The Total War Lord Of The Rings Mod Just Got A New Update (0.8)

Boromir the captain of Gondor The Last Hope of the White City has been tasked by his father this day to reclaim this lost gondorian Outpost take it away from the forces of the East and bring it back into the fold however he is not alone this day he is brought reinforcements from darroth calling upon his loyal vassel Prince imrael has mustered a mighty Army to support this gondorian host however even numbering 6,000 troops they will be hard pressed to win this day as the forces of East Lings have amassed a mighty Sally out ready to storm The Defenders and Destroy them Peace by peace hey how's it going everybody welcome back to the channel and welcome back to another glorious dawnless days online battle this is the Lord of the Rings modification for Total War Atilla and today we're going to be taking a look at the brand new update this is 0.8 this comes with a whole wealth of new changes along with new units and main focus of this update is to bring all the legendary characters from the books and the movies to life so as you guys saw Prince IMR hill we have Boromir and there are so many more I think there's something along the lines of 18 new characters in this update and that's going to be perfect again all of these updates are going to be here to gear up for the campaign whenever it inevitably does come out today's battle we have a massive Sally out so as you can see the eastling have mustered their forces and I'm immediately diving in after this gondorian Force Prince IMR Hill over here on my left is going to be very hard pressed and you guys would have saw them in their intro this is the gondorian prince in Hill I believe there's a do amroth Prince IM rill and there's obviously Boromir and also I believe the evil side does also have their very own custom units as well we don't have Mordor I know Mordor got a lot of custom heroes in this update uh which is obviously super cool and super important but unfortunately they are not engaged in this one defending on the side of the evil forces we have umber we have gabad and I believe a force from uh yeah from Beast Lings of course here we go this first initial engagement from this s out is going to immediately dive in here and I think these wardens are going to be up up against it for sure being charged right into the flank and being harassed by the Lo missile caval as they continue to maneuver around just looking for all these awesome positions getting the shots into the side and that's exactly how this this Cavalry should be played I am surprised though we're not seeing Cav yet we're now seeing Cav move but is kind of a little bit too late the eings have been able to surround this gondorian Force very effectively and this Cavalry needs to be sent to reinforce granted there's no Cav on the other s side of the settlement but you'd really hope that more reinforcements would be sent to try and uh alleviate the pressure because this is an entire Army an entire defending Force has come out to play and you really need to try and crush this they've given up their advantage right which means you really really have to try and punish this by reinforcing from the other areas I mean we even just have caval just ready to kind of pounce at any moment the eastling is not looking to overcommit their forces granted they are also taking a a pretty large punishment here losing a lot of soldiers Prince ill has come to reinforce and these Knights of the Silver Swan are more than capable of dealing with a unit or two of East Lings this is Elite heavy shot Cavalry probably some of the best Cavalry in the entire game so they are going to be coming here trying to help out wherever they can scare off the enemy units and we also do have some soldiers now making their way actually onto the Battlement so if these guys can maybe get that gate open they can start turning these towers cut off any Retreat for this eastling Force it's actually a really good idea along the other battlements we do have the uh the gundabad forces now engaging against the gondorians and I mean this is one of the oldest units in all of the dawnless days and it still just looks so godamn beautiful there there's literally nothing I love more than seeing a gondorian soldier in full plate armor just chilling having having the time of his life and what a trebuchet shot right there hitting some of the most expensive shock infantry in the game these are the Black new manorian of umber wow that was a beautiful treut sh shot look at it that guy yeah give that guy a goddamn raise right there as more of a Forces fight right here we have what damro going up against some of the umber soldiers to Umber in the gold armor and damro are of course in the blue armor both these sides clashing in head to head trying to make any progress but the majority of this force is just kind of sitting back here and hanging out darn Roth not looking to over commit oh wow look at this unit as well so we are using a few sub mods as well I think this is one of the sub mods I think actually a lot of darro if not all of darro is a sub mod faction uh this un looks amazing but I love the look of their their uniforms and then you go a big breach and now is the perfect time for dorov to move through and that's exactly what they're doing they are pushing up some soldiers here they have some ladders and again this is a really nice assault a really nice assault here hiding some soldiers um in the in the forest and bringing them over is actually really good however they are completely leaving this Force to die I I don't know what else to say but they're taking advantage of this as well it's not like they are just like sitting back and letting the scce die I guess the players did end up deciding that yeah this force is going to basically just hold down the Sally out as much as possible because with these soldiers outside the settlement it basically means there's only two Defenders inside for sett basically have you know even less soldiers to begin with so throwing an entire player outside is going to give them a big advantage and I guess their kind of main goal is to hope that they can kill enough and hold down enough uh to then push into the settlement and uh kind of over overwhelm The Defenders and we'll have to see if that does play out I'm very excited as well to see Boromir fully committed to battle look at that his model looks czy we got the hord of Gondor on his side and that's just so cool right it's so cool we're starting to get these features you can see every single update like even this map as well you know every single update is bringing us one one step closer to that glorious campaign and I think that the plan is for the dead team I think they they they put out in their in their timeline that they basically want to well I thought it was going to be an enemy General was dead and I thought Prince IM Hill might have gone down but yeah their plan is to actually release a playable Alpha of the campaign on 1.0 that's going to be their goal we're currently at 0.8 this is the 0.8 update the next update I think is going to be pretty large one with war to complete rework for Mordor and plenty of other stuff to kind of really get themselves up so we are only um for the sense of it two big updates away from being able to hopefully play The Campaign which is super exciting now don't get me wrong there might be a tons of smaller updates in between that I imagine uh 0.9 will take a long time to come out and then in between that we might get a 0.9.5 or something along them lines but still super exciting right um that we are now you know really oh that's such a good kill as well W oh that beautiful you go man you go uh yeah it's really exciting that we are within grasping distances of the dawn's days campaign I mean that is just yeah that is just something incredible right there speaking of incredible let's get back to the battle and kind of evaluate evaluate where we are so it does seem that the easting forces have been successful the Cavalry has now finally made its way around I think that Cavalry could have come down a lot sooner to get their asses over here to help out in this battle they were a bit delayed but they are now here they their goal now is to basically stop these forces from retreating inside the settlement to help reinforce this because it does seem like the gondorians and the forces of damro are slowly making their way through especially over here they are pouring in with everything they've got they're taking a lot of damage right there and it seems like umber have done an amazing job here of holding this unit in place allowing then the javelins back here and The Archers to then fire in this is going to be one some of the black Haven Marksman whenever you go ahead and give them the Marksman title you know they're going to be that a little bit more deadly right and they're able to fire shots in they this is always like one of the deadly traps of uh of the of theiller engine is the breach creates an elevated area and allowing your archers just to fire directly into the position and it generally does always rack up considerably uh more casualties uh than anything else so yeah able to kind of get them shots off is absolutely perfect they also have some of the other units as well supporting ready to push in I'm not sure if again this is a custom general for or if this is part of the last breath sub mod I don't know either way they're able to reinforce here and it does seem like d are being pushed back that missile fire is starting to rack up however there is a perfect opportunity if they can get Cavalry through here they could start ripping through these ranks another artillery volley there as well I think looking to maybe expand this breach out as well there have some soldiers actually inside the settlement as well these Rangers the affiliate Rangers supported by the wardons have brought their way up through that ladder and are now causing some pretty nice har asman able to send off any enemy Cavalry that come close and these guys can start putting some good pressure ideally they want to try and get themselves maybe up here if they can get up here they can start firing down and kind of shooting into the backs of these soldiers I really do hope we do see some forces being brought through here whether it's Cavalry or whatever it is yeah you have Prince IM Hill right here who could make a big break and go into the settlement that' be pretty gnarly as the rest of the Knights of the silver swans do come back we are getting the artillery being hit again the eastling just using that Cavalry advantage they have access to to go ahead and take out this these two trets which are of course putting up a lot of damage surprisingly no breaches being made though they are looking to just kind of push through but it does seem like the walls have been won I mean at heavy cost of course but yeah this side of a wall has actually been conquered as a lot of the evil forces now fall back the battling on the left parts of the wvo are still firing Fierce and a lot of the arrow fire is coming in luckily luckily though that these settlements are designed in a way to give a bit more prote section normally uh you know as you can see there's a bit more of an elevation now on the back of the walls normally you can just shoot directly into the soldiers whereas this offers a bit more protection and I guess is more historically there to stop people from falling over and uh you know kind of you going and dropping to their deaths I guess with this being there so again offers a bit more protection gameplay wise and kind of maybe makes a bit more sense actually L wise as these soldiers continue to fight in they are still taking damage of course but definitely not as much as they once were and here we go the caval pushing in now we have some more of the armored watchman's reinforcing they need to make a breach and I think this is going to be exactly where they want to go through do have been really smart as well as they basically gone ahead and saved a lot of their very good uh Pikeman until the enemy are running lower and lower on ammunition you can see a lot of these marksmen only have a handful of shots left they do have a supply Barrel so they'll be able to resupply some of their archers but obviously the supporting archers as well all trying to focus these guys down they they just need to get this Cavalry inside the settlement if they can get that inside the settlement then they're going to be laughing all the way to the bank we another a massive engagement them forces we were talking about the affiliate Rangers have been overrun now just a sheit pressure of soldiers and without them Warden and supporting them the meilian Rangers are going to be cut to Pieces look how awesome this unit is as well these are tomb Raiders and look at them warhammers very equip it they're equipped with it looks like they kind of got like some makeshift Dwarven armor that I guess they've raided and and now they're bringing that to bear that looks like such a beastly unit supported by the the obviously the evil men here as well with their warhammers and axes able to send that off packing pretty nicely uh the walls though the walls are being lost on this right hand side it seems like Boromir even though he is not moving himself in has done a great job here ideally what he want to do is probably now try and get these archers actually on the walls if they can get the archers on the walls they can then start firing down opening up the gate Force because because this gate assault yeah it is basically just useless right now there's there's literally nothing these units can do charging against Pikes I guess they're here just to kind of try and keep these units at Bay and not get them to be committed elsewhere oh another beautiful cavalry charge here he horse archers putting down their bows whipping out their swords and are now smashing into the side of these archers the ni of damroth are reacting but just a little bit too late but by the time they get over here I think unfortunately these archers are going to see that all is lost however the pressure right here is going pretty well the uh the arrow fire is definitely getting his pound of Flesh and again the uh the missile fire is is kind of getting some good shots in and they are running low lower and lower on the ammunition if we take a look at the numbers and the balance of power we can see that the uh The Defenders are actually do now have more men they have about 500 more soldiers left to be brought into this battle which is good and I think they're going to be starting to really start putting the pressure unless the attackers can get themselves a bit more embedded I mean they're making great progress as I mentioned on the walls D of coming down and they're killing like nigh hunters and that's something to keep in mind as well when it does come to the actual sizes of the armies is evil forces generally always have dramatically more men so this is probably a bit more even than it looks and on top of that we also have a lot of the am like The Archers who no longer have ammunition so they're basically lot more useless uh than say the attacking archers who have plenty more shots left remaining as they continue to volley in and cause some pretty decent damage the pyan are pushing in now and again this is a very deadly unit that is now going to be able to do some really serious work cuz yeah just look at them able to kind of keep the enemy of bay they're a little bit out flanked but immediately being reinforced by some armored Watchmen and then the arrow fire comes in as well now this unit of elite uh black neoran can no longer put their Shields above their heads to protect because they're engaged which means that ammunition is going to really start to rack up we even have some caval trying to push through here again this is melee Cavalry and also heavy shot Cavalry so should be okay but getting the prolonged engagement more Arrow Fire coming in they're going to be definitely definitely struggling they need this push to kind of go in their favor and they need to exploit it they need to immediately bring these guys over immediately charge in here open up this breach get the Cavalry in and then start running down these archers javelins are being thrown over to the breach as quickly as possible these guys will do some serious damage also taking the gate I mean the gate is actually currently open they could probably run some Cav through there but I think maybe they're being nice and accepting that it's uh yeah not going to be a thing on top of this as well this unit of gundabad is going to be down however I think the assault on this side is very rarely positioned right there we also have fought four units of archers let's get these bad boys on the wall and let's start using them here we go yeah can we going up onto that position yeah if you get the marches on there they have all their ammunition start shooting down on this oh my God that unit will be just mince Meed so even though things are looking really good honestly like I will say that things are looking pretty decent for the Defenders right now there's still a lot of bad situations can go down for them as I said the pike of pushing out doing some really good damage killing the javelin man the men of damroth here are busy fighting a lot of the lighter nigh Hunters which will just melt to their weapons they're losing positions on the wall even though their Cavalry is still harassing and now archers are going to be getting up on theall I think was probably glitching out to be honest archers definitely have a much harder time of getting up these ladders in the older games luckily now in Warhammer you can just click on The Siege Tower and it does bring you up which is actually really really nice and this fight is still going on oh who died did Prince IM Hill die oh I think Prince imel went down oh my no how that sucks and now the Cav the eastl Cav is now pushing out yeah these guys are going aggressive here which actually not a bad idea a lot of the soldiers are now on the wall so they can move complet completely out the settlement and look to exploit that that's a smart move there by the Defenders like even utilizing these Gates as well would not be a bad idea just to get your soldiers out because yeah there is no def I mean obviously you do have a unit of uh of Cavalry right there but outside of that there's actually not too much to worry about yeah and here we have it the forces are now engaged outside the settlement the black num manorian pushing out with everything they've got however this would be a great opportunity get this Cavalry around like get the Cavalry around and then hit these guys in the side you'll break them pretty quickly however we are going for another charge the other prince M Hill cuz there are two there the gondorian one and the damroth one is looking to make his way in uh he's going to be met by a javelin volley which is going to do a lot of damage you need to keep on going my friend what are you doing don't get out of there yeah that was a very very uh I guess nonant charge which didn't really achieve much unfortunately there's even these four brave brave U right here uh what a cool unit as well Berserkers of gabad amazing guys are going to charge in and probably slice some heads off I wouldn't be surprised if we saw them take out a handful of the enemy y exactly like that these horse archers are actually trying to charge the uh the affiliate Rangers over on the extreme Left Flank luckily they've set their units up in a pretty smart way so that they can't get everyone charged Allin one and it does also seem like as well the forces of gbad have now pushed outside the settlement so they're looking to basically destroy the defenders in one big go right here and there's just not enough Cor ation I think between the the attackers to really punish this I think you know proper players um or I guess I guess if people are better communicating they'd be able to actually go ahead and really punish coming out the settleman and giving up them defense defenses but because the reaction has been kind of slow to kind of punish these uh they've really got away with it and I think the Defenders are going to clean this one up now able just to utilize that big shock factor of sallying out the Cavalry to really punish their opponents and yeah once this caval gets out here it's going to be able to really start looking at these lighter infantry and bring them down granted for again it is just with these weaker goblins which an ailan Ranger could kill five 10 of them before even taking a Nick to his armor don't forget as well we also do have Boromir in this unit so boram's Elite guard is busy fighting here I'm trying to pinpoint him I can't actually see him right now he does have obviously about round Shield so he should be a bit easier to see as his guard takes down another of these good to bad troops and he is forming up and again I think this overconfidence is definitely hurting them like they're pushing out and they're losing a lot of these soldiers and they continue to Sally out more and more soldiers uh the Cav is going to be a real pain to deal with however look at that yeah darro has been completely uh dominated over on this side and they they basically Prince IM Hill running he actually dismounted okay okay was one way to do it try and K as many as possible uh but yeah that's that's not looking good Boromir is holding and we still have this big resistance Bo right here which is still fighting that g toad warlord unit that is crazy yeah there's all of this hill soldiers moving their way out I think this is the beginning of the end this last pocket of gondorian soldiers though able to kill the eastling general so he's now just gone down the Storm Rider uh I have been saying this as well I can't find Boromir he's in here somewhere he hasn't gone down I'm looking for someone with Al the helmet and I literally cannot see him I must be blind I must be cuz I just cannot find him in in this block and I wanted to watch him fight cuz he definitely hasn't gone down yet either cuz there's been no notification about him specifically maybe when the squad gets a bit more thinned out but yeah this is basically the Last Stand now gond able to kill a lot of the Cavalry and Prince IM was still doing a great job here holding the line but yeah that seems like it's going to be GG now the rest of the units coming out it's going to probably be enough to finish off what remains of this assault so Boromir has failed I honly as well wonder how that would have affected the fellowship as well if Boromir died here and never made it to the fellowship would the fellowship have broken so easily cuz really obviously Boromir was the main uh you know the kind of the final straw that kind of pushed Frodo out into the Wilderness but also about Boromir would they have survived Moria you know there's all these questions and how a simple change would have been enough to uh yeah would have been enough to completely change the course of the fellowship uh but yeah that seems like it's going to be it for the battle right there the Defenders able to put up a pretty decent stand and I think honestly that Sally out and the lack of reaction to the allies of the attackers was what ended up you kind of seeding that battle to The Defenders they were able to take out a large portion of the attacking Force right there uh and not really lose too much so that was a really nice push right there and that is going to be a victory for them if you guys enjoyed this battle make sure to drop a like and a comment down below I'd really appreciate it if you could get this video to 300 likes and if you guys want to see more dawnless day 0.8 on the new update then of course let me know in the comments and I'll see you guys in the next
