Depends on the army, doesn't it? The strongest pikemen are either Phalanxes or Half-Troll Marauders (I'm going to ask Ruuddevil on his next VS video to pit them against each other) so they'd likely be good against them. If I could have any army of units, I'd line up the front with fully upgraded Half-Trolls all getting buffed by the Goblin King as he summoned 3 Drakes to burn the Rohirrim and Theoden into the ground. In the back, I'd have the best archers available, which are of course the Mirkwoods, who have so much range and damage that they can kill cavalry before they get trampled. I don't know who would win, to be honest. If I got Gorkil to poison Theoden and immediately take him out, it would at least get rid of his Leadership and make things easier.

It feels like they're a family, that you nurture to level 5 (so they regen health), you can get them to build a larger family due to Dominate Troll etc.
The Xbox 360 version doesn't have health refen and some other features that you guys get.

Then I immediately got the weaker trolls and armed them with trees. They almost destroyed an enemy base, but were killed by pikes. Then I got 6 attack trolls. With War Chant and some orc fodder, then destroyed that same base and returned, all alive and all level 5.
They proceeded to destory all the enemy bases, not losing a single troll. It felt so great!
This is why Mordor is my favourite army. I love progressing from a few hordes of Orcs to battalions of Haradrim and Attack Trolls, and finally Mumakil and Catapults with your maxed out heroes charging into the enemy base as I summon the Balrog and possibly the Wyrm. Seeing what your army has become is so satisfying, and I love how diverse all of the units are. Orcs, Easerlings, Corsairs, Trolls, Mumakil, Fellbeasts, Ringwraiths, and the beasts that their powers summon are all part of Mordor and no matter what, if you have a large army of any of these things, it always looks cool.
The Kingmaker wrote:BBB, have you seen RuudDevil's chamber of Secrets mode? Its a fanmade dungeon crawler map. You have to choose 6 heroes and get to the end. He sort of cheated, by using Roghash the OP troll (the one that catapulted Gimli when they both used their leaps) and using his Dominate Troll on any of the attack trolls the AI sends his way.
The AI armies respawn until you clear certain areas, so he waited, got all his heroes to level 7+ and built up an army of about 10 attack trolls. That combined with hero summon powers and (because he was playing as Gondor) loads of free levied summons meant his heroes could run around and kill everything, while the fodder distracted and the trolls killed everything. Its about an hour total, but it's worth it. (Its split in two vids)
I did see it, and Rogash vs Gimli (Battle of the OP Heroes) along with every VS video. Did you know that I suggested Mumakil vs Battlewagons? I'm looking forward to seeing Phalanxes vs Half Trolls, Rohirrim vs Spider Riders, and Attack Trolls vs The Balrog.
