Heavy beads of sweat roll down your face. You rest for a moment, weak and tired. Suddenly, a haunting silence surrounds you. The wind has stopped. The trees are still and lifeless. Clouds pass over the setting sun, bathing you in darkness. A low rumble shakes the ground beneath you. Afraid, you stumble to your feet. The horizon is overcome with the looming blackness of a stampeding army and you're right in their path. The Witch-King's army has begun their attack and once again the fate of Middle-earth is in the hands of man. In this expansion to the hit game The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II, every feature has been taken to the next level, from an all-new single-player campaign to new units for each of the game's six factions. Witness a story unfold that was only hinted upon in the books and untouched in the movies. It is the story of the Witch-King's rise to power and Angmar's invasion of the kingdom of Arnor. Scout the enemy, make critical decisions, summon allies and take on an impending evil. The Create-A-Hero cost system lets you design your character from head to toe with all the special characteristics in between. You'll need every advantage you can get against this terrifying threat as you fight for better times in this powerful expansion.
