I was about to go to sleep but then wanted one more quickmatch game...Lo and Behold..my opponnent is WitchKing who is one of the top Mordor Pro's......it turned out the Game was an awesome one and hard fought on both sides...BUT...the battle turned when WitchKing and i found an evil bug in the game....Catapults doo NOOOOOO damage to each other!!!....All of a sudden he gets soo many catapults and owns my horses.... and almsot gimli with slayer too...i sent one horse to go in middle of like 20-25 (NO LIE!!!) catapults ..i wasnt going to attck just wanted catapults to shoot AT my horses and Kill each other....Nope not even a scrath..all green.....Before this WitchKing said that Rohan "Owns" mordor now with Patch while we playing and i started to comeback.... but,Once Witchking saw catapults doing no damage and even many horses cant kill them becuase Horses must stop)...He switched his tatics and began using the "bug/exploit". I even told him that was a big mbug and problem of new patch but he still spammed catapults...still it was a great game...There were mistakes on both our parts..thats becuase the game was intense and alot of microing and much focused....

It depends on who you are asking on wether or not this is a bug, actually.

I thought this whole thing is relatively well-known..?

Ive never heard that...and im in felloship chat alot...perhaps people do know but alot of others dont... i was just observing last replay bymy friend..He just played a Gondor vs Mordor game..And the mordor guy made quick naz...while gondor went horses and harraassed ....after mordor bough 1 Naz he immediately went and spammed MANy catapults...Gondor's Horses 100 command pts attacked lots of catapults....and the ctatupults slaughtered the hroses...then grabbed outposts and made more and more catapults..and there was nothing he could do even with white gandalf...what could he have done?....if any troops attack catapults...they must stop and attack...That means LOTS of catapults will slaughter them..with out fear of hurting your own...is that a new "strategy" to make an army of catapults and who can damage Everything else but Each other catapults...makes no sense....

Yeah, its called the Lord of the Undead rush popularized by digsy. You could have easilly killed his catas with upgraded knights(especially with forged blades! ouch!) and use gandy to thwarth nazguls. hit and run(with weels) his catas and level up your cav(a high rank cav will totally own mass catas). But I think you already know that. I'll watch the replay tommorow!

I already posted a thread about this in the Mordor strat section for further discussion about this particular "bug". You can check that out for replies later.

Catapults do no damage to each other, I dont think that is a bug, it is indeed well-known.

Witchkings strategy will probably differ from digsies, but cataspam was already invented before digsy invented his strategy.

I didn't think it was a bug, but look at ballistae and trebs--they hit each other, why shouldn't catas?

Just starting discussion biggrin.gif
