+============================================================================+
I've had the pleasure of playing this game for about 1 week now. Im certainly
getting into it now, the controls are nice and simple to use, the battles can
be utterly fantastic and best of all its lord of the rings :p. using your
heroes and powers to help you win battles. i've managed to complete the whole
of the good campaign and the whole of the evil campaign with all sub
objectives. The game has its easy and its hard levels but its truly a
brilliant RTS game.
This Guide will contain:
- Achievements
- Full level walkthroughs
+============================================================================+
| [ht*] | = Hints & Tips = |
+============================================================================+
- Before you go into the fight make sure you have a good camp set up. A good
defence and fortress ensure that when an army is defeated your camp can defend
itself and rebuild an army.
- Try to get the most out of your rescources, capture inns and taverns, build
lots of rescource making buildings as it will certainly come in handy later
incase the opposing team kills your whole army.
- Research battalion upgrades straight away to give your men a better
advantage against the enemy.
- always play the game defensively before you advance make sure you have
enough men gaurding the base and an equal amount attacking the opposition.
- always save hero points until you unlock flood, earthquake, solar flare
(good) dragon strike, summon dragon, rain of fire, summon balrog (evil)
- diffirent units have diffirent capabilities use diffirent units to there
advantages.
- use all your powers you have to your advantage, arrow volley is good against
units of men wheras rain of fire is good against structures.
- always build up as you move along, tunnels will get you around faster and
defence towers will stop any enimies from attacking your main base
- Heroes have special abilities to select your hero and press the right
trigger to acccess ther there powers.

On to the walkthrough, there are 8 battles in total, alowing you to play as
dwarves and elves. From the levels celduin onwards your going to have to use
more of your powers and more units as the battles aint gonna be easy. although
the good campaign isn't a hard campaign but it will take a lot of time. powers
will be of great use, especially to take out strong isengard and mordor
structures when you are low on rescources and men. so here we go battles
through 1 & 8

(__(__/( / ( | Good Campaign |
__ ___ ___ | Rivendell |
/ _)(_ /|/|(_ // | [gw1] |
/(_) / / |/__ (( +================================================+
You will start the battle with a battalion of elves and the hero glorfindell.
start to follow the path through the woods and kill all the goblins you see on
your way. once you reach the large bridge to rivendell help your fellow allies
in killing all the goblins. After they are all dead take glorfindell and your
troops to the gate of rivendell. Make your way through and meet elrond and
other heroes. you now have access to elven barracks, start to make some
archers and swordsmen to defend rivendell. Get ready as there will be an
attack on rivendell, including a few goblin soldiers aswell as a mountain
giant. there are not too many so they should be killed quite easily. After
this arwen and some lancers will come from the path you were fighting on. Head
back through the rivendell gate and back near the beggining of the level
following the same path.
You are now going to have to destroy a goblin camp. There are a lot of goblin
lumber mills and caves scattered around all near to the path. They should be
no problem as you will have a lot of units at your command, and you may have
taken some heroes. Once all the buildings have been destroyed a giant wyrm
will appear. Now is the time to back out your troops and use the giant eagles
to kill it, you could possibly attempt using all your troops to kill it as you
will not be using them again.
If you completed all sub objectives and bought your first power you will have
unlocked these:

(__(__/( / ( | Good Campaign |
__ ___ ___ | High Pass |
/ _)(_ /|/|(_ // | [gw2] |
/(_) / / |/__ (( +================================================+
First off you are going to have to build a fortress, build yourself some
barracks and enough malorn trees so you have a nice steady flow of supplies.
Build yourself a nice army including rangers and swordsmen, and possibly some
cavelry. after you think your army is big enough take them north out of your
base. Follow the path killing the goblins on your way until you reach an ice
block, kill the giant and head back the way you came until you find a separate
route. Kill all the enemy units as you follow the path, you will soon see that
haldir is in trouble. send your units to aid him. Once the enemy are dead you
will have haldir under your control.
Now you have to take your units to destroy the enemy base. which really isn't
that big. Dont worry if you have low troops, you should have plenty of
rescources backed up. Take all your troops and haldir to the goblin base.
When your there you will see some sentry towers and goblin caves. Destroy them
all. Whilst moving up you will see more structures, start to attack them
aswell. Last time i played this level i was attacked by a watcher, but the
second time i didn't. So be weary. Once the Last Building is destroyed you
will win the battle.

/ / )/ /__) +================================================+
(__(__/( / ( | Good Campaign |
__ ___ ___ | Ettenmoors |
/ _)(_ /|/|(_ // | [gw3] |
/(_) / / |/__ (( +================================================+
you will be playing as haldir and glorfindell and a small battalion of elves,
first off you have got too go help some elves near the waterside. Once all
enimies are dead, capture the tavern and take all troops to the giant drum
upon the hillside. You have got to destroy the drum quickly or be prepared for
2 mountain giants. Upon this hill is where is where i set up camp. build
barracks, green pasture, and some defence towers all whilst keeping your
builders safe. build a slightly large army and take them up the trail that
is/was on fire. Near the top is an ent moot usually under attack by
spiderlings. Kill the spiderlings and reclaim the ent moot. Ents are very good
at taking down structures so it is your choice upon building them. The Goblin
kings fortress is very near to the ent moot so take your troops to the giant
wall that surrounds it. The wall shall be destroyed very quickly with an ent.
Now that you are in the fortress, desroy the most important structures first
such as the goblin caves, fissures and spider lairs. this will play quite well
if your troops should die. Destroy other building surrounding the fortress
then attack the fortress itself. Once the fortress is destroyed. Battle won!

/ / )/ /__) +================================================+
(__(__/( / ( | Good Campaign |
__ ___ ___ | Blue Mountains |
/ _)(_ /|/|(_ // | [gw4] |
/(_) / / |/__ (( +================================================+
Start to move all your units into the cave destroying spider lairs as you go
along. when you reach the exit use your builders to build a fortress, forge
works, hall of warriors, archery range and a lot of defence towers as the
spider riders are very powerful. Once a fairly large army is built move out of
the caves into the open area. Theres a signal fire and a small goblin camp
take your men destroy the camp and take the signal fire (which will decrease
the time it takes for your powers to regenertate). You will have come to a
large gate, use demolishers and your army to destroy it.
Now that your in the caves you should use builders to make some tunnels
allowing you to get there faster.
A sub objective is to destroy the fire drake lairs.Fire drakes are strong and
it would be wise to use your men to destroy the as they could become quite a
pain later.
Once you think you are ready take your units depper into the cave. The dragon
is in quite a large room (even though you will sometimes see him fly over.)
Destroy the two gates blocking your way. Now the esiest thing to do before
attacking the dragon is taking out both spider lairs. a battalion or spider
riders can take out 3 battalions of axe throwers easily.
When your ready use axe throwers against the dragon. The dragon is quite hard
and you may need a lot of axe throwers. As long as you have a tunnel placed
near to the dragon (Note too near!) you can keep troops attacking the dragon
before it regains health. Once the dragon is dead, congratulations you won!

/ / )/ /__) +================================================+
(__(__/( / ( | Good Campaign |
__ ___ ___ | Grey Havens |
/ _)(_ /|/|(_ // | [gw5] |
/(_) / / |/__ (( +================================================+
take your units into the city and defend the fortress and shiprights. capture
the shiprights and make 3 - 5 elven battle ships. It would be wise to fully
upgrade them.
Build up some defence, and have some troops on standby waiting at the docks.
Build plenty of defence towers, some barracks, and protect them well.
Some waves of ships are coming to attack your base. Once your ships are ready
sail them out and destroy them. The black ships should be no match for you and
with the new upgrades they will over time regenarte there health so before the
next wave they should be ready. i beat all of the waves with just 3 ships.
Thats how easy it can be when there fully upgraded.
Build some storm ships and elven transports and sail to there base. the
transports are easily damaged so unload your men quickly before they are
destroyed by the enemy. The battle at there base is noithing more than a few
battalions of men. Take the shiprights as fast as you can because they will
still create new enemy ships.
Once the shiprights are taken build up a Large army (at your origianl base)
and move them to the west side of your city, near the path where your barracks
are.
Also build a few more ships to aid the war at sea. Build storm ships if
necessary (they will take out your units if your not careful)
All the enimies fleet will attack from the south. They have black ships,
transports and some bombardment ships. The more transports that make it to the
beach the more men you will have to face on land. So try to take the
transports out first. Once transports reach land (atleast a few will) the
dwarves will turn up. They will be quite useful.
There are 3 waves altogether and they arent that hard. 5 elven battle ships
will easily get rid of most transports. bombardent ships will be a pain in
the ass when your in a battle and not moving much.
After the waves are defeated you will be victorious.

(__(__/( / ( | Good Campaign |

/ _)(_ /|/|(_ // | [gw6] |
/(_) / / |/__ (( +================================================+
Your objective now is to move all the dwarves through the docks of celduin.Try
to take all inns and taverns on the way there. there will be quite a lot of
units on your way there and occasionaly a fellbeast. when you reach the last
part of the docks, take the shiprights and recruit more men from your
barracks.
build more gaurdians than axe throwers but still have about 3 battalions of
axe throwers. remember leave some battalions back near your base just to
protect it, crossing the shallows isn't easy. research the best upgrades,
including seige hammers. More the reason to have more gaurdians. Once you
think your ready start to move your units out into the shallows.
This isn't going to be easy. the most annoying thing out here will be the
catapults.concentrate your men on them. this should make your fights a lot
easier. If your units are killed quickly make a new army before your
attackers reach your base. eventually a wyrm will appear this will be a pain
aswell. once the shallows are clear of enemies retreat back to your base.
Start to recruit more men and upgrade them with seige hammers. make some
destroyers and rangers, along with plenty of gaurdians. make your way across
the shallows to the enemy fortress. before you attack the fortress attack the
catapult extensions. then attack the fortress itself. it would be wise to
destroy buildings aswell as other attackers.
Its almost impossible to stop your forces from dying but its ok. make a new
army, upgrade, and send them back the fortress and other buildings should be
no problem as they should be weak from your previous attack.
Once the fortress falls you will be victorious.

/ / )/ /__) +================================================+
(__(__/( / ( | Good Campaign |
__ ___ ___ | Erebor |
/ _)(_ /|/|(_ // | [gw7] |
/(_) / / |/__ (( +================================================+
Erebor is one of my faviorate levels, but in my opinion also one of the
hardest. you will be given 15 minutes to build up the defences for erebor.
the thing to remember here is there are multiple entrances to erebors castle
of dale. so your dwarves and defences are critical to succeding.
steps to building up defence:
1) build a fortress within the castle and recruit plenty of builders
2) build up defense towers around the throne of erebor and upgrade them with
forged blades
3) Purchase upgrades and build a wall around the throne of erebor room.
4) Buy enough units fully upgraded and some catapults.
5) station diffirent units to diffirent entrances
6) wall off your Barracks, sige works and archers range but leave a seperate
enterance so men can get out.
7) upgrade the fortress, build catapults and arrow towers, try to fully
upgrade them
8) if low on rescources, build some more mineshafts.
9) start to move catapults and men outside
10) prepare for the first wave.
Make sure your men are just outside the gate.
The first wave is quite big. the first thing that you will see, drawing near
you is a ring wraith. it will reach the gates first, use your men to kill it.
It will be very easy with the amount of men you have. the goblins and other
units will eventually reach you they are no big threat to the amount of men
you have under your command. there are quite a lot of them and if your not
prepared they can easily get into the fortress. Once they are dead a few
trolls around 5 - 10 will start to make there way in through the other
enterances. These arent the attack trolls and arent really that hard, but in
such a large group they pose a threat to walls and buildings so be sure to
take them out as quickly as you can.
On the second wave you will realise more goblins are building a small camp.
there is no reason to destroy this until the end as the waves will have
nothing to do with this fortress. Now would be the best time to replace the
men you lost and keep them stationed outside. this wave will be a lot harder,
including some more goblins and some added mumakil. same again wait until they
reach the gates and just let your men deal with them undoubtedly you will lose
lots of men but there is no way you can stop that. kepp the defence going and
finish off the remaining men there may be some sneaking in through the other
enterances so keep an eye on your mines and other structures.
the third and final wave is the biggest of all waves and has the most attack
power. there are goblin catapults, and about 15! attack trolls. Now start
buying some useful powers. Replace all men you have lost and upgrade them. now
the trolls will attack the front gate along with the catapults. Use your men
and attack the trolls, use your powers if necessary. the trolls are going to
give you a hard time there not ordianary ones they are attack trolls with
bigger weapons and stronger armour. they will take out well over half your
troops if you dont use your powers. the catapults will be a pain aswell. this
is the time when some may get through. as your troops may just all die not
being able to handleall the trolls, if this happens your going to have to rely
on your walls and defense towers. The defense towers should easily finish off
the remeinders, if not your troops. After this first part of the battle more
trolls will come in through the side enterances. this is the part where you
could easily lose, because after the attack at the main gate you wont have a
lot of troops. make sure to make a lot of reinforcements. recruit as many
people as you can. Once the trolls come in use your heroes and soldiers to
deal with them heroes can handle them rather well so use the to your maximum
ability. Once this threat has been dealt with there is one last thing to do.
Gather up your remaining forces and take them to the small camp i talked
about. there will be a large fortress and plenty of buildings. this should be
no problem apart from the flaming catapults use all of your men and take the
fortress to the ground. after this just clear up the surrounding buildings.
Congratulations Victroy!

The final battle and could easily be one of the hardest. Start to build up a
well protected base. build up plenty of battle towers, some malorn trees,
barracks, green pasture, eregons forge. start to research upgrades, and make
plenty of troops. Send them out to the south west to capture the first signal
fire, destroying the spider layers as you go. There will be small bases
protecting the signal fires. Destroy them and capture the flame. Mirkwood
elves, or dwarves will come to your aid. While your waiting head to the
northeast corner of the map. destroying the spider layers again. and take the
signal fire there for more reinforcements.
Now is the time to prepare for the assault on the castle, strengthen up the
defense on your fortress , and wall off your whole base. Get Mirkwood archers,
and the dwarves together and take them to the bridge.
Now would be the best time to spend all of your hero points you wont be
needing them again. get the best possible powers you can. Buy the best
upgrades for your troops so make sure you have researched them.
take your troops all the way into the bese destroy the gates, and use your
archers to get rid of catapults. Be prepared for one hell of a fight this will
be incredibly hard and if your not carefull everone will die. but dont worry
as long as you have your barracks ready. Try to take out the prison first when
up here a balrog will apear. he is easy to kill, with the amount of troops,
there is usually a fellbeast aswell. destroy the castle. Now move behind the
castle, and destroy the prison. now is a good time to use all your powers on
destroying seperate buildings.
Once the building have all been destroyed you win congratulations! thats the
whole of the good campaign complete

heroes and kill the elves. build some units. Some goblin archers and some
goblin swordsmen. Move them across the river and kill the battalion of elves.
Now destroy the tree houses. Move around killing all the battalions of elves.
Then free the mountain giants scattered around. now your objective is to
destroy the Lorién fortress. which is protected quite hevily and there are
heroes aswell. Dont attack the fortress kill the heroes first and then the

Starting off head straight in front of you and capture both of the shiprights.
Start Building some black ships and upgrade them with fire arrows and pirate
flags. build 6 of these and defend the shiprights against the escaping elves.
They are quite easy to see when your there so just scatter your fleet out and
target individual ships. Now build a bombardment ship and destroy the gaurd
towers on the beach. Now call all of you ships back to the shiprights and
build transports, take your men over to the beach and fight to take the beach.
The fight really isn't that hard although there are a lot of elves.
Once on the beach a mordor fortress, goblin cave, treasure trove, and other
buildings will be conscructed. Replace all the troops you have lost and take
them up to the grey havens to destroy the 2 fortresses there. these are no
problem at all with little defence. once both are destroyed, take the fight
back to the water. Build some more bombardment ships and take your already in
use black ships to the Grey havens docks. there are a lot of ships, so use
bombardment ships on the fortress whilst your black ships are dealing with the
enemy ships.
Once the fortress has fallen you will be victorious!

order your units to move through the shire destroying all houses and units as
they go. Keep on moving until you reach the eastfarthing. Start to build up a
rather large base with plenty of defense towers near the bridge to the green
dragon inn, you'll soon see why in a minute. Now your going to come under
constant seige by the dunedain you have 2 options
1) wait at you base and constantly keep on killing them
2) build up a good defense and let them walk into there own death
Either way when there all dead they wont be bother=ing you again.
Construct a large army but keep half at your base. With the other half move
them out and kill the 4 seats of power. they are scattered all around the
shire with no defence whatsoever. Destroy them one by one.
Now you have a big problem isengard and wormtongue want to take the shire for
themselves, bring gorkil back to you base, with the troops already there
defend against the isengard units. by this time isengard will have a fortress
set up and wormtongue will have a lot of men surrounding him. Once gorkil
returns, attack with all your units and destroy all his buildings. then kill
wormtongue himself who is quite week so he stands no chance.
Once wormtongue has fallen you will be Victorious.

You now have to assault the dwarven fortress of Fornost. Start to build a
fortress and upgrade it, build some goblin tunnels, and a treasure trove. Now
buy upgrades. Build a fissure and some tunnels. Start to upgrade the fissure
until you have some mountain trolls.
Now move some mountain trolls and start attacking the main gate. when it is
destroyed send in some goblin archers along with your mountain trolls, start
destroying all the enemies buildings in the first half of fornost get rid of
all the barracks and dunedain archers. There is quite a high defennce in
fornost so you may need more than one assault on the first half.
Now build a spider layer and recruit 5 spider rider battalions have some more
mountin giants ready and prepare for the second assault. try to upgrade all of
your possible units.
now once you start moving your units in there is a second gate to destroy use
the mountain giants and make your way in. You now have to destroy the fortress
and earths hammer. make your way up the right hand path and try to kill most
of the enemies, and there halls of warriors. now use the mountain giants to
attack the earths hammer before it launches. Once it is destroyed head back
down the ramp and attack the fortress, if your men are low in numbers get an
army of mountain giants and take them back to the fortress.
Once the fortress is destroyed you will be Victorious!

I found this level very annoying and hard especially at the point where you
come to the old forest road. Build up your base, plenty of tunnels and goblin
caves. now construct a small army and take them across the river with a
builder and your heroes to the ent base. The ents are very powerful, so be
carful your builder doesn't get killed. There are plenty of ents so keep on
killing them until you reach the ent moors. Once all ents are dead move on to
the spiderlings when shelob is with you the spiderlings will be under your
control.
Around here is the time to build a new base, build a spider pit, troll cage,
goblin cave, and a treasure trove, build plenty of trols, and half-troll
marauders, and before you start building defense towers head straight north of
the old forest road, and destroy the elven base, this will stop all the
builders and most units, take your builders and build on only 3 of the spots,
but do not attempt the one farthest east. once you think you are ready build
up a new army.
make sure it has plenty of trolls, now attack the base on the hill there are
loads of men and cavelry. attack the buildings first they should easily be
destroyed on your first attack. then on your next attack finish off the
soldiers surrounding the battle tower, when its all clear bring in your
builder and finish off by building another defence tower.
Once all towers are built its Victory!

this is the easiest level in the evil campaign. start building a nice big
base, with plenty of defence towers, as my whole base has been destroyed
before secretly without me knowing. build a troll cage and get some extremely
useful attack trolls.
Once you have an adequate army go to the nearest dwarven encampment and
rescue the fire drakes. this is so easy to do the dwarves are no match for
your attack trolls. once the first set are rescued you wint need any more
units for as long as you play this level.
start to go to the other strongholds where they are being kept. non of them are
any trouble and the fire drakes can take out multiple battalions with ease.
Once all fire Drakes are rescued, move into the little path towards the dragon
with all your units and just let the fire drakes take down units in literally
seconds.
Once you reach the dragon you are Victorious!

Back in good ol' erebor. start destroying as many building possible and wait
for reinforcements to come with builders. start to set up camp, but do not do
this in the south west corner as gloin and his dwarven army will come from
there later. Once a camp has been set up start to purchase upgrades and build
tunnels. Now build up some good defence and start working on an army. make
sure they are fully upgraded. attack trolls are a must just as there
incredible powerfullness can take out battalions of men.
Once you think you are ready head your army to the south west and take your
army up the himm near the tavern around here is a seperate enterance once you
go in there are seperate rooms branching off to mine shafts and halls of
warriors make it a priority to kill these. Once finished follow this path
until you come to the throne of erebor. there are some strong units in here
with can take out a whole army if your not careful.
Once all units have been dealt with you dont have to worry about other
buildings because you took what would we call a "secret" enterance so just
concentrate everything on the throne until it is destroyed.
Once the throne is destroyed you will be victorious!

(__(__/( / ( | Evil Campaign |

/ _)(_ /|/|(_ // | [ew8] |
/(_) / / |/__ (( +================================================+
Probably one of the hardest battles in the games. First build up a huge camp
with lots of defense towers, tunnels, lumber mills, spider lairs, treasure
troves, goblin caves, Fissures and not forgetting a fortress with dragons
nest. and over take the tavern on your side. use untamed alliegance on the
warg lairs. and start buying lots of powers such as, Dragon strike.
Now start building lots of spider riders and attack trolls, and when you have
dragons nest start building some fire drakes.
Now the main gate to rivendell will have two fortresses in front of it. you
can use dragon strike to get rid of all its defenses and on the second one
rain of fire. Then use your attack trolls to bash down the gate of rivendell.
then finish off both fortresses before your trolls die.
Now dont use this gate but use the secong bridge near to where you start off.
now use dragon strike again on the fortress then attempt to destroy it with
rain of fire, summon a dragon and destroy both elven barracks and attempt to
destroy some lorien soldiers
once that is completed use arrow volley to finish of some soldiers. now send
attack trolls fire drakes and whatever army you have to destroy the remaning
soldiers. Now concentrate all units on the house of elrond
use whatever powers you have and elronds house is as good as dead.
Congratulations you are Victorious!
