Erm, wow. I just played the Minas Morgul map for the first time and beat a brutal army in 20 minutes, basically just using nazzies. Will try again against two armies this time...

This one is against an actual person.

Moria (LOTRJ)
Isengard (Yoda Warrior)

Length: Dunno, not overly long though.

I lost. I think I would have done ok if Smaug hadn't demolished my fortress... It didn't help that Gobbos take so long to get their air unit, either. I suppose I should have put more money towards getting Drogoth ASAP instead of arrow den expansions.

WOW! NOW THAT IS A GAME!
THE NAZGUL HIMSELF OMG OMG OMG!
oops had caps on............hehe

[Devon]

yeah, its a pity i had to leave. who knows what would have happened otherwise? hehe

[Sûlherokhh]

You would actually have had a chance. The dwarven AI was awesomely real. I tended to forget it was an AI and merited it's bravery, persistence and concentration.

[Nazgûl]

Yeah, it was kickin' my äzz a lot, and keeping me busy building walls and spending money instead of getting my troops ready... hehe. SEE AI rules

How am I to watch this EPIC battle unfold? As in, where am I supposed to save the replay in order to view it?

[Lord of the Rings Junkie]

In the same folder where SEE is installed there is a replays folder. Unzip the file to that folder, and it should work.

@Naz: I was never swimming in too much money. Ents cost a fortune and Gobbo fire arrow towers + Drogoth were making kindling out of them faster then I could build them.

WOW! I watched over 2 hours of that battle unfold, but I eventually had to quit watching it because it was TOO epic for my computer to handle (still waiting on that computer upgrade to come in). I learned alot about you guys too.
Naz, you FREAKIN' LOVE THE NINE. I mean, you don't take any chances of losing any of them. Once one of them goes past 1/2 health, you get their asses out of there. And you're really a defensive player, building up your defenses first before you send out any armies, and saving up for trolls and Grond. Not a big fan of the Evil men, though, are you? Or were you just trying not to use them so that you won't miss them once you decide to split them up for beta V?
Rhodin, you're definitely the spawner of the group. And you don't seem to care alot about the heroes. I only saw you use Drogoth, and rightfully so. You and Naz must make a pretty good team. A perfect balance of spawning and defending.
Sul, you are the more balanced of the three, building up your base, but also remembering to send some units out there to mess with the opposition as well. And HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET GIMLI TO PERMANENTLY FIGHT FOR YOU?! At first I thought it was wormtonge, but then I saw you use it on Thranduil, and he had a "time remaining" bar. And all the time Gimli didn't! How'd you pull that off?!
I might rewatch it, and pay more attention to the good guys next time. Or just wait for a game in which nobody runs away like a little girl. Stay and finish the fight, you must.

[Sûlherokhh]

Gimli was staying because of the frigging 'Convert Enemies'-Bug. Under certain conditions the victims remain permanently even though the timer has run out.

@Zach: This game says NOTHING on how I play the game, mind you... This is only the SECOND time I played online, ever... and the lagg was DREADFUL! Despite that we played with Very Low settings... (except Junkie)

So, don't take this as a reference on how I play... It's nothing like when I run the game on Ultra High and like 10 times faster paste that this.

The 9... Well, that's cause they were my ONLY ticket to gain Spell Points for the Spell Book. And why should I let them fight if I see that they might die? That's just plain stupid, right? The other players was constantly battling it out against eachother and gaining SP, while I had to defend myself against Dwarven AI that was sneaking into my base... =p

The only thing that's correct about my strategy is that I am a "camper" and I do play defensivly. I hate the guerilla tactics in RTS games. But usually, when camping long enough, I'm strong enough to win the game

I won't ever play this many online again though. The lagg was simply AWEFUL :(

you should have told me! i had tons of cash ( i think at least ) i would just buy troops, upgrade, send at rhodin, buy troops, etc in was kinda sad we were stuck at 650 or so cp.

I think lag would have been MUCH lower if I hadn't put my graphics on UH. I watched the replay with Medium and there was hardly any lag. Sorry again folks, I've learned my lesson.

[Nazgûl]

Hehe np Junkie We still love ya'

BUt yeah, it would be interesting to try again, on Very Low for EVERYONE. Hehe...
For the record: I played my 3rd online game with Rhodin the oher day, and we both ran Ultra High, and there was no probs whatsoever

[kalecx]

wish i join the game with you guys

[Lord of the Rings Junkie]

BUt yeah, it would be interesting to try again, on Very Low for EVERYONE. Hehe...

And maybe even have everyone run the game at 800 x 600, too. Next time I get one of the evil factions, though.

[Nazgûl]

You know what's funny about that... (resolutions)

In most meausurements it's proven that the high standard graphics cards are actually faster in higher res settings than in low. Isn't that odd... The framerate usually goes up from VGA to XGA and even SXGA, but may go down again at even higher settings. I guess they optimize them to be played at the most common resolutions, which SVGA (800x600) no longer is I usually play at XGA (1024x768) =)

[zachdaddy_3000]

Either way, I totally want in on an online game with you guys. I find I'm best with MotW. NOW LET'S GET IN ON!

[Hobbit Hunter]
