Battle For Middle-Earth Good Campaign Map 15, Act 14 - Emyn Arnen

Initially scouted east but came across this Troll immediately so headed south but came across loads of Rhûn spears. I thought of heading back to the castle to recover but noticed that the 3 battalions of Gondor Knights to make contact with were waiting in the far south west of the map. Make contact with them & escort them back to the castle. Beware of toll cave on the way & of course spears.

After a quick scout it soon became clear that this would be a tough battle so started building up troops behind walls with all upgraded archers sent to the walls to defend against all comers. Send horses out to scout with minimal confrontation as the spears of the soldiers of Rhûn & armoured Trolls are particularly nasty.

Looks like the enemy have killed the troll but left the treasure to the east. Destroy Lumber mill, collect treasure & head further east.

Found some more treasure whilst being pursued by some Soldiers of Rhun.

After a full clockwise scout of the map it transpires that the main enemy camp is to the far south east with another small camp to the north west of it. Loads of Evil Men with spears so headed back to man camp again drawing them to the walls with me. Regenerate & rebuild horses & archers behind the walls.

Things were getting scary until I could afford to build a few towers on the battlements whilst rebuilding behind the walls.

Tried to sent my Rangers to the Elven Forest outside the gate but was attacked by a stack of enemies so decided to retreat until I had cleared a few away with the tower archers first. The dumb enemies seemed the just wait there for ages until they were all killed whilst I was upgrading behind the walls.

Summoned Rohirrim & sent them south to build a heavily fortified medium camp with all towers apart from 2 farms at the rear. Managed to clear away all the Evil men before the Rohirrim vanished fortunately. Left southern camp to see how upgrades in the north were going.

Everyone was upgraded. Sent them to destroy small enemy camp in the centre & trample a few Evil men on the way. There are 3 Soldier of Rhûn tents here where I suspect most of the assaults are coming from. There were hoards of Rhûn Soldiers on my tail so strategic hits & retreats worked eventually.

Send out all horses & Faramir to keep attacking small enemy camp & draw back enemies to main camp to be picked off by archers & towers. I eventually built a strategic base in its place, garrisoned both abandoned towers to the north & south with fully upgraded archers. This was not before my resources had accumulated to the level that I could head east & build a medium camp . Soldiers of Rhun were again hot on my tail so needed to build defences quickly & a well to regenerate.

I decided to send everything I had to the small camp in the centre of the map & finally wipe it out.

With the centre of the map defended I sent Faramir & horses clockwise around the map to build farms & camps wherever possible.

Send horses back to fountain in small camp to heal & Elves to main camp while they last to kill off as many enemies coming from the main camp. Send the horses in for some strategic trampling & destruction before retreating to heal. I got impatient & had heavy casualties so headed back to centre camp & trained a few more horses. My archers seem to have done well.

I managed to destroy all but one structure before heading back to the fountain to recover but managed to get another battalion of archers trained whilst the command points were down. Now it was time to explore the rest of the map & build wherever I can whilst making occasional attacks on the main enemy camp to subdue any rebuilds. Some of the Lumber Mills destroyed earlier had been destroyed so do it again & build farms where plots are available & any camps.

When all plots have been built on send all troops with the help of the Rohirrim & Elves to finish off the enemy camp.
