Here's a few suggestions:
- Add a Goblins/Orcs of Misty Moutains/Gundabad faction. Maybe because the vanilla game only has a limited set of factions, it limits modded factions. If this is the case, well, crap. But if you could, make a Goblins and Arnor/Eriador faction. Recruitable units would be hobbits, arnor warriors and soldiers from Bree like the Greenway guards.
Another thing is that I saw how it's difficult to get Uruk-Hai Pikemen to infantry because they are quite ineffective. They're useless in sieges, rough terrain and close combat. The only time they're useful is in flat terrain agaisn't a mounted foe (Rohan) with no archers at all. Otherwise, they suck. Try making an alternative path to Uruk-Hai Infantry. That'd be nice.
I also found how Dwarves have bows. Is this how it is in the books? I don't think they do. The ranged weapons they usually use are crossbows and throwing weapons. And Elves use less ranged weapons than dwarves. Try changing that if you could.

I had the same problem, I did what the guy in TWC told me, and it worked. If you are not going to try this, then have fun not playing the game.

THAT'D BE AWESOME.
I played Battle for Middle-Earth expansion pack and Angmar pwned. If there was a submod for that, couldn't wait to get the Troll-Infatry :D

Have you tried the adjust automatically for day light savings or something like that trick? It involves changing the time in your clock so basicly in summer time the clock doesen't go 1 hour+/- than it should be. Worked for me. Are you using Windows 7? if not, this won't work.( I think)

In the final version of the mod, are the fellowship of the ring actually going to affect the Third Age campaign? 'Cause if I play as Isengard I want to take dem hobbits to Isengard.

You don't need THAT much pikemen, i think. just send like half an army of uruk raiders with some archer support and ballistas and with some luck you would defeat at least the Foldburg. When you get that, aim for the Hornburg/that city under Gineard. After getting one of these you should have enough resources for pwning the hell out of Gineard and then you've pretty much got it good. Call an invasion to Edoras and weaken their forces with the others. Possibly then move out to the rest of Rohan and begin to mass up a Uruk-infantry-pikemen-crossbowmen army to gank up on Edoras and then Rohan is pretty much destroyed.

Honestly, y'gotta just hold on. Support the hillmen with archers and uruk-raiders 'til you can get the Barracks/Drill square in Isengard. When you get that, you can pump out half a full army in 5 turns, if you've got enough resources.

I meant the first Uruk-Hai Raiders you get early on. They don't look like the ones from The Fellowship of the Ring( Movie) even when I upgrade them with leather-armor.

I wish the Uruk-Hai raiders looked like the ones in the movies. Just sayin'.

._. are you sure you did exactly what I said? Go to time box
adjust for daylight savings time in change definitions of date and hour? ( Sorry, my computer is in portuguese and I'm not that good of a translator.)

TO EVERYBODY WITH ISSUES ABOUT CRASHING AT BATTLES: I think it's about Windows 7. You go to the time box and deactivate " auto adjust for daylight savings time ", then restart your computer and it should be fine. Thanks to some guy in TWC that posted that, it should work.

But Gondor has much better units, it'd be to think that half an army can hold Osgiliath for quite some time 'til they get reinforcements?

I think Isengard is esentially more powerfull than Mordor, for the simple reason that Mordor has no cavalry, Isengard has better units and the Uruk-Hai Pikemen can easily take down Trolls. I'm thinking on going with 2 campaings, good and evil. Dale or Gondor?

I hope the multiplayer isn't overrun by newbies using melee. Everybody knows a accurate archer in the walls are the deadliest of defenders. Plus is the game free?

If I ever make it to defeat isengard, when my soldiers kill Saruman I will scream: " THIS IS ROHAN!" and kick him into that spiky wheel wooden thingy.

Who's best, Isengard or Rohan? I feel that Rohan is an epic faction to play as but Isengard is awesome too.

By the way,what is going to be the final version?4.0 or 3.5 or something?

Well at least low upkeep.I heard the elves can completely destroy a 1000 Uruk-Hai army with only 201?I mean,at the battle of Helms Deep,none of them survived.And they had Rohan fighting too.I mean,a low upkeep because of food and supplies for orcs(that would cost some money) but not a large amount of money.It's a game but it should be realistic,at least a little bit.I un-installed the mod because orc upkeep was un-realistically high and I couldn't play as Isengard because I would be completely owned by Rohan.

Umm,I have some questions:First of all,is Orc Upkeep removed or lesser?Because I never knew the dark lord paid upkeep for he's orcs!He doesen't even keep them well fed!(I think).Second of all is if I attack Edoras,will it be like in the movies or like a simple MTW fortress?Ah,and is Isengard a little bit stronger?Thanks for responses.
