    Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth 2: The Rise of the Witch-king.

    LOTR based Real Time Strategy game for the PC where you control any of various LOTR factions like Isengard or Mordor and battle it out in real time with armies of Uruk Hai or Elves, Dwarves, Men, etc. Features a campaign where you control the Witch King and lead Angmar to crush the Northern kingdom of Arnor. Came out in 2006 so really old now. Multi-player servers shut down in 2011 but there's a dedicated fan base still playing mostly modded version of the game through third party clients. Nothing like crushing a bunch of puny Elves with a horde of goblins, trolls, wolves, spiders, and fire drakes. Good times

      Plus free build HQs as opposed to the first where you could only build in designated spots. Also custom heroes, which was sick!

      The Battle for Helm's Deep in the first game is the coolest level I've ever played in an RTS

      Real heads know the Edain mod was the definitive way to play BfMEII

      now that I think about it I wonder if they ever released an English version

      E) Holy shit they're still working on it. The mod's been out for almost a decade, the game almost 20 years!

        Edain has really come a long way. I might have to go find my install discs and get into it again
