Been trying to complete every single map in brutal diff or hard if not able. My experience has told me its a los easier to face multiple AIs in brutal rather than just 1 or 2 because they "steal" space for building, so they cant expand properly and gain an advantage in resources. When facing only 1 brutal AI, it grows faster than a fly's interest in your dogs shit. It will always outbuild you and spam armies constantly, by 5 or 10 min its already sending 2 catapults, with heroes and tons of infantry.

Use heroes only. For the Men of the West, first thing you do is Eomer; then follow with Eowyn and Theoden. And your custom hero, of course. Then follow those with Boromir, Faramir, Aragorn and finally Gandalf. After that, make full arrow towers for all add ons of your fortress, and fully upgrad it. Then add a second fortress and fully upgrade it, then a fully upgraded third, forth and fifth. Keep ALL heroes on foot, and use all their powers (automate all powers that can be automated) and all palantir powers. For elves, start with Arwen, Haldir, Glorfindel, Elrond, Thranduil and finally Legolas (take your custom hero as soon as possible too) For Dwarves, take Gloin, Bard, King Dain, Gimli. For Goblins, start with Goblin King, Azog, Shelob and the Dragon. For Mordor, it's that orc captain, the Mouth of Sauron and then the Nazghuls For Isengard, Lurtz, Grima, the Warg rider hero and Saruman. I can beat ANY amount of AIs on Brutal on ANY map with heroes "only" (heroes and a ton of fully upgraded fortresses). To make things easier, add as many of the "mini heroes" units as possible (the 2 noldor battalions for elves, the Nazghuls riders for Mordor, the Deathbringers for Isengard and so forth). It's easy... It will be an insane fight, but it's pretty manageable. And you'll have tons of fun throwing spears from Eomer and Eowyn into catapults, or Bard's black arrows into Mumakils and so forth. Just make sure to use your powers property against the right targets

Phenomenal defense fending off the constant heavy attack. Ur elf hero was well built and OP. Only advice i would give is this: don’t use Ghosts, hurricanes, and archers against structures, they have no effect. Use it only against troops.

Absolutely not; catapults would have totally decimated the defenses from distance. Shrinking into a tiny place is never a good option. Also, a combined attack would destroy it too. This worked well because the attacks were not coherent.

My favorite game of all time. Still have the disc and box after all these years. I would have recommended leading with the earthquake, sending in army of the dead against mobs not structures, then Rohirim while the army drew fire. Also, target order would have been take out what's killing you before anything else if possible, and don't stand in one place while catapults are raining down.

Nice, you could go into more archers and less towers from the start I guess. Was loving compstomps in my time where servers were alive and well. Favorite map nanduhirion. It's way harder without custom hero, yet is a bit easier with elves. Also worst as enemy are goblins and elves cause range of mountain giants and treants makes it horrific experience. It is also bad vs human and angmar for trebuchet reasons. Anyway, wp.
