Battle For
Middle-Earth Good Campaign Map 19, Act 14 - Druadan Forest
Build mostly farms in the camp initially, one fountain & a postern gate at the northern end of the western wall. Group all archers & spread them along the front wall & close the gate. Build towers when resources allow & send all mounted troops & heroes scouting south.
Destroy Goblin Lair to the south west & collect treasure.
More Goblins to the east.
If you've placed the archers well & built a few towers the northern camps should be looking after itself. Build small camp with a well & 2 farms on the peninsular to the left of this picture & take all cavalry further east to trample as many enemies as possible without losing any battalion or Hero.
Suddenly I came across an enemy camp being built. Kill any enemies around the camp & destroy any structures as soon as you can.
Build a strategic camp here to carry on scouting & healing from & build resources. With full array of Sentry Tower it should look after itself whilst the horses carry on scouting.
Head east to destroy a lumber mill & build a farm. Head further east again & collect some treasure perhaps left from a Goblin Lair.
Looks like I've found the main enemy camp. Destroy a few structures with the horses & carry on north to see what else there is. Beware of 5 Trolls fighting each other to the west of the camp. If you're careful you can run past & draw them to the main camp & kill them with the archers on the walls. As long as you destroy the Troll Cage first there won't be any more trolls for a short while at least.
Now that the main enemy camp has been exposed, start working across the map to the north & east building farms & camps as you go.
After heading north I came across another large enemy camp so headed east to destroy the camp I had discovered earlier. By now I had enough resources to fully arm the fortress.
Headed north to attack another enemy camp but discovered small troll camp the the east. Decided to destroy northern medium camp with all that I had.
With all this action going on all over the place I decided it was time to start cleaning the map up. Went west first to destroy the Troll camp & a few trolls in the are. Very easy if you have a load of fire arrows. Explore every inch of the map methodically, collect any treasures & build structures. Not much enemy action now so I suspect that I've destroyed all troop build structures. Discovered a small slaughterhouse camp to the south east & a Haradrim camp to the north east.
At this point I took a 3 month break whilst I completed the Hard Evil Campaign, go on holiday & try to have a life other than BFME. I also decided to complete the Hard Evil campaign so that the last campaign I complete will be the Good one. After all, Good always triumphs over Evil in the end. So after 4 months of playing online & various skirmishes to polish my skills I pick up the battle with one last small enemy camp left to the north east. My medium camp to the west of the enemy is getting attacked so after refreshments I send all troops to defend, refresh & then make an all out assault on the last camp.
After destroying the last enemy settlement to the far north east I sent everyone to converge on the last small camp to win the battle.
