Then send one batt off in one direction and the other in another.
But even losing one will be a loss for you, 300v200....... micro well my friends.....

Elves will be a little more proficient against early rushes in the next version because of changes made to the Flets.

oh and Legolas's summon power says four troops but unless i miscounted only three arrived.

Typo.

I think Uruks may actually be faster than Mirks though, so I dunno if it actually works :/

Same speed. Uruks are only faster when under Palantir Vision and near Ugluk.

little answer to the bug i found:

ohw, well the fact that they don't have the upgrades changes it, but it shouldn't happen right?
well it sure looked weird.
how did EA do it then??
perhaps you can look how they did it and adjust it.

but that's more something for the final version.

Mirkwood scouts:

they are perhaps one of the most weakest units in the game. they can get killed easily by unupgraded gondor archers. i always make 4 battalions of them and then the other units.
those four battalions defend my camp and all while i'm upgrading galadhrim and mithlond's.

it helps

[Hearach]

Why would you want stronger scouts?
The elves have plenty of other strong units.

[Elvenlord]

Dude, scouts are all about micro.....
Yes they die easily, but their dps is huge in ambush and with their extremly fast firing rate

Just about EVERYTHING I do is by taking what EA did and adjusting it. It just didn't work with the given model, bones, and animation coding.

Heeeeck no. Used properly, they are the best tier 1 unit out there. Best attack, best firing rate (only Rangers and Avari Archers come close to/have the same speed), stealth, and running speeds on par with Uruks makes them (as Elvenlord stated) excellent micromanagers. Give them Fire Arrows and they are vicious against structures (that fast firing rate really comes in handy).

One thing you guys may want to experiment with is the "Hold Fire" command, allowing for some more strategies (diverting enemies with a single batt of Scouts, while a second or third lies in wait "Holding Fire" to take the enemy while they're running around like a chicken with its head cut off).

That'll definately be something that I would want to try out when I get my PC fixed (in about 2 weeks! Yay!).

I know it can be disappointingly ineffective against human players, but the predictable movements of the AI make it quite possibile.

Very true, and since I'm mostly gonna be playing with AI, bonus!

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure if you use a thickly wooded area and because of the fact they are dressed in green, it might take a while for a human player to realize where you are attacking from which may give you enough time to finish them.

i usually use the minimap to see where they are coming from

The mini-map lag rears its ugly head

i definately don't have a supercomputer but the mini map works fine.

[Taralom]

by the way,

has anyone noticed that Gothmog when mounted has no left arm?
i got some screenies and i will post them with this post.

perhaps it can be solved for the next version.

well it looks a bit strange

[Elvenlord]

Oh well, it's just gothmog.....
YAY! GO mh!

[Olorin]

Gothmog and his arm is a low priority thing at the moment. And I like what you've done with the forum adummy. You've made room for TLT I guess?

[Taralom]

i'd like it more when the TLT actually has a forum
and if it is in the colors of this forum.
at least mine here is bit white/silverish.
can you adjust the colors btw?
