third age total war divide and conquer map

You have two ultra-elite generals who will change the battle for you - Aragorn, who has the custom Grey Company bodyguard, an elite sword and shield infantry unit, and Halbarad, who has Dunedain Steelbowmen. Ered Luin should be allied as soon as possible, but be careful as the Ered Luin ring script may cause them to break their alliance with you and no longer be at war with Angmar, which will make it even harder to fight Angmar.

The High Elves are more aggressive and will help against the Goblins of Moria, but Bree will likely do very little to help. Angmar has been buffed in this version, and will start sending half stacks of units to full stacks of units towards Ost Sul by turn 15. The Goblins of Moria will definitely attack you from the South, attempting to take the village of Tirdhuin, south of Ost Sul, as early as turn 2. Your starting enemies will be Angmar and the Goblins of Moria, with the Dunlendings likely to join in a war against you in the future.Īs of v4.5, the Northern Dunedain have a tough early game. You begin the game allied to Bree and the High Elves, and the Dwarves of Eren Luin are likely alliance targets in the future. Your capital is protected from the South by a river, but there is a crossing in the East that the orcs will likely use to threaten your capital. The terrain around you is mostly grassland and forest be wary of ambushing units, especially rebels in the early game. You start with a small amount of staring forces in each city, but also two other forces: a general with four units in a fort Northwest of your cities, between Annúminas and Deadman's Dike/Fornost, and Halbarad of the North with two units of Dunedain Rangers to your West, near Metraith.

There are many rebel settlements to capture in the surrounding area, so rapid expansion is possible. Both are small, so initial income is limited. The Northern Dunedain start with two cities - Fennas Drúnin, the capital, and Ost Súl, a village.
