Can’t wait to see the Sea of Rhun light up light a Christmas Tree! It’ll be satisfying to see the golden boys soon. One thing I wanted to mention, I think at one point the script said in order to train chariots you need to capture Stondost and Cara’s Sant only. I’m pretty sure you’ll need Sant Annui as well but time will tell. Also curious to see the Khandiah units. I feel like if they go good and you take their starting regions you could train those units listed in the waystation. Again time will tell but this’ll be a fun watch for sure👌🏻
That Elgaer fight was peak EPM and very clutch....this campaign is going to steamroll...once you max out, Mistrand, Enmahadh and Matteram are all going to be 10k....you should be able to assemble some pretty epic golden armies within the first 100 turns. Maxing out the pop growth traits of whomever governs Neburkah would be in interesting exercise in the Sea of Rhun's full potential.
The Elgaer fight is the type of fight that everyone forgets quickly but once won the early game becomes a lot easier. Hard battle that I have no right winning, eco isn't yet rolling and if I lose is going to set me back many turns meaning I'm not ready for Dorwinion when they arrive. Flow on effect from that battle is huge.
Do you start with trade agreements with Mordor and Khand? If not could be worth getting another diplomat and sending him south. Also that huge mercenary pool will be ideal if you need to take Lest from Dorwinion.
Speaking about the watchtowers reminded me,some madman did make a "submod" for DaC which adds watchtowers to all regions so you have visibility on the entire region from the get-go,not save-compatible iirc but something to keep in mind for the next playthrough?
Nah, I think it makes sense that some factions start with towers and others do not. As for regions that start neutral it wouldn't makes any sense to make towers all over them. I'm happy to work hard to put them out.
hey man i think the dragon script said the diplomat should be in the 'realm of dale' region in one of the messages. thats the region with dale in it. maybe the message saying esgaroth is incorrect?
Well damn, I don't want to move the diplomat since I'd be concerned it would reset the timer. I've had many people in live stream tell me it is there it just takes a long time. If it still hasn't happened in a few videos I might send another one up there to stand in dale as well.
I say we push into the dwarves. The dwarves will be the second largest threat next to Dorwinion with everyone buffed the dwarves should be beating the snow orcs into submission, plus your at war with them. Let Dorwinion and Dol gouldor wear each other out and gather forces northward instead of fighting Dorwinion for now.
Defeat in detail. Dorwinion needs to be heavily reduced otherwise they will spam me forever since they started next to me they'll have big bonuses. They also have very profitable economic lands. Dwarves are an easy fight even late game. I have plenty of cav and ap units. They don't have cav or decent archers which is easy to deal with.
@@epmtotalwar but it would weaken Dol Gouldor or mordor while a war with the dwarves would strengthen the snow orcs who are fighting the buffed up factions.
I don't think it's worth it pushing into the dwarves first. Those regions in the east are massive and it takes a long time to walk over there. Plus, you'd also border Dale sooner than you'd like and you'd have to fight three factions instead of two. And, both Wintirion Iaur and Rhûbar are castles and easier to defend while you build up your economy. It's easier to focus on one faction than at three. I'd consider it worthwile if AI factions weren't so incompetent when you're allied to them. DAC V6 will hopefully amend that and make a strategy like yours better.
@@shorkan1000 yeah but I suggest going to the East because the AI is incompetent plus attacking the dwarves pits you closer to Dale's core regions and stops the snow orcs from being steam rolled because the dwarves for the first time ever are fighting back. As Dol Gouldor and Mordor in the state of the game now are so broken that even with all the nerfs are still going to live.
Let's golden boy go unleashed , btw TMP can i try submod EUR ( add additional trups to almost all fraction , give adisional ring script i belive and on version 2.0 will be additiona 2 new fraction ofl goblin and elven frdtion) on DaC V5 , can u try this or version 2 ?
Unfortunately, I really don't think it is. I don't think anything in gaming is an unhinged as that EL script. Grave robbing Dwarves > Dragon loving Humans.
Great start to the new campaign
Managed to watch this one live. Looking forward to seeing this one develop.

Yeah, I have a hunch it's also Sant Annui as well.
Lest independent garrison: !!!
Varfest independent garrison: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Varfest so strong they should replace Anduin Vale as a playable faction.
If it wasn't so true that would be funny.

Cant wait to see how this campaign develops! And hopefully Caras Sant doesn't get retaken 9 times like they did in the ND one XD.
I think I'd have to hang up the boots if it got retaken 9 times.
2:07:58 my favorite moment in the campaign so far 😄
Just back away very very slowly, no one make eye contact or sudden moves.
Reagent spearguard can be recruited with Avari if we remember.
Goldy Boiz ftw

Yes I do start with trade. Yes the mercenaries will be huge. Far-Rhun Mercs for everyone!

The dark shrines give you spawned garrison troops, don't they? (at tier 2-3 at least)
I don't think so, the only building that gives spawned garrisons is the garrison building.

There's nothing stopping you from playing it. I'm still enjoying the base mod. When I'm done with that I'll consider submods.
Auto resolve? Gambler!
I hope the dragon artifact script is as unhinged as the murder incest axe
