GreenMario, in The wise

He had sappers. And yeah Pike beats horse.

potterpockets,

Ladders too.

ratz30,

I’d hate to climb a ladder with a pike

MajorMajormajormajor,

Climb the ladder and have your mate pass up the pike.

GreenMario,

This is an accident waiting to happen. Is this ladder even OSHA approved?

mosiacmango,

Nah, you throw your pike straight up and then catch it when you reach the top of the ladder.

Ez

ratz30,

Except when there’s light in the pikemen’s eyes apparently

misterundercoat,

“Captain Ugnark, should we be worried about leaving our rear open to a cavalry charge?”

“Gobruk, you fool! That’s a 60-degree slope, there’s no way that horses could safely charge down it.”

happyhippo,

This is AoE 101

Maybe the walls finished constructing while he was sending his troops across the map. Happens to the best of us.

epyon22,

Forgot to build that siege workshop and just decided to send it

Anticorp,

They said the keep had held for 800 years…

That’s like 5-10 turns tops in the early game!

Norgur, in The wise

Every Total War Player knows how this feels "let's take this city real qui... Wait?! Who the fuck put the pikes into this army?!"

stephan262, in The wise

Me and a friend discussed this and it led to an ongoing joke of pole vaulting pikemen.

Nioxic, in The wise

Wise. A wizard.

Not exactly a very experienced war lord

HumbertTetere, in The wise

Here’s an eight part series by a historian on which parts of the battle are realistic within the world and which are not, in case that kind of thing is interesting to you:

I’ve already read it before, but it’s so so good.

silvercove, in The wise

The Battle of Helm’s Deep is full of very obvious errors. There is an awesome Dutch historian, Roel Konijnendijk, who trashes movies for fun that talks about it:

My favourite one is when they are shouting orders to eachother. There is no way for the Elven archers to hear Aragorn’s commands, or for Aragorn to hear Theoden’s fallback order.

I thought Legolas had a superior hearing, didnt he ? If yes, the elves could have heard Aragorn.

forcequit, in As I was going to bed after 4 AM

austin, in As I was going to bed after 4 AM

Too many people work a 9 to 5. I sleep a 9 to 5, but 9pm to 5am.

InverseParallax, in As I was going to bed after 4 AM

Where was @Doug when the bedtime fell?

Aurenkin, in As I was going to bed after 4 AM

Me: but if I sleep now I’ll have less time to do fun things.

My bed: I am not trying to rob you! I’m trying to help you.

keepcarrot, in The wise

Pikes beat horse dudes, Rohan has horse dudes. Unbeatable logic. Dev did not code for horse dudes having different armour off horse.

davepleasebehave, in The wise

Wise once there is a breach. which is what they planned for.

bobthened, in Shireside

You do know that’s not what shire means, right?

Yendor,

I don’t think he know about Shires, Pip.

teft,
@teft@startrek.website avatar

What about Tookland? Buckland? Bree-land? Overhill? Hobbiton? He knows about them, doesn’t he?

Vaginal_blood_fart,
