Well, this is my guide, it isn't exactly finished, but it has most of the
stats for most of the game. I wrote this around the time when the game
came out, in the same format as the Unit stats guide for the first BFME
by fsovercash, so it should be easy enough to read. I plan on adding
buildings and finishing off what's left of the stats. Note, that these
stats are from the latest patch (patch 1.6, or was it 1.06 (or atleast
I hope it is, I wrote this a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure it's
post 1.05)).
Most of the information here is taken from the files found in the Battle
for Middle-Earth II (tm) folder. I doubt there are any mistakes there, but
more than likely I will make some, there is a lot of info there, and a few
things I don't even understand, so if anyone sees any errors, can you
please point them out to me, e-mail me at
[email protected].
NOTES:
- Easy AI = 25%
Medium AI = 100%
Hard AI = 120%
Brutal AI = 150%
- When you see x/y, one is Melee Damage, one is Ranged, Melee is always
listed first.

in a cycle.
