BFME...How much of LOTR will be in it?

I'm just wondering how much of LOTR will be in BFME. Only Return of The king?

All that's in the movies, and a little more. The entire first alliance battle, where Sauron loses his corporeal form is there, and there will be numerous other little scirmishes leading into the major battles, in total there's supposed to be 50 missions, probably split 25-25 light and dark.

Yep, if it's in the books and the movies it should be in this. Aparently it's been said that every major battle is definately in this game. Plus anything to do leading up to them or even getting to those battles will obviously have a few Skirmishes along the way.

 

Obviously there are plenty of missions which have their base building parts to play... some of these will be tied into the storyline, others wil be added on as sub-plots which link in some way to the storyline.

 

There will also be mission like covert operations in which you just control heroes and a few select troops.. these will be linked the joruney Frodo takes to destroy the ring.

 

The good factions final few missions are likely to centre around the huge final battle and Frodo's last ditch attempts to get to the top of death mountain before Sauron's eye of evil destroys all hope of victory. Whether or not these 2 can be played simultanously using the large living map of middle earth instead of 2 seperate missions remains to be seen.

 

But in a way I hope that taking on those 2 most vitally important parts of the story in simultaneous fashion.. or even the choice to choose one or the other while showing some sort of real time update on the other (alternate) mission. It needs to be done somehow in my eyes as this is afterall the climax of the whole trilogy. How it's portrayed in the book of the Return of the king is so much better, and much more ripping however. It was an excellent interpretation in the film, I just hope EA manage to convert the happenings into this RTS PC game.

EVERYTHING is in this, in a interview marck scaggs said himself, not only the battles are in this game, but everything else aside as well have been added, but for multiplayer, its rohan, gondor, mordor, and isengard but the game is well made, and a must buy
