See, that is interesting, I much preferred the closed castles of the first game then the eco spread across the map in the second game. Thank you for sharing!
The modders did amazing work with this project! Also have to give credit to the games engine itself, the amount of interactions and physics in it are amazing. The way units can go flying from artillery, react to fire and swooping flyers is just beautiful in a brutal way. Would have been interesting to see how far this technology could have been pushed.
I know, right? The game had so many elements, but it did always get on my nerves because of those slow motion animations. But the way these devs put on a new skin on it so expertly makes me want to play a lot more of it.
You seem to sound a bit sick, so if that is indeed the case I wish you a swift recovery (or Good Bettering how we would say in Germany). I am very happy to have discovered your channel a while ago, as you are catering to my main gaming preferences. I just wish I was a child again, even if I sucked at those games back then, I had all the time in the world to enjoy what we now know to be the golden age of RTS
Hi, yes, my entire household had a virus of some sort during the holidays. We are better now, thank you! Hehe, we are all RTS children inside :) Loving our genre even when it doesn't have much love from investors and publishers. What are you playing these days?
@@perafilozof I had a real blast playing AoM Retold last year, really got to reexperienced some of that wonder I felt during my childhood while playing the original. Apart from that I always go back to AoE 2 DE (as I did HD before that). But apart from that I don't really play any "true" RTS anymore. I regularly play some of the PDX games, Stellaris, HoI4 and CK3. As well as the Total War Warhammer games. None of my friends play RTS and for me there is two core aspects of RTS that I value and that I need for long term fun: singleplayer (or Coop) campaign and playing with friends against AI. (Playing with friends against AI can also mean one person playing a single player game and the other one sitting next to the player. We used to do that a lot as kids) I am however waiting for later this year when I will have more time than currently and get Sins of a Solar Empire 2 at that point, however as like 90% of my playtime of game 1 was with friends back in the day I am not sure how much staying power that will have as well.
Thank you for the reply. I totally get your problem, I had only a few friends that would ever play RTS games and that was even in the golden days. At least these days you can connect to anyone on the planet and play multiplayer with them. On my own discord there are many gamers who love to play RTS games with each other in PvE and PvP.
Wow this looks like such a cool mod I can't wait for them to implement the campaigns! Thank you for highlighting it! I want to ask you an unrelated question, have you tried the rts game five nations? I got it during the steam winter sale and have yet to play it as I'm currently traveling 😅
Hi and thx for the comment, glad you like the video and the mod. Yes, I played Five Nations a bit. It is a bit strange with 2D space combat but it plays so close to the 90's gameplay that I felt right at home.
Great mod! Dont hesitate to try another mod for Rotwk: Age of the Ring, one of the most complete and beautiful mod for this game. 11 factions and a big custom campaign following the story of lotr. The last chapter will come this year I hope
@@perafilozof there's a Minecraft mod that completely converts the game into an RTS. Not a mod for an already existing RTS, a mod for Minecraft itself. The survival block game.
@@perafilozof not sure what articles you're referring to, unless they're talking about... Minecraft Legends. We don't talk about Minecraft Legends. The mod I'm talking about is called Reign of Nether, a reference to Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos
@@hypermaeonyx4969 Oh? well, than we are definitely talking about different things! Can you refer me to where I can read / see more of the mod you are talking about?
@@perafilozof You're welcome :) Sad this game is hard to find nowadays. At least as a digital copy (since my computer does not have a disc drive anymore)
@@perafilozof Oh I know but you quickly get in the illegal territory along with the issues linked to old games with drivers and all when you have a new card. Why can't they just release old games and realize it's part of history and part of our heritage? I always wished video games had more recognition, especially towards older games.
I have been trying for over a decade to be able to play the battle for middle earth 2. Can't find it actually sold and even arg editions fail. I did own a copy of the title, however since it's loss, I have been unable to find a copy that will run. I do use Linux but I assume such old software would have support.
@@perafilozof tried myabandonware on 3 different windows systems (with the help of a friend) and 2 linux systems all to no avail. I do have high hopes for the all in one launcher, however a healthy amount of skepticism as a seed for caution. Thanks!! =D
Hi and thx, I have it on my list of things to do. People give it too much grief for not using the main universe as the setting and for the way its combat works. But I think it is an amazing game.
Ok... do you mean once the best/last hero of the Skyrim's faction is leveled up he can transform into a dragon? If that is so, I definitely missed that.
@asrael5022 Ah! See that is very interesting, because a few times when I tried to get the scroll to the HQ nothing happened. Is it just something that only works for the Skyrim faction?
@@perafilozof for Skyrim and Dominion as far I know IT works Like that, Empire I don't know and for Morrowind IT gives one of the three Most expensive heroe His Level 10 ability, without needing to level, which I think should BE reworked, the heroe should get all His abilities buffed.
The link to this amazing project is in the description and do tell me your favorite memories from playing Skyrim or LOTR : Battle for Middle Earth!
I played a LOT of LOTR back in 2007/2008. Even the first one in 2004, but the 2 was much better imho.
See, that is interesting, I much preferred the closed castles of the first game then the eco spread across the map in the second game. Thank you for sharing!
lol i was now going to say isnt this not battle for middle earth? never understood why they didnt continue that game.
Because the idiots at EA didn't have vision. Only greed! Thx for the comment, now go and play this amazing project!
Yeah the game is great.
This is so amazing, now I am waiting for an RTS in the Fallout Universe
That would be the day! Thx for the comment!
there's a mod for hoi 4 fallout old world blues.
@@draksaan I mean is cool and all that but I wan an RTS, no Grand Strategy, nonethless thanks for telling
@@rexturbo10I feel you man we all wanna see fallout get that halo wars treatment 🥲
If only Bethesda didn’t have elders scrolls in a Vice grip ah if only.
They can always outsource. To some of these talented modders for example! Thank you for the comment

This is great, love the video!
Thank you kindly for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it! Do play the mod and have fun!
Wow I cant believe its been ported to battle for middle earth already?! What a time to be alive indeed!
Exactly! Go and enjoy it! Links are in the description its easy to set up. Mostly automated.
@perafilozof will do mate! But got to install BFME II again for this gem!
Officially my go to channel for anything RTS!
Hehe, have fun! And thank you kindly!
This looks awesome, I would say I'd want a dedicated Elder Scrolls RTS but this is probably better then what Bethesda would make 😆
It sure would be better since if Bethesda made it it wouldn't even lunch for the first few weeks :)
These modders need to host crowd funding and make their own game!
I agree! I would be the first to help them out!

Hello and thank you for the recommendation. I will check it out!
We got a Minecraft RTS, now we have an ELDER SCROLLS RTS!
The Age of Mods and RTS games is now!!!!
Ha? What Minecraft RTS? Also, thank you for the comment
@@perafilozof there's a Minecraft mod that completely converts the game into an RTS.

Not since I took that arrow to the knee :)
Oh, so cool!
It is, go and play it :)
Wow, didnt expect this. Time to install Bfme again.
That it is! Enjoy!
Modders are often fun and always insane ! lol
That they are :) Thx for the comment!
@@perafilozof You're welcome :) Sad this game is hard to find nowadays. At least as a digital copy (since my computer does not have a disc drive anymore)
Abandonware is where you start your search and than Moddb for the All-in-one-Launcher. From there new mods.
@@perafilozof Oh I know but you quickly get in the illegal territory along with the issues linked to old games with drivers and all when you have a new card. Why can't they just release old games and realize it's part of history and part of our heritage? I always wished video games had more recognition, especially towards older games.
Not sure what illegal territory you mean as millions of people play all sorts of games that are no longer available in other ways.
Yeeees ! If there is now an Elder Scrolls mod for aoe 2 i am not leaving my PC for months
Hehe, some modder somewhere is probably working on one :)
I have been trying for over a decade to be able to play the battle for middle earth 2. Can't find it actually sold and even arg editions fail. I did own a copy of the title, however since it's loss, I have been unable to find a copy that will run. I do use Linux but I assume such old software would have support.

Go and play :) Enjoy!
Amazing just amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Tell me about it! Imagine if Bethesda had these modders make an actual game !
@perafilozof that would be even better than the base game🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you review Terminator rts game. Why those game got bad review.
Hi and thx, I have it on my list of things to do. People give it too much grief for not using the main universe as the setting and for the way its combat works. But I think it is an amazing game.
@perafilozof ah so that's why. Thanks
They dont have??
@@riufqif you like men of war / Gates of hell you will love that game aswell.
check out skyrims elder scroll heroe, it´s also a dragon.
Ok... do you mean once the best/last hero of the Skyrim's faction is leveled up he can transform into a dragon? If that is so, I definitely missed that.
@@perafilozof no you have to deliver the scroll to the fortress and then you can recruite him.

is bethesda missing out on making an elder scrolls RTS ? yes
would i trust them to be capable of doing it? .... ... heck no!
Hehe. Correct on both counts :) Thx for the comment!
