Rise of the Witchking

It would be interesting to see people's views. The poll above has a nice list of several overpowered things for the good factions in RotWk, or things that people consider laming. Pick which ones apply most to you . I will restrict this to only good factions for now, so we don't have too much to discuss at once. Discuss your choices in this topic. Please tell me if I missed anything major.

well in my opinio there are more than 1 lame things like in elv faction the high number of mirks and the lindon horse abuse.well and you cna go crazy anyway when you have isengard and he is f.example. men of west or dwarve and builds barrel on castle and upgrades you can nearly do nothing.
well but you forgot another faction like mordor were you can imens lame with catta spam skulls for example .

why wasn't there an "all of the above" vote

+ 1

I meant to pick the ones that you think are the worst of them all. If I added an all of the above, we'd need one for every other possible combination, resulting in a very long list of choices, so I kept it simple. About including other factions, as I said in the first post, for now this will be restricted to Men, Elves and Dwarves; I will make another topic for the evil factions at a later time. If I include them all at once, it may be a bit too much to have a discussion about.

camping, camping and heroes

camping, oil barrels, lindons, arrow volley, mirks in large numbers, oil casks from fortress, hero spam, eomer start with lots of neutral structures

PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING THAT IS A BITCH TO COUNTER, SOME OF THIS SHIT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO COUNTER

+1 rofl

Wow, people have to deal with the fact that not everything in the game is equal, there are better units for less money and maybe some OP units and stuff but seriously, if everything was balanced it would just be so boring. Maybe some things are hard to counter but u just gotta deal with it. IMO Only Lindon Horse Archers abuse is "laming" outa these things.

there's a difference between OP and laming. I'd say glorfindel is OP but not necessarily laming.
A MotW camper is the most difficult camper to defeat!
And no choice for the last 1 - MoD from inns is just not cool

I hate fighting a MotW camper with isen

I think it's more interesting when it's balanced because you see about twice as many varieties of units on the field.

Forlong said play 2.02 ^^

+1 that

well, completely equal and balanced = starcraft, which is boring imo

Let's keep this discussion related to 2.01.

men of dale and koda are only things i consider truely lame, i dont even think mordor archer spam is that lame, because if you think about it, if your enemy is spending all this cash wheeling out mirks youve lost anyways because hes flippin rich, mordor archers are powerful, but cavalry can take them out with little problems in most situations, but men of dale for 150 is just ridiculous, and what koda can do to a fort 5 min into the game is op

Dols are so OP. Just watch the game between Brandon and Hellboy. so insane, not even fun.

Camping is lame. Just makes the game move so slow. I want a fast all over the map game, not a slow one way game.

Lamest thing in this game is wall spam and base spam

Kodas are pretty ok, never had the feeling they are op.
