Divide and Conquer V3.0: TimeLapse: Third Age Total War Mod (A.I. Only)

Welcome, to the first ever TimeLapse for Third Age Total War Divide and Conquer V3.0. This is an A.I. Only Campaign between all the factions in Middle Earth.

Divide and Conquer is a Submod for Third Age Total War, which is a Mod for Medieval 2 Kingdoms TW. Lord of the Rings Theme.

This Mod released today and I immediately set to work making this. Of course, these are not easy, so subscriptions to the Regime, I mean Channel, are highly appreciated as well as shares likes and everything else. : )

Also, do people like the new Microphone? I still need to mess with the settings and get something so you cannot hear my mouse, so it is not fully ready yet. : )

Message to the Devs if they see this:
- The AI works great. It seems more aggressive than before, but the turn timer seem slightly slower.
- Rhun, from what I saw works much better.
- It is now possible for the AI to take the Hornburg, they could do it in previous patches, but it was very rare.
- Harad, like in 2.2 seems underpowered.
- I like how the Dwarves of Khazad Dum as an AI faction take part now.

Of course, this is just some things I spotted in the AI only, having a human player involved may effect it slightly differently.

The Time-lapse were it's Medieval 2 but all factions start in Africa has been rescheduled from Tuesday to Friday. : )

Will Mordor and Sauron be able to cover the World in a Second Darkness, or will the Free Peoples Rise up and take their freedom?
Will the One Ring be found. And, if so, who will wield it?
And which faction alone will become the Greatest Empire of Middle Earth?

Found out here.

Enjoy : )

Ok, I got lost for about an hour in you're videos, that's worthy of a sub

[Greninjia]

Melkor new mic makes him even more amazing

[deerhunter]

I like the new mic Melkor :D and congrats on hitting 2k! ... also Go Rhun! :D

[Gniew]

Thanks for the work. The mic is better and your voice is clearer, but there's a quiet hum in the background. Maybe a little tinkering with the settings will get rid of it :)

[IronMan]

Everyone knows that don't they, that Sauron is not at all ambitious and a very laid back chap. Really an absolute lad, Sauron! lol

[mikel]

The new factions didn't do very well :(
Vale of Anduin did nice and Imladris did something!!
Dunland and Rhun keep being op against the AI

[irohn]

I learned about the release of version 3.0 thanks to this video hahahhah, for some reason youtube thought that the installation video of Arachir was not important enough.
Nice timelapse, and your new mic sounds great, it sounds a lot ''cleaner''.

*GLORY TO RHUN* *GLORY TO THE GOLDEN HORDE*

[dominicperez]

You sound so much better with the new microphone!

A legend would be really handy for this, I was pretty much just guessing which faction was which

[JirkaGasik]

I wouldn't write off the good factions yet. The thing is, it rarely happens that A.I.'s declare wars to other than their immediate neighbors. So, I think Lindon would have destroyed Dunland and this would have brought them into contact with Isengard - very close to Isengard's heartland, actually. Depending on the level of engagement between Isengard and Vale of Anduin, Lindon might have swept through Isengard as well. This would bring them into contact with a strong Mordor, but by that time they would have held massive expanse of land as well. The northern portion of the map would be interesting and would affect how well Lindon would eventually do. But this was still doable for the good factions.
All in all, I think it was premature to end it there and then.

[Rukdug]

Anduin did surprisingly well. And are somehow holding the line against Isengard. Big problem was that Bree suddenly collapsed, I think because of regicide or something. Because they were acting as a decent check to Dunland for a while.

[cloverfan]

Dol Amroth looks like it would be quite the disaster campaign. Wonder if it’s winnable/survivable.

[thetyrant]

oh shit glad to see mah boiz in Isengard doing well.
LOOKS LIKE MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU BOIZ

[Roadwarior]

Nah I’m pretty sure the bad guys would’ve gotten their shit pushed in eventually since the Anduin, Blue Mountain Dwarves, and Grey Havens looked like their rape train was chugging south again.

[mandigopersona]

Hey during the time lapse what song was that I really enjoyed it

[srdjanvitorovic]

Rohan needs to get some kind of a bust... When you play as them is always a very good campaing, but they end up loosing unless you intervene, when controled by AI.

[slavophiledreams]

Whats up with invasions?
I read somewhere that they're cancelled and in my gondor playthrough somewhere near turn 120 it FINALLY happened but to Imladris :((.
I adore this feature, can somebody tell me how it is changed now? I used to have them every few dozen turns (it depended on how quickly i gor rid of them and if they managed to show up on time) .I know the AI is stupid and its not good for them to send 2 full stacks on a lets be honest fools errand but hey its fantastic! I played heavy on this mod and not once did AI got destroyed because it sent those 2 stacks to me or somewhere else.
I would be happy if somebody can clear this up for me, thank you in advance!!!

Damn already? You work pretty efficiently, huh?
And oh yeah, that new mic sounds really damn good. My ears don't slighlty hurt when you say anything involving an "s" anymore, which is really nice. Good job man!
