Hoo boy: Here we go, Ill try to cover all your questions.
When we get creative, we go BIG. (at least big enough so my computer doesn't die) My "hoard" was about 50-ish troops.
We did it on a plain in Rohan, as trees are really annoying during battle.
Yes, both of us DID participate in the battle, (my role mostly consisted of sniping my brother and his troops with an overpowered orc bow and throwing axes)
Ehhh, no. I am not that stupid XD once youre around bombardier units you know they are NOT good in the midst of your army, sooo... no. (i cheated kinda) I added the bomb units to a sword of command, and hit in the direction of the thick of the ranger army. NONE OF THEM MADE IT. I was quite really angry XD they were all sniped to death by the invisible rangers.
See, the thing is, once I charged towards the rangers, half of them ran into the hole -_-
That basically was just a ton of orcs and wargs in a pit getting turned into rotten flesh mush by ranger arrows from above. I lost a significant portion of my army like that.
Actually, one of the best things was the fact that I died first. We had keep inventory on, and my "hoard" got back to me. In the beggining I had 6 trolls I believe, and now only 3 remained :( r.i.p William, Ted, and William II :(. I think they were brothers.
Anyways, after I died i sprinted into the thick of rangers, and my troops tp-ed to me. That was my most glorious moment, as the rangers stopped being invisible aaaaand.... hello other 3 trolls!! :DDDDD
That was also a sad moment, because right there my brother was killed by a trolls AoE, and the rangers all dissappeared to him. BUT, I crippled down his army to like... almost half size? +1 for me.
We met back up, sprinted straight at each other. WE COULDN'T GET CLOSE. The arrows was like a fricking wall! But, to be fair, a lot of my guys died too :( all trolls dead, bombers = 0, the rhudaur guys died INSTANTLY, aaannd... yeah. I was down to like, 15+ orcs and a couple wargs and we were all porcupines by the end of this.
Two things which might have affected this battle unfairly: 1, neither of us was supposed to use horns of command, (so i kinda cheated with the sword thing) and 2 some of his rangers had arnorian armor, giving them quite a significant+ protection, nbut not all.
SO here you go! Any other questions?
