You can hit “Q” to select all units on the map. You can also double click a unit to select all units of its type on screen. Right clicking a Hero units abilities will allow them to auto-use them as they see fit.
@@ambiguousamphibianvodsThis game could get brutal especially if you don't prepare (you can keep armies and upgrade them). I barely survived the final mission and almost lost Minas Tirith cuz I was young and dumb. Watched Ruddevil play it and even he suffered at the Gate even with upgraded troops. Pippin died first as usual. Of course the lower part of Mordor is a slog but fun as there are 8 medium bases occupied by the enemy and with free orc warriors you better bring Ithilen Rangers and a couple tower guards. You should watch Ruuds playthrough. It's pretty interesting stuff.
Tbf they are innocent. Orcs are evil man. All the ents wanted was to live in the woods and tend to their forests. But no, Saruman just decided he wanted to cut down the forest. Even though he was once their friends. As Treebeard said while witnessing the devastation "many of these trees were my friends".
Absolutely play more of this. Even the War of the Ring gamemode as well as the extras! I'd even love to join you ever figure out a community night for this game series
One of my favorite games of all time. When i was a kid I played countless hours on BFME2 on the 360, the one after this one. It wasn't until a couple years ago when i was finally able to get the expansion Rise of the Witch King. Its like a dream, being able to experience new things in a game i played so much of after years.
NO WAY! I played a lot of this game (100% of him, played with good and evil campaigns in all difficult levels) and yesterday I'm looking if I can play again.
Lost this game for a good couple decades, couldn't remember it's name, only that it was some of my best evenings/mornings in cyber cafes... It's very cool seeing it return to the eyes and ears of the public, as it is the GOAT in LOTR games
YESSS I just played through this, this game was so good. I've noticed the fan patch makes the campaign so hard, but they did make the last official patch work on new systems. Ugh, what a stellar RTS
There is actually an updated mod for this game that makes it way harder and adds more heroes. Just search up the 2.22 update for Battle for Middle Earth you'll find a launcher you can download with both the vanilla version and the updated mod version. Super worth it.
There is a new launcher for it that can download the whole thing for you along with any fan patches or mods. Beware though the fan patched helm's deep is super hard.
Fun fact....its cannon that Sam is the real hero of LOTR's he resists the Ring and ultimately is the only one to compete his mission with 100% success. The TRUE power of friendship...your buddies are the real source of your power! HAHH
Wish they sold it somewhere digitally - I’ve actually just been spending the last few years re-gathering up ways of playing old games from physical disks. There are usually a bunch of them on eBay still pretty cheap if you have the hardware - mileage may vary from old game to old game. LGR in particular I recommend for figuring out how to get some of them running. This one in particular was pretty easy to get running, but others like The Movies, I need two PCs and a capture card to get filming for here 😅
@ lol I just go to the part where you explained how you collected retro games. I am definitely gonna have this playing all day. Thank you for posting this campaign I hope you play the bad campaign later.
If you play the second game on pc, there are some really good patches that you should look into. They make the game run so much smoother and at a better resolution.
Hey man, if you’ll be playing any other games in the series I’d like to suggest giving the age of the ring mod a try. It’s trully something else, custom voice lines, incredible models new factions and visual effects. It contains overhaul of the campaign including (as of now) complete remakes of fellowship and two towers with the return of the king in active development.
Gosh darn it, I have so little time to keep up with you videos and Any time I do I find a new game I want to try out. so even less time. Such a catch 22. An yes, new game for me is what I’m referring to 😅
Omg this game was 70% of my childhood

Oh, man. This was the first game I fell asleep at the wheel playing. Untold thousands of hours.
"oh good we managed to save the life of three *innocent* ents" *as they continue to stomp on hundreds of orcs and crush them*

One thing you might not have known, even when you were on the Gondor part of the campaign you can select your Rohan armies and do missions with them
bfme 1 and 2 are childhood classics it doesn't get better than this
I loved this game as a child. Gondors Tower guards were my favorites unit with its 80%? Defense stance.
My favorite lord of the rings games were custom maps in Warcraft 3. I still see them being hosted occasionally.
That just flung me all the way back haha legolas was broken
@@mrsquiggles1379 Agility heroes were crazy busted with the stat increasing both attack speed and damage.
This game was so good omg, always save Boromir!! I still have both disk versions of Battle For Middle Earth 1 and 2, just not the expansion for 2
For my fellowship, I choose Tom Bombadil and the corpse of that guy who got crushed by the Bree gate when the ring wraith rode through.

Return of The King (the old third person hack n slash game) was BRILLIANT.
Oh my dude you just hit that sweet nostalgia with this one.

Damn just replayed this myself. This NEEDS to make a come back!

Wow I am so glad to see this game again. This was such a fantastic time when I was a kid
I had no idea Cavalry were such big fans of cheese XD
Man I still remember having to download this game off of five separate discs when I got it 😂, makes me appreciate just how easy we have it now.
YESSS I just played through this, this game was so good. I've noticed the fan patch makes the campaign so hard, but they did make the last official patch work on new systems. Ugh, what a stellar RTS
How did you get it working?
Hobbits of Middle Earth: The Rock of the Trolls
I'm always Rudyng for Seanwise Ganjee
I see you’re a man of culture

This is some dungeon seige ass shit and I'm here for it.
Nothing beats dungeon siege.
I miss this game, can't find it anywhere though, except the bay

@@voxmaris42 Where, can you supply a link?
@@vincesergi7339 Not sure if allowed to on TH-cam but just search "All in One Launcher"

Meanwhile Frodo is a scum bag. After all that he just ditches Sam to go to Elf land. All cuz he got poked by a spooky sword.
I remember playing this game after highschool. How are you playing this? Is there a link? Please I need to reclaim my childhood memories lol

@@ironerikb IGG games, use a VPN
Loved this stronghold and settlers when I was under 10 amazing games
I put so many hours into this game growing up.
I played this a little with classmates at school, but I never played the campaign

I was just playing this two days ago on my laptop!!! I am amazed that you played this!!!!❤❤

God I loved this game. I would love more LOTR RTS content, from the slick sequels to the really jank predecessor.
