Played Mount and Blade--The Last Days mod--as an archer of Rohan. (Normal difficulty--taking normal damage instead of the 'default' 1/4th from enemy attacks and 'Good' enemy AI.)
War started, and I was level 11 after countless battles with only a full archer support party (Mirkwood marksmen/veteran archers) and armed with an elven bow & 3 inventory slots of arrows (I am totally vulnerable in melee
), and the first battle was on the field forwarding Minas Tirith. A totally FLAT field.
My enemy was the Khand (Easterlings, as depicted in the book, they are pretty much...looking a TON better in my opinion.)
They had a ton of cavalry skirmishers and I only had the aid of Prince Imarihil. Meaning: A bloody ton of Gonder Swordsmen (non-mounted, generally), so the battle was mostly a cavalry vs archer/swordsman fight.
It was epic, and I had fun de-mounting the Haradrim. With my bow (loving the math and projectile computations here). Battle started at a nice 398 vs 465, with 3 enemy commanders vs me and the Prince.
Ended at 386 on our side--I had no casualties in my party, while the only ones who died were my allies. :/
Dear goodness is Minas Tirith so...wow. I love the detail of the battlefield and the surrounding areas.
Edit: Best shot I made had a difficulty of 13.4. As a headshot. (Unsure if I forgot the exact details given all the sniping done, but it was 11+) \o/
