Those are particularly important at the beginning of the game when you’re trying to build up your armies but know that you’ll soon get attacked and want to lose as little of your units as possible. Breaking it down to core strategies: when using the light armies you should focus on making basic units and protecting them to buy you time as you save up to develop a stronger army with the forces of darkness you want to take advantage of the huge units diversity they have and quickly build up your numbers.Ī common and important strategy for the light factions are the healing and power boosting buildings. Much like in the books, Battle for Middle-Earth 2 is divided in two factions: the ‘light’ side, composed of the armies of men, elves and dwarves and the ‘dark’ side, made of Isengard, Mordor and goblins. Some of the strategies are quite similar and there’s no point in repeating ourselves. Before going into each different faction and discussing them specifically, let’s go over a little bit about the general structure that each alignment has. There is a distinct strategy to be used depending on your choices and they can greatly affect how your campaign goes.Īlso, the way the armies, the characters, and maps have been depicted in Battle for Middle-Earth 2 will definitely make Tolkien fans feel nostalgic and excited to play more. In this game, the planning starts before the match even begins with choosing a few different things: the map the position you’ll place your fortress and which faction you’re playing as. In a game featuring six different armies, over 40 maps with up to eight players, all of that is possible.Īside from the book and film references the game gives Lord of the Rings fans, it also allows strategy gamers to put their skills to the test. I mean, who has never thought about being the commander of the human armies, leading them to take over Dul Guldur from the orcs (or, as the most likely scenario, lose badly against them – that fortress is a nightmare to play against)? Maybe even control the Uruk-hai and swarm over Gondor, facing and destroying elves, humans and dwarves alike? Made and released by EA Games in February, 2006, Lord of the Rings: Battle For Middle-Earth II is the perfect game for those in love with the books or the films based on Tolkien’s literary work.
