Last time I played that, I had everything up to Isengard and the Misty Mountains as my border.  Was sending a force of some 8000 Uruk-Hai to lay waste to the last remaining stronghold of the Dwarves.

What's going on in Third Age Total War?

LORD OF THE RINGS' GOING ON, DOOD!

Ah! Bevy, sweetie, my elven warriors would have eaten your uruks :razz:
 
Heh :razz:

Still, have you looked at the stats of these ****ers? Seriously, everything elvish is ridiculously OP (as it should be, mind you, I love when a game follows lore more than balance.)
 
8000 Uruks though.  Eight mother****ing thousand, with more ready to be called up from the area around Dale.

Also, aren't Mordor Uruks stronger than the average Isengard Uruks?

in case you're wondering, no I do not have this installed now, as I have no idea where my medieval 2 disk is and thus can't install it, let alone Kingdoms.

Those mother****ing trolls have cost me quite a couple good soldiers...
Interesting, danke!
Also, I didn't use trolls et cetera in that game.  Figured that since I had so much land I may as well rely on Red Army style tactics.
 
Yeah, but those suckers are really strong. Not as much as balrogs, though, those one almost killed me off when I was commanding one of my mightiest host, Elrond and Glorfindel in there.

I don't know where I might face Ents, though...
 
I reply this:
This is a forum, we're having a coherent discussion pertaining to the topic at hand. Do not complain because we're spoling your little tea party.

If you're gonna get pissy, go start a "plain TW exclusive club" in the OTHER GAMES sub-topic at the top of the page.
 
Id have to agree with Karj on this one. It is Total War; . i.e: Any total war game, mod or not.

Third Age is for...empire? I may have to download it.. :mrgreen:

Nothing that a few thousand crossbow bolts to the face won't solve.  :smile:
 
Against Blarogs? Good luck, keh. 4 scores of my best archers and 11 of the 12 ****ers still stand.
