Build markets or roads in Dale, Grasgard and Esgaroth to begin with. Economy is the first factor you need to take into account when playing Dale. A fantastic general capable of defeating the mightiest of enemies. You start with only 4 regions, but no worries. If you wish me to play on to show you more guidance then just ask for it and I will try to find some time for it. I have played the Dale campaign three times and two times captured half of the Middle Earth so I want to give you my knowledge about Dale and its first turns. My favourite faction in Third Age Total War is Dale and I have heard several people are having difficulties playing it and that is why I have decided to create a Dale Guide for those of you who have given up on the faction or just have yet to experience its campaign.
