The campaings are too short ... 8 battles is just not enough ...
Agreed their is the war of the ring, but if that is less you piece of cake, I feel a bit cheated with this game.
Plus certain controls have changed and that is definitely not for the better.
You can't merge battalions anymore, which is a real pity. Some of the attack commands have changed, which is really confusing in the beginning.
Another silly thing is that you cannot place determine the rotation of your castles ...
It's also confusing to have to constantly switch between the different races, certainly with so little campaigns, this makes it really difficult to build experienced groups and really get to know the strength and weaknesses of the different battalions.
