The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II

Real-time strategy set in Tolkien's Middle-earth, letting you control armies from the northern conflicts not shown in the films. You'll command Elven or Dwarven forces, or play as Evil factions with units and heroes absent from the movies. Battles take place across locations like Dol Guldur, the Misty Mountains, and Mirkwood. New abilities include summoning dragons as devastating battlefield tools. The campaign structure lets you defend or conquer these territories through traditional base-building and army management. If you want RTS gameplay in Middle-earth beyond the familiar southern war, this covers the northern theater with different races and powers.
