I've beaten a decent mordor spam ok with Gondor before. The key is in archers if all they do is spam trolls and orcs. Your own heroes can take down nazgul pretty well too.



But really, you can beat any faction with anyone, depending one what strategy you use.

mordor vs. rohan? Id like to see the mordor win....

I've beaten Yoda's Rohan before, but I think thats because nazguls were cheaper then.

Trample eventually slows down when you have about 1000 units that need to be killed...

[Dunedain Lord]

use theoden's charge power. Trample never stops. unless its diff. in rj

All that does it make them almust invulnerable. They still slow down.

i belive in bfme 1, they couldnt slow down.
I think they should still be able to charge at full speed all the way. Or else, how would they have broken the endless lines of mordor?

As MotE, if you can get Ithryn Luin to Lv. 10 against a human player, you can get some pretty nice panic going.

Player 1: Eat this!
Player 2: ZOMG it's an army of Haradrim! And Rhun Soldiers! And Variags! And creeps! And... and...
*dragon roars*
Player 1: Yep, one of those too. And some bones for extra effect, and some troops that you think are yours but really aren't...

I love MotE... I just keep exploring the faction and finding new things. I never knew that Rhun had a catapult... or that Illusionists could turn into different battalion types. There's so much to find there...

Ithryn Luin

Harad's Blue Wizard you mean, don't you? (Yoda speak FTW! [And a bad try at that. ] )
...And the Union and the other thing, which name totally escapes me.
And the fact than the summoned people are pretty freaking weak. They die in, like what? One hit? The skeletons and dragons and illusions, on the other hand, can do some damage.

Unfortunately, the illusions are sometimes a little obvious... But if you get an enemy to start expecting illusions so often that he no longer checks them, and then they turn out to be actual soldiers that you've prepared, then he's in a pickle.
I think illusions should do minimal (really minimal, mind) damage. At least that way, the enemy thinks you're actually attacking, and it is harder to figure out which ones are illusions in a crowd.
And Illusionists... Well if there's a Goblin player against a MotE player, how likely is it that the Goblins will be attacked by Gondor Soldiers? The Illusions don't have enough use. I think they kind of see through it. Perhaps the Illusionists start off with small illusions and get access to stronger ones as they get better. Meaning that they fight with the same attributes (cavalry speed, damage from spears, extra damage against resource buildings) as the units they are imitating. Useful in that you attack a horde of orcs and they suddenly morph into Haradrim Lancers, turn round and crush your soldiers. Only the base health and damage should be the same.

I've beaten almost every Brutal army with every other faction (although I haven't tried Rohan vs Mordor, Rohan vs MotE or MotE vs Rohan yet), but I've never tried RJ online so it's probably a lot more difficult. How do you get this Hamachi thing?

You should just be able to google "Download Hamachi" or something. If they make you pay for it, it's a hoax. I went to the Wikipedia page and there's an external link to the main Hamachi site where you can download it.

It's pretty self explanatory and I think there's a tutorial on the site. I could figure it out, so it can't be too difficult
