It is really disappointing that they don't have walls, their wall is so beautiful

[tommychappell]

also if you use war chant in on archers, and even dread visage from a nazgul your archers will prove to be very effective in defence.

[tommychappell]

hey man you should use eye of sauron more... i saw that it wasnt focused on the troops that much. you should apply it to the troops with war chant for like 75% extra dmg, also as there is no dmg cap, and armour is capped to 75%. also using tainted land with drummer trolls wont work.. as buffs dont stack with leaderships. the drummer troll ld will simply replaced the buff tainted land so the tainted land will have no effect. thats a common rule with leadership, basically between buff and ld the ld will always cancel it out and remain on top, so only ld will apply. if i were you i would use darkness, drummer troll and eye of sauron. however there's no point in using tainted land as it wont apply anyway due to the drummer trolls leadership. buffs and ld's dont stack. yes the eye of sauron is another leadership, however because its unique it will stack with another leadership or buff, but not both. the leadership replacing the buff will be stacked with eye of sauron. (standard leadership v1 and standard leadership v2)

Pro tip: if you start with 4k start with falbeast and use the same strat

You can also build 3 or 4 orc pits and mass spam orcs all the way into the early late game. I'd say once the A.I gets trebs, cats, and ballistas you def need to switch around. But once you get used to the mass spam of it all you can even take on hard A.I with a progressive system of just spamming orcs and income

Stacking Guide:

Here is the Basics Scenarios/Possibilities you can have:
Sp, LD LD
Sp, LD
Sp, Bu

Mordor Stacking: Organised by Level of Importance
1 Darkness (spell) - Eye of Sauron (Unique Leadership - Drummer Troll (LD or any LD)
2. Darkness (spell) - Eye of Sauron (Unique Leadership) - Tainted Land (Buff)
3. Darkness (spell) - Eye of Sauron (Unique Leadership) - War Chant (Buff)

In the circumstance that you had all Four Buffs (Improvements):
4. Darkness (Spell) - Eye of Sauron (Unique Leadership) - Drummer Troll (LD) - Tainted Land (Buff) =
5. Darkness (Spell) - Eye of Sauron (Unique Leadership) - Drummer Troll (LD)

Note: Basically what would happen is that the Drummer troll LD would actually cancel out the buff and takes its place.
Therefore you would end up with this: Bullet Point Number 5. Also Don't Worry about eye of sauron here, the same would apply to any faction.... Again here you would have 2 counterparts for the stacking (unless its some complicated stacking). so number 6 you have all 3 Buffs, Spell, Leadership and Buff in which case the Leadership replaces the Buff so it get rendered nonexistent (cancels it out). number 6 would be just the same as number 7, Spell & Leadership.

6. Spell - Leadership (replacing Buff, if all 3 was present at the same time))
7. Spell - Leadership
8 Spell - Buff

This is maybe a very stupid question but how do you drag and position your units on map like you did at 1:37 ??

[BawsGamez]

can u make one on goblins? I know they can be really good but still suck with them. nice video btw!

[nathanhassani]

Orc archers stronger than gondor archers??!! How? I thought orc warriors and archers were as bad as goblin warriors and archers.

[bardns]

yes custom hero of mordor ; megaeco money for infini unit ( troll / catapult/rhunpikes )...and convert ennemy !!! use ennemy unit make your army 1500 /500

[contoriumwhite]

Could you record full game against Brutal AI

[williamescabi]

I would have won easily... First with mordor you dont need their crappy archers nor the regular militia...the very first thing you do is get pickemans and the mouth of sauron then you need asap catapults and the flying nazgul and then get the witchking and the battle orcks and you would be unstoppable but the main thing protect youre catapults
