Isengard (faction)

Isengard is a faction comprised of all who made up Saruman's armies and allies in the Third Age.

Game performance
The faction of Isengard is made up of servants to Saruman. Isengard's basic orcs take up a lot of command points, but are free in The Battle for Middle-earth. Haradrim are cheap, taking few command points. Trolls are expensive, but take very few command points, making large groups feasible. Isengard has three siege weapons: catapults for bombarding, rams for demolishing in close proximity, and siege towers for invading from a castle's walls. Múmakil are enormous and destructive to all infantry.

Isengard Orc swordsmen
Isengard swordsmen are the backbone of the Isengard army. They are skillful fighters and are a useful unit in a skirmish, for their low cost.

Isengard Orc archers
Isengard's basic ranged unit

Easterling Pikemen
Isengard's only pikemen; effective against heroes, beasts, and cavalry.

Haradrim archers
Isengard's elite ranged unit

Corsairs of Umbar
A swordsman unit who can switch from swords to ranged fire-bombs.

Isengard battering ram
Basic slow siege-unit.

Isengard catapult
Ranged siege weapon that comes with flaming projectiles.

Siege tower
A protective ladder allowing infantry to scale rampart-walls; less dexterous than Mordor's ladder.

Attack troll
Unlike the Cave troll, Attack trolls are not only powerful, but have armor, and wield a huge club.

Mumakil (the Oliphaunt)
Mumakil are Isengard's most powerful unit. They trample all enemy infantry, and come with archers in their war tower.
