45 elite Rohan troops, along with allies, facing a Legion and you lost nearly all your guys? 0.o Don't let the cool armor throw you off next time ><!Btw, Gothmog has a shield
I thought those Black Numenorian guys were cool at first, but a single throwing spear took em out I do hope RCM works a bit better in their favor, it's a waste of good armor ><!
I've got another one, but no screenshots to acompany it this time.Since I usually tackle parties about 2-3 times my size without taking too many casualties, I wanted to aim for an army that's 4 times my army (which is generally 70-90 troops)So...I stumble upon a Patrol, 2 Scouts, bandits, a Lesser Host of Mordor, and a Legion of Gargoroth or whatever attacking one of those Urban Levy guys... So, I was like "sweet, lets kick some ass"The battle started out well, the usual cavalry troops brushing up against my troops like water on rock. Natually, I took this advantage to get to one side of the trapped horsemen and began slashing at their sides, every stroke killing a horse or maiming a rider. Right before I decide to call a charge, I noticed that I was taking a lot of casualties, discovering that the Olog Hai had somehow snuck into my ranks and was decimating my troops with the help of their fell uruks and such. Seeing this, I literally jumped into the fray, over-head chopped as I dropped, instantly taking out one of the fell creations of Morgoth. No matter what I did, the orks were still carving through my ranks, so I had no choice but to retreat, drawing most of their forces towards me. Reinforcements arrived, but the reprive was only temporary, since the orks cut through them as well since most of my higher tier troops were already engaged or dead. I kept running backwards, blocking with my sheild and taking the occasional opportunity to slash at the new orc faces. Eventually, my shield broke, and I was probably halfway across the map. There I continued, parrying blows and and slashing at chests with my Bastard sword until I realised that I hit a wall. There I made my stand until enemy reinforcements arrived.....apparently, I was near the spawn point. (not too close though, just close enough for them to reach me in short time) So there I fell, leaving a trail of bodies in the field, and wondering why I never heard orcish victory cries before. Luckily, I was helping an ally, so I was able to leave the battle while the orcs stayed to fight an army of 0.
