advice i would give is this: don’t use Ghosts, hurricanes, and archers against structures, they have no effect. Use it only against troops.
Absolutely not; catapults would have totally decimated the defenses from distance. Shrinking into a tiny place is never a good option. Also, a combined attack would destroy it too. This worked well because the attacks were not coherent.
My favorite game of all time. Still have the disc and box after all these years. I would have recommended leading with the earthquake, sending in army of the dead against mobs not structures, then Rohirim while the army drew fire. Also, target order would have been take out what's killing you before anything else if possible, and don't stand in one place while catapults are raining down.
I don’t know what people where expecting when they clicked this video? 1 v. 7brutal! Of cause there is some cheese going on, but it’s delicious cheese to watch. So… good job man 😂👍
I've never even asked myself if it is possible to beat 8 Brutal, because it seemed so insane to me. I replayed the game 2 years ago, and the best I could do was take down 2 Hard I think.
Actually it gets easier the more AI you play against, because they cannot expand due to not enough room and so they never reach their full power. Vs one or two, they will reach immense power.
You can play without a CD: forums.revora.net/forum/2378-battle-for-middle-earth-series/ Get the Age of the Ring mod for the game after isntall. So worth it: www.moddb.com/mods/the-horse-lords-a-total-modification-for-bfme/tutorials
Nice, you could go into more archers and less towers from the start I guess. Was loving compstomps in my time where servers were alive and well. Favorite map nanduhirion. It's way harder without custom hero, yet is a bit easier with elves. Also worst as enemy are goblins and elves cause range of mountain giants and treants makes it horrific experience. It is also bad vs human and angmar for trebuchet reasons. Anyway, wp.
nicely done! I've tried this too but in ROTWK is really impossible because they nerfed the towers and made Brutal even harder. Towers are so damn busted in BFME2
My Dad and I had to get mods to increase the difficulty of even the brutals because we were able to mindlessly wipe full maps no matter what stupid crap we tried. I still have the original box with all 5 or 6 CDs for the install.
@@BlurredBerryGaming ya unfortunately its impossible now to get the 2 elves that have the extra dmg passive cuz there isn't pvp anymore. I also am playing it xbox 360 feels bad man lol
There is a full hd mod for this game my friend if youre not intrested in mods maybe youl would like it. İt doesnt change anything other than the graphics

Builder: How many towers do you want ?
Juanito: YES
its a plesure to see someone playing a classic game like this on a Niveau like this. Thanks for this gameplay
If he build more farms (west/east) he would have beat them a lot faster.
:D I'm glad that someone still plays this game. I've never been able to beat something like this when surrounded by the enemy team. I usually get rushed down.
When I see the Elven Archer custom hero I know what's going to happen and how windy is it going to be.

Man the selfmade heros are so broken. I love it.
LMAO that was some crazy stuff with the Ring popping right next to your castle.

There’s an all in one mod on the moddb site!

But beware, you just might become addicted!

Ya hehe, the hero from the beginner is a bit OP.
Lack of heroic statues next to the towers was bothering me a lot
That custom Hero is cracked, man. XD
One of my favorite parts about this game.
Where are the Mordor catapults?
The number of huge errors made in the first 3 minutes and you still somehow managed to win
Yes😅
One of the most fun strategy game. Wish there was 3
They are working on battle for middle earth: reforged

It's been years since I played this, but I don't ever remember rangers being this good.

oh my god, last time i played it was probably in 2011,it was great games and great times...wish it never ends
Archers taking out catapults I can't 😂
it s about to where you build. Usually height affects this, sometimes some maps got tricks.
as a lotr fan i love this game. well done man
this video should have more views
Agreed
I legit used the exact same create a hero in this game. He’s almost busted with how effective he is.
Juanito soloing entire mordor and sauron what an op champ
Very lucky to have ring so soon and on your side of the map! I was sceptic with your challenge but the one ring changes it all. Well done mate
I was able to see one of the towers he built from my window. I wonder if he keeps building...
I have to take my hat off to you sir. That was non stop micro managing from minute 1.
GG. Commanding Eomer to the archer towers in defence mode will level him pretty quickly up and you will earn money for each kill by the archers soon.
Juanito did an awesome job
The Witch King: No man can defeat me
A Tower: I am no man!
Didn't know that this game is a "tower defense" :)
Where can one now get/download this game in 2023? I was an avid play back in the day and would love to get back into it. 😊
Did you ever find out how to get this?
If you had taken Eomer with your hero you could have taken advantage of his passive and obtained resources from the deaths. Greetings from Argentina!
You're right! I did that in some of the other videos. Also in the one where I go against 7 bots without custom heroes. Thank you for watching! :)
