    Default I´ve finish the game with Dale and...

    I´ve finish the game with Dale (VH/VH) and cannot see why people still complaining about trolls and many other things. I lost only 5 or 6 battles in the entire campaign and as you can see i have no big deal defeating trolls with common soldiers, no elite...



    anyway, maybe most of the people complaining just lack patience or skill when playing...and btw sorry for my english


    Have a coffee dude...

    Wow, half a million gold in the bank, nice.

    When I first started fighting trolls I found them difficult, but after a while they started to get pretty easy. I found the best tactic to be to soften them up with arrows then simply use one or two melee units to take them down (AP units perferably but regular ones work fine but with higher casulties). They have a high armor, but with arrows their Defence skill is negated thus they are hit more often and by the time they reach your army their HP should be at half or less. Heck using the SE, there have been times where I've wiped out all but two of the trolls before they hit the front line.

    Personally I find Troll Catapults to be more irratating than trolls themselves. I just fought a battle against two troll catapults and half a unit of Uruks vrs half a stack of elite SE. I killed the Uruks before they could even reach my front line, but unfortiantly the catapults were at the top of the mountain and I had to charge up to get them. By the time I reached them I had lost 27% of my army do to a couple of lucky shots. As quickly as I could I sent my melee units around to hit them from the rear while my archers fired at the front to distract them and soften them up a little. Managed to kill 2 trolls but got hit by a couple shots again. Finally charged all my units in and killed the trolls, but by the end of the battle I had lost almost 50% of my army in what should have been an easy win.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I'm just saying for me Troll catapults are more of a bother than trolls themselves .
    What if your entire purpose in life was to be "dead teen #2".

    I had more money but spent it buying lands to my allies, cause all the evil factions were already beated when i only have 33 provinces so I start to buy the remainings. Maybe the campaign should end when you beat all the evil factions

    i totally agree with you man, im on my 140 turn as dale and im invading harad now, mordor only has barad dur and rhun only has upperkand, both of which are being beseiged i even sent a full stack of elite units to rohan, i took isengard and gave it to rohan, i also saved gondor from total defeat. trolls arn't hard to fight if you know how to do it

    well trols have nbeen weakened and made to appear way less in recent builds.. in the beginning they were a nightmare. so those that are complaining prolly just dont play the recent build i guess :-/

    Im pretty sure they weren't nerfed down in the latest 1.4 patch if that is what you mean by ''builds''.

    Yes, I agree with you, Carajudo, for example I just lack patience... I really like things quickly done when I get down to them and that's why I find campaign slow and frustrating. Specially after playing RTW and M2TW so much, now I lack of interest on the game mechanics and probably start the campaign simply because I love the screenshots of other users.
    BTW There is nothing wrong with your English

    Ah build of a software program designates the latest complete version that has been exported. AFAIK it does not apply to mods.

    I guess he means that trolls are only available in Mountain Regions.
