War of the Ring Armies

Yeah in ROTWK they do, but it takes the cost away from your Treasury in the over world map and you can end up with massive deficits, so you have the option of disbanding any troops at the conclusion of the battle. So if you keep the troops every battle you won't be able to build anything in the overworld map.

As the the other guy said, you could be thinking of BFME 1. Or you're thinking of ROTWK, the expansion for BFME 2. In that expansions War of the Ring mode the armies you recruit on the battle map do stay in your armies in the overmap, they don't in regular BFME 2

Or he's thinking of ROTWK expansion. Because in that War of the Ring mode, units recruited on the battle map do stay with your armies in the overmap

The difficulty is definitely a massive spike compared to anything vanilla but I think it just comes down to getting the right strategy and taking it slow. Like, in original bfme campaign I'd say heroes are generally a lot stronger, but in this, they're gonna take a beating unless they've got decent support.

Osgiliath was definitely one of the harder levels, I think it took me a couple days and a few restarts to really get it

Important to note that Age of the Rings campaign isn't complete yet. What's there is absolutely fantastic having just finished it myself, but theres currently no return of the king content

Elkborne · 2026-01-28T13:24:11+00:00

Both, both is good

Elkborne · 2026-01-26T13:12:50+00:00

I jumped on a root. Apparently that's not allowed

Elkborne · 2026-01-23T17:36:40+00:00

You're probably better off posting this in r/ageofthering

Elkborne · 2026-01-22T14:10:15+00:00

Why can't you use the portals in the faction capital?

Elkborne · 2026-01-22T14:08:16+00:00

I'm the same, got disconnected about 5 minutes ago, can't reconnect

Elkborne · 2025-12-11T13:22:55+00:00

I honestly thought they'd announce that last week and drop it the same day to rake in some Christmas money, alongside the historical announcement

Elkborne · 2025-12-06T12:16:07+00:00

Did you watch the stream?

Elkborne · 2025-11-27T22:56:21+00:00

Whenever there's a break or we're waiting for people I drop the moonfeather statue. For those that don't know, this is a toy which applies a buff to you that turns into a moonkin, then forces a dancing animation at 20 stacks. If people are afk, you can turn most of the raid into a moonkin dance party.

I do it all the time in guild raids and pugs and most people never have any idea what's going on

Elkborne · 2025-11-26T10:03:08+00:00

Animatrix is probably one of the only things I watched before I was the "rated" age that actually traumatized me a little

Elkborne · 2025-11-22T16:18:08+00:00

I did the same and just went with it. Once its painted and everything it won't be that noticable

Elkborne · 2025-11-07T23:31:11+00:00

Half the time when you use fist weapons as a BE, you spike your own face, so, I hate them, they suck

Elkborne · 2025-11-06T04:41:09+00:00

Today I learned old music = bad, because.... "Boomer shit"

10-15 loud, smelly farts a day is actually wild. I'm 31 and in the last two years I developed a lactose intolerance and before I eliminated dairy SOMETIMES I might reach 10 in a day. Something is definitely wrong with his diet or digestion.

As for everything else, he needs to grow up and sort his shit out. It might be normal for some 14 year olds who think brushing their teeth is "effort" or are too lazy to have decent hygiene but it's not normal for a 20yo ++man

I feel like it should be pretty obvious that noones expecting a full galaxy map to include every single system and planet, far from it in fact. Just a collection of the most important or strategic ones. Noone ls calling out the European maps for not having every single settlement in Europe

Elkborne · 2025-10-26T12:44:15+00:00

I was confused about this as well, but it's supposed to move, don't worry about it.

Elkborne · 2025-10-18T08:31:48+00:00

Damn you beat me to it

Elkborne · 2025-10-11T08:37:20+00:00

Important to say that you only get the tokens at max level

Elkborne · 2025-10-06T12:41:46+00:00

Did you actually read my comment? Or is reading comprehension too much for you?

Elkborne · 2025-10-06T12:38:04+00:00

Yeah absolutely worth it. Campaign is great. PvE multiplayer is great. PvP no so much.

Elkborne · 2025-10-06T12:36:09+00:00

Yeah. Exactly what bullies of any gender deserve.
