The game was split into a Good and Evil campaign, focusing on the war in the North that occurred during the more notable battles in the War of the Ring. Each character also has strengths and weaknesses, emphasizing a more tactical approach to any given encounter.įondly remembered as the best Lord of the Rings RTS title ever made, Battle for Middle-earth II took the ideas and systems of the first game and perfected them. The game uses a combination of base building and combat to take advantage of the series more widespread appeal, like the scale of the battles. This also means that generic orcs can find themselves promoted to a leadership role if they are lucky enough to land the killing blow. If the orc kills the player or survives an encounter, the game will promote captains accordingly. The game was also particularly of note for its proprietary Nemesis system, which records interactions between Talion and orc captains or Uruks. The game takes place throughout Mordor and brings into play a number of the more well-known characters from the series. After he and his family are killed by orcs, he is revived as a wraith by Celebrimbor, the creator of the Rings of Power. Set in the 60-year gap between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the player takes on the role of Talion, a ranger who patrols near the Black Gate. When Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor came out in 2014, it blew fans away with its mixture of fluid combat, unique abilities and tactical use of characters from Tolkien's Legendarium.
