The best medicine against MM are dwarves. Especially Erebor because they have crazy attack damage. Erebor kills the orcs a bit faster than they can be spammed from the Ai. Other dwarfs are also completely Ok to use. But for example i played Gondor once against hard or brutal i think and i got crushed. You May win in the early game but the longer the game lasts the stronger MM becomes. But not with dwarfs they can shred MM

I find the strength of AI MM decreases rapidly as the game goes on, the Balrog is their only true late game tool that helps them secure some time, if they cant make mountain giants there isnt much they can do against a consolidated defence

I don't really get it how is misty mountains so strong? even on "smaller" maps

[@Naodline2627]

@@Al_Kabana there are a few things that makes MM stronger than most, probably enough for a full video but I'll summerise them: Every settlement building is also a recruitment building so they have a near endless supply of troops. Although their camps and castles are smaller than other factions, if they have space around their base for a gundabad and goblin town expansion they will have more resource generation and recruitment. Their powers are all good, even though they dont use 4 of them they still have the strongest summon in the balrog, and a very annoying early summon that can spawn large numbers of troops. Mountain giants remain the strongest 'siege unit' and all the ai needs to spam this monsterous unit is one outpost, and there are some factions that cannot deal with them without sustaining heavy casualties
