So the catapult can have a mordor troll upgrade, and yes for 10 pts less. It can help the catapult fire 2 shots instead of 1.

1st book printed out: The siege of minus tirith book came out first. Says Troll is 90pts.

2nd Book printed out: The rule book, (mini, or the small one) It says troll is 100 pts not 90pts

3rd Book pritned out: Legions and Morador, both say 90 Pts for the troll upgrade.


Since 2 books printed out after the (mini rule book) is it safe to say the troll is 90 Pts for the upgrade?

I had a game tester tell me yes its 90 but wanted to see what you all though.

The last book say's 90pts. so its 90pts.

Wait but doesn't the troll have the same stats as a normal troll? That means that you save 10 points if you buy the troll with the catapult than if you just buy a separate one. Cool.

I don't think he has a hand weapon though.

IIRC, his entry says he has a hand weapon though he hardly needs it, or something to that effect.

The Troll upgrade is a "discount" version, and I have seen people play where he goes off to fight normally while the catapult stays behind. But if you're investing in a catapult anyway it seems like a good idea to keep the Troll there for at least a few turns while forces close to get the bonus. Then, when the enemy is close enough, let him go off with the troops to battle.

Overall, spending the points on a catapult just to get a Troll for 10points less is not really a loop hole or anything. But it is something that's nice to take advantage of if you were already wanting a siege weapon anyway.
