    Default How to kill Mumakil??

    The title says it all, really. I even tried in a custom battle with 20 units of Eldar Archers using fire arrows against one unit of Mumakil and they still reached my lines and wasted a couple hundred of my troops. I tried it again a few more times, and I only managed to stop them about 1/4 of the time, usually by a lucky hit. So, how to stop them? As any faction, but Rohan especially would be nice (current campaign :3 )

    Javelins ideally, spears if you must.

    Anything ranged with AP really. AP really makes the difference when it comes to highly armored and high defence skill units. Javelins like snaga skirms and pelar marines work. Throwing axes are also good I think.

    Haven't tried stakes but I think they also work.

    Have you tried ballistas? They are exceptionally accurate, especially against something that big.

    Mumakil have 27 defence, AP reduces that to 13.5, so it's a very marked difference. And with so few targets and targets so big, a volley ought to kill a few if they are in range. I'm not sure about this either, but even if they are in melee, they are tall enough that your javelins probable don't have to aim so low that they will hit friendlies. However, if they are killed while there are soldiers next to them, I think the falling carcass will kill a few of your troops.

    AP only reduces armour, not defence skill.

    Stakes don't work.

    But yes, ballistas and ranged AP are the way to go.

    I could well be wrong, but I believe that javelins get a special bonus concerning elephants (and, as it so happens, oliphaunts, unlike trolls, do qualify as elephants in TATW.)

    By doing a search.

    People should be banned for asking this.

    Or about trolls.

    Or when the next version is coming out.

    After doing a quick search I found this, this, this, this, this, this and this.

    Everywhere is said the same thing as above, Pelargir marines or siege weapons.

    Next time either use the search function or ask it in the Official 'Third Age 1.0 - 3.2 Question & Answer' Thread
