Khazâd ai-mênu! Third Age: Total War (DAC EUR) - Khazad-dûm - Episode 1

JAAAAAA ÄNTLIGEN EN NY CAMPAIGN!!! 🎉🎉😍😍

Great campaign so far the balrog attacks you at a later date keep up the great work

I was actually searching for a good KD campaign, you just came clutch my friend.. looking forward to another awesome campaign

Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu! "Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!"

Finish where I started my friend!❤

Hello, mate. So nice to see a new campaign with the EUR mod. Perfect! You have a good campaign and you had an epic road into Mirkwood. Good battle management and good handling of the battles. Now, as you handle the situation in Khazad-dum, maybe you're right, as you claim KD East as well and then you return to repel the Goblin attacks that will surely come for you. The Balorg, since you are the Drawfs of Khazad-dum, has its own script that will kick in due time, don't expect to face the Balrog now. And don't be hasty about this... Good that you look for your economy and your first thought is the mines - we both know that if you play Dwarfs, mines are the very first you need to do. And I agree that fighting the battle in KD East now is the best, so as to be able to reinforce your capital.
Trash King shambles in his fat ass, the Balrog shits his pants! Baruk Khazad, Khazad ai-menu!
And would I ever leave you without a good story for a good faction? NEVER! Here we have the first episode:

Balin was never deterred by Dain, as he insisted in going to reclaim their home of old. The time had come, sensed Balin, and albeit the terrors, he was willing to make his try. Even when Dain said that there were rumours willing to split the power of the Dwarfs, to make the resistance in the North weak, Balin said that they could exploit this and give Sauron a bigger threat right in the underbelly of his vassals. Dain agreed to let the expedition only in the promise that should Balin succeed, he would be the vassal of the King and the expansion of his realm would be only under the limits of the King. Balin agreed eagerly, suggesting that these were his own thoughts as well. And only then Dain gave his blessing.
As they were to depart, however, a strange company of heavily armed Dwarfs came. They were not many, but who could not recognise the Dragonslayers of Ered Mithrim?.. But among them, there were two cousins, Broin and Borin, the first being a mason, the other being a smith. Balin eagerly accepted them, as he had a dire need of such Dwarfs. And in their road into Mirkwood they proved to be great warriors as well. And in the epic battle of Khazad-dum, in the end of their long road, they wewre in the very front with their shields and axes forth, driving the way to the center of the battle, towards the Goblin that had the title "Conqueror of Moria"... He soon bit the dust as the two reached him, put him in the middle and their shields blocked his big axe. Then, simultaneously, brought their axes on his head...

As Oin joined Balin's expedition to get the rest of the city, Oin got close to Borin. "You had a very good battle, my dear", he said. "Would you like something more of it?".
"What do you mean, my Lord?", Borin asked. "I am very well as I am right now. But if you want to make a proposition, please go on".
"I would like you to join my bodyguard, if you wish to", Oin said. "You'll go where I go, you will guard me and you will be close to the center of the action. As well as you'll be the smith of my bodyguard".
"Come on, cousin!", Broin said from nearby, as he was hearing. "You are a good man and a great smith. Come on, join!".
Borin was quite hesitant, however he finally, after quite a silence, he accepted. And Oin was very happy.
"What of my cousin, my Lord?", Borin asked Oin. "He's my cousin, the son of the sister of our late father. I feel responsible for him".
"And you should not", Oin said. "As our Lord wants him to join the newly appointeed governor of Khazad-dum, Gimli. We need stuff repaired and built, so your cousin has quite some work to do...".
"I'll gladly offer my forces to the reconstruction of our ancient home", Broin said.
The two cousins touched each other to the shoulder wishing "Good luck" to each other. Then, Borin followed Oin as they went to the barracks prior to the expedition. Broin looked as he disappeared in a turn nearby, before taking his tools to refer to Gimli.

Awesome choice, very excited to see the direction here

Good to see a new campaign, Dwarves on always one of my favorites, to just tank everything. Admittedly, I did fall off a bit in the Adunaim campaign, i'll try to stay on this one!

when will be next episode

yoo, i swear to god i was gonna suggest you do this campaign after ar-adunaim was done, rly excited for this

YES FINALLY! :3

i installed the EUR submod and my god it's on a whole new level then DAC. I so love this game

ITS FLIPPIN TIME!!!

My computer don't like this mod very much it crashes very often so wen I see your video I click instantly ❤

BARUK KHAZAD! KHAZAD AI MENU!

As soon as i saw the Khazad dum, i pressed the like button! Hope this gets into a long series!

I actually just started this campaign 3 days ago I'm on turn 135 in a unending death war with gundabad and the misty mountain goblins

Yahoo!
Mind you, I have had some issues using music from LotR Online. Maybe some of the tracks will be fine though.

Still waiting for that Rohan campaign. This will be a good one regardless! If you didnt know and have base game Crusader Kings 3, there's an overhaul mod for LOTR called Realms in Exile. I think you'd thoroughly enjoy it!

yes yes yes, I've been waiting for this a long time

I love me a Khazad-dum playthrough.

ALWAYS LOVED TO SEE

Buzzing with the new campaign bro! Your last campaign was epic ma friend x

i hope you enjoy the tier 2 archers i had perry add them when we removed the Dwarven travelers!!

Ligzid looking at the stone builders hall (2 turns) that reduces construction speed by 20%, then deciding to build the mining network instead which takes 10 turns hurt me, it literally would have been equally as fast to build the stone builders hall first then the mining network.

Info on this campaign the Balrog spawns somtime in 2993 you have a couple years to prepare if you want to fight the balrog DO NOT send a diplomat to Bree which will cause Gandalf to fight it for you, also save before the balrog fight because sometimes it crashes the game happy hunting and i look forward to this campaign

Hey! Spitty here from EUR! The Balrog will spawn, after you have KDW, and have sent a Diplomat too Bree, to talk with Gandalf. Get the Defenses ready dwarfs! Happy hunting and campaign!

Khazadum are the best of the dwarves, nice to see them used

It's incredibly easy to turtle to much and get overwhelmed as kazad dum, you have plenty of troops to be pretty aggressive before any other scripts happen, I recommend pushing west and establishing yourself on that side of the mountain. Go fast and lucky enough you could even push out all the goblins that side of the mountain before you have to worry about another scripted attack on your capital

New episode better keep it completely finishing 😂 not like trash king episodes ❤

Give us a livestream friend so I can pop some nicotine and lock in with you.

and another video series that will take alot of time out of my rl. damn you again ;)

btw: you know you can just right click on the cities, armies and agents buttons in the bottom middle above your units to get directly to the pages for them? no need to click through some menus just to find an army or spy/diplomat

Does the EUR work with DAC v5.0 because on the website it states that it works with DAC v5.1

Can anyone confirm? thanks

Khazad ai menu!!!!
🗿💪🚬

baruk khazad

If you can't stand me when I baruk khazad you don't deserve me when I khazad ai menu

BARUK KAZAD

Last I played the Balrog spawns a few turns after Balin visits the Mirrormere, I belive this doesn't prompt until you have a number of settlements or 10s of turns go by.
After Balin visits the Mirrormere, it will give you 2-3 turns to prepare for the fight with the Balrog. You will also get a prompt to send a diplomat to Bree, doing so will have Gandalf take care of the Balrog for you making the fight MUCH easier. I'd recommend getting ballista recruitment online asap after the mines of course.

Good Luck Ligizd!

Balrog script (if you didn't send a diplomat to bree) starts around turn 60. The game will prompt you to send Balin out to the lake just outside khazad-dum where he will be ambushed by a goblin army (so don't send him alone). Then you'll be asked to bring Balin back into khazad-dum, where a couple of turns later an army of goblins + balrog will siege the city.
If you do send for Gandalf, I believe the same thing happens just without the balrog.

Why didnt you recruit the mercenaries to help with your second battle? I feel like the bandits and merchant cav will add valuable numbers to your army.

Anyone know why the renown is zero and no ancillaries?

Very excited for this! I’m playing KD as well! I didn’t send a diplomat to Gandalf and fought the Balrog. He is insanely tanky. I destroyed the whole army but the Balrog and only lost 14% of my army by the time the balrog was done my whole army was as well and I had to fight him again!

About the bug with anduin vale... Not sure what causes is but if it happens again an easy fix is to just save when the bug happens and then load that new save it will fix it.

Yeazz! Hejsan🖐🌞

Ligizd and Izzy.
Twin pillars of the empire!

siuuuu

Coming over from Izzy's channel! Looking forward to your videos

Hi, coming over by recommendation of Izzy and i couldn't help but notice those elves didn't learn the value of a defensive line, just as they did in the five armies (movie, jumping over the dwarf phalanx) they did so again with their own walls lol

DONT FORGET THE CITATION IN BFME 2 NOTHING IS GREATER THAN THE POWER OF DVARWES
