    Default The Might of Isengard

    So I was testing the most powerful units of the evil factions against each other. And I found that Isengard with their mightier Uruk-hai units trump Mordor. I did one on one duels with the Berserker against Mountain Trolls, the armored Trolls, and the Nazgul. The Berserker had no trouble taking down mountain trolls, and I was unsure of the battles between the Armored troll and the Nazgul at first but because of the superior numbers and that extra three hitpoints the Berserkers were able to overcome them both. This is good as I was planning a showdown AAR between the two towers eventually and was wondering if I'd stand a chance against Mordors more elite units.

    Now I also tried them against the Balrog and Oliphants which was a huge mistake they steamrolled them so easily.

    Infantry is definitely on of the strengths of Isengard and Berserkers are certainly nice shock-troops to play with.

    I have a tough time taking on isengard with anyone but the elves when the beserkers become available, isengard just seems to spam them at me. Luckily the 3 hitpoints count for nowt against concentrated archer fire.

    Except you will face an even scarrier version of the Nazgul on the battlefield.. As Generals in units of Black Numenoreans.

    Anything can be killed by repeated charges. However; i have to admit that the a.i doesn`t use charges as good as the player can.

    I agree with this.

    Playing was Rohan I kept swarming the berserkers with my general and rider units, running away and repeating. They went down easily enough.
