In The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-Earth II, you now have the chance to experience all that Middle-Earth was meant to be.
With all new content from J.R.R. Tolkien's original fiction, delve deeper
than ever before and engage in new battles that go beyond the award-winning
movie trilogy. Wage war in the North and assume command of the most storied
civilizations in all of Middle-Earth history--the Elven and Dwarven armies--or
fight on the side of evil with heroes and creatures that have never been seen in
The Lord of the Rings films. Defend or overtake never-before-seen lands such as
Dol Guldur, The Misty Mountains, and Mirkwood as you unleash powerful new
weapons and abilities--summon dragons, cause volcanoes to erupt, or bring down a
cataclysmic lightning strike.
But beware, with greater power comes greater adversity. Your enemies,
commanded by a powerful new A.I. system, possess a greater tactical edge and
more powerful spells. Will your armies have the fortitude to persevere?
