Battle For Middle-Earth Evil
Campaign Map 8, Act 8 - Westfold
Build main camp with forges & a few sentry towers on the eastern limit of the camp. Leave 2 battalions of fully upgraded pike - crossbow hordes at the camp & send rest of army with Lurtz counter clockwise to scout out map.
The main Rohan camp is just to the north east of here with an Eagle hanging around. Destroy the Eagle & head back east to build up small camp with defensive towers & another in the south west of map with slaughterhouses. Keep building main camp at the same time. Build a Lumber Mill to the immediate north of the defensive camp after destroying the farm.
With the 2 smaller camps built & defended, send all troops back to the main camp to upgrade where necessary with Armoury. I build 6 Furnaces to maximise upgrade discounts at the main camp with the other 2 plots having the Armoury & a slaughterhouse.
The Peasants & Yeomen Archers are having a go at the main camp but they are no chance against Lurtz & all his fully upgraded Uruks.
Send Lurtz & most of Uruks clockwise around map, build Lumber Mills where you can as there are plenty of trees to fell to remove cover that can be used by Elves. A small camp is further to the east again so destroy that & build.
Some summoned Elves & a few Rohirrim arrive to the south but they were cleared away with Pikes & fire crossbows.
I considered rushing the main Rohan gate at this time but had another Eagle to deal with & the eastern side of the map to investigate first. Built a siege works & defensive towers at this northern small camp.
However, I discovered the small Rohan camp to the far east so decided to leave a battalion of pikes at the siege works camp to see off any horses, build a few Ballistas & go for the main camp first.
Managed to blast a hole in the Rohan wall so sent everyone in to destroy what I could before losing too many command points. Another Eagle was hanging around here as well so be careful to take him out with the fire arrows.
Camp was destroyed without too much loss. Build large camp & headed south to clear away some farms.
When all farms have been destroyed & built on, head north to destroy remaining camp to complete battle. Ensure you destroy last farm to the north east to kill off the last Rohan building.

Next map is a choice of Saruman with 160 Uruks or with Lurtz & 190 Uruks at Dunharrow for +50 Command & +1 Power. I chose to Stay with Lurtz for now to boost his experience. Plenty of maps to level up Saruman later. I know Dunharrow can be a difficult map to play even though it is small.
