One thing about this game that stands out is that it's units aren't singular or in small groups. You have mentioned it in the past, yet I didn't believe it so serious an enjoyment I apparently was mistaken.
I shall have to investigate it further, then likely play it. Xstargaming wrote:While I have never played this game, my love for Middle Earth draws me in.
What about you? I'm sure that the different versions will surely give us both valid reasons for liking a faction over the other. The atmosphere of Mordor and diversity of units makes it my favourite. Plus, getting an army of attack trolls and charging right through the enemy's defences is so awesome with the Mordor music playing, and that moment when you finally get the Balrog as a power. He has to be the most OP purchasable hero in the game, even more than Gandalf. The fact that you can have multiple of the same hero, while hard to manage, was really cool to me, and the single heroes like Mouth of Sauron and Witch-King are so fun. Mordor - I know Mordor isn't better than the Dwarves in terms of power, but I absolutely adore their heroes. Too bad Men of Dale are so much better than axethrowers.ġ. I love that you can add a pair of units or some equipment to the back of it, and while they could have gone much farther with the idea, I think they're powerful enough with 1 upgrade. Guardians can counter archers by charging, who were built to counter melee units in the first place, and while they lack cavalry, the Battlewagons more than make up for it. Dwarves - All of their heroes are great, even if Gloin refuses to use his first skill on multiple units, and their troops themselves are awesome. I just wish that their melee units were better.Ģ.
LOTR BFME HELMS DEEP FULL
They have cool spells, and those Silverthorn Arrows are so awesome when you get a full battalion of archers. However, summoning Eagles and using such a wide variety of heroes is fun. Elves - Just as Isengard, the units are too expensive. They have cooler heroes than the Goblins, like Lurtz and Saruman, so that pushes them higher on the list.Ĥ. Isengard - Units are more expensive than the Dwarves but weaker, and mines were a cool idea that never came into fruition because it's so hard to use them. It would work better if there were quickly-spawning goblin units of each type, and then trolls and spider riders were used as late-game units who cost even more but were even stronger. Cavalry is really hard to get early, and other useful unit types like pikemen are super expensive. Goblins - Goblins train too slowly for their cost and statistical weakness.
LOTR BFME HELMS DEEP UPGRADE
The AI takes forever to upgrade its units, so I never have to worry about anyone surviving the charge.Ħ. I love beefing them up with Men of Dale, because they can snipe the pikemen that would otherwise prevent them from charging, and then run into the centre of an army, crushing everything in sight. Kingmaker: "What do you think of Dwarven Battlewagons?"Īnswer: They're balanced, because in some cases they're super OP, but in others, they get outclassed. That feeling of clashing your massive army against another, filled with these diverse people and creatures that Tolkien crafted for us. Dark Souls and KR may have been more carefully designed, and I like that the effort paid off, but EA really struck a diamond mine (or some meth) when they made this game, because it is a true gem. Nothing has ever retained a sense of pure epicness and fun to this extent like BFME has. I changed my mind about Dark Souls being my favourite game. The greatest game of all time, ladies and gentlefolk.
