#Lord of the rings rise of the witch king mods full#
The maps size, as could be done previously, depends upon your tastes so if you want a full out war for the entire of Middle-earth then you can. If you’ve completed or even decided to skip the campaign then you can jump into the new and improved War of the Ring mode available. Some more balancing from future patches will surely address a few issues here and there. Angmar’s got the stuff, but perhaps they have a little too much as once you get used to how they shape up there’s practically no stopping team Witch-king. Yes the new faction does have an array of fiendish and down right nasty combinations, much like the classic factions. The Black Númenoreans are the corrupted men in the service of the Witch-king and prove to be a nasty bunch, and what army wouldn’t be complete without some wild men of Rhudaur too? Yes they may look cute but can quite easily maul a number of unlucky soldiers in their way. These are weaker but more versatile forms of the lumbering giants, you’ll also gain vicious wolf packs. Trolls abound, you’ll be using these large brutes more often but not as single beasts of destruction. They also serve to heal and replace fallen units within their group. With units such as Thralls, this kind of reactionary tactic can become easy as they can summon lesser units before them to battle foes. With no inherent strengths or weaknesses, Angmar requires tactics otherwise you’ll soon be mush on the ground.Ĭharging head first is never a good idea, its best to observe your enemy and make alterations. For those thinking you’ll be crushing goodies in no time think again, and quickly. The new Angmar faction is a powerful and versatile force to be reckoned with and should never be under utilised. The role of heroes and powers are still very much an important and integral part of the gameplay.
Angmar is the newest kid on the block, a Northern and therefore icy realm which gives a nice change of scenery from the usual scorched or forest settings. Of course the noticeable change will be the new units and their woven art style which fits really well reflecting their Mordor heritage they don’t feel an obvious add-on.Īdding a brand new faction to the game is something the developers should be used to by now, what with the new Goblin and Dwarven sides in the previous title. Graphically there’s no real difference from its predecessor, it’s still impressive to watch a huge clash of units poke and slash themselves silly. Prepare to enjoy a great story this time around perhaps because taking the role of the Witch-king gives ground to the whole affair, in any case I enjoyed building my dark legions of Angmar. Yes the story for either good or bad were just plain boring and lacked any sense of tangible consequence. Having played the first game it was understandably hard for the campaigned experience of Battle for Middle-earth II to have the same grandeur and meaning. The Witch-king will build a mighty army and make preparations for his master’s return and the fall of Middle-earth to the hordes of Mordor. The single player campaign takes place shortly after the defeat of Sauron (the bit where his fingers are cut off) and the hearts of men fail to destroy the One Ring. This expansion sees the terrifying rise of the Witch-king, a direct servant and thrall of Sauron’s appetite for war. The work of evil is never done in the land of Middle-earth, just because domination of the realm has hit a wall doesn’t mean the subordinate lackeys get to use up their vacation days.įor the third time the Battle for Middle-earth franchise visits one of the most recognisable fantasy lands ever created.
