Divide and Conquer v5.2 Beta: Gondor [14] Denethor on Defense

Campaign Rules, Reshade, and Freecam info below:
This campaign is played under a work-in-progress build for Divide and Conquer that is not publicly available as of the time of recording.
Special Rules: Army sizes depend on the command level of a general in the field. Each command star allows for 2 additional units to a general's army. Militia units are not to be used in an army unless they are part of a settlement. Militia are considered as town guards and police forces and therefore are not sent on the offensive.
Reshade: Using the "Campaign" preset by Andy's Take: • HOW TO MAKE MEDIEVAL 2...

Don’t forget that Cair Andros has no border with Mordor as long as you hold Gelebrin.

Finally. After a Christmas binge I caught back up and needed more to watch.

[@IILeao67II]

Friendly towers definitely do friendly fire damage

Tremendous

In DaC, what is Renown? I assume it's from the Dread/Chivalry mechanic in the base game, but I was wondering what specific bonuses it gives. Also, how did you guys implement Acumen? Is it a reimplementation of Management from RTW?

[@thefifthhobbit2092]

I think that once Denethor has Linhir you should bring him to Pelargir and use catapults and trebuchets to take Haudhaner in a single turn. Then you only need to bring Huron down with stakes and Khand whole line of settlement to Dol Amroth is in jeopardy.

You figth Khand with Faramir in a very bad position with only a pike unit to protect the range unit and in an open field the ennem cav can coutourn the pike and charge the archers
The better position is a corner camp to avoid the charge of the archers by the ennemy cav

[@artolan_illusive]

Since DaC is using engine overhaul now, will there also be full replenishment of bodyguards over 77?

[@thefifthhobbit2092]

Presumably.

[@Augimund]

Yes

[@darrenlaker2030]

In faramir's battle you said it yourself, their archers had poor accuracy. Focus fire the cavalry and your blackroots would faireds better.

[@gumbyshrimp2606]

50 turns and you still haven’t taken the black gate? Embarrassing
