If someone could please help me out with a troll problem that would be nice.
I usually play as the elves but whenever I play against Mordor, they rush about ten to fifteen attack trolls over to my base, decimate my archers, horsemen, sentries, and ents, and tear down my fort in a matter of minutes.
I have tried everything from Legolas' Hawk strike thing, as well as any super powerful Hero ability, but there are just too many trolls.
The only thing that has ever worked was rushing their base and destroying the troll cage before they trained any trolls, but that solution is only temporary. Not to mention the fact that they usually have more than one troll cage.
ANY IDEAS? I find it hard to believe that there is nothing up the elves' sleeves to fix this.
Thanks.

Like Jaeger and Rammstein suggested, Mithlond Sentries in Defensive + Archers in Aggressive (silverthorns if possible) is the best way to go. If your opponent tries to go straight to your units instead of your buildings, try "dodging" the trolls to make them run around while you shoot them with arrows on the back (flanking increases damage).
Aesperus: CaHs aren't allowed on competitive play, and walls are almost never used :P

If you give your enemy time to build 10-15 trolls you can surely make some ents to stop them back em up with some mirkwood archers or lorien archers and your safe.

trolls are weak to arrows... and even more tomagic n(silverthrons),so yeh...
anymordor who get AT vs ekves is crazy tbh... you just played awfully, only explanation,i agree with nenya: how the hell did you let him just et 15 of them....
and what si all this nonsense about ents? entsa are not the counter to AT ....
they are siege...
anyways i prefer even as siege upped lancer/LW to ents tbh....
they kinda lots of command piints + expansive....
