To anyone who plays Battle for middle earth 2..

i enjoy this game but im finding that i cant play it because im finding it to difficult. I play on MEDIUM and i start off by building 2 farms then a barracks and start pumping out units, by the time i have even got one set of units out im being ambushed by a **** load of enemys and the games over in a few seconds!!

This is on a skirmish by the way, i just dont know what im doing wrong : ( the computer rushes me like crazy even on normal difficulty.

What you need to do is this(if you haven't done this already): after you choose your map you have the option to change the amount of resources you start the game with, set it to max which is 4000. After the game begins you should build one barracks (but build it close to the fortress cause that's the first thing they'll try to destroy) and a farm and stat training the cheapest units(swordsmen). All you have to do is defend your barracks and farms till you have more resources to make another barracks and more troops.

I play it always on brutal and it works for me.:) Or you could play with an ally to be easier.

Okay, first thing is first. YOu have to find out who you are playing. Goblins, Mordor, Isengard, MOTW, Elves, Or Dwarfs. Second of all, if you are playing, you should download the BFME Fan Patch, It fixes all the bugs, all the unbalanced crap the game comes with. It makes it soo much easier to play and defend. If I remember correctly, it is on the BFME2.Com.

Now, you should always start with the 2X Farm, then Farm + Barrack. Pump out Gondor Archer and Gondor Soldiers. Always creep the MAP!! ALWAYS!!!!!! You should also know the simply things like microing and macroing your army. It's simply to do so! The computer is very stupid and they only attack in waves and never harass you.You should ways try and get a hero like Boromir. His Horn and Leadership is a huge assest to early game. If you feel like you aren't pumping out enough soldiers get another barrack up and then start getting calavry. Try to upgrade but never sacrifice army for upgrades. Build a Well, always retreat your army and heal them.

If you feel like you getting attack way to much then start the Match up with a simply Farm + barrack, then go to a farm farm, but I don't recommend it uless you good at the game. It tends to slow the economy down way too much. All this will work only if you use the fan patch since it makes gondor aracher soo much better.

If you need help just ask, I was very good player.
