The Battle for Middle-earth (tm) II MECHANICS

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Lord of the Rings - The Battle for Middle-earth (tm) II MECHANICS

An attempt to reproduce a bunch of mechanics from EA's Lord of the Rings - The Battle for Middle-earth (tm) II. You are free to use any of the mechanics, for the models you should give credits to their respective creators.

I decided to put this online as a source for those in search for lord of the rings mechanics, spells and so on. Reason is that I gave up on developing a map from it for good.

Sincerely,
stonebludgeon

(Needs update) The map download works now, but the triggers must be within the main post, or within a post as a reply to the spell (or a pastebin link).
