But isen has the best infantry and cost efficient heroes in the game by far so... It's balanced.

+

So much 😭

THE PEOPLE OF MIDDLE EARTH DO NOT. GOOD RIDDANCE

Depend on lvl. first was lvl 1 second 2 was lvl 10 with Gandalf and Saruman pasives main ability. Gandalf goes white form, Saruman gets key of orthanc.

Not in this game, Saruman is more "tactic" with army buffs and good take kontrol spells, during gandalf is pure power creep. He can one shot almost anyone with his lvl 10 ability

Pfff... XD Did you watch the movie? Saruman even can't touch Gandalf

@@WyimaginowanyRzuRzel Grey gandalf is weaker, white is stronger, becuse saruman go grey in two towers. And movies sucks, in books you have much more informations.

@@TheMortiaris I dont like books. Books are for morons and nerds.

It was 2 wins to Gandalf though

It's a balancing issue. It also doesn't make sense that rohan peasants are stronger than orcs, lore wise. Orcs, even the regular meat fodders, are still mutated elves by origin and are profesional killers with expert combat training, literally breeded for the purpose of battle. Only trained and well armed human soldiers should be able to compete against them. Untrained, barely armed and elderly peasants should die to orcs. But for the sake of balance, Rohan units must beat orcs, just like Saruman must lose to Gandalf. Isengard's units are too strong, they NEED to have weak heroes, otherwise there would be no counter to this faction.

@@mitromney Yeah heroes were busted, especially custom ones in bfme2, spear throw ability can one shot any hero while other aoe abilites can change the outcome of the battle

And Saruman somewhat makes up for it by being maybe second or third strongest ring hero (tied or possibly slightly weaker than dark Galadriel)

@@mitromney Not true, orcs are like beasts, they're not bred for combat exactly, they live for combat but are still much smaller than men, Rohirrim and even peasants are descended from Beornings, they were very tall and strong, they could easily beat orcs in combat, orcs are the size of dwarves but they're not as stout as dwarves, uruk hais are almost man-height but still not as big and strong, in the books orcs act like pirañas, or ants, they're not strong in single combat safe for a few orc chieftains, and they're very cowardly, they're only strong with good leadership and strength in numbers, again, much like ants.

@@danielcaiado6924 Well, size is not everything. Chimpanzees are significantly smaller than humans and yet they are a lot stronger.

In BFME 1 there's a power that does it. Same for Aragorn, there's an in game power that gives him Anduril.

@Welther47 In BFME2 Gandalf auto goes to Gandalf the White when you get the horse ability

In BFME 1, you have to spend your evenstar-points you get throughout the campaign to buy "the white" upgrade. So you can buy it whenever you want, but it gives him a huge power boost + recharge time of spells is cut in half + unlocks his ability to ride a horse (Shadowfax). Pretty worth it.

Yes,when he hits lvl 5.

Technically sauroman is stronger than Gandalf

Сослан? :) Это имя такое? :)

@@JuntaWithLustrationsOnTanks Да, а что такое?

Saruman actually has great harass. His thunderbolt sports decievingly short cooldown and does about third of heroes health. If his player used it as a go-to instead of fireball (which is a utility tool of Saruman, funnily enough), and used fireball to interrupt - he would win way more. You are correct about Gandalfs WOP though.

Only in BFME 2, BFME 1 Saruman doens't have thunderbolt. His blast is also bugged, weaker and has a smaller effective range.

Haha that’s what I saw 😂😂

That line is iconic, he says that in movie, when he's shooting that fireball.

You play online?

@@MarkoVeselic nop , i have a pirate version ,

@@MarkoVeselic i play LAN with friends some time ago

@@gonzofonzo5814 what you can't play on pirate version?

Edain Mod

@@calger5924 Oh, I was gonna say "hey.. Saruman shouldnt have a fifth power..!?"

He was stronger than Gandalf the Grey, but when Gandalf comes back as Gandalf the White, the Valar let him come back with more of his power. Basically all the Wizards came to Middle Earth with a handicap and when Gandalf pulled a Jesus, he came back with less of a handicap

Also Gandalf in his true form would easily defeat Sauron, but Valars didn't want to destroy the Middle Earth

@@user-qk5bc3fj6g not sure if that’s true, if I remember correctly Gandalf when he was still going by the name of Olorin was apprehensive and uneasy about coming to Middle Earth because he was afraid of Sauron.

@@user-qk5bc3fj6g isnt sauron the strongest of the maiar?

@@darklordmorgoth2543 Nah, he's not. The strongest one is Eonwe, The Herald of The Valar

@Umbrella Corporation how they are equal if white gandalf kicked in lotr 3 saruman.

@Die MannSchaft um they are not same person
