put all of your remaining elves on the long wall (where all the ladders came in the movie) Now put 4 battalions of your elves on top of the wall above the main gate. demolish the armory and build another farm (u will need the resources later).
#Lotr bfme helms deep upgrade
upgrade all of your elves with the banner carrier now. then build an armory and get the banner carrier upgrade, and thats it. when your archery range ranks up make sure to get the fire arrow upgrade and equip it to all of your elves. then when you gain control of the elves that come to help, demolish 2 of your farms and build 2 archery ranges (including the one already given to you at the start). The key is to build all farms at the beginning. That's what I did, pretty much, it's a very hard battle but I got there in the end. When you have killed off all the enemy around the walls, join forces with Eromir and Gandalf to finish of the Isengard camps. Then send them out, like in the movie, and slaughter all the remaining forces around Helm's Deep while Gandalf and Eromir attack the camps. When you have 2 or 3 battalions ready in Helm's Deep, mount the king on his own horse and group him together with them. It was a very hard battle and I think Legolas ended up with over 200 kills just by himself (easily beating the amount Gimli made ).Īs soon as Gandalf and Eromir arrive, get them attacking the Isengard camps and keep building more horses in Helm's Deep. I think that was at least halfway through. I killed the first orc mine but when they brought 2 orc mines up they were able to blow up the wall. I almsot lost Legolas when it blew up, thanx to Aragorn's special hero healing power, he was fine though.
Just make sure you don't lose many men when it blows up. I found it much easier to defend the keep once the orc mines had blown up the wall. Just do your best to hold off the attack till Eromir and Gandalf arrive. Try to take out the siege engines with the calvary to minimise the damage they do to your archers, if they're not attacking the siege engines, keep the calvary moving at all costs. As soon as you have 2 battalions of horse, send them out of the gate that Aragorn and Gimli used, and down the ramp. Then about 75% of the way through the battle, I destroyed one of my Archer schools and built a Calvary school. As soon as they have killed the current wave against the gate, send them back inside again and help with the rest of the battle. Take 2 elven archer battalions with you and Aragorn and Gimli and kill the guys that are storming the main gates and the battering rams.
About halfway through the battle, build one of those special gates next to the main gates so you can send men out without opening the main gates. The same goes for the siege engines, just have to target them manually.Īnother tip to winning this battle is to do what Aragorn and Gimli did in the movie. I let my bowmen shoot at whatever they wanted for the most part, except when the orcs with mines came and then targetted them directly. The other heroes are good to have close at hand too because as soon as the Isengard armies get on your wall you are going to need a lot of sword fighting people there. You have to get the flame arrow upgrade done as soon as possible and make sure you have Gimli, Aragorn and Borrimir down at the main part of the battle (near where they try to blow up the wall). What I did for Helm's Deep was what you did except I used the Elven Archers rather than just standard archers, so they can use swords. Obviously playing a game you are able to choose whatever you want to do, as long as you beat the enemy.
