In the year 2510 of the Third Age, Lord Eorl the Young of the éothéod and his men delivered the men of Gondor their victory at the Battle of the Field of Celebrant against the hordes of the Balcoth tribes of Rhûn. In exchange for their valiant charge Cirion, steward of Gondor gifted the lands of Calenardhon to Eorl and his people.
Now, almost 500 years later, the lands of Rohan are ruled by king Theoden from his seat at the Golden Hall of Meduseld in Edoras. The blood of the éothéod runs deep in our people, still. The men of Rohan are horsemen by all means. There are none who ride as swift and stout as the Rohirrim. And we have proven our worth on the battlefield on countless ocassions.
Despite the strength of our king and our people, a shadow now looms over Rohan. Our king has fallen ill and we hear troubling news from the men of Gondor stationed in Osgiliath. It seems that evil has taken root once more in the black lands to the east. Our scouts report raiding parties of orcs and goblins on the banks of the Anduin, and the fair lady Galadriel of Lothlórien has warned us of an evil stirring in the lands surrounding Amon Lanc.
There are some that claim that the illness of our King is a trick by the wizard Saruman, yet the white wizard has always protected and advised our people.
Never the less, we cannot sit by idly when our people and our lands are under threat, whether that be from the east or the west. The time has come to muster the rohirrim and prove once more why the kingdom of Rohan is the greatest realm in all of middle-earth.

Thank you for your patience - for the most part ;) - as this video is later than usual. I ran into some issues with uploading earlier today, so I decided to publish the Rhûn episode instead (as that one was ready to go). It seems it greatly upset some people that they'd have to exert a little patience. Remember that I can't please everyone, but I do try to. Be good people okay!
I'll be back to my regular schedule (if RUclips allows it...) from Monday onwards. Stay cool!
Oh goodness, you are to kind! we appreciate your lovely intros and humble moderation in where you involve us every time! meriadoc from 1978 riding into battle got us like: where in this whole world will you find someone like him! pls meriadoc be my hero
@@samdeyjuniorguruguru7178 The one true ship: Eowyn+Meriadoc.
I love how bold elfhelm is, riding down nazgul and camping in a swamp in front of the black gate
Elfhelm ran out of fucks to give!
I would totally vote for Moria just because of how hard it is to play with them.
If ar adunaim Wins. Then Fight for Revenge. Destroy Mordor , and their filfthy orcs. and burn white tree . The kings men do not bow to anybody. Race of numenor is shall be great again.
WE ARE THE AA AND WE ARE HERE TO DRINK YOUR BLOOD
Izzy, trying to explain what he’s going to do.
The music in the background: allow us to introduce ourselves
Lmao Chairn dwimmerlaik is upsetti spaghetti 😂
Nice battle against Harad! I am really enjoying these team-up battles. :)
You did throw away a potential regicide by first attacking the Serpent-Lord and only then attacking the Warlord. Oh well. Makes it more of a challenge.
Gleomer did good! Color me surprised! Anyway, that means you can push all those forces towards Mordor. They might have you stalemated, but the Dead Marshes* are earning their name. Lots of dead orcses! And while they are sending their armies against you, they are not able to push against Gondor. So you are winning anyway.
Breaking the Siege of Cair Andros would be good, though, since it seems that the Gondor AI is a bit stalemated there. It doesn't think it can win a sally-out with the garrison, while the Mordor besieging army doesn't think it can win an assault. Giving them a nudge would help. You might even consider sending a smaller army down there, whilst Elfhelm continues to defend Cairn Dwimmerlaik.
(* Dagorlad is actually farther east, north of the Black Gate.)
I have considered sending out a smaller force just to force Gondor to sally out, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get 'em in position without them getting gobbled up by a lone Orc army... Guess it's worth a shot though!
Dude i think you need to play the Ar- Adunaim but! Take of to Tharbad.
Best campaign for me ever second only to the time i did a even greater wildcard and went into Rhovanion with the Ar-Adunaim.
Also there is a small retexture submod for them that makes them look too cool.
I did an AA campaign back in V3 where I started in Mithlond! But it has been a while ago, and the AA has received some changes... I'll be sure to include them in the poll :)
Love that promise you’ve made!! I’ll keep watching and learn from your campaigns!!!
When using the palantir you could make it more realistic by adding a rule which is that you need a family member or a trusted general inside the settlements that hold the palantir and to make it more interesting you could restrict general adoptions. I personally think that it makes sense to do that as I don't know if you could trust something as valuable as palantir to a captain. Loving all this content Izzy, keep up the great work.
Good suggestion! I'll bear it in mind for the next campaign (updated house rules) :)
Do a full cav stack full of Lancers and knights under the command of king theoden
Ooooh angmar or dunland would be nice
Izzy, don't charge your cav against camel riders, they are an anti-cav unit, just like the wargs, pikemen and horse archers.
Yess hierop was ik aan het wachten :))
THE RISE OF THE FALLEN EVIL REALM OF ANGMAR
Don't forget you need Shield Maidens to take down War Beasts and Mumakil.
Hey, Izzy! Do you thing you will do a series with the Lord of The Rings Conquest? Sadly, the game is really expensive on Amazon.
I loved that game on the PlayStation, I'd like to feature it on the channel at some point yes :)
Is there a way to move unit cards around on the HUD in either battle or campaing maps? It annoys me when confuse my goblins for archers vs infantry.
In battle you can do it by grouping and ungrouping units (ungrouped unless still be moved to the back) - you'll see me do it fairly often.
On the campaign map you can only do it by splitting and combining armies :) hope that helps!
@@IzzyTotalWar Ah it is the manual way then. I thought you had a keyboard shortcut I was missing out on. Thank you Izzy!
You could attack Moria. Your army got some machines so you can immediatly assault the city, and stole it from the dwarves
Hmmm, perhaps I could take down those trolls... I'm gonna give it a think!
as we are in gondor I wonder how long they have bin waiting for us as I see gondor burn but slowly but shirly
They didn't bother to help us when the Westfold fell, yet that expect us to clean up their mess... Lazy!
Thinking about it both besieging Mordor armies are on bridges so possibly that's why Gondor isn't striking out to lift the siege as that would be bloody difficult. It could be a problem for you as well if you get the chance to try and lift the siege.
Made some comments before but you may not have seen them as I normally view the video and post late in the day.
a) The Lorn Daer possible threat from the AA has been mentioned and will be interesting to see if it occurs and if so at what strength. If you can defeat that then it could save the NE some pain as well as avoiding you losing a settlement. Think you could get it back but that the AA sack it so probably a fair bit destroyed and pop killed.
b) Now that Dol Guldur has fallen as a capital anyway what happened to their Nazghul? They might end up returning to Mordor which would be a pain.
c) IIRC from your Mordor campaign the temple units come from one settlement only and its near the Morrannon Gate so given the number of them your killed already you might have cleared most of them out already. However the worrying thing is which are the other nasties, i.e. the trolls and the Great Beasts. Fear some of them could be coming your way soon. - Outdated now as your cleared out a few trolls
d) Think you need some more spies but I suspect you have some your not using as a couple of times your recruit a pair but only started moving one the following turn. Might be best to check the characters list. Also possibly get a 2nd commander - possibly a 3rd - to the Dagorlad region. It would give your commander there a break and also possibly enable getting a few watchtowers up.
e) Remember you have to not only destroy Mordor but hold Barad Dur so an attack through the Morrannon would be a good option if as you say you can get Gondor moving themselves in the centre.
f) In terms of getting forces across the Anduin possibly you could check if any merchant cogs can be recruited, which could then be used as a ferry significantly faster than a land march through the rough terrain. Would need a commander there but if as in ME2 they don't need a port, just a stretch of shoreline.
Steve
Hey Steve, thanks for your insight! I read your earlier comments but forgot to reply to them!
As for Dol Guldur, the nazgul will join if the faction dies, which atm hasn't happened yet!
"I wouldn't mind killing Gothmog"
..Again..
XD
Killing Gothmog in the Mordor campaign was an inside job ;)
Awesome intro :D
Intro give anybody else goosebumps?
When do you expect to put out episode 3 of the hot seat campaign? I really enjoyed watching the first two episodes and have wondered where they’ve been.
As soon as it's ready :) it takes a while to get the turns rolling with 8 players, but we're still getting them done!
What was the clip from at the beginning of the video?
That's from the 1978 Ralph Bakshi LOTR cartoon, pretty cool right? :)
is there a hotkey for the toggle red/blue/green circles under models, or just gotta push the buttom with your mouse?
Not that I'm aware of, no :/
Play as Angmar, it's good to play them now as all mostly Human faction, they have good medium and elite tier troops, stronger enough to face the Dwarves and the Dúnedain as equals. The Elves are crap now, probably because Gallu made them a split faction and the AI is very poor with split territories.
For a Orcish faction I would choose Gundabad, they'rent lame as the Goblins of Moria and the some Evil Men factions just like Dunland, Enedwaith (I know, they're kind of "Neutral") or even the Variags from Khand.
For the wildmen factions (Dunland, Enedwaith and Khand) I guess DaC team are making some good changes and maybe you can play as them after the changes, problably as Enedwaith to show their changes.
Be sure to cast your vote!

Hey izzy are you still playing hotseat campain?
Yes! Just takes a bit to get the turns going
Wait until V5 to play Moria please. The RPing you do will really suit the new changes.
Why not both? ;)
@@IzzyTotalWar You spoil us dude
gondor takes back land
Finally!
Do you like playing evil or good factions more
Depends on my mood :) but I usually prefer evil
You are number 2 but the came doesn't count cavalry for as much as infantry or archers
That's probably why, the game probably sees Mordor as stronger still... if only they knew the power of the cavalry!
What happens to the hot seat campaign? Just curious.
It's still ongoing :) just takes a while to get everybody's turns done!
Btw ... whats going on with that hotseat
for now as the horn blows in the wind I say the word I said at helms deep were is the horse and its rider
Where is the horn that was blowing?
I vote for gundabad
Hope Ar Adunaim wins. If they win, destroy both Mordor and Gondor. Establish the mighty Black Numenorean Empire!
Or lead them to Tharbad! :)
Anduin vale next please! Extra challenge, ur not allowed to have any alliance.
Maybe after the next evil campaign (be sure to vote for 'em!)
Ar Adunaim definitely! Take the white city and Minas Ithil.
Be sure to vote!
Were is that cartoon from
That's from the 1978 Ralph Bakshi Lotr cartoon/move :)
Bahahaha 5 troll units in west khazad dum. The dwarves are so casual. They will siege moriah for dozens of turns without taking it. Smh
I'm Early. Yay!
Or late? It's all about perspective!
Or he could be middle As a wise man said it’s all about perspective
Harads cavalry is actually faster then Yours
This cannot be!?
