Well title kind of says it all, Are trolls Mercenaries? Or can you recruit them? How strong are they?

Thanks,
Mendy

Trolls can be recruited in troll farms/barracks/whatever. I am not sure how the building is called. It starts with troll

Troll cages

I believe they can only be constructed after the barracks event though.

I see. When does the event happen? Which trolls are the strongest? Also, How much do they cost?

Thanks!

I think it happens at turn 37, at least in MOS. About strength and costs: Why don't you just play the game and see for yourself instead of asking here? If you don't want to wait for the event, try custom battles.

How do i activate the drums of the deep as the orcs of the misty mountains?

**StealthFox** · December 02, 2012, 08:38 AM

I think this is only in submods (barons?). Anyways, as long as you have the drums built (can't remember if built from the start) and the feature is turned on at the beginning of the game, they will activate automatically when that settlement is besieged.

That is how it works in MOS as far as i know..

**poetje10** · December 02, 2012, 09:35 AM

That's strange. I had them build and i know i had the script on. Yet, no help came.

How do you make Aragorn king of gondor? The event mentionned it was possible.

**Mhaedros** · December 03, 2012, 12:15 AM

You can't actually make him king, but you can get him as a general in an event around turn 100 iirc. If you adopt him into the family though and kill off all males in front of him as successor then you can get him as steward of Gondor

**Seimour** · December 03, 2012, 01:15 AM

Oh so accepting him was the dumbest thing I ever did since it completely

ed over Denethor's traits and I only gained an average general that I have no need for. Wonderful.

**Mhaedros** · December 03, 2012, 01:21 AM

Well yeah, but it's still fun to play with Aragorn, right?

Especially if you roleplay

**Coldfire88** · December 03, 2012, 06:37 AM

Any one know if the hero script which spawns 3 stacks when a faction is about to die spawns them more than once? I dont mind losing everything then taking it again but I wanna be ready when Im about to destroy them and they spawn... again.

**LuckyPistol** · December 03, 2012, 09:22 PM

Okay, so last time I tried OotMM I eliminated the Silvan elves early on, but got crushed by Dale and Dwarves combined attack. I retrying the good ol' savages again, and the Silvan Elves only have Thranduil's Halls, the middle settlement and the one next to Dale on the other side of Mirkwood. They've broken ceasefires 3 times now, and I've killed both Thranduil and Legolas, so they only have three generals left. I want to keep them in control of Thranduil's Halls and the far settlement to keep Dale from a direct route to my settlements when I fight the dwarves, any suggestions? Or do I just crush them and get them out of the way

**Macilrille** · December 04, 2012, 01:15 AM

There is the Return of The King mod, but I do not think it has been updated since 2.1.

**Gallador the bold** · December 04, 2012, 04:03 AM

Hello people, i have a question, how can I form the Kingdom of Arnor? I saw some indications Aragorn, but still could not join, I have most of the territories, I already put Annuminas capital, and the lineage of Aragorn is direct, so what's missing? Please help me!

With Isengard ,I have left the last region of Rohan at the hands of Mordor and they have destroyed them .
Do i still complete this achievement when completing the conquest of the 45 regions or do i have to be the one that eliminate Rohan last region ?
And do we get a victory trailer in the end ?
