The epilogue tells of his defeat at the hands of the allied forces of Gondor and the Elves. You follow the Witch King’s path from arriving in Arnor with only his right-hand man Morgomir, to his final conquest of Arnor. The northern lands have been reduced to a group of provinces fighting over petty squabbles, and a powerful new sorcerer, known only as the Witch King, has come to take advantage of that. The RotWK campaign is set about 1000 years before the War of the Ring, during the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Arnor. Yes, and it has nothing to do with the BFME2 campaigns, except that it also takes place in the North. The elite cavalry of Angmar is the Snow Troll, a fast and tough unit trained in groups of six, and the elite pikeman is the Hill Troll. Angmar Trolls serve very different purposes than those of Mordor. At Level 3, the Dark Ranger can be trained, which is much like an Ithilien Ranger (They even have a long-shot ability). At a Level 2 Barracks, the Black Numenorean is available, a moderately priced, strong swordsman. Just be careful, if the Thrall Master dies then the rest of the horde dies as well. They are trained one at a time, and aren’t very good by themselves, but for little or no resources they can summon a horde of weak units. This is perhaps the most interesting unit in the game. At a Level 1 Barracks (Called Hall of the King’s Men), the Thrall Master can be trained. They have around two sets of each unit types, cheap and weak, and expensive and strong. What about this new faction, Angmar?Īngmar is a very unique faction to say the least. Half-Troll Swordsman require Level 2, and the Fire Drake Brood requires Level 3. For the Goblins, only the Fissure has been revised. The Orc pit now must be upgraded to Level 3 to research Banner Carriers, and requires Level 2 to train the new Black Orcs. Catapults and weapon upgrades require Level 2, and armor upgrades require Level 3. The Great Siege Works is where you research unit upgrades now.

The Haradrim Palace now must be upgraded to Level 3 to train Haradrim Archers and research Fire Arrows, and requires a Level 2 to train Haradrim Lancers. Mordor’s buildings have been modified the most. There is also a new building, the Clan Steading, where Wild Men of Dunland are trained. The Ballista now only requires a Level 2, and the Explosive Mine now requires a Level 3. For Isengard, the Siege Works has been modified slightly.

The Men of the West’s Barracks is now 400 resources instead of 300, and the Tower Guard is stronger, costs 450 resources, and requires a Level 2 Barracks. The Goblins get the Half-Troll Swordsman, much like the Half-Troll Marauders.

Mordor can now create Black Orcs, which are much like Orc Warriors but can receive upgrades, and the Haradrim Lancer, which makes up for Mordor’s lack of good cavalry. Isengard gets the Wildmen Axethrowers, weak but cheap archers, and the Warg Pack, a large group of wolves. The Elves get the Lindon Cavalry Archer, a fast archer trainable at a Level 2 Green Pasture. Men of the West get the Rohan Spearman, a good cheap anti-cavalry unit. The Goblins get Azog of Moria, and Mordor gets Gothmog. The Dwarves get Prince Brand, Captain of Dale, who is somewhat like Faramir. Also, three new heroes have been added to the game. The hero-like unit for Men is the Knights of Dol Amroth, for Goblins the Fire Drake Brood, for Mordor the Black Rider (Only one can be in play at a time), for Elves the Noldor Warriors, For Isengard the Uruk Deathbringers, and for Dwarves the Zealots. Also, each faction has a new hero-like unit, powerful against all regular units, and only three can come into play at one time. OK, so what are these new units?Įach faction has at least two new units or heroes. They were meant to be played with vanilla BFME2, and wouldn’t work as well with RotWK due to new units and mechanics.
