LOTR BFME in just 10 minutes...

well not really, could not squeeze in skirmish or online modes under the limit. But I stitched together:

1. The opening cinema and main menu.
2. The cinema and start of the good campaign.
3. The cinema and start of the evil campaign.

If this is enough to wet your appetite for more, you can probably get the game cheaply. It was issued in 2004, and I recently got Battle for Middle Earth, BFME II and Rise of the Witch-king in a collector's edition for under $US40, including a bonus disk with all of the game manuals on one dvd. My first attempt at editing several videos together and as I record the audio and video seperately synchronization is a beatch, but enjoy!

I've been searching for years, does anyone know the name of the song on the map screen of middle earth? a clip of the song is from 3:35 to 4:11, plz if anyone could help i'd be appreciative. thx :)

@Dazaken I do not recall exactly where it comes into the film, but if memory serves, the song is the instrumental background to May It Be, as performed by Enya. At least it sounds like that. Maybe someone else knows for sure?

@OldFartKeyWester ok!

@assosfix Since you are apparently not a subscriber you may have missed the fact that I am in process of doing a full LP of the Evil Campaign and have also posted a complete 2 player skirmish map in 5 parts. You can find all of these at my channel, and please subscribe or bookmark if you want to see more. BTW all of the current videos are in 1080p HD!

@OldFartKeyWester levels mean nothing mate. =p

[assosfix]

@OldFartKeyWester make a second part....

[OldFartKeyWester]

@OldFartKeyWester Also, your record as a skirmisher updates your level, and as your level goes up the armies pitted against you become more difficult to beat, so you can spend lots of hours just playing skirmish! IMO I would buy the game just for the skirmish capability alone!

[OldFartKeyWester]

@TheEruIluvatar I agree. ROTWK is so different from the others, with a greater variety of units available, some very unique (half-trolls?) that it is a worthwhile game on its own whether or not you play the other two.

I should also point out that skirmish mode offers a lot of nice options, including playing for example rohan vs. rohan or gondor vs. rohan, and a LOT of maps ranging from 2 castles to 8 or more.

@overlord133 Interesting! I presume from your description that there is a bug which causes all of your units to die if you have not viewed the battle school tutorial? I have launched new games and started campaign without viewing the tutorial and not had that problem. Maybe you just need to view it once when you launch your first game?

@assosfix I do not recall ever calling anyone a "faggot". As I explained, a skirmish battle or even most of the missions in the campaign would be a lot longer than 10 minutes,and I just wanted to give a flavor of the game for those who may not have tried it, not to provide a detailed playthrough. It is a VERY big game for the time, and there are a lot of elements to explore, and I could not put all of it into a single video.

I disliked the vid because i think that u didnt show ANYTHING! and dont call me faggot because u could show skirmish gameplay,castle's siege,online gameplay better levels and battles and the powers of the heroes....moreover the strategy...
