although the troops powers were not very balanced this was ultimately a great game
Moria your characters follow the exact path as in the first movie. It would have been nice if they had thrown a little curveball just to shake things up. All in all the plot/goal was fine as it was. Now to troops...the only real flaw in this game is the balance of the troops. If you are on a good campaign all you have to do is make rangers and fire arrows. Rangers in numbers own buildings with fire and they have superior range to any other ranged unit. They can also take down any kind of monster thrown their way. So far I have not found a way to lose by just making rangers. Of course this unbalanced power makes the evil campaign much harder. Otherwise LOTR battle for middle earth has flawless gameplay, enjoyable battles and a creative map editor.
