Battle For Middle-Earth Good Campaign Map 12, Act 11 - Isengard

Send all Ents north to destroy Troll's Lair. Trolls have no chance against Ents so no problem there. Collect treasure & grow more Ents at the Entmoot.

Destroy Goblin Cave to the far west, collect treasure & grow more Ents.

Send all your Ents to the far north of the map & have Merry & Pippin wait in some Elven Forest ready for the walls toi come down. Start the bombardment of the wall & any buildings inside within range.

Walk all Ents clockwise around the walls, destroying all structures & fire arrow crossbows within range inside the walls. Best chance of not getting burned too soon. Don't be tempted to destroy the gate either as it's best to keep the Uruks behind closed doors for now. You should be able to reach a few of the fire crossbows & Pikes at the base of the dam. Kill as many as you can reach without the Ents going inside the walls. Believe me, this will make life far easier for when you do get inside the walls & have any chance of destroying the dam.

When you seem to be doing well with destroying structures inside the walls, Saruman will turn up. He will start firing balls of flame from his staff quite regularly so throw quite literally all you can at him before he kills any of the Ents. He is very swift on his feet for someone a few millennia old & with the Ents not being very hasty by the time they've thrown their rocks Saruman has moved. I managed to surround & flatten him in the end. Yes my Ents look rather ill but their still alive. A quick dash to the pond & then a heal & they're ready for some more stone throwing again.

Send Ents into Isengard once east pickings from outside the wall have been destroyed. Kill all fire crossbows as soon as you can & then all Uruk Pits. You may lose a few Ents in the process but if you're careful enough you could get them to the pond outside the gates to douse the flames. Then use healing power to boost them again. As soon as the Rohirrim Power is available & if you can get through the gates that is, send them into Isengard to trample as many Uruks as possible & at least all the fire crossbows. Be careful with the Ents as the un-upgraded Rohirrim little time against the armoured Uruks so make the most of them. I managed to destroy all the buildings losing only 1 Ent but collected all the resources & managed to muster

By the time I had destroyed all the internal structures, collected all treasure (sacrificed the Rohirrim to get the cash near the dam) & grown all the Ents I could afford I had Treebeard, 29 Ents with Merry & Pippin. it's a shame there is no facility to allow Merry & Pippin to sit on Treebeard's shoulders to add more firepower. I pretty good Last March but a shame there are no forest of Huorns to command as a special power for Treebeard perhaps.

.

As the Ents are destroying the remaining fire crossbows, pikes & walls I managed to summon the Rohirrim in the midst of the fire crossbows at the base of the dam.

Finally all the enemies & structures apart from Orthanc have been destroyed. For a laugh I decided to surround Orthanc with all the Ents throwing boulders at it. I went for a cup of tea to see if I had made any impact

After 20 minutes 30 Ents hadn't made a dent on Orthanc's health so I sent them all to the dam to finish the map. The health of the dam only has to reach around 50% before it collapses

Objectives - Destroy the Dam, Kill Saruman & Ensure Treebeard survives. I set a personal objective of not losing any Ents at all so I could have the best "Last March of The Ents" I could muster.

Prize for total victory - +2 Power & +10% Resources.
Total score - 36,199 - Total Victory.

Upon Total Victory I ended with a full quota of Merry, Pippin, Treebeard & 29 Ents. All structures were destroyed & all resources collected. Action moves to Faramir with Frodo & Sam in Northern Ithilien. On the offensive are the Haradrim Army of 3 Mumakil & 180 Evil men. All other Armies of Mordor still waiting in Mordor.
