The Lord Of The Rings: The Battle ... Tips & Hints

More powerful creatures
To make a Troll more powerful, have it pick up a tree as a club. It is slower, but much more powerful. To make an Ent more powerful, have it to pull boulders out of buildings or rock piles to throw at enemies. This is a very powerful long-range attack.



Good army spying in skirmish mode
The Evil factions of the game both have a Spying power they can use. However, Good factions have no spying power. Early in Skirmish mode, recruit the Hobbit available to you. Have him run over to an enemy castle, camp, etc. He should be able to make it to the citadel, unless the enemy is playing a Good faction and has closed the castle gate. Once inside (or outside the gate if it has been closed), activate his Elven Cloak. He will remain there, untouchable by the enemy. By doing this, you will have a permanent spy. Note: If he moves, he will be exposed until he can use his cloak again. When selecting all your units by pressing Q, hold [Shift] and deselect your spy before ordering everybody to move or attack.



Bypassing the command point limit
If you have reached your command point limit during a mission, send out a battalion or two (with the Banner Carrier upgrade) of soldiers. Have them fight until there is only one or two men remaining in the battalions/hordes. Then, send them back to your base, near a Healing Well for the Good side. You have just freed up several command points. Your damaged battalions can regenerate. Use this strategy to make up to three battalions of cavalry to raid your opponent with.



More command points on skirmish
When you are in the skirmish home page create a user account called ineedpower. make sure it is i need power with no spaces or capitals. When i used this cheat i was mordor at the black gate and i got 400 command points.

Tip: be mordor and get loads of warriors when using this cheats as you get 15 warriors for free and only 20 command points.

Defeating Isengard
When you are fighting Isengard, either use Summon Rohan Allies or start out as Rohan. Build a stable and a lot of farms. Close the main gate and build a Postern Gate instead. Build an army of Riders Of Rohan and walk over the Uruk-Hai's. To counter battering rams, use Yeoman or Elven Archers. To counter Warg Riders and Siege Ladders, use Heroes or Sentry Towers. Note: With the riders, just ride over the Uruks. It will either kill or stun them for you to finish. With the riders, try summoning Eomer to the field and give them a bonus or two.



Defeating Rohirrim
When Isengard, Pikeman can easily defeat Cavalry if their numbers are similar. However, by combining a Pikeman horde with a Crossbow horde you can have one of the most powerful anti-Cavalry groups there are.

As Mordor, there really is no cheap way to deal with Cavalry. Trolls and Mumaks are your best bet, considering they have heavy damage with little harm done to them. Try getting creative and putting Orc Archers with fire arrows inside the Mumakil. This can make for a devastating blow to even a castle, and not just enemy soldiers.



General strategies
Always close your Castle Gate and build a Postern Gate instead.



Quick Building Take Down
When Playing Isengard and you have Lurtz with his leadership ability send him running with the sword and about 20 beserkers they cost less command than a normal unit and do crazy damage(Especially with lurtz's +100% to damage)



Defeating Trolls
Make a horde/battalion of archers and give them the Fire upgrade. Shoot the troll until it catches on fire (like Ents), then run away. The troll will die very quickly.



General hints
Here are some tips for all armys.

Gondor:
Train lots of archers untill your range ranks then get them all killed and replace tham with rangers.

Rohan:
If playing against isengard make lots of archers (the mounted ones) to counter any pikemen

Mordor:
Harad warriors are quite cheap for the power of their attack also they can be mounted on a mumaks effectively



Get money
When playing as Isengard, make the orks that are for free. Then click on them and then click on your slaughter house. You will get money while you got them for free.

Command Point Loop Hole
This only works for the Light faction. Build up to the command limit. After doing so build a well at one of your bases, because not only do they heal troops but they also replace lost units. Send your units into battle and let men from each battalion die, in order to have your command points go down.

Before returning your men to the well build more battlions of your choice. (You must take down the command points low enough to build more troops). Build back up to the command limit. Once the command limit has been reached send the wounded battalions to the well.

The well will replace the missing troops and therefore build you above the command limit. Usually you can build one or two battalions above the command point limit. You must keep at least one unit alive from a battalion in order to replace the units from the battalion so be careful!
