Could the entire cRPG community defend Helm's Deep against Saruman's Uruk-Hai?

[Nightingale]

When the battle started all NA players rushed the forum and started drama threads about how unbalanced it is that the Uruks have 10.000 tickets and at least full +1 equip everywhere, including plate and Arbalests, and how their balanced build is faster than the average NA STR crutching build.

And Lt_Anders opened at least three ban request threads (one against Saruman). Meanwhile the battle was lost.

End of story.

well, maybe if we opened up one big ban request on the whole army. for (insert random reasoning here).If the admins took action fast... you know we might stand a chance! its a good thing we have some pretty good delaying xbow cav they might beable to win it for us.

All we need is frank the tanks catapult at the breach....

Are you kidding? The archers were where it was all at in Helm's Deep. Considering how severly nerfed they are at the moment, we would be overrun.

I would try to jump off the wall to charge the uruks at the beginning of the battle. I would get stuck in the ramparts and then kicked to death by gentle teammates trying to unstuck me. My corpse would miserably and shamefully fall from the wall in front of Saruman's army, who would start spamming the chat to make fun of me. They would finally be muted by an admin, GTX and go back to their boring uruk bots life fighting in Third Age Total War.

Notice the grappling hook dude on the left. How?
How can you throw a grappling hook with a rope shorter than the wall and still be able to have scaled it? He must have been thrown by other Uruks, and then thrown the grappling hood mid-flight to met this fate.

[Edit]: WAIT! Oh gods. There was a traitor on the other side helping the uruk by pulling him up. I bet it was Legolas. He was upset that Tolkien nerfed archery.

Simple, I would shoot them all ( sorry for teamhits )

Of course, we would all have our various characters and wouldn't actually be skinny/fat nerdlings.

10,000 Uruk-Hai, Orcs, and Goblins. Siege towers, crossbowmen, one bomb and a vulnerable weak point. One main gate at the top of a narrow bridge which can be broken if enough damage is dealt.
The Uruk-Hai all wear heavy plate, have pikes, one handed swords with no shields, and two handed swords.
Jackie Chan can be Legolas, and I will be Aragorn.
Can we win?
Edit: I ask because I got LOTR extended edition on blu ray for my birthday and I just got to the helm's deep battle, and I kept imagining myself xbow'ing away and pulling out a mallet to whack them when they put up a ladder!

Why do you need the crpg community for this? Ask around in Warband forums. Extra Invasion had a LOTR faction you could fight against. Or if you dont want to fight bots you can still ask those guys for the armor/character/weapon modules and find someone willing to put it together.

That is very easy to explain. He simply held on to the end of the rope while throwing. So he was pulled by the flying rope upwards. The only question is why he held it at the very end, it would have saved him precious time if he simply held on to the top of the rope.

He did, but some dirty elf kicked him in the head and now he has ultimate rope burn on his hands =\

No wonder our game balance is so realistic.

He ascended above humanity and became the god of siegecraft.
