I wish copyright wasn't so stinky, this video would have been *elevated* with the Lord of the Rings soundtrack blaring in the background. OH WELL.

Angmar was the real MVP here ; being at war against the Shire , Erebor , Rivendell and Moria and managing to defeat them while at the same time sending enough reinforcements to Isengard for it to stay alive and thrive .

Theoden: Where was Gondor when the westfold fell Gorg: They were responsible That part killed me lmao

This really represented one of the primary themes of LOTR, that it takes selflessness and activism to stop evil from conquering the world. Even if you aren't under immediate threat, allowing evil to conquer your neighbors and grow in strength will do nothing but leave you vulnerable to their might in the end. In this video, the forces of good spent too much time smoking pipeweed and eating potato stew to fight back.

It's really cool seeing how the Allies work together wish worldbox officially added to the game in a future update

You should do this again but include heros and villans with like the demigod trait or powerful weapons and armour something(Legolas, Gimli, Gandalf, Balrog, Sauron, Saruman, etc.)

the ending is actually rather lore accurate, the only reason the good guys won in the end was the ring being destroyed and mordor collapsing in on itself

In actuality, Mirkwood "Woodland Realm" was a lot smaller. The elves only controlled 1/5th of the Northern parts of Mirkwood, near the "Forest River," neighboring the Raft Elves, while the middle was full of skin-changers, and then the south was inhabited by the Necromancer, his undead, his orcs, and the spiders. There are less elves in Mirkwood than there are in Lorien and their realm is comparably sized to that of Rivendell. The most populous places inhabited by the elves are Lindon, beyond the North-Western mountain range, across from the Shire, near the sea, Lorien, and Grey haven, from most populous to least populous. Goblin Town and Mount Gundabad also had huge populations of orcs. Mount Gundabad was where from the majority of the orcs came from that took Moria and attacked Erebor. Not lacking any numbers.

Here are some future suggestions for future lotr videos! Trolls= Orcs, but with giant, stupid, fat and ugly traits Hobbits= Dwarves, but with Tini, Attractive and Agile traits Also would be great if some specific characters are added, such as Sam, Gimli and Gandolf for example, looking forward to it!

to make bridges over rivers, you can put single tiles diagonally from each other kinda like a chessboard if water was white and land was black this also makes it so boats can still pass on the water tiles

Me: "Lord of the Rings trivia?! What a NERD!" Also me: Knowing everything you were saying and in my head digging up more trivia.

YAAAS! Been waiting on a Lord of the Rings Map for a while!!! AWESOME

Evil has unlocked the *Power of Friendship*

5:12 killed me. "they were responsible" xD the cuts to the movie were all brilliant!

Absolutely amazing. Also tbh nerd reveal better than face reveal

For future reference gondor and minas tirith are not two seperate factions. Minas tirith is gondors home capitol.

This is so cool! can't believe it wasn't already done in the channel, you need to do it a second time, free for all next time! loved the memes and references!

I’d love to see this play out with some custom heroes or traits. Like a super powerful Sauron leading Mordor but when he dies all evil factions get a debuff. Or a condition that if the Shires Hero (maybe they get Sam and Frodo) somehow makes it across the map next to mount doom all of Mordor gets nuked!

As someone who is reading Lord Of The Rings this maps helps me understand the book so much better

My respect and enjoyment for your content just went up so much, i love the lord of the rings and the map looks epic

Video Idea: Orcs have run through a Death Gauntlet to beat up Dwarves

I like to think that Angmar works as the dark forces in this timeline of the lore. Their powers seep into the nearby peaceful lands, and the darkness of their hearts turns them to cause ruin within their own nations. Because we know through the Ring that the forces of evil seek to twist and corrupt the pure and noble.

I'm just being picky here ^^ You should've added Lindon, Iron Hills dwarves, the Harad and the Easterlings and maybe Goblintown imo. Why separate Gondor from Minas Tirith ? I like the idea of adding Moria even though not lore friendly. Same with Angmar. Btw if you wanted to mix the timeline and give Angmar an actual enemy Arnor would've been great

Great video! Really nice to see how the lore combines with WorldBox. Loved the memes!

This definitely needs to be done again. It's a great idea but you came up with many many other good additions and added them all in as the game progressed which probably effected the outcome a lot. The real Volcano, more living trees, towers, etc. Were all really good ideas. Heroes and Demi Gods need to be added next time around as well

I crave more of this. Love to see this tried a second time, or with different games/book/movies lore!

Amazing video! I wouldn't mind more Lotr themed videos!! Having the southern gondor city be harrad, umbar or dol amranth would've been cool!

I love this guys content its amazing. This is way underated

This is so amazing, I love this channel. My life has been dedicated to LOTR and Star Wars thus far

I love your videos and your editing

I LOVE watching a fellow lotr nerd, well, _nerd out_ with stuff like this.

Great video, I really enjoyed it. The map was awesome and I really enjoyed watching the kingdoms of middle earth battle it out different then in the books/movies. I was very happy to see that the fight for minas tirith was accurate. It’s not like I wanted for everything to be accurate but the location of the fighting was perfect.

My favorite part is the beginning where we are just agreeing on how awesome lotr is.

Thank you for staying up till the end!

Congratulations on 105k!!!

"The good guys remain pretty passive". That sums up the gist of the whole movie

This just reminded me how much I love Lord of The Rings... I'm gonna watch the trilogy again before the series comes out. Maybe watch The Hobbit movies again too... Middle-Earth is just always a good time!

You should do it again! This time with Aragorn and Gandalf at least, see if make difference. I'm sure everyone will like!! Maybe the War of Wrath in Beleriand as well!

Yay, I was waiting for another vid!!!

I absolutely love the LotR, so this was an amazing vid to see xD

You the goat for this

if this was your only video, I would STILL want to subscribe to you!!

Yay I love this alternative ending thanks for making this

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who remembers or even seen the series, RACE TO THE MOON, but I remembered it immediately when the music came in in at 10 minutes, idk but this gave me some awesome memory's.

As an Angmar player in Lotr, I gotta Say what Angmar has been doing Is pretty accurate. We too are basically Saving Isengard's cheeks because they are AI RN. We could take them out, but we would be seen as bad guys. Meanwhile Mordor Is self dependent

This was more entertaining than the rings of power. 10/10

Next : Westeros's map

10:54 I'd say it's a good thing that there are no elephants, otherwise they would just go kill the dorfs like they did at Boatmurdered.

Great video as always

All the sillyness and lotr memes in this were great. Very entertaining

Been waiting for someone to do this one

If you made the orc/goblin army it would be unstopable

Me wondering why the trees aren’t killing the elves me also realizing that animals and trees don’t kill the elves in the world box

Great video! If you do this again, you should add Rhun and Harad.

Ah, book of the wings. I love that scene where the lion shouted, and they lit up a fire inside the mountain.

I think the Shire's war against Angmar works better if you think of them as Arnor, as Angmar even controlled Rhudaur at the start, like in the books.

Dope, good job 👍

I just found this channel today never even heard of this game.

Could you do a Westeros one?

Would love to see a redo of this, and just place like every single known location. Dwarves in the Blue Mountains, Bree, Harad, add an Easterling camp on the very edge of the map, the Grey Havens. I do like how you split Minas Tirith from the rest of Gondor. It's just too big of an area, and Rohan isn't as densely populated, so it makes sense just to have one spot, but maybe Helms Deep could be added too. And maybe have Laketown or Dale for some early action with Erebor.

Bro this is amazing

Thankfully you didnt put the high elven realm of lindon great video man really enjoyed it oh yeah you forgot to put rhun and harad

Awesome play of an alternate Middle-earth history, I enjoyed watching it, though it was sad to see the good guys had lost. I would like to see a version of this with Numenor as the focus. Or involve the Eastgerlings and Southrons. That would be cool.

THANK YOU!

I should probably watch Lord of the Rings. Looks like a good movie

Fairly new to the channel and hesitant to pitch an idea (since I almost want to get the game to try it myself). But it'd be cool to recreate Azeroth from WoW. I don't play Warcraft anymore, but hypothetical AI battles would be awesome. - The Alliance could use humans + dwarves + a white mage + fairly "positive" traits (maybe elves as well for the night elves) in Alliance territories - The Horde could use orcs with aggressive traits + an evil mage + a small band of (blood) elves with the greedy and ambitious traits (in Horde territories) - The Scourge wouldn't be able to have their own faction, but you could smack a necromancer and a crapload of skeletons in Northrend - And if you want to go overboard (probably not since I know it's reserved for milestones), you could create subfactions like the Defias Brotherhood in Westfall, plague doctors & zombies for the Forsaken in Tirisfal, giant vrykul (humans/dwarves) in Northrend, sand spiders around Silithus/Tanaris, volcanos/demons in the Burning Steppes/Blasted Lands/Searing Gorge, and whatever else comes to mind. Definitely doing it on my own at some point regardless.

"One does not simply walk into Mordor." Erebor: "This sign can't stop me because I can't read."

Mirkwood and Erebor: Hold the Black Gate and Ûdun! Gondor: Everyone else is dead, please do something! Mirkwood and Erebor: We are! We're holding the Black Gate and Ûdun! Gondor: *F'in dies*

loved the video

So cool idea!

Do the mods you use work with the steam version? Also, loved this lol

Pretty cool video. You such give them iconic characters next time.

you should have done like the dwarfs of the lonely mountian from the hobbit as well as that lakeville place

Hey gorg have you read the books or only watched the movies? The movies aren’t bad but so many things were left out. Plus I found the balrog and the Nazgûl far more terrifying as you are free to imagine them

I love your videos

Mirkwood is a huge forest, but I think the late third age elven realms only cover a fraction of that territory and even that would have a lower population density than a feudal realm like Gondor.

This was fun!

no woord, no minerals, and no food. amazing video..

I loved this

AU where Thranduil takes over the world instead of chilling in the corner That one guy singehandedly defending Rivendell was Glorfindel

You need to redo it adding the main characters of each faction, like Frodo & Gandalf (Eriador-Shire), Thranduil & Legolas (Mirkwood), Aragorn & Elrond (Rivendel), King Dain & Gimli (Erebor), Galadriel & Celeborn (Lorien), Sauron & Witch-King (Mordor), Saruman & Lurtz (Isengard), ecc. Like the demi-gods you've done before. Spanning it on multiple videos it would make a great project. With a lot of main characters to follow each with singular traits... But I do not want to make it too hard, it's great to dream about it though. 😊

You should do this again but make all of the countries proportional to their inbook power

The Lords of the Rings is such an awesome movie.

When Mellon and gorg post ohhhhh so good

Love this concept! Would it work for other fandoms? E.g. Hunger Games 12 districts, Harry Potter's Houses etc.

This makes me want to play the Mount and Blade LotR mod again

”I wonder what would happen if the elves were more aggressive” Does no one remember the slaughter of the Teleri?

Fun video! I got the game! Did u make the map? or use it downloadable?

18:36 The elves doing their part. Now, just guarding the steps of Mount Doom until a certain shireling arrives.

Thx. I love Arda lore. 😊

5:59 "its would make a lot of sense if they got wiped out cuz it actually happens, spoilers" GOOD JOB YODA

Bro you are so BIG 100k subs in 6 months WOW

I mean, Mirkwood kinda has issues considering the giant evil power in the heart of the forest. Which I'm kinda surprised you didn't add Dol Guldur considering they very much kept the Elves in check.

Just a little fun fact that you made me think of when you spoke about the elephants is that Olifant is the afrikaans word for elephant so i grew up for years thinking they spoke afrikaans in the LOTR universe but it is splet differently in the books i just cant remember how i think they f is ph or something like that.

Very Nice

For the next one, I think you should put the for species one 4 big square islands in the for corners separated by a mountain barrier and after 500 years you remove the barrier and each race gets 5 traits, since elves and dwarves have 1 trait they’ll get 4 and orcs get 3 since they have 2. And everyone starts with coffee. Traits Humans: Mage Slayer, Dragon Slayer, King Slayer, Strong and Veteran Elves: Weightless, Fast, Sonic Speed, Agile and Wise Orcs: Regeneration, Savage, Giant, Strong Minded and Tough Dwarves: Miner, Genius, Super Intelligence, Shadow Summoner and Attractive Slogans ( optional but fun) Humans: STRONK Elves: Everybody super sonic racing there’s no time to move around Orcs: Big bois Dwarves: This is big brain time Mods Modern city: Optional but fun Trait Bonanza: You need it for sonic speed and shadow summoner Note: Dwarves get two modded traits since in my opinion they’re the weakest race since they populate super slow, have the shortest life span, are only good once they unlock Adamantine and hate Elves which are basically the Dwarves-B-Gone race. Also orcs don’t get a modded trait since they’re orcs and are overpowered.

Your giving trees to everyone but the Shire and probably the smaller Elven and states probably is part of why they weakened around 18:00

You missed Dol Guldur, that is what kept the mirkwood elves in check for so long.

i think i have to rewatch LOTR again

Harad, rhun, numenor (maybe an island nation) grey havens, arnor, blue mountain and grey mountain dwarves, etc
