Alright, let's dive into Part 24 of our Lord of the Rings Online adventure! This section focuses on the Mordor Army, and trust me, they're a bit different from the factions you might have played already. Mordor units are generally weaker but have very specific roles, so you'll need to be smart with your tactics.

Walkthrough

1
You'll start with a bunch of orcs. Your first priority is to gather some cash by 'butchering the refugees' (yes, it's grim, but it's how you get resources early on). While doing that, explore east to find a spot to build your base camp.
2
Once your camp is up, get ready for raids from the south. The Haradrim Lancers are not happy about joining Sauron, so you'll need to defend. You have two main options here: fight them all off or bribe them. The guide recommends bribing because your orcs might struggle against the sheer numbers of Haradrims.
3
To bribe, you'll need 10,000 resources. Build up your defenses and produce a lot of orcs (using two orc pits is recommended to keep up with production). Your orcs will likely die quickly, which can be frustrating, but keep building them to hold the line.
4
When you have 10,000 resources, click on your main citadel (the central building) and select the tribute cart. It builds instantly.
5
Now, you need to find the nearest enemy camp (they should be visible on the map) and clear a path for your tribute cart. Warning: Escorting the cart is crucial. If it gets destroyed, you lose 10,000 resources, which is a huge setback. Your job is to distract the Haradrims so they don't destroy the cart.
6
If your tribute cart successfully reaches the enemy camp, that camp and all its units will surrender to you. This effectively doubles your army size each time you bribe a camp.
7
After securing the first camp, focus on expanding your economy. Build more resource-gathering buildings on any vacant spots you find on the map. This is important because the other two camps have Mumakils, and Mumakil rushes can be devastating unless you have specific counters like Orc Fire Archers.
8
Use the same tactic to escort your tribute cart to the second camp. Be extra careful of Mumakil attacks during this phase.
9
Once you've brought the second camp under your control, you can choose to either bribe or destroy the last remaining Haradrim camp. Remember, you can build the tribute cart from any citadel you control, so build it from the one closest to your target camp for efficiency.
10
Bribe or destroy all Haradrim forces, and you'll complete the mission!

Tips

Mordor units are specialized; use them according to their strengths. Don't expect them to be all-rounders.
Orcs are your bread and butter for defense and overwhelming numbers, but they are fragile. Keep producing them!
Escorting the tribute cart is non-negotiable. Protect it at all costs, even if it means drawing enemy fire away from it.
Expanding your economy by building more resource structures is key to affording the expensive tribute carts and reinforcing your army.
Mumakils are powerful but vulnerable to ranged attacks. Keep them protected or use them strategically.
