Osgiliath

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Hey guys,
Today I bring you one of my best maps I ever made :)
Sauron gathers his forces ready to strike minas tirith and throw middle earth into darkness. Something blocks his way. A garrison of 500 men ready to give their lives for the safety of the free people

Some basic tips(I count the essential): If the West osgiliath tower is destroyed all units who protect west part of the city will die(human). To win you must destroy the Castle of osgiliath, as evil of course.
As an evil guy your units are very, very powerfull. Bersekers would be the unit essential in your game. Haradrim archers would be the second essentials unit cuz... most of 20 of them would be able to kill a lot of guys. Another very important unit would be the cave trolls. They have about 3 minutes of train time so it will be more effective to have one barrack focused on making trolls. When you have got the trolls... You're just a god, until they kill your troll with archers.
As the good guy, you should be making first a hero, It will be very usefull against the bersekers who just slash everything but they are low at health. Another very important tip would be to gain all your units into two choke or three choke points at west osgiliath tower and at the castle. At the begining of the game don't try to retake the gate cuz you have no chance, they have too many bersekers.
Let the best win!

Changelog:
From this thread Osgiliath 1.3 there where a lot of changes made, most important would be the resize the new orc bases and the west osgiliath tower.

Mostly, the terrain has been changed a bit.

Other than that, it's just a who kills the enemy's units first.

Also, it looks like you did not credit everyone:

Awaiting Update.

These are some LotR maps to take inspiration from:
LOTR : War for the Rings ( elves )
Lotr : Defense of Minas Tirith
Lord of the Rings Risk: Strongholds
