Izzy i missed u a lot a lot has happened since you were gone i started this journey when u played reunited kingdom. Sometimes i comment on ur vids and explain my life to u. Izzy its been so hard since u were gone my girlfriend of 8 years left me. I never had many people in my life but i always looked up for ur uploads. Its been so hard and i really missed u and i love u❤
Even if I am not Izzy I wish you all the best for your future! I really feel with you cause recently I am having a hard time, too and Izzy’s uploads give me genuine joy where I can loose all the stress for an hour. But never forget: „The world is not in your books and Apps. It is out there.“ …ready to surprise you with a lot of pleasure and love if you grasp for it!
I virtually never comment, but I feel obligated to: Stay strong brother! It may be a a day, a week, a decade but the light will eventually find you again, and when it does, you will rise like a phoenix from the ashes, far stronger and wiser than you were before. I believe in you brother!
Hey Farzam, sucks to read my man... Wish I had some easy solutions but unfortunately I don't. Keep on keeping on and it will work out, no matter how long that might take. In the meantime I'll be here for the ride!
You couldn't overtrain the pikemen because they were probably mercenaries. Kill the rebels near the city, they're causing you devastation. Great campaign. Great that you're back
Once you capture Helm's Deep you should rename it to Wulf's Deep - in honour of the Dunlending war chief that besieged the castle and fought against Helm.
So it seems they pierce but don't actually do enough damage to insta kill. So they damage a lot of soldiers in a unit though it takes a couple volleys to really take them down.
Great episode, and nice suprise to see Lurtz at the battlefield! I'm sure that he will prove his worth! I think it a good choice that you took the speed down. Your line of defense was clear and strong, and it allowed you to strengthen your army and economy. With more and more 2nd tier barracks being build I'm sure that your armies will improve in strength. And I'm a great fan of training troops and putting them in forts as reserves. It not only let you have some reserves. If I remember well, the AI calculate his decision to go to war with you based on faction strength, which is determined by the strength of your army, making it less likely that factions as Enedwaith and the Goblins go to war with you. You have made a great set-up for next episode, and I'm looking forward to it. Hope to see it soon!
As the blood of our most recent battles dried up, King Yagthak was called away by a summons of the White Wizard himself. When at last my King returned he cam with many new gifts. One of these gives was a massive creature, whose skin was like that of onyx. At first glace this would seem an orc, but it is far too powerful, large, and cunning to simply be one of the wretches form the Misty Mountains we trade with. It is called an Uruk-hai, and I shudder to think how the Wizard creates these creatures from the very ground of Isen. Our Supply of Uruks is for the time low and will be slow to gain more. However our Great and mighty King has new sights set. Should we take our swords to claim the fortress out at Helm's Deep, the White Wizard will surly give more blessings upon us. Not only that, but the enemy will be deprived of it's grand fortress and their ability to flee to safty. The Horse men think us fools to be brushed aside, but when push comes to shove, it would seem that even large forces of Rohan would rather retreat further into their borders, than meet their deaths as warriors. And I had though I could not think lower of the Rohirrim. But we have found many of their stables still in tact, and many of their notes and books on horse-husbandry as well. I have begun working with others to sort though these teachings. We might be able to replicate some of their success of strong horses, and powerful cavalry.
In regards to the toggle_fow, maybe you could role play it that with your new found friendship with Saruman, he shared with you details of the goings-on of the rest of the world that he has seen through his Palantír. Because it isn’t like you’re going to be invading the Orthanc anytime soon
Don't feel bad about the general spam. All of those generals were just thrown into your faction by the scripts. I'm sure the general spam woll naturally decrease as you take more territories
Hello, friend. Now that you succeeded in the very first quest from Saruman, you got your rewards, which is Lurtz and his small army. You are very close to achieve your second quest, which is about to happen in the next episode, something I recommend. You have a very powerful army and you must proceed, kill Erkenbrand and attack Helm's Deep to get it. Possibly the big army will come to you to reclaim the fortress, but you have more infantry and you are very able to defend it. I also suggest in due time to attack Gineard, another castle, from where you can hold a united front and march to the north, to get the other Rohirric towns. I also suggest to get rid of your starting Dunleding cavalry, because it's useless and use only Frekkalingir Stalwarts and the Rohirric units for your cavalry, as they are much better. It's good to get some economy starting around, as well as having some garrisons in the border with Enedwaith, because when they don't have any enemies, they won't hesitate to attack you - thus giving you the perfect excuse to claim their territory as well. You really have a good army, albeit I think that a second one, smaller but with the other available units, units you want to get rid of and mercenaries, can be occupied to get the northern flank in a minor attack towards Fangorn's Camp and available to attack in Rochburg and Tirith Anduin, covering your main army which will go for Edoras and in the end of the line Aldburg. Have a nice time.
Only thing I'd disagree is disbanding the harriers. Any cavalry is better than no cavalry, so especially if splitting the army into two, having a cheap cavalry unit to turn victories into heroic ones by chasing down the routers is always useful.
@@anarionelendili8961 agreed, mate. In fact, I didn't say to disban the current Dunleding cavalry (possibly I didn't state it properly). But from the time that the Frekkalingir Barracks is done, then it's better to recruit the Stalwarts and the Rohirric units than the basic Dunleding cavalry. Though the existing ones should remain, possibly as part of the secondary army, till their extinction.
Hahahahaha, I love watching your episodes brother! Lurt's "Hunting Pack" is badass. I wish you could have the general special abilities & their unit "special ability" -- is it so hard to have a cycle button / feature??
Yo izzy, just so you know, when moving archers and getting that delayed response, it happens in vanilla as well, just take them off Fire At Will and wait a sec or two then give the order.
The retraining on the Longspears -- You already had them cued on training new units @ Isenrun. You needed to unclick everything training & sometimes click away, or save & reload campaign. Idk why, but I have noticed EUR has a little bug where it doesn't always reflect retraining or building something, if you get funds from a battle, or go to try something (if you already had in cue, but couldn't afford it...etc...) Just unclick -- if that doesn't work, then save & reload, and then it should pop up as able.
Just had an Izzy marathon!🫡 missed episode 2 till this one. So stole the tv remote all evening to watch them😂 I need to watch some of your older series! Which one do you recommend to start with?
Bit of a suggestion if you are going to face that Rohan army in the open lay seige to Helm's Deep first that way you can get a siege draw out and stop them from training more of their stronger units. Also consider destroying any buildings from Rohan in your settlements that don't give you anything from them that's free money you are sitting on.
looking for recommendations to watch while waiting for the next episode which series were your favorite to make? i found your channel when you did a rhun (i think) campaign a few years back and watched that pretty avidly and then i just never got any other recommendations from your channel
Instead of general stacking at Derwath you could have attacked that army at the fords, it's a really cool battle map and it would be a bit less cheesy. Good episode tho
I'm at odds why the faolan borderguards even exist tbh, I'd edit them to at least be able to do shield wall and definitely up their armor, they make no sense, and considering the unit limit the engine has, feels like a waste. EDIT: You can't retrain merc units even though you can make them, gotta retrain where you can get them as mercs only.
I really don't understand the shade thrown at general stacking. If you have tools in your bag for a job, why not use them? People complaining about general stacks are just wanting to see you fail.
because it makes the game way to easy. I kill full stack armies with just Elrond, his two sons and Glorfindel. And by next turn they're back to strength.
@@JediLordNathan did i say it wasn't? just saying that alot of ppl who watch TATW content dont wanna see the repeating army general stack battles where its a guaranteed victory. Personally i don't care if they use such tactic, i skip most battles unless they're epic big battles.

Lurtz has body piercing arrows the same as Legolas! Massive damage!
Really? Whats the unit? Uruk hai archers with just the piercing arrows?
@@gulabot the units called Lurtz hunting pack. Basically just upper tier Uruk archers.
@@rangers8319 just tested it in custum battle, its dogshit xD
@@gulabot I could have sworn in the unit description it says body piercing arrows?
So it seems they pierce but don't actually do enough damage to insta kill. So they damage a lot of soldiers in a unit though it takes a couple volleys to really take them down.
That guy does deliver they way Christopher spoke pretty well!

An extra gift from saruman for taking helms deep
Hehe first comment and that's a really good Saruman voice props to the va
That Saruman impression was pretty spot on, all things considered
Yeay new epic video with epic intro. I am really hyped for continuation of the campaing

My Saturday just got better!
You can't retrain those specific longspears because they are the mercenary longspears you picked up.

We are so back!
Just had an Izzy marathon!🫡 missed episode 2 till this one. So stole the tv remote all evening to watch them😂 I need to watch some of your older series! Which one do you recommend to start with?
Sounds like a great evening 😂 my personal favourites would be Rhun, Dorwinion and Angmar!
maybe you could use the palantir when taking Edoras, as a gift from Saruman for a job well done,
BTW you should probably get rid of the rebel stack sitting on your road between Dun Larach and Byrig, because they will be disrupting trade.
Bit of a suggestion if you are going to face that Rohan army in the open lay seige to Helm's Deep first that way you can get a siege draw out and stop them from training more of their stronger units.

My personal favourites besides Rhun would be Dorwinion, Northern Dunedain and Harad. You can find all those playlists on my channel, enjoy! ❤️

EDIT: You can't retrain merc units even though you can make them, gotta retrain where you can get them as mercs only.
random question but how come you dont use the banners over the units?
Personal preference really, I've played so long without it it'd feel strange to suddenly have them!
You can not retrain the Longspears because they are a mercenary unit
Lorien must have SERIOUSLY capitalized with their last stand army, didn’t you get a message really early on that they were faltering?
We did! And they even lost Celeborn. Good on them!

If you had not general stacked, your campaign would probably have been over or in a dire state....
Yeah the a.i need a lot of work in this game. You should have lost most of your siege battles.
