actually i take that back about cavalry. nazguls are insanely op... they can kill several heroes, trample pikes...the whole lot nazgul level 2 are basically invulnerable
the only way MotW win is that Theo's ld + Glorious Charge, Rohirrim with upgrades, and KoDa both RC'd are pretty darn op too
Gwarves, because they are the only army whose pikes can beat soldiers like LW and SoG and almost cost the same. Men for cavalry obvioussly and even more obviously elves for ranged units.
Picked Isengard for its Uruks as the strongest infantry. It's actually not an easy choice though. Phalanxes are stronger than Uruk Pikemen, but Guardians are weaker than Uruk-Hai for one thing. Also, MotW Tower Guards and Angmar Hill Trolls are both stronger than any other pikemen in the game. If Black Numenorians were more decent Angmar could have gotten my vote since Hill Trolls are the strongest pikemen in the game.
The best cavalry unit would be the Mordor Black Riders, if they count. That's why I picked Mordor. As for cavalry overall, it would definitely be Men of the West in my opinion .
Elves have Mirkwood Archers, and those are the strongest archers in the game so I went with them for the third option. Siege Weapons aren't as useful as archers in RotWk in a regular game, unless your opponent is camping heavily, so this is why I went with them rather than compromising with Men of Dale + Dwarven Catapults (since Men of Dale are also very strong and Dwarves also have the best siege weapons in RotWk).
for mass cav spam, motw, for small party of cav, mordor, mirks just pwn, especially when u have leadership with them, and as for infantry i say isen because uruk pikes r great, uruk hai r great, and wildmen are good too.
Even if you count black riders, I'll still say men. Mordor have just one good cav horde, men can get as many as they want. Men cav have heroes like Theo for GC and Eomer for cash. KoDA>>> Black riders for harassment.
