No, Samwise the brave was a hobbit of substance and character who was there to prop up and support others... this was no Sam, but a Sauron seeking only to manipulate and sacrifice others for his own gain.

Oh Sam! 11

The yurts are the easy part - they've got to build the castle and then knock it down, you see.

That's because Green tried to destroy every house and farm rather than just focusing on the castles.

I think oranges? snipe attempt on teal like half way through made teal not even consider joining with the other players to stop Sam

Team victory should be banned in all games.

Yeah I mean Yellow and Teal were just… well really stupid in this game.

Did you take that from "The Return of the king" old cartoon from Rankin Bass? That point of his is rather strongly emphasized there with Mordor turning into green pastures. :) And it's always good to see a good underdog story.

@@Wanderer1258 Probably; I haven't seen it but I would assume it's taking cues from the passage in the books: "Already the Ring tempted him, gnawing at his will and reason. Wild fantasies arose in his mind; and he saw Samwise the Strong, Hero of the Age, striding with a flaming sword across the darkened land, and armies flocking to his call as he marched to the overthrow of Barad Dûr. And then all the clouds rolled away, and the white sun shone, and at his command the vale of Gorgoroth became a garden of flowers and trees and brought forth fruit. He had only to put on the Ring and claim it for his own, and all this could be." Maybe the bit I said about it being non violent was inaccurate but still :P

@@welshlout3400 Thank you for the reminder. :) In the cartoon they turned this image into a whole scene with orcs, magically transforming into harmless animals. 11 The cartoon from 1980 isn't perfect (especially due to the fact it tries somehow to narrate to the viewer the first two missing parts of the LOTR), but it has it's good moments.

I don't come to T90Official for LotR book references ,but I absolutely appreciate them.

I really like this map gen. It has potential.

That was a _wonderful_ game.

I too find imperfect mortals amusing

What is this? Something from his stream??

It's all romance and fun and games till T90 starts training Mangudai at thr stables and takes over his state.

She's a Marine Biologist, she would love the shorefish

​@@rbhatt2247 if i had a penny for every famous marine biologist in the age of empires 2 community...

@@rbhatt2247 So many people start off at the beginning of college wanting to be marine biologists, but very few people actually become marine biologists.

He still made an effort early on. Sorta salty, he didn't enable team victory, and that to me is just bad manners. The guy will be singled out and hunted in future games if he even decides to join again. I certainly wouldn't trust them after that.

Allied victory should be banned in all games. What's to stop a few players from all allying and easily winning the game? It ruins the suspense.

@@greywolf7577 Greed?

@@greywolf7577 In theory you could pull an 8-player Allied Victory, the problem with AV is that you don't know whether its on or not. AV is super fun, if it's late game and 2 people had to fight incredibly hard for it, one of them lost their base etc - and then together they come back. If it's just like here without any twists, then it's a bit boring, ye

Think he streams on Facebook now

@@lukerichardson8097 Yeah, he made the switch some time ago.

@@xotl2780 why?

​@@Ralphonthetrack because twitch was just bad lol fb gave him actual support on stuff and way better revnue

​@@Ralphonthetrack Because Zuck pays more than Jeff.

Which A? There are 5 of them in your writing of the word.

@@greywolf7577 All of them.

Allied victory should be banned in all games? Either lock the teams from the start and make it impossible for them to turn on one another or ban allied victory all together. No one should be able to just form alliances in game and get the advantage of sharing in the win. Alliances like that are supposed to be temporary.

Why do they allow allied victory on games like this at all? Just set it up so it is banned from the start.
