oh yea thats right cause of his dragon strike and he killed smaug which you picked up on in rewriting BFME2. Cool

[Sûlherokhh]

Actually it was his grandfather who killed Smaug.

[av8r]

bah! going to bed! cant recall anything!! LOL Well its been a few yrs since readng them...

[Nazgûl]

Same here... but yeah, it was Bard that killed Smaug. But I gather Brand should have it in him too

just wanted to tell about my experiences with SEE.
i loved it the first time i played. Dwarves VS goblins in Erebor (due to a mistake they were in the fortress and i stood outside ) but i loved it. I had some trouble with fighting of every horde they sent to me (and then i mean thousands of goblins at once)

the only thing was the lag (normal BFME2 already lags on this pc)
and because it takes longer to get an army etc. it took way too long in my opinion.

Second map.

Dol guldor
Elves VS dwarves VS men VS goblins

i was in dol guldor. the second and last map i played with SEE. (sorry Naz ) The lag made it took longer and longer than i wanted. I started at 7pm and at 10pm i got at the second enemy base. I almost had victory but i stopped. It took me three hours and became sooo boring that i shut down my pc. my pc isn't made for such stuff...

so due to the lag of my pc (TEA Minas Tirith was horrible for example) i can't play BFME2 properly and can't play SEE... and i hate it....

I had a nice game yesterday
I have:

killed 0793 Units
destroyed 196 Structures =)


I have played with ELves vs 7 Brutal Armys (all in one Team).
They were Goblin, Goblin, Goblin, Mordor, Mordor, Mordor, Mordor. But with Handycap -75%

IT was a genious fight.
After 10 Minutes they had hundreds of units in front of my base. Normally there were 20 Trolls and 30-40 Teams of Orcs, evil men etc.

After three hours of defending I began to attack. And with all my Spelll book powers, all hereos and a few Ents I have finally managed it to kill all 7 AIs.
The last 3 had full upgraded forts, that was great to attack them

It was a fantastic afternoon yesterday. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK :D

[Peter Cacciator]

Now THAT sounded fun! How long did you take in general?

In the end of the game it said: 1 hour.
But in the real time (with all lags etc.) it took 3 hours

Turn down your graphics detail and/or screen resolution, things get much better. Don't let a bit of lag scare you away from S.E.E.

[King_of_Blades]

You know, if it hadn't been for S.E.E., I would have never touched BFME II again. The EA version sucked... and I mean SUCKED.

Walls are now walls of stone...

Structures are made of structures...

Units are actually capable of fighting...

Resource buildngs take less "area-of-effect" space...

Better visuals...

Now, a battle for the Grey Havens is actually worth fighting!

Hello Taralom!
You probalby already know this but thought I would ride the back of your post for anyone else who might need help in this:

Some programs will run in the background while your computer is "idle" and the computer in some instances is considered "idle" byt he OS when game playing.

The programs I think of that might cause slowdown would be antivirus or AV Suites that scan or run itself during "idle" states, as well as if you have Indexing Service enabled.

And in some cases, like for me with my avast, just disabling the AV doesnt do it always as the program will try to update regularly so I actually close it in task manager.

Just wondering if this might be affecting others out there.

[Sûlherokhh]

Me, absolutely. I always close any stupid running application, sometimes manually by killing the thread.

[av8r]

Indeed. I close all avast, disable windows update, no auto updates like windows time, adobe, etc.


Just want to say how much we are enjoying the game now with SEE.

Some of the things to name a few:
Turning lair trolls to stone is really cool!
Having the eagles or airborne creatures bounce to the ground off buildings when dying is pretty cool - realistic - esp. the damage they do in the process!
It's just allot of fun. Thanks.

[King_of_Blades]

This is why we hate EA:





This is why we love S.E.E.:

I'll try to do a complete comparison between all factions (All of MotW, All of Elves, Dwarves, etc.)
