I think AoD and Balrog summon are in a good state with 8min cooldown. Would be nice if Balrog wont be able to solo castles, because at that point it can mean to lose the game, just because the evil faction hit it. Still a wonderful display of gameplay here. Loved the whole final matches against Darknight. There were a lot of back and forths and overall seeing you struggle is a rare sight to be seen. Deserved first and second place!
i agree, summoms way too strong! sometimes i wish there was balanced version with less summons. Might game longer but will force players to play more strategically
Maybe you could change how many squads of the army of the dead get spawned and rework the balroks powers. Maybe making the area of attack of breath fire smaller and so on
@@manueljoshua175 in rts there is a rule to make free units balanced, that goes something like either make it weak, or make the source expensive. But this does not aplly to the sommons in bfme, wich makes them so Frustrating.
I love all of the balance updates. Been playing this game for a long ass time now, just single player but with all kinds of challenges (like, beating the AI without using any upgrades or ranged units etc).
I have played a lot of games and many LOTR games including the LOTR mods for Rome Total War and Medieval 2 Total War. This is the only game that never became boring for me. I could play it for hours and play only it for months without playing anything else. I remember I would stop just for the sake of variety and/or to try something new but after just a couple of days I would be back at it. 😀 Maybe because it's so simple.
Dark Knight is easily the hardest opponent I've seen you play against. Like watching you vs you which made for a great counter. Hope to see more between you two moving forward, incredible match.
Watched this one. That opening was great. The warg chase, that was smooth. Btw. What's the possibility of getting a single target for the lightning strike? If possible that would probably make Gandalf too OP.
is it allowed to build outposts? I thought building other bases was not allowed, and for most of the game no outposts were built, until Isengard built one, and than they were built everywhere.
When the first balrog came And you even said he was destroying. Why not create new buildings so you wouldn’t of lost everything. Balrog wouldn’t of been able to destroy new building. Also should of built archery range. Way before. Could of won the game as soon as first AoD was ready summon on base take care of all units. Then Gandalf and knights in base done.
Hey guys, it was a awesome finals and I will upload the games one by one as they were to long! Stay tuned ❤️
Really amazed by the fact, you got Age of Mythology soundtrack playing in the background. 2 legendary games collide. Love it.
Nice one Shanks, congrats on winning!

30:06 Saruman dishonored the memory of Isildur, so you kind of avenged him there with the AoD.

Love the balrog changes shanks!
agreed
It was incredible to watch this on Velenorion channel gratz Shanks
GG WP !
Nice to see you getting some qualified opposition :)

I believe aod summon should be 15 power points and balrog 30 power points so that they don’t get seen every game
Very difficult match to the last minute there was so much suspense

Do you think the eyes of the white tower are blind? I saw that knight battalion run into the pikes!
Is there a captain here to take responsibility?

oh! i saw this game on velenorians channel. was hoping you’d upload your pov
I like getting destroyed by one single summon unit
gg, I wonder if with all of the combos you built Boromir and Faramir would have been a good investment early on for some leadership...
When was the tornoment?????
I would love to see all of them and now is a final no way
I don’t think I will upload 5-8 minutes long gameplay videos though, the quarter final games and semi final games were not to interesting imho
velenorion covered the tournament !
Gondor can summon 4 armies and the evil army just one. And this one has to be overpowered.
The 4 armies helps a lot to get map control
I would love to join the multi player scene I have so much appreciation for BFME 2. How do I play that on pc?
2.022 must be so good! My greates wish would be adding elves and dwarfen faction to this version!
How come you didn't get hero leadership? Why didn't you recruit any rangers?
Wait, does Gandalf still provide leadership?
Yes he does, cover with your cursor over his palantir picture
is it allowed to build outposts? I thought building other bases was not allowed, and for most of the game no outposts were built, until Isengard built one, and than they were built everywhere.
How can I participate in the upcomming BFME 1 tourney?
Get well soon shanks!
gg Shanks! Can i suggest to reduce Balrog's fire breath damage to buildings, so he can't one shot half your base?
ayyy gondor
Good faction is forced to summon AOD only defensively against balrog and not offensively to not lose. I think this is fair?
cav-il-ary haha
Love the AoM music ;p
Is the patch you are playing on currently available?
Yes, click on patch 2.22 in the description of the video
@@BeyondStandards SHANKS ya genius I figured it out!
Where can you get the game? Can it still be bought officially or downloadable?
You cant buy, link to free version in description
Yes, AOD and balrog are basically "I win" button.
Not fun.

No me gustó esta batalla. Y la IA de Isengard es muy mala.
