LOTR: The Battle for Middle-Earth

To fix it they should remove Legoals and they should restrict how many ents they can get.
Nazguls should have more powers like a heavy flapping of the wings which blows enemies away
Witch King should be able to call on the remaining ring wraiths and be able to dismount the nazgul and use the mace while the nazgul circles over head picking on radom enemies. (if the nazgul dies the witch king lives on) Plus the witch king should have some sort of a magical power

RThe nazgull are to slow i say... speed them up and make them more resistent to fire arrows and Gandalfs lame light 😠 it should just scare them away anyway 😠 the only thing i like about the nazgul is that they cost nothing to reserect... and they should come back faster

Nice game, I like Rohan their offensive power, Gondor's pretty good on the defence

so far the game (on easy) is well very easy (certainly after you have all the calling for allies abilities) I almost broke down that big ram Mordor uses in the siege of Minas Tirith 😄 That was one of the better levels.

I'm wondering about the evil campaign

Evil is shorter 😄 i beat it on that first 😈 I love Saurumans army and the mordor Haradrim are actually the most powerful infantry in the game.

and with my cavalry ion minis tirith i destroyed all the workers before they could build anything 😂

yea those Haradrim pikemen are a ***** for Rohirrim Cavalry

I don't go anywhere in that game without fully upgrading my units.

I only play on medium, so what i'll usually do is send lower level characters off to their doom in small squandrons...then I'll team up stronger units.

Like Rangers with Tower Guards.....fully max them out and they ruin anything.

I hate tower gaurd 😖 they die VERY quickly because of thier speed and if you play against a hard mordor computer they spam catapults which murder EVERYTHING if you aren't babysitting

those towerguards suck ass (too expensive for what they are worth)

Towerguards fighting skills depends what they go againts. You know the Rohirrim Persona upgrade? well I sent them againts 5 towerguards with full upgrades and they got destroyed.

I know but the towerguards are only good against a few units (usualy the mounted ones) which are few if you aren't fighting Rohan

I always group my batallions together which makes them slower, but Tower guards have good defense against archers and are great against cavalry. Load Rangers with fire arrows and they make a really good grouped formation.

You're right about the tower guards being expensive, but on I've really only been playing on medium and I never really lose them once I create them. When I get an outpost I make 2 defensive structures and a fountain because the fountain makes it a good spot to leave batallions to heal...and fountains also decrease the cost of infantry.

Fully upgraded tower guards are really deadly because they have high defense and a lot of hit points for a ground infantry.

I had a question.

How does everyone set up their first castle? I'm sure everyone does something different for each of the groups, so if you care to go that far in depth then by all means do. Otherwise if you could just share your most commonly used army...that's cool.

Usually I play as Gondor. I'll start with 2 farms, then add a 3rd farm. During that I send scouts out to secure nearby farms ouside the castle. Then I build a 4th farm.

After that I build an achery range, then a barracks. Next I build a black smith followed by a market. After the market I buy the grand harvest upgrade, then I built a stone worker.

That's pretty much my starting base. The seige shop and stable either go in the next castle, camp, or out post. Usually I leave two defense towers up at each camp or outpost just to mow down anyone that walks by...

Of course, I only play on medium, so I'm quite sure that my methods have large flaws. I'm asking because I'm interested in learning the game better.

(I'm still doing the campaign Link -However I like Rohan better than Gondor)

what are Rohan's siege weaponry?

How do they get into a castle once the doors are closed?

(yes i'm drawing a complete blank)

Ents... thats it lol its hard to fight gondor with rohan if they just bunker up.... Gondor's murdered by mordor and isengaurd in the field though 😄 at least when i'm fighting.... the ONLY thing they have is stupid Gandalf which is totally overpowered!

With gondor i likethe swordsmen and knights 😄 Rohan, cavalry and with isengard..... everything but i always forget the wargs.... which own cavalry.

yea ents are about it, as said before gondor owns on the defence

mordor's infantry suck aside from their wicked awesome cave trolls.

They look sweet when they reach level 2. And when they reach level 2 and grab a tree...it turns into a spiked club!

Unfortuneately the tree hits for less damage, but apparently it knocks down more creatures per swing.

and I completely forgot about the ents because they aren't base built structures....they come from those farms. 😮

Trolls are nice but easily countered by archers (certainly mounted archers)

yah, that's why i always make like 15 of them and send them off in a hurd.

I hate how the computer can sometimes find spots where the archers are able to hit your archers without wanting to attack back because they are some how out of range.

yea that stuff is a big flaw

I recently got back into this game... I almost beat the Good Campaign a while ago, but our computer got really messed up and the game was uninstalled... So now I am playing on the Evil side and I realize why I liked the game so much in the first place...
