It also features a very nice Create a Hero system, which will let you choose the model, abilitys, items and much more. Check out the forum here.

Battle for Middle Earth
By Bob27
The Battle for Middle Earth will be a singleplayer campaign RPG. You will be a Ranger of the North, who will start of at Rivendel, after fending of an attack on rivendel in the second mission you will begin to travel south, towards some of the battles that happen latter in the movie such as Helms Deep and Minas Tirith. Although based around the original Lord of the Rings story this campaign will feature many new heros. Although you will only be able to control one hero you will have a list of commands in some missions, that will let you control an army, such as retreat, advance and so on. Although your character will be a Ranger from the North for the first mission you will be an Elf in the Last Alliance. This mission will be a tutorial to many of the new features avaliable in The Battle for Middle Earth. Here are some of the things that will happen during the game: You will be able to use fire in alot of ways, such as lighting a certain area on fire (like a trench) to give your side a tartical advantage.

Fire will cause many different things, such as the camera may get foggy and so on from the smoke and you won't be able to see very well.

You may be able to use fire again your opponent, but it is very difficult to know when they are going to use it against you. Especialy with the Minas Tirith level you never know when a bit of falling debrie might squash your character or a boulder might be hurled over the walls onto you.

This is just a few of the features that will be avaliable. The Forum can be found here.
