Fundamentally there is a huge problem with Moria. It is a numbers based faction with no dedicated greatshield infantry and weaker trolls. In a siege the faction gets clobbered if it's on offense because its low quality troops struggle to make headway unlike Mordor or Angmar where the greatshield units actually allow their low tier units space to use their numbers. Until this is fixed Moria will be a low tier faction.
Bless you algorithm Edit : Damn, why would you recruit snaga skirmisher when you can just field more gobbo infantry. 100 vs 400 and gobbo could hide anywhere.
In my opinion, it's freaking ridiculous, to the point of being immersion breaking, that a troll that weighs probably twice as much as a fully armoured lancer on horseback and is wielding a weapon that weighs at least as much as an unarmoured man somehow has a lower charge value than a goblin wielding a two-handed sword....
Reforged audience has always had a strange bias against evil factions, Moria is still pretty low tier in the faction list both on the field and siege. Conversely any particular weakness a good faction might have the devs will just provide all the units (so pretty much every good faction has a pike phalanx whereas evil don't, dwarves get busted goat cav rather than having to be balanced with subpar mercenary cav etc.)
@@nikolay48 and that just makes the stat disparity even more glaring. The trolls literally have a more powerful charge whilst just walking and not even attacking, but still a goblin with a sword has a higher charge bonus. How does that even remotely make sense?
@@gustavchambert7072 i would say because balance. Else even the cheapest and most basic of Trolls are over powered and you need to pay way more money for them. You basically get what you pay for.
@gustavchambert7072 I'm still confused charge bonus on infantry is never as good as cavalary and almost impossible to make it 100% effective stop getting upset over numbers they are not everything, balance is also something that third age tries to maintain as its a really populat mod for multilayer, and nobody would want to play the game that's unbalanced. And even if the stats are higher on the swordsman I think everyone that has played eith trolls will agree that a unit of trolls will do significantly more that the units of swordsmen despite the difference in stats(referring to the charge stat in particular) P.S if you are unhappy with the stats you can always open the files and eddit it to your desire you have all the freedom. Don't cry over a few numbers
Amazing video as always. Also,
Would it possible to do similar favtion overview videos but for silmarion total war mod?

Great faction
Might be a silly question but is there still a faction with oathbreakers available ?

Yeah but you can Literally tell your trolls to walk trough the enemy line literally breaking trough like nothing.
