They love bows so much, they lack t1 melee infantry, but their tier 2 and 3 melee troops also pack a punch thanks to their counterattack ability. Even their cavalry carry bows, and their higher tier units often have a specialty vs large units. In fact, they tend to do the invading!Īs Elves, they start with access to Elven units, with a heavy emphasis on ranged combat. This typically means messing with them is incredibly difficult, though if they start annoying everyone then not even they can handle being crushed by their own poor starting position. Position-wise, while it seems they’re likely to be invaded from absolutely every direction, their 5% Commander EXP mixed with loads of grain means they can conscript and field larger, more powerful armies really fast. Lothlorien’s areas are lush with forest tiles and grain tiles, but have very few stone and ore tiles. Just remember though, just because you’re all Good guys doesn’t mean you’re allies: In fact, you’re more likely to fight the Lothlorien Elves early on than any of the Evil factions, due to their positioning. Unfortunately, they are sorely lacking in siege options and need to find Neutral structures, in particular Beorning camps if they want to tear forts down with any decent speed.įighting them in open combat is dangerous, though they have a much more difficult time destroying fortifications. Having access to Numenorians, Rohirrim, Elves and Dwarves, the Good factions have the advantage of having tanky Numenorian and Dwarven troops mixed with good DPS units in Elven Heralds and rather generalist archery units. It’d be pretty weird if you spawn in Rhun’s deserts as a Dwarf, though if Erebor took the local control point, it’s entirely possible. This guide is most applicable early in the season, as joining later on means you might end up in an unexpected starting position thanks to your faction capturing more control points. Lothlorien has to be aggressive to gain the exp and land needed to stave off the eventual death sandwich coming after them, among other things. Mordor is utterly surrounded by mountains making defense very easy. Lindon is forced to fight through Arnor and Angmar just to get anywhere east. For one thing, being a Lothlorien Elf is suffering for both you and the enemies around you, as not only are you likely to be stronger than your foes, you’re also completely surrounded by them! Your positioning on the map determines your whole faction’s (You and other players who picked the same nation as you) goals and how everyone goes about them. If it wasn't for the game's graphics, combat and connection to the Lord of the Rings franchise, I would've given it a failing score.The terrain factions start with is very important, and so is taking note of their neighbors. Its just not a very good game, and I cannot recommend you buy it. It goes from easy, to insanely hard, to easy. Instead of placing visible barriers, you will constantly hit invisible walls when playing. There is no character development (there doesn't need to be, but in this case, it couldn't hurt), barely any unique story, and the coding is sub par. The english characters of the franchise are voiced by American voice actors, which I find to be unacceptable. It started off strong, with great graphics and good combat. But, I was very disappointed with this game. My dad got me any and all the Lord of the Rings video games out there, and let me tell you, I loved all of em. My dad got me any and all the Lord of the Rings video games out there, and let me tell you, I Growing up, I was a huge Lord of the Rings fan. Growing up, I was a huge Lord of the Rings fan. This game will please LOTR fans, but unfortunately it will not make any new LOTR fans. I payed $20 for the game, and I feel like I got what I payed for out of it, but no more. I had no issues with bugs like some of the other guys. I actually found some of the voice acting pretty lame at times, but it was average on the whole, I suppose. The three playable characters have different play styles which can accommodate most players But it's still just a hack&slash. Equipment management is pretty lacking, with a rather unfriendly equipment interface.The game play is a classic hack&slash with little variation. That being said, the story is very linear, and the same should be said about the levels. Accurate and interesting LOTR lore is what kept me wanting to play. This game is great for RPG'ers that love getting into the nitty-gritty when it comes to learning about other characters and lore of the game.
