Best charging unit?

[Mendyed]

Hey, What do you guys think is the best recruitable unit for charging?

Trolls?
Warg riders?


Thanks,
Mendy

Olog hai are pretty tough. Spiders too

[DrDragun]

This answer will change depending on the target. A troll charge will kill 6 men but only 6 men if its 30 damage or 300 damage. So a troll is the best for killing a General or other elite high-hitpoint unit.

But if you want to kill masses of units like archers or basic infantry, then Swan Knights or Annuminas Knights.

And the fun answer is Mumakil since your only requirement is 'recruitable'.

Spiders are the best charge unit in my opinion. They're faster than trolls and most cavalry, add fear, and fling people into the air. Middle Earth tanks, that's what they are

[ppetrus]

Spiders are quite decent chargers. Although after what DrDragun said, the thread is answered, IMO.

Trolls vs Mumakil vs Swan knights

In a battle which would most likely be more useful? Not including their upkeep, or cost.


Thanks,

Well, it's hard to compare a 1200 gold unit to a 4200 gold unit. More like 3 units of Swan Knights vs 1 unit of Mumakil.

Although I bet 1 unit of Swan Knights would beat 1 unit of Olog Hai in pure charge mode.

the Mumakil 36 attack 2 is what? meele?

[DrDragun]

Yeah, the first attack line is 10 damage/200 range for its archers. The 2nd attack is the oliphant itself.

Army of the dead?

[Ngugi]

Considering two specific units are brought up I guess he want to know about them

Warg riders: charge bonus 10
Mountain troll: charge bonus 10
Cave troll: charge bonus 12
Snow troll: charge bonus 13

[Ngugi]

Why don't you play some custom battles and test it out...?

[Mendyed]

So I think Mumakil is an easy win. I'll try it out tomorrow when I have time.
