Властелин колец: Битва за Средиземье (игра)

The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth is a real-time strategy game with an unusual approach to construction. Buildings cannot be erected anywhere. Campaigns begin with small units and gradually progress to large battles. Resources are provided by farms and buildings near the fortress. You can only build next to the main tower, which changes the usual tactics. Buildings are placed on designated areas inside citadels, which are called camps, outposts and villages. The main tower houses barracks and forges, and along the perimeter there are towers and secret exits. Battalions are recruited from the barracks, and their commanders give bonuses to the units. Units can be supplemented or strengthened with improvements. Unit upgrades are purchased using resources and take time. It will not be possible to repair the fortifications during the battle, so they are prepared in advance. Armies are assembled from units, and heroes like Aragorn, Gandalf and Saruman decide the course of the battle with their skills. Siege weapons break down gates, but require protection themselves. Walls and gates have to be stormed in several passes. Secret exits allow you to bypass the besiegers. Campaigns take place for both light and darkness, and sieges require the correct order of assault. The music and voices are taken from the film trilogy, which adds recognition. Heroes are healed between battles and gain new skills. Heroes' skills are restored over time. Heroes gain levels and their skills become stronger. Anyone who grew up watching this trilogy will find this war suitable. Battles for fortresses are going on with varying degrees of success and require reserves. In online matches, players fight each other directly. Campaigns for darkness follow their own branch of events.
