- Gondor! Gondor, between the Mountains and the Sea!
West Wind blew there; the light upon the Silver Tree
Fell like bright rain in gardens of the Kings of old.
O proud walls! White towers! O wingéd crown and throne of gold!
O Gondor, Gondor! Shall Men behold the Silver Tree,
Or West Wind blow again between the Mountains and the Sea?

~ Gondor was the most prominent kingdom of Men in Middle-earth, bordered by Rohan to the north, Harad to the south, the cape of Andrast and the Sea to the west, and Mordor to the east. Its first capital was Osgiliath, moved to Minas Anor in TA 1640. This city, later renamed Minas Tirith, remained the capital of Gondor for the rest of the Third Age and into the Fourth Age; other major fortresses included Pelargir, Dol Amroth in Belfalas and Minas Ithil.
#Boromir #Faramir #Gondor
Hello, mate. Nice start of the campaign and the unification with Dol Amroth gave us a bunch of territory which makes good money- and, as you pointed out, some more problems too. Of course, the Adunaim will attack you, as you are their archenemy and they are dedicated to Sauron. Boromir and Faramir will surely hold the line of Anduin and Eastern Osgiliath will be a good grave for the Orcs if it is properly developed. I liked very much the look of Gondor Pikemen, though I think that the typical Gondorian shield is simply too big for someone who has to use a weapon with both his hands... I hope that later the Pikemen will not have shields (please, mate, pass this to the dev team, it's more logical). In other terms, you have Duilin and one unit of Blackroot Vale Archers sitting in a fort, they should go to reinforce Hirluin in his attempt to hit Cirith Iaur- Hirluin needs these archers and you'd better give them to him. Then, surely Tharangrondost should be your next target. The other forces you have in forts need to get assembled and go forth. You have some very good generals in there, that add a good flavour to your forces. I believe two of them, along with some militia units, need to go for Tirithoros and Barad Harn, as Bolger states that there are some cool javelin units that you can get from there. Have this in mind for your development: the towns that are close to the front must priopitise military infrastructure, while the towns of the inner circle are your big money-makers, covering Lossarnach, Lamendon and Belfalas. Otherwise, good start and please show us the new units should you use them in battle.
And now, I have to invent a character for a story... 🤔🤔🤔I had a bit of a trouble to get one, but having considered some options, here we are:
Denethor was going back and forth, as the news for the first attacks from Mordor arrived to the White Tower. "So, it begins", he murmured. He then gave the order to form new battallions to march forth and the smiths should start to work on new armours and weapons. The messengers bowed and left with the orders of the Steward to hold the line of Anduin. Just some few days later, the news were better and Denethor didn't hide how happy he was, as both his sons had held heroic victories against armies two times bigger than the men they had, moreover Boromir has passed in the attack, claiming Eastern Osgiliath. "This is my firstborn", he said, "he knows the will of the Steward and does his best with steel and might. Tell immediately the others to march forth with what they can".
"My Lord", said one of the councellors, "Hirluin of Pinath Gelin has gathered a force with him and marches on to Cirith Iaur. He says in his message that his intention is to claim the town and have an eye towards Enedwaith".
"And he asks for what?", Denethor asked.
"Reinforcements, my Lord", the councellor replied.
"Tell Hirluin that he has the affirmative response of the Steward", was Denethor's reaction. "Duinhir has some archers with him, tell him to reinforce Hirluin now. After Cirith Iaur, the target should be Tharangrondost, so as to have the whole line".
"Of course, my Lord", the councellor replied before he left.
A bit later, Denethor was in the smith district with the leader of the smith guild, a man named Egalmoth. A new blacksmith had appeared in the town and Denethor wanted to visit him. He claimed to be Indrazor, a man of Numenorean descent, who had come from the south and seeked refuge with his two children in Minas Tirith. He was a capable smith, doing a lot of tools in the months of his presence, as well as some good weapons. Egalmoth said that Indrazor showed a big interest towards the sword smithing and he had made around twenty of them, which had gone to Faramir's forces in Cair Andros. Boromir's servants had also ordered some swords and it was said that Boromir had asked Indrazor to make some for him. Denethor was interested in the fact that he came from the south and he was a Numenorean.
Outside the place where Indrazor lived, Denethor saw a simple place, like every other smith had in the district. Inside, there was a girl sitting behind the stand tyding some tools, while from the inside noises were heard, showing that someone was working. The girl raised her head.
"My daughter", Egalmoth said. "we seek your father. The Steward of Gondor has shown his interest. Could we please meet him?".
A tall man came from inside, wearing black and having a boy by his side. Both were holding hammers. The man stared into Denethor's eyes for a while, before giving the correct greeting: "Hail Denethor, son of Ecthellion, Steward of the Kingdom of Gondor. How can I be of help?".
"So, you are Indrazor the Numenorean", Denethor said. "I just came to see you, as my sons seem to have you at the top of their expectations in what is about swords".
"A great honour, my Lord", Indrazor replied, "but I don't deserve it. I simply do my job".
"How come that you know of sword smithing?", Denethor asked.
"I come from a smithing family, my Lord", Indrazor replied. "My father Eldrazor was a trader and a smith and he passed a lot of his years in the South selling a lot of weapons, but mostly swords. As a child, I have passed with him in many places in Rhun, Harad and Khand selling swords and I have learnt from him how to make a sword".
"I see", Denethor replied. "I heard that you seek refuge in Gondor".
"Unfortunately, my Lord", Indrazor replied. "I came here from the passages of Ethir Anduin after an attack in the village I was living with my family. I was the lucky to be here with both my children, but others could not".
"Where you lived at first?", Denethor asked.
"Amon Eithel", Indrazor replied. "We tried to seek refuge into the town as the Haradrim advanced, but the army set the siege before I could reach the walls. Be bypassed the town and reached the passages from Tirithoros, afterwards fro m Linhir and Carasast I came here".
"It's only you three, I see", Denethor said, to receive an affirmative nod from Indrazor. "Welcome, then, to Gondor. Every capable man is needed in the dark hours to come. If you serve Gondor well, you'll be awarded".
As Denethor left, Indrazor all his children bowed in a greeting.
"What do you think, my Lord", one of Denethor's close servants asked him. "He seems a good man and a capable smith, but I feel that there are more things to say about him".
"Sure for this", Denethor replied. "Where is his wife? And I feel that this man is hiding too much. Have him under watch".
The servant nodded in agreement.
Very cool to read your story, however the pikemen does not have shields you might have seen the Gondor spearmen standing next to them
Thanks for your stories mate :)
@@mavericksus1160 hey Mav! Nice to see a comment of yours. Thanks for the explanation. VERY nice work, I love them and I look forward to see the other units too.
Πουσε ρε νικο
This city was once the jewel of our kingdom! A place of light, and beauty, and music. And so it shall be once more! Let the armies of Mordor know this: Never again, will the land of my people fall into enemy hands! The city of Osgiliath, has been reclaimed, for Gondor!
For Gondor!
@@jorvach9874 FOR GONDOR
FOR GONDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic! Best of luck with the new series Ligizd!
Hey thanks you beautiful man!
"Hmm I wonder if this series will have an epic intro?"
starts watching
"Oh OK then"
Yes! Gotta love a faction that's heavy on defense and holding back the tides of darkness. More than anything though, I absolutely _love_ the way Gondor's units evolve and develop as the game goes on. Unlike pretty much every other faction, Gondor's units tend to have actual visual changes for each armor and weapon upgrade and honestly that's my favorite thing to see. I'd love more than anything if the devs went through and added visual upgrades to as many faction troops as possible, because watching your forces visibly become more advanced and powerful as they upgrade is immeasurably helpful when it comes to immersion and depth.
EDIT:
On a different note, if any devs happen to read this, _please_ for the love of god get rid of auto resolve restriction for hardcore mode! I'd love to activate it and get more immersion by seeing armies basically suffer attrition while trying to keep a settlement under siege, but removing auto resolve means I (and everyone else I've seen talking about it) will never touch that feature in a million years. Without auto resolve you'd have to fight every tedious battle no matter if it's a full stack against a single unit, you'd not be able to use it to make sure a general (allied or enemy) is able to escape if they lose (since auto resolve typically doesn't kill them), and you'd lose ways of auto resolving battles that are bugged and crash the game. I can't tell you how many times auto resolve has saved my campaign since once in a while I'll run into battles which immediately crash the game.
I agree with you here. There is times when auto resolve is the only option to proceed in the campaign
Would love to add visual upgrade for everyone but sadly we are lacking modelers in our team and its a bit of a learning curve, atm we are relying on the AGO mod team to update models which we get by default, all of the new units for Gondor do have visual upgrades though.
The hardcore mode is not something we added but is a feature from AGO as well, Ill bring it up with the team and we can see if we can figure something out
You absolutely nailed it on every theme here
Finally I can find out where Gondor was when the Westfold fell. :D
I think what makes pike generals so easy to get killed are the fact that the general itself is a sword user so he tends to charge ahead while the rest of his soldiers stand in formation and finally pikes take forever to turn around and retreat so the general has to wait until they are ready
Sounds right. Hope you enjoyed the video :)
It is indeed, as long as you put the General's pike unit center and on hold position you are usually good, but its a good idea to keep a unit close by in case he decides to rush out on his own
i love how the first battle is literally babysitting the pike general
LOOKS LIKE GONDOR IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS!!!!
Hell yeah
In SUS there are multiple new fiefdom units. One of these units you can only get in Tirithoros and Barad Harn it is a Javelin Cavalry, so make sure you grab these settlements!
Jav cav would be amazing to have
"He getting closer to the frontlines this bastard"😆😆😆😆😆
Man, I totally feel you pain managing the pike general. While pikes are excelent unit to hold the line, the fact that their commander is roaming off the post with only a sword is a pain in the ass. I also tried every trick to save those generals, putting left flank somewhat back instead at right angle or overlaping the left side of line with another unit to shield the damn fool - with mixed results. Once I was defending Tharagrondos from Corsair invasion (in original TA:TW) and I won the encounter but didnt end the battle as I want to kill 85% of enemy forces and my Tower kill him, once I mop down twofull stack armies of Mordor, led by Gothmog and nazgul with less that 200 loses, but Boromir was one of them, despite his unit lost like 4-5 men (he is pike/helebard genereal in DAC and AGO so I replayed the battle and still won but this time with almost 800 loses, so I was foreced to stop my advance and regroup my army giving Mordor time to fortify Minas Morgul...
Love to see a SUS Gondor campaign on CZcams! Good luck mate for this, you'll need it!
Hey thanks mate
Super excited for this campaign man! Good luck!
Thanks man :)
Great episode as always
I don't want to spoil any scripts if you don't want it spoiled but if I remember right from one of the developer notes that there's a script in place that slowly makes denathor insane from the planteir and once he'd gets really bad off and he is killed off boromir gets an improved bodyguard
That is a DAC script not something SUS added
You should get your new general that you put in Osgiliath into Calenhad so he can start getting good traits, hopefully good mining traits
That's a good idea :)
Very good episode m8y
Can't wait to see the next one
But make sure to have an economical ports in all the costal regions... They are good money to be sure..
Beside u need a good navy ships.. So u can be able to sink the AR adunaim when they come to you..
Looking forward to see more of this campaign.. 💕🙂
Thanks mate. Yeah now without Dol Amroth i really should invest in a solid fleet
Very good one, i would muster the Cair Andros and Osgiliath armies and march forward, your troops are good and once you retrain the hurt battalions you are good to go. i would either go for Minas Morgul or for the rebel settlements across the river. Getting Minas Morgul tho will bring Mordor to a stop from going south on those rebel towns, so i would go for that.
In a sense it was to be expected that the faction would come out champion. It's interesting the path and the choices you made. very careful with the borders of the kingdom!!!
i'm already wheezing so hard while reading the welcome to divide and conquer intro text made by Izzy using galadriel voice but ended up laughing while reading. XD God freaking damn it
Boromir and Faramir lead the fight in the earstern front against Mordor but Imrahil must command the troops you have in the south to fight against Harad Khand and Umbar
Great episode!
3 gondors ligizd the goat 🐐. izzy the squeaky boy and pixellated appolo the first person I see channel related to dac
This is just MOS [Massive Overhaul Sub-mod], but then for Divide & Conquer. History does repeat itself it seems.
How did he take over Dole Amroth?
So, they brought back some units: the pikemen and the marines. Cool.
Don't use the shield wall when defending against infantry.
You can also try to block the sea passageways between Fanuilond and Barad Harn with your ships.
This doesn't work. I also had this big brain idea during one of my own playthrough but it seems the AI still manages to get passed the ships. Ships don't block land units.
@@blitz3391It does work but it's tricky to block all the pathways.
I look forward to follow this.
Thanks Kalle :)
I’m getting shivers
Mission accomplished :D! Hope you enjoy
A little late to the party but: The optimal building on turn 1 is not the builder's hall. You can't saturate the building queue of all your settlements at the start. Meeting halls for free generals are an obvious first choice. But after that, farms are the backbone of human economies. They make the most money and add to growth. Get the 3 turn ones asap. The first tier of blacksmiths and the first tier of market place have very quick return of investment too. Mines have a very short return of investment too.
The power of the great stones....imagine if those fellas lived along side us today. Smart phones would rock their world. How we take our modern age for granted.
3:19 Excellent music choice!
This is going to be good 👍👍
I hope so :P. I'm still scared shitless from my last Gondor campaign haha
Pumped for the new campaign! Is this the latest SUS? I just started a SUS Gondor campaign a little while ago and it had a couple more custom generals (one at Minas Tirith with Gondor Infantry and another Blackroot Archer one in the west somewhere plus I still got Adrahil from Dol Amroth). Not sure if mine is a bit old
He is playing the latest WIP version, where we nerfed Gondor substantially for the Player since the campaign was way to easy
@@ghostfire1249 Probably for the best. After I broke a couple large armies at Cair Andros in the beginning they just gave up and I steamrolled through the rest of the campaign. Still fun but not much challenge
Let’s goooo hyped for this campaign
KING
Don't give them a chance to flank you.. Remember they out number you
Little late to this but I find when defending cair andros never man the walls, just have a unit next to the gatehouse to have the towers active than pull back slowly to the hill
what it do what it do lad, great video
yes really sus
This is gonna be a real challenge!
I hope so :D
Good luck against all this KI without Baracks event :')
Hope i'm up for the challenge
Hi ligizd mate great intro to a good campaign just a tip in dac there is a bug when pikes are on guard mode they do not do their attack animation and they still hold the line
Ah okok :) thanks for telling. No more guardmode for the pikes then
@@Ligizd I did some research on it and the pikes in the base game did the pikewall animation and switched to their melee weapons but in DAC they do not have a Melee weapon so they just stand there confused and start walking the other way that is when their formation buckled if you noticed in the Cair Andros battle
anyway keep up the great work this is a nice contrast to the mordor campaign nice decision to unite gondor it will make for an intresting campaign to come in to the future this will be a long one keep up the great work
🔥🔥🔥
I always do stand on the bridge behind Cair Andros once mordor seiges than counter attack form Cair Andros and the people on the bridge behind are drawn in. Then guys can go back to forts and free maintenance places before end of turn.
For reasons that shouldn't need explaining, please rename the first adopted son of boromir into chadomir.
Keep up the good work
nice video:>
what is different with ago mods?
so many mods contain it
How did you take control of Dol Amroth
The night is passing
Ligizd you won the first campaign with Gondor in the other version because I helped you by giving you advice and planning the strategy of the great offensive against Mordor
you have learn and grow my former padawan I give you the title Jedi Knight as I have in my job of swimming teacher in swimming animation like aquabiking and aquafitness
Beware of the Uruk Hai Pikes of Cirith Iaur!
Hahaha 😂
You gave them to much of a foothold into your castle on first battle.
Like
POUR LE GONDOR !!!!!
Hope you have started putting your troops up at the gate..
Forgot all about Dol Amroth mate
Didn’t build anything there all episode!?!
:D
The unification is a submod?
Lies all lies, Osgillith is owned by the enemy .so is the garden of Gondor , My granny used to live in Ossy she was killed by an Orc while sat on the privy
Haha Dafuq? ^^
is this your way of punishing mordor after your tournament with Izzy? lol
Haha it's not me that's doing the tournament with Izzy, it's Saph :)
Братишка, как ты интегрировал Дол Амрот к Гондору?????

I don't think so might need to look that up
Brooouuu, where is you content??
Coming soon hopefully!
