    Your previous ered luin campaign was a thing of legend. I laughed so hard at your reaction but mad respected you for not save scumming it like any other sane man would.

    Nice start to a new campaign. Only half way through it. Looking forward to your use of artillery. Great memories from previous wall destroying 😂

    Another rebel army thats around here somewhere. Good times. You spent about 10 turns looking for that other army in your high elves campaign.

      Funny how something happening once burns into the memory. Forever more that army will be known as the one that hides even if 99 times out of 100 they show exactly where they are.

    I found you channel this year, so I haven’t watched to old campaign, but the warg reference really makes me want to… and I’m at the point were your about to fight the village with three wargs in it… let’s see how it goes!

    I know a way to bring down Gor.... Ballista towers!

  • @94korre
    @94korre 19 днів тому +1

    Ballistas are imo also very useful when defending. I use them a lot in my Erebor campaign. Each defending siege they get like 400-ish kills per unit + the fire drops morale pretty good. The catapults do have a nice crunchy sound though hehe

  • @Phoenix12157

    Yeah with Ered Luin I always turtle and horde before I start rolling out and taking settlements.
    No one really attacks you for several turns so I take advantage of it.

    • @epmtotalwar
      @epmtotalwar  14 днів тому +2

      @Phoenix12157 A viable option but a bit slow for others to watch. I think I opened like that in my Erebor campaign but there are less immediate neutral settlements so it doesn't feel as detrimental.

  • @peterhe6699
    @peterhe6699 19 днів тому +3

    They may give you time before the elves show up, but as much as I'd like to see the catapult commit some war crimes on the level of the Canadians I say just have a bunch of troops recruited instead your dwarves so it may take all battle to kill all the dwarves especially in a chokepoint heavy settlement like Thorin's halls.

    • @epmtotalwar

      I was going to try to get them but I need the tier 2 blacksmith to build it. I don't think I can afford to spend those turns building blacksmith at this point.

      I'm not sure 'thinly stretched' quite does the situation justice. All my dwarves are too busy mining.

      That's the start of every EPM campaign.
      EPM during an Elven playthrough paraphrased: "Alright we're going to empty all of Lindon and Rivendell and go on offense with 7 units of Elves."

  • @zackc3767
    @zackc3767 19 днів тому

    The funniest outcome is to take the Dwarven rings and then destroy the One Ring thus taking away the Dwarven rings' power.

    • @epmtotalwar
      @epmtotalwar  18 днів тому +2

      This just reminded me of something I was going to do. Just booted back up the Lothlorien save file and checked the Elven ring after destroying the One ring. It still has effects so destroying the one didn't make null and void the others.

    evil bree is more isolationist bree and doesn't kkickk off until turn 70ish so you have plenty of time to claim all of the southern territory and have good defensive settlements at tharbad and suduri and in my campaign the Dunedain were actually pushing and I got the rangers flourish message before I made the choice. I stayed with them then they started losing to angmar so they may get a slight buff until the choice

    • @epmtotalwar
      @epmtotalwar  19 днів тому +3

      Remember I'm deliberately hamstringing myself to make it harder, I don't think I'll be anywhere near Suduri and Tharbad by turn 70.
