I played Witch King in 155 and won so I can tell you what worked for
me.

-- Jack yer tax rate up to as close to 100% as possible.
-- Recruit on every pop center that is larger than a village every turn.
Troops are vital to you so don't miss even a single turns recruiting.
-- Get Rhudaur on your side at all costs, Dunlendings would be nice but
Rhudaur is critical.
-- Go on the offensive as soon as possible. Start taking free pop centers
and concentrate on either Arthedain or Cardolan and attempt to take them
out of the game. If you're in a single player game and you strike hard and
fast, you stand a good shot of at least cripling one of them before the
free in your area get organized.

Things I didn't do but would now.

-- Demand agent support from Mordor.
-- Name a couple emissaries and send them to the Misty mountains. Have them
each place a new camp and sit on it. With your high tax rate you'll be
losing 3 a turn from the loyalty of your pop centers so naming lots of
camps is out. However by staying put and InfYouring every turn you
accomplish 2 things. For one you keep the camps alive and even more
importantly you have two very good dragon recruiting bases. I've had camps
in those mountains that seemed to almost every turn have a dragon come a
visiting.

As long as you stay aggressive and keep taking the fight to them
you'll be doing ok. When you begin having battles on your starting pop
centers it'll be all down hill from there.

Good luck,

Facade
