Battle For
Middle-Earth Good Campaign Map 13, Act 13 - Northern Ithilien
Set Frodo & Sam on stone throwing with Faramir's main power also autoset. You will be attacked by a battalion of Haradrim to the east but easily taken out.
Kill Haradrim, destroy the lumber mill to the north east & collect treasure. Buy fire arrows as soon as you can & upgrade battalions of rangers as they are trained.
More Haradrim & another Lumber Mill to the east. Destroy & pillage. To the north west another camp & Mumakil are waiting. Hit the Mumakil with fire arrows gradually until it reaches around 10% health & the tower on its back should catch fire. I managed to get it to trample the last battalion of Haradrim & destroy the camp before it died.
Collect more treasure in the Orc tents
More treasure on the hill to the east.
Setup Rangers & heroes in the trees over the ravine & take out any enemies below.
make contact with Rangers & Trebuchet to the south on the high land. Head north along the high ground sweeping away enemies as fast as you can with the fire arrows. Use the trebuchet on the Mumakil to the east.
Didn't take long to kill 3 battalions of Orcs in the camp with some strategically placed Elven Forestry.
I wasn't sure what to build at first so decided to build resource structures & Forge & upgrade any resources I need from the Forbidden pool.
Killed all the Haradrim & Mumakil but at the same time more are being trained in the camp to the north. Gather all troops & head to the camp to at least cripple it. I trained a few battalions of Horses for some trampling action as well as a healthy quota of Archers. Destroy Mumakil Pen as soon as you are in range, then destroy any troop generating structures.
I managed to destroy most of the enemy camp but not with some major health losses & plenty of Elven Forest. Went back to camp to regenerate what I had & trained some horses, archers & soldiers at the Forbidden Pool.
All troops were regenerated, upgraded & sent north to finish off the remains of the enemy camp.

Total score
- 78,385 - Total Victory.
Upon Total Victory I ended with a full quota of Faramir, Frodo & Sam, 2 Ranger Battalions, 6 Archer Battalions, 5 Knight Battalions & 2 Soldier - Archer Battalions. Probably not the best combination but I know I will soon need some fully upgraded Archers to take over abandoned towers.. We'll see how they fare in the next map.
Action can either continue with Faramir & Gondor Army at either Cair Andros for +20 Command & +2 Power or Crossroads for +3 Power or with Rohan Army of Eomer, Theoden, Eowyn, Merry, 95 Archers, 5 Peasants & 50 Rohirrim at Dunharrow for +20 Command & +1 Power or Halifirien for +20% Resources
Gandalf, Pippin & Boromir are on their way through the Druadan Forest towards Minas Tirith. Legolas, Aragorn & Gimli are still at Dunharrow. Apart from another 60 Soldiers of Rhûn north of Dagorlad, all other Armies of Mordor still waiting in Mordor.
