------------------| INTRODUCTION - [INT]|------------------------
===================-+-===================-+-=========================
The Corrupted Wild. One of the 3 new factions added to "The Lord
of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II." This is one of the 3
factions on the Forces of Darkness side of the game, and are known to
many (even ingame), as the "Goblins" faction.
This is personally one of my favourite factions, but since there
was already a guide to Mordor, I went along with this. Goblins are the
new Mordor in many senses anyway, they now have the cheapest and weakest
unit of the game, they now have the most "Monster" type units, and they
are some of the best rushers in the game. Both of the games fastest
units (Spiderlings and the Firedrake) belong in this faction. The only
place I find this faction lacks is in heros; they only get three, 2 of
which have an extreme (and unaviodable) weakness. This faction is still
a great one, and is really to easy to start out as, so i'll just get on
with the guide now.
*UPDATE* Well, reading this guide over, I have found that all
it does is glorify the Goblins, when in reality, they have major
weaknesses due to EA inability to make a balanced game. I have made some
changes so that everything no longer seems awesome.

--------------| QUICK-READ CHARTS - [QRC]|--------------------
================-+-========================-+-=====================
These charts are here of the people that want to skip all the crap I
in the more dtailed sections and just see the stats for all their
favourite units. Unfortunatly, this is gonna get crowded (because of
margain limits) and there will be multiple charts. It could be a little
hard to read. I will be trying to do these in the same format as
fsovercash did his for his Battle for Middle-Earth I Unit Stats Guide.

---------------------| HEROS - [HRO]|-------------------------
=======================-+-============-+-===========================
Like I said earlier, probably the worst part of the Goblins. They get
only 3 heros, and 2 of them weren't even in the books/movies. EA Games
used its own imagination to think up the new Goblin-King Gorkil, and the
Dragon Lord Drogoth. I guess they did an okay job, but I dont see why
they didn't just use Smaug and Bolg, they revived Boromir. Anywho, the
heros suck, Shelob costs way too much for what she can do, and Drogoth
cant be used unless you can micro-manage him decently.

DESCRIPTION:
Shelob: the giant spider that nested in Cirith Ungol and
attacked Frodo and Sam on their way through to Mordor. She's back for
the second game (she wasn't actually a hero in the first), and now
she's been given powers. Sorta improved now, but her only use is still
a unit/hero killer. Tough Armor helps, but she is still too costly.
An improvement, but a small one. Ohh yea, I have no idea what "Crush
Velocity" is meant to be, but it was increased.

EA's made up heros plays a big role in the Goblin strategy. Gorkil might
just be the only hero thats worth getting in the Goblins. He has nice
Leadership and overall no major faults. Since he also has Poison Stinger,
it makes Shelob useless. Patch 1.05 really helped him here, 1900 resources
less means he can now be more of an early-game hero, very much improved
here.

DESCRIPTION:
Drogoth is the new Dragon Lord of the Withered Heath. EA made a hell
of an ugly dragon with this guy. Nonetheless, he's the Corrupted Wild's
lategame hero, 6000 health, 5000 cost, and hes... actually not that great.
Since archers dominate this game, Drogoth is almost usless. He'll die
in like 4 seconds to Silverthorne Arrows, you might have a minute
with normal arrows. Patch 1.05 was mixed, better Armor for less Damage,
but it seems to be for the good. Fire Arrows now work against him, but
Normal and Silverthorne have a harder time.

DESCRIPTION:
Well, he's not really a hero. His Experience Chart is the same
as normal units so I haven't given it here. So why is he here? Well he
gets a portrait thingy at the bottom when you purchase him. Anyway, Melee
is just listed there for breviety, his normal attack is actually a smaller
Inferno (thats whats up with all the other stats), and does Fire Damage.
All I can say is this guy is great. However, his total cost is
around 6500, so it would be better to take a Drake lair for yourself. This
guy is a unit killer, since his attack is AoE and is crazy powerful (750!!),
not to mention, this guy destroys buildings easily. Anywho, definalty
a must get for the Corrupted Wild around late midgame.
=======================-+-============-+-============================
----------------------| UNITS - [UNT]|---------------------------
=======================-+-============-+-============================
The units of the Corrupted Wild, very nice here. They have the
fastest (with Mordor) and second fastest Infantry, the fastest Cavalry,
and overall the fastest ground units. Also, late-game is killer (not
nearly the best though) due to amazing Siege Giants and their brutal
pikemen. Best rushing out there.

Description : Ohhh, the Porters, they build everything you have,
so you can't win a game without them.

Description : Overall the best source of resources for the
Corrupted Wild, plus they can take out Ents :)

Abilities : - Poison Blades (6 Poison Damage; 15/30 second Duration)
- Forged Blades (+28 Slash Damage)
- Scavenged Armor (+50% Armor)
- Banner Carrier (+1 RANK; only for Rank 1 units)
Speed : 65
Description : Well they got nerfed even more here. There Poison Blade
Duration is 15 seconds unless you upgrade to Forged
Blades, then it doubles. The -45% damage against buildings
means they've lost some of their rushing potential.
==============
Goblin Archers

- Scavenged Armor(+50% Armor)
- Banner Carrier (+1 RANK; only for Rank 1 units)
- Bombard (Bombards a selected area)
Speed : 45
Description : Patch 1.05 gave them better Crush Revenge and range,
but raised their cost and lowered their speed. These
are almost exactly like Orc Archers now, crappy.
===========
Spiderlings
===========
Class : Cavalry
Buildcost : 300

Abilities : - Venom Sacks (changes Damage type to Poison)
- Banner Carrier (+1 RANK; only for Rank 1 units)
Speed : 120
Description : They're better rushers after Patch 1.05, but they're
base damage is reduced, so they have an even harder
time with units. Again, keep away from pikes.
=============
Spider Riders

Class : Cavalry

- Venom Sacks (changes Damage type to Poison)
- Banner Carrier (+1 RANK; only for Rank 1 units)
Speed : 83
Dodge : 40%
Description : AHHH, the Wild's best unit, nerfed. How sad, Patch 1.05
clearly didn't like the Goblins very much. They're still
usable, but they have a much harder time now. :(
====================
Half-Troll Marauders
====================
Class : Pikemen
Buildcost : 450
Built From : Fissure - RANK 2
Build Time : 30

Abilities : - Porcupine Formation (switches Formation)
- Forged Blades (+100 Damage)
- Scavenged Armor (+20% Armor)
- Banner Carrier (+1 RANK; only for Rank 1 units)
Speed : 63
Description : OMG, you need a Rank 2 Fissure for these now , plus
they've been nerfed. EA clearly doesn't want The Wild
to be used much, as they were underpowered before.
Still, they remain great pikemen, but now are doubtably
not the best anymore.

Cave Trolls
===========
Class : Monster / Siege
Buildcost : 500

Abilities : - Throw Rocks (250 Damage, 120 Radius)
- Find a Tree (-80 Damage, Area of Effect Damage)
- Find a Goblin (Self-Heal, disabled when using AoE)
Speed : 55
Description : Rank 1 Fissure now, better Siege, these things take
out walls pretty well thanks to that Splash Radius.
Ohh, and they can heal on Rank 2, so you can get trees
again, much better now. Still not as great as in the
first game though.
===============
Mountain Giants
===============
Class : Monster / Siege
Buildcost : 1300
Built From : Fissure - RANK 3

Ranged Attack Speed : 7.200
Range : 500
Abilities : - Stomp (1000 Damage, 50 Radius)
- Close Range Attacks (600 Damage, 70 Radius)
Speed : 55
Description : Ahhh, better, but still too expensive. He's harder
too kill, but for 1300 just isn't worth it. If you
manage to survive until extreme late-game where
you have more Resources that you know what to do
with, go for it.

Abilities : - Forged Blades (+50% Damage)
- Banner Carrier (+1 RANK; only for Rank 1 units)
- Firebombs (switches to ranged explosives)
- Bombard (Bombards a selected area)
Speed : 70
Description : Meh, they're cheap if you can catch youself an
Inn, and they're explosives utterly destroy
buildings. Plus they're fast, but they don't
have enough health to stand up to Cavalry, and
no Heavy Armor means bad late-game.

========================-+-=================-+-===========================
A very milked section. There is hardly anything original here, and
everything is basic. They have some nice Fortress Expansions though, and
they have overall the coolest looks in the game (even though everything
looks the same).
