Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth 2 Trailer
Worthplaying.com has posted new screenshots and a trailer from the upcoming Lord of the Rings real time strategy game Battle for Middle Earth 2. Among the additions are three new races including Elves, Dwarves, and Goblins. It also appears that you will be able to command navel units.
Another feature that sticks out is “Build anywhere.” In the first Battle for Middle Earth RTS you were stuck with building your bases in preset locations. It was a pain in the ass and fealt quite restrictive for experienced games who have been used to building their bases wherever they fealt like.
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.
