Strategies against the Skirmish AI
Sefie1999AD:
The AI is Isengard, as I said. The map is usually Fords of Isen II, as I like playing on Castle maps. So Gondor has a harder time? Which faction(s) do you recommend using against Brutal Isengard in FOI2? Gondor, Rohan and Dwarves are probably my strongest factions, followed by Isengard, followed by Mordor, Lothlorien and Angmar.
5 hours and save & load sounds like a PITA, but I've seen you do it faster, for example here you used Rohan to beat Brutal Isengard in FOI2 in 32 minutes. The basics should be quite obvious: creep with your scout hero and starting units as much as you can, but don't upgrade outer farms as you'll lose them soon anyway, then fill your inner base, defend, upgrade your inner farms and units and get your heroes out. But do you have any tips for the moments when the AI has almost full map control and a superior economy thanks to its 2 Outposts, and you're being overrun by superior numbers and an endless Ballista spam?
I'm sure you've got much better at the game, but the Brutal AI has also improved much in 4.3.x versions, as it gets spellbook powers 2-3 times faster than you and actually uses them, and unlike in 4.2, the AI fills its base with small Arrow Towers, which are eventually upgraded with Steel Bolts.
Elite KryPtik:
Well, as Gondor and Dwarves its going to be a rough time. Pretty much as any faction rushing them to prevent them getting map control is your best bet, this is extremely easy to do as Rohan, but more difficult as Gondor and Dwarves. I honestly don't play much against AI anymore, and as for surviving when they have full map control and 2 outposts, that's just down to micro and luck. There's not really any tips I can give for something like that.

Hello Elite KryPtik and Odysseus,
first of all thank you for all those tips you posted here! They helped me to defeat brutal AI's regularly, finally. But unfortunately, now with Rivendell I've got huge problems dealing with brutal AI's, especially against Angmar, since they are spamming hill men and catapults right from the beginning. Since the early game has always been the most difficult period of a match for me I'm heavily struggling with Rivendell, in that aspect. Most of the time, I'm playing on maps with camps not fortresses which makes this task even harder. :( Btw, I always use 1000 starting resources.
Thus, could you please give me some tips concerning build orders, units, etc.? Thanks in advance! :)
