Hi Apollo, been watching you since 2015 when i discovered your channel as a sophomore in high school. Now I'm 24, a father, and still look forward to watching your videos. Although you don't know me, I feel like you've been here for a good chunk of my adolescence, as well as my entire adult life. I appreciate you and your content more than you know, and for what it's worth, thank you. Your third age videos have gotten me through tough times and given me comfort when nothing else could. Not sure if you'll see this, but if you do, that would be awesome! Thanks for everything man, I will forever watch your videos (Pls post more third age :D)

Black powder was around before Saruman made those bombs. Gandalf used it for to make his fireworks. Doubt anyone was making giant cannons at the time though haha. But then again there was a some wild devices in middle earth so its not impossible.

Tolkien never went into serious detail about much of Rhun and the Easterlings outside of their interactions with the west (mostly Gondor and Rohan, though they do also appear to besiege Dale and Erebor at the same time Mordor is sieging Minas Tirith) and service to Mordor. Which is why a lot of what you see in Third Age and its submods is speculative or loosely based on how they look in the movies. So there's a lot of creative license going on. I know Divide and Conquer gives them a crazy hwacha-like unit as well as some firebomb throwers. Is it canonical? Probably not. But it works in the framework of Medieval 2, which already has gunpowder units to adapt, and makes for some interesting gameplay variety.

Rhovanion was destroyed by the invasion of "wainriders" (I don't know the spellings) and the invaders were kind of like the people of Rhun and they destroyed Rhovanion and that's where the story of "Eorl the young" come in he's the first king of Rohan and they were the one's who escaped the invasion of Rhovanion he went to war with the wainriders along with Gondor

Generally the Rhovanion split into becoming Dalians and Eotheod of the Anduin and the Eotheod because the Eolingas or Rohirrim of Rohan. Though it's possible stay-behind-clans of Rhovanion men and Anduin men never migrated and stayed where they settled. Example Saxons migrated into Britain but half of them definitely stayed in Germany hence 3 regions called Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony. Which is funny because J.R.R based the Rohirrim and Dale on the Saxons.

in the books mordor and Isengard have gunpowder ( although they use it in a very limited capacity, mostly for mining i think ) so i dont think it would be much of stretch to say mordor gave some to rhun ( especially since they were mordors greatest human ally), as for the cannons yea i agree that would be stretch.

Lore Slam Dunk! This Rhovanion faction is based on the "Kingdom of Rhovanion", a realm between Mirkwood, Mordor, the Lonely Mountain, Long Lake/Esgaroth and Dorwinion, and was created from a collection of divided principalities during the early Third Age. These principalities used to fight with each other often, some even allying with Easterlings against Gondor, until one of the many princes named Vidugavia rose in power, becoming the first King, uniting the surrounding peoples, and gaining the favor of Gondor. While the kingdom has Rhovanion in the name, it only controlled and influenced the eastern parts of the greater region. The Northmen of the Rhovanion Kingdom are based on the Goths, an ancient Germanic tribe, and are the ancestors or early relatives of the Men of Lake-town, Dale, Vales of Anduin, Mirkwood and Rohan. These descended groups are based on other Germanic groups like the Norse, Franks, Frisians, Lombards and Anglo-Saxons. Wilderland is a combo of "Wilderness" and Land, so it should be spoken as "WILL-der-land". You can pronounce the "van" in Rhovanion like the white windowless vehicle that randomly pulls up to my driveway at noon.

This fictional battle reminds me so much of the historical Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC between the Persian hordes under King Xerxes and the Elite Spartans (and auxillary athenians/greeks) Under King Leonidas. The Rhunic side representing the Persians (much superior numbers but generally less skilled troops) uses their sheer numbers. For reference, Xerxes's best warriors were called "The Immortals". Here, the Rhunic side has the Khamil's chosen immortals troops. Another similarity is the Rhovanion hoplites. The Greeks used their skilled hoplites in said historical battle to great effect over 2,500 years ago. I can go on and no but basically, funnily enough, there are a lot of similarities between the fictional battle here and the historical Battle of Thermopylae. Great video as well. Always glad to see LOTR content being uploaded.
