yea its always good to pick fords, rivers and mountains to situate your fort on. so you can force enemies to group which make lovely targets for missiles and catapults.

hey thats how i build too, trebuchets in the back walls, towers in the front, well done :) Another thing i do is forget about using postern gates and just build walls in a maze-like configuration instead, making it tougher for foes to get around or even climb my walls since even if they can climb they take a long time to do it and get slaughtered hehe, its so much fun to build nice complex fortresses :)

thanks alot mate, im glad you liked it. it makes me want to make more.. and even longer ones

i agree with that, but what i ment was for a new game or expansion pack to come out to allow you to build certain types of walls. like walls that keep infantry out or walls where you can stand on. and to build these new things you need to upgrade your 'age' like first age and second age etc.

in reality, mordor had very little raw materials and such. The black gate and Minas Ithil (Morgul) were built by the the Numernoreans/Gondorians. The orcs had to venture out insearch of food and materials.

People hardly use forts and now you give them a reason to use them with this great vid.

about 20 mins into the game, the trick is build strong units but few of them then build your fort, defend against attacks succesfuly then counter attack with lots of units or a few that you have been building!

thats cool mate =) i suppose you probably could defeat these defenses=] but i like to experiment with my forts and i decided to put one of them up on youtube.

thanks now i know wich map i could use for a cool fortress cool vid

the thing is , if you have that many defences you dont need many units, maybe a few to surround the border, usualy with elves, i find a enclosed space for my industrial units, like the forge , and unit production buildings, wall it off, farms everywhere, then elven archers surround the farms and parts of the walls

they should make the game more sofisticated. like you can go 3d, be able to make walls where people can stand on and raise and lower land etc. that would make the best bfme

yh i just get some heroes to sorta rush some of the trees which will do me loads of damage. and sometimes, this is a glitch, you can get the troll guy to jump over the wall with his leap attack

it is effective online only in some maps. its designed very badly i think because there is a huge advantage to the enemy if you have walls. they can shoot but you cant shoot back only if you open your gate. they should make it so you can build walls like the ones in helms deep and minas tirith(only slightly smaller) and have the option to build the same type of wall here, but let them have catapults which have a larger range. and archers can fire over(not with bombard)

agree totaly =] hopefuly bfme3 or somat else will have that cause it annoys me cause the catapults on the walls dont have the range of normal catapults so walls are destroyed easily. the main points of walls are to keep ur units safe, not so that ur units have to prevent them from being destroyed

aw thats awsome. they should make it so you can open and close it, or make a ledge above it so archers can fire. but i dont really fortify that place because you can get trapped in. eek!

Damn, Dude Thx i can never win on this game but now that i have been doing it this way i have won some i win 2/3 matches thx.
