Sat, 24 Oct 2009 16:50:39 +0000 548788 http://www.gamereplays.org/community/index.php?showtopic=548556 my ally is at the Grey Havens, I'm at Rivendel
The Dwarves are at Dol Goldur, my enemy men are at Rhun and Minas Tirith
what I did was send Shelob down to Dunland, where she protected my south. I send Drogoth and Gorkil to the High Pass. Gorkil took out Rhun and Drogoth Dol Goldur within two or so turns, by avoiding the enemies hero armies and repressing Theoden.
I then sent Drogoth down to Minas Tirith, and Gorkil went through Mordor, with floods of troops coming into Shelobs armies and Drogoths, and some to Gorkil. Drogoth managed to defeat Minas Tirith, but Gorkil was coming too, and Shelob would finally come with a fully loaded upgraded army.
It took 6 turns to win.
Good strategy?]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:50:51 +0000 548556 http://www.gamereplays.org/community/index.php?showtopic=548540 Haradrim Archer TotW here. It was written by NadeDawg and edited by Angelsfan.]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:57:43 +0000 548540 http://www.gamereplays.org/community/index.php?showtopic=547609 There have been before also talk about this, but I (think) get this strategy little bit deeper. So the idea is simple. Do nothing at start just wait that you get 1100 money and buy nazgul. And yes it is really risky strategy but if using right time it, it will work pretty well.

When use it and some other points?

1. It is really good and important that here is one or more outposts in the map. Capturing those first with your nazgul you get resources enough to get you economy back and starting build
2. Do not use this, if your opponent playseith dwarves or isengard. Guardians survive really long against nazgul and after that they have their phalaxes waiting in mines. Isen’s pikes are fast which make their dangerouse and also I see that this tactic isn’t optional against Isen any way
3. Best factions to use this tactic are goblins and MotW, also can be used against elves and mirrors. Of course that means enemy doesn’t start with making more than 1 or 2 battalion pikes. And here is good to remember that usually goblins start with spamming GWs (but with nazgul should watch cave trolls), MotW use SoG spam and elves makes archers. Mirrors strategy can also use but Mordor has pretty much different kind of counters agains nazgul.

How game is going when start like this?

You get nazgul pretty much same time when enemy his first troops (this is not optional time just my own opinion). Getting outpost (or creeping) at first whit you nazgul, you get resources much faster. Then you BO is SH-SH-PB (depend on what kind of troops you need). And now yor first objective is stop enemy first troops with your nazgul and when enemy see you nazgul, you can be sure that enemy will make his/her next unit pikes. But when they are on the battlefield, situation should not be problem anymore.
1. You have hopefully rank 2 nazgul and with debuff and your fighting come much more easier
2. You have at least 2 SH and one PB and one or more troops on the field or coming already

And now you continue your battle like you watching to best to do...


Good
+ Surprise, enemy usually wont expect this kind of strategy
+ Nazgul is good for defense, offence and harasment
+ Easy way to kill archers, soldiers and cavalry

Bad
- Outpost need on the map or close creep place
- If enemy start with many pikes or etc...
- Need good micro
- Really risky strategy, losing nazgul on start is allmost same as gg



So my idea maybe sounds crazy or foolish or something like that but I like to hear your opinions

Im wondering if people even get to/bother with this option in general]]> Sun, 18 Oct 2009 22:37:48 +0000 547124 http://www.gamereplays.org/community/index.php?showtopic=546013
I already had my thoughts on this and decided to make some kind of a Devil's Advocate copy like it is already found in the Isengard and Goblin section iirc.
The idea behind Devil's Advocate is a vivid discussion about Mordor strategies, units, heroes and whatever comes in your mind.
I think, I'll post something controversal within the next days and you can (and shall) discuss.

Last but not least you can also make suggestions for new guides, tips and discussion topics here.

PS: I'll take a look through the forum now and that might result that I move some of the points above to somewhere else, but let's see.

I have utilized it in the past where either i wanted to have the mines fully loaded-->battle on the map in-progress-->guards at my base trying to get into the HoW, and still producing more. I guess that is what you would call a spam, but funny it seems i have done this during mid game.

ok, here are the questions, What MU's, What BO, and particular maps if any. i have tried to build my 2nd HoW imediately after i have put up my forge. i found that to be ineffective, due mainly to the lack of resouces, and once i go that path i cant seem to stop it (if that makes sense).]]> Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:49:16 +0000 545291 http://www.gamereplays.org/community/index.php?showtopic=544605 here.

i have seen it done a few times, so i have played around with when, and where to try it. i have only found it useful vs elves, and only on maps that have a resource building to capture. I am not completely down with what BO to use. i have messed around with the BO and i found that 2mines>forge>mine>upgrade forge>mine>bw>mine>bw>rax

should rax come soonner. i am guessing this is such a huge risk, due mainly to a simple foot unit rush. so i have tried to gage it to maps i think creeping with occur at the start, idk cuz i think on FoI this maybe very unpredictable outcomes.
