I Loved the battle for middle earth, the fact that if you saved Boromir, you could use him through out the rest of the campaign, he had special dialog, it was so epic.
Dude I figured that out by accident lol, I figured once I did actually get there to save him, it would cut to the scene where he dies, nope, and he is such an OP hero lol. I used to use Legolas to clear whole armies by himself, once they get too close, run away with Legolas and once far enough start shooting again, repeat till dead. Boromir is the one you have defending your castle, by himself, and he will clear full armies, by himself. Those 2 heroes were insane
Hey man I strongly recommend Age of the ring, a complete overhaul for BFME2 with improved graphics, campaign..completely free and 100% working, just amazing.
0:42 Battle for Middle-earth 2:54 Lord of the rings realms in exile 4:08 Third age 5:17 Rise of mortal 6:20 Battle for Middle-earth reforged 6:58 Kingdoms of Arda
@@AndysTake It’s a complete overhaul of Rise of the Witch King. Bringing back the base system from the first game. But on top of that it revamps and adds entirely new factions, units, heroes, maps, powers, and so on. They also updated and brought in voice lines and soundtracks directly from all six movies. The dwarves alone have 3 sub factions. Before building you choose Iron Hills, Erebor or a third I cant remember but that changes your units.Lothlorian can build Mirkwood outpost and gain access to those units and heroes from the Hobbit movies. I could go on and on but you should check it out! Amazing mod, lots of work put in it.
@@AndysTake definitely check out Age of the Ring then as well also a mod off the expansion Rise of the Witch King. The quality is imo better there then in edain
Age of the ring is another. It has a campaign which follows the movies, roughly. If you consider the hobbits and Aragon leading the Bree guards against the undead units and nazgul. It's not an easy mod since it also starts you at the first scene in the Fellowship of the Ring which is the battle scene and you have to fight Sauron, and defeat him. You get a big army but Mordor gets an infinite amounts of units. It's not crazy difficult but it sets the tone.
Battle for Middle Earth is great, has not aged badly at all, is highly moddable but it seems a bit forgotten, sadly. Great video, my man, very cohesive, and I'm glad to see you covering more things outside of Total War.
@@AndysTake Thanks to you for bringing new things to my attention, I didn't know about the CK3 mod, seems interesting to delve into a neglected aspect of Middle Earth: politics.
Actually I'm surprised at how BFME is still very popular. Both Edain mod and Age of the Ring mods have won mod of the year in moddb, and they have thousands of members in discord.
You forgot the two biggest mods for bfme2. Age of the ring(aotr) massive mod even was n1 in moddb 2020. Edain mod, has base building like bfme 1, was moddb n1 in 2018 or so. Both differents approachs but highly recomendations
For me it must me Third Age Total War Divide and Conquer. Not only did I start my youtube because of this amazing game but the community itself is amazingly supportive of creators! It's a pleasure to play the game while knowing that there is a dedicated fanbase to watch your videos!😊
We just need Middle Earth 3 with a more balanced unit system (especially regarding the catapults) and a ring wars with a server or online host system for many players!!
Divide and Conquer is ESSENTIAL if doing third age. It doesn’t just change the game, it fixes all the bugs and expands it to something far bigger and better than third age total war
So many of these are fan made... Just goes to show the passion they have. Which is why it's such an important thing to get them on your side for shows and movies, instead of mocking them.
Thank you so much for featuring me in your video! I'm honoured and these are great titles, wished there were more companies making more games in the LOTR universe What about Shadow of Mordor? :)
@@AndysTake Doesn't it include elements of strategy or is it a completely different system in that front? Do you see any new strategy games for LOTR coming in the future? And I feel very honoured man! Thanks again!!!!!
Just an update for anyone who doesn't know yet... The Rise of Mordor (RoM) has now been renamed "The Dawnless Days" and is now only available on Nexus Mods due to copyright issues, as far as I can remember.
Seeing bfme reforge where it's not even in a playable state and not seeing Age of the ring hurts. One of the best mods for BFME with a fantastic custom campaign
Forgot some of the big mods for TATW that get played more often than 3.2 at this point! Third age Reforged,Divide and Conquer, and Silmarillion:Total War
I think u did bfme 1-2 a little dirty. Playing the campaings and the main story is such a minute part of the game, the real value is in the skirmish mode, and more percisly online skirmish mode, suddenly the game is one of the most indepth rts strategy games. Also there are some insanly good mods which make the game look new and ads like 3 games worth of content
How incredible would it be to have a total war Lord of the rings mod from three kingdoms? The main appeal of that would be the dueling system of heroes, which would reflect pretty well with the duels and battles we see in the movies and books between majors characters and heroes.
so you pick out 2 games you cant actually play without a huge amount of hassle which are BFME & BFME2 i have both and they simply wont play from the discs.
Just wondering what your problem getting game to play is. I love those games but after I upgraded to win 10 I have not been able to get them to play despite trying various suggestions from forums around that time of win 10 coming out
how can I play Battle for Middle earth 1, 2 and the Rise of the Witch king expansion on a Windows 10 PC? I bought the anthology on Amazon a few years ago, it worked on my old XP laptop, but on all the low settings. I would like to play it on my new Windows 10 PC with better graphics card and a big screen... any help would be appreciated.
As much as I love (and loved) LotrBfM, Rise of the Witch-King has significantly better mods and is my preferred RTS for the setting right now. (Though of course BfME will still have the 'story' campaign in its favor.) To the strategy mod list, I think Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic's LotR mod is still a strong standard worth mentioning.
Have you ever played 'The Third Age' on Gameboy Advance? It hits differently from games like BFME, but it's still a very solid LOTR strategy game. The River Isen is such a fun level.
Hi, a couple of weeks age bfme launcher was released (bfme 1 supported for now, bfme 2 and rotwk soon) - you can download and autoupdate bfme via this launcher. Keys you can find on google!
I don't think developers realise how massive the fanbase for LotR is. There is a game coming out later this year I believe but it's about gollum and tbh doesn't look that good. If they could make a large scale game like bfme or maybe a RPG where you can pick your race, customise your character, and either join or fight against the fellowship, I think that would be bad ass
I'd love to see a lord of the rings game that gives you a complete freedom, for example to remake the kingdom of gondor at it's prime, or play as witch king fo angmar and go north to reform Kingdom of Angmar as a neutral faction to the war of the ring conflict, or the age of Kingdom of Eriador (later Rivendell area) led by Celebrimbor, to either accept sauron's gifts, and become his vassal or refuse and declare war onto him at his weakest, or the first age, the entire Arda world and the war of the Valar, and play as Melkor/Morgoth, or Eru, or start a valar rebellion, and be an enemy to Eru, Morgoth or Marwen (Morgoth's younger brother). People make mods for Third age but not Second or First, and personally i thing both Second Age and First Age are far more interesting than Third Age. In First Age Valar had nuclear magic/weapons In Second Age Numenor still existed. The closest to what i want ever, was Rise of the Witch King, i think so far, for a dlc the only Second Age game to ever be made.
Guardians of middle earth was really fun. It was on ps3, but then got shut down. It was a MOBA. The best moba ever. I really hope reforged comes to fruition soon. Its almost been 2 decades since I played bfme on my cousins pc. 😂 Nothing like it at all. No other game did what BFME did even after all these years.
first game is like who has cavalry first wins. in the secend part, it has changed a bit and the pickers are winning and smashing the Rohan cavalry into dust like nothing...Third age THE BEST mod ME ever created.... I finish is on galadriel side.. wood elfs and one time on mordor side... perfect... gaphics out dated but perfect... I wait on kingdoms of arda ( bannerlord mod) its look nice
I have battle for middle earth 1 and two on disk. However when I try to play the game it just comes up with the game logo and start up engine, then it crashes/ nothing happens. Any tips or help anyone can give me? I really wanna play this game again
What we need is an open world 2nd age arda where one can choose from: 1. Elf a. Noldor (cannot change hair length and color, can only choose from black, brown, red, and blonde) b. Teleri (cannot change hair length and color, can only choose from silver, grey, and blonde) b1. Falathrim b2. Sindar b3. Silvan b4. Laiquendi c. Avari (cannot change hair length and color, can only choose from black, brown, red, silver, grey, and blonde) 2. Man a. House of Beor (can choose from long hair to short hair but can only choose hair color from black, brown, red) b. House of Haleth (can choose from long hair to short hair but can only choose hair color from grey, silver, and black) c. House of Hador (can choose hair length but hair color is set to blonde and cannot be changed) d. Men who are not counted as edain (can choose any hair lenght amd hair color except grey, silver, and blonde) 3. Dwarf 4. Orc 5. Hobbit In this open world we can choose any of those characters, and be able to go to places such as Vinyamar, Gondolin, Nargothrond, Doriath, Nan Elmoth and all other forests, Dor Lomin and all other homesteads of men, Lothlorien and other eastern elvish settlements, Lindon, Tol Sirion, Ossiriand, Bay of Balar, Grey Havens, Kingdoms of Arnor, north and south, Mordor, Harad, Khand, Iron Hills, Moria and other Dwarven settlements, Mordor, Angband, and other Orcish and homesteads of Lesser men. In this game you can own a land and build your house or just live amonth the residents in well established kingdoms, castles, homesteads, palaces and the likes. You can choose as a Noldor and can access Gondolin but if you choose any other race then you can never enter Gondolin. Same as when you choose the Orc side you can only enter mordor and other places occupied by evil.
@@flameofthewest5119 I might give it a shot again, i have both games on disc but sadly they're quite damaged so i've tried this program that lets you make discs digitally but never got it to work
Hello, you can use BFME Launcher to download and autoupdate bfme1 (bfme 2 and rotwk soon) and then just look for keys on google - pretty easy to find :)
I started with bfme2 so idk bfme1 just seems like a lite version of 2 for me. Plus with the age of the ring mod it's just the ultimate game I always go back to and never uninstall. Favorite map with the mod is Osgiliath, in the original it looked like garbage but with the mod it looks and feels like the movie with boromir able to get his armor at a certain level and having the Ithilian rangers set up in strategic spots
I have to try age of the ring! I loved BFME2 as well, mate, but BFME just had that charm and faithfulness to the movies which I personally favour more.
Make sure to watch my 2022 REVIEW of SHOGUN 2 right here: ruclips.net/video/h0n4P_NFkSY/видео.html

Pride of the Dwarfes is one of my absolute favourite sountracks from BFME. Awesome you put it in :D
My whole childhood passed in front of my eyes within 2 minutes of the video...
Fourth Age Total War for the original RTW is also very good
Just an update for anyone who doesn't know yet... The Rise of Mordor (RoM) has now been renamed "The Dawnless Days" and is now only available on Nexus Mods due to copyright issues, as far as I can remember.
The nostalgia of waiting to get home from school to go on Battle for Middle Earth and continue the campaign.
Ah man true
Online play of bfme2 and rotwk is something unique and special in RTS genre
Seeing bfme reforge where it's not even in a playable state and not seeing Age of the ring hurts. One of the best mods for BFME with a fantastic custom campaign
Great video! I 100% Agree with all your picks and hopes. You got my Sub! (also love your dwarf mine music at end from BFME)

I think that The Last Alliance mod for shogun 2 deserves a mention too (with the map and 2nd age feel)
Very true, thank you for bringing it up!
I always liked the "Byzantine like" throne room in Minas Tirith. You can clearly see where the inspiration came from.
I think u did bfme 1-2 a little dirty. Playing the campaings and the main story is such a minute part of the game, the real value is in the skirmish mode, and more percisly online skirmish mode, suddenly the game is one of the most indepth rts strategy games. Also there are some insanly good mods which make the game look new and ads like 3 games worth of content
Could you send a link to a good mod guide? I’ve never done it.
I remember installing a mod for BFME2 called Nazgul's Special Extended Edition and that blowing my young mind. Wonder how that's rated nowadays
How incredible would it be to have a total war Lord of the rings mod from three kingdoms? The main appeal of that would be the dueling system of heroes, which would reflect pretty well with the duels and battles we see in the movies and books between majors characters and heroes.
what is this footage with the minatures in the intro? please tell me that's a game as well
Great review, yes TATW was awesome. KOA should be similar.
is there any information or links on The War of the Ring, rts similiar to warcraft 3. loved that game. highly underrated
You can combine realms in exile with the dawnless days total war mod to play out the battles in the atilla engine!
Where is the intro cinematic from?
Am a huge fan of lotr games
It's a shame how limited the distribution of the license is. So much unused potential. Bless them modders thou.
There is a Lord of the Rings mod for shogun 2 I think.
Where did you get the music from? Incredible choices
there's also a mod for troy total war in the works if i''m not mistaken. at least it is now, 1 year since the video was posted.
Rome remastered has a good lotr mod
Love the intro awesome 🤩
Troy will get a mod for lord of the rings.
Because you can put creatures in it.
i dont know is the reforhed still in progress or is it canceld no new news for a while
Realms in exile+crusader blade+kingdoms of arda= best game in history
Hahaha so true
this is a very old game, so where did u find a copy to play it i been looking
you should have added more mods for bfme 2 like edain or rotkw j wich adds thinsg like harad and rhun also what is the music in the end?
Hallo! Is Third Age Total War accesibel today from some retailer? Thanks
So just to be clear there is only 1 real game Battle for Middle Earth (series)? The rest are mods for other games, right?
I dont like total wars at all, the strategy and camera distance of battle for middle earth rise of the witchking is perfect
so you pick out 2 games you cant actually play without a huge amount of hassle which are BFME & BFME2 i have both and they simply wont play from the discs.
You can play both bfme and bfme2 for free even nowadays :)
Yeah same issue here. Still own the discs as well

In this open world we can choose any of those characters, and be able to go to places such as Vinyamar, Gondolin, Nargothrond, Doriath, Nan Elmoth and all other forests, Dor Lomin and all other homesteads of men, Lothlorien and other eastern elvish settlements, Lindon, Tol Sirion, Ossiriand, Bay of Balar, Grey Havens, Kingdoms of Arnor, north and south, Mordor, Harad, Khand, Iron Hills, Moria and other Dwarven settlements, Mordor, Angband, and other Orcish and homesteads of Lesser men. In this game you can own a land and build your house or just live amonth the residents in well established kingdoms, castles, homesteads, palaces and the likes. You can choose as a Noldor and can access Gondolin but if you choose any other race then you can never enter Gondolin. Same as when you choose the Orc side you can only enter mordor and other places occupied by evil.
Its already launched? The RTS one…
Age of the ring for bfme2 is the best mod for sure
Hmm seems to me someone should try this in total war warhammer
Bfme is not available to purchase so unplayable.
There are ways to get it but it isn't easy
@@wulfgraad3857 there is a very clear guide how to install it, and there are also plenty of tutorial videos on yt :)
@@flameofthewest5119 I might give it a shot again, i have both games on disc but sadly they're quite damaged so i've tried this program that lets you make discs digitally but never got it to work
Hello, you can use BFME Launcher to download and autoupdate bfme1 (bfme 2 and rotwk soon) and then just look for keys on google - pretty easy to find :)
@@Dimek oh wow many thanks, I'll look into it!
I thought bfme reforged was more based on the 2nd game
I started with bfme2 so idk bfme1 just seems like a lite version of 2 for me. Plus with the age of the ring mod it's just the ultimate game I always go back to and never uninstall. Favorite map with the mod is Osgiliath, in the original it looked like garbage but with the mod it looks and feels like the movie with boromir able to get his armor at a certain level and having the Ithilian rangers set up in strategic spots
I have to try age of the ring! I loved BFME2 as well, mate, but BFME just had that charm and faithfulness to the movies which I personally favour more.
@@AndysTake ah, I scratch that itch with the mod. It has fellowship story and two towers, idk if they're doing return of the king though
Where is the Warband mod...
The Last Days really is quite a gem in the MaB modding community
