Battle for Middle Earth 2 - 1.07

Im all for the HT approach as well. Being able to counter his slings and kill his trolls easily is much better then trampleing a few measly GW. Besides HT are a overall decent unit imo and beat out a bat of GW's regardless

Spiderriders are probably the better choice in 2v2, but in 1v1 i always prefer early Hts for creeping and getting the inns.
A timing attack with wildmen summon, a few cts, hts and gws can also win you the game sometimes.
