Hi everyone,

I've been playing 2.22 (campaign) long enough to see a common reoccurring pattern with the AI and my play styles.

When I am playing Gondor I always end up using only Ithilien rangers with fire arrows due to their range, fire rate and damage output. When playing Rohan I end up using only Elven warriors for the same reason as the rangers and because cavalry become weak the minute Mordor brings out trolls, soldiers of Rhun and Haradrim. When playing Mordor I just spam orc archers with fire arrows and the same with Isengard crossbowmen since all the orc and uruk warriors don't last long especially when the AI also spams rangers and elves. Trolls and mumakils despite being tanky are slow moving large targets that get shot to pieces anyway !

The reason I do this is because all infantry melee units end up dying really fast in pitched battle even with upgrades and you have to keep rotating them before they get overwhelmed. Cavalry are god like when the enemy only has swordman units but once pikes and larger units like trolls start being fielded they die fast.

I just wanted to know how you all kept your sword and spear units alive because they look cool and would like to use them more.

Thanks a lot.
