Some excellent new units, including Snow Trolls that hammer through enemy ranks like legions of charging cavalry, coupled with an array of imaginative new Heroes provide plenty of variety, while the proactive Al and numerous hotspots on many maps give missions that frenetic edge so sorely missing from the full version. The plot is also worth an honourable mention, admirably charting the Witch-king of Angmar's invasion of Amor. So what's different? Well for starters, the tedious, overly linear and one-dimensional trawls that passed themselves off as battlefields in BFME2 have been replaced by far more challenging skirmishes, which stretch your strategic prowess to far greater lengths than before, if never quite pushing you to your limits. Then again, perhaps it isn't such a shock, given that this add-on is a PC-only title, unlike the console-orientated The Lord of The Rings: The Battle For Middle-Earth II. No, not that there's still enough room to fit a review on this page after the longest title in gaming history, but that this expansion pack is actually better than the original game.

As you attempt to create your kingdom, the epic story continues and it ends with the King of Gondor dropping down to stop you. The epilogue allows the players to place themselves in the footsteps of the good races. The plot of the game is, Angmar’s Witch-King builds a realm out of nothing and gathers an army from the northern people, most of whom are Wolves, Trolls, Orcs, and differing Black Numenoreans to destroy Arnor’sDunedain kingdom.
The Rise of the Witch-King campaign is of the tale that the Witch-King was to undertake between Angmar and Arnor before and during the battle before Sauron returned to Mordor. After the epic battle, which was shown at the beginning of the film, The Ring Fellowship, the expansion is set.

It said I have a newer version of Directx installed, and the secdrv.sys was not on the ISO disc I'm using for the game, I'm wondering if this (R/click on the title in your Steam Library > Properties > Local Files )
If the game is a Steam download running the ' verify integrity of game cache' tool may fix the problem. If you have not already done so, and if the game is not one of the victims of DRM Blocking youĭownload DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer from Official Microsoft Download Center If there is a file on the games disk with the title - secdrv.sys - the game will be blocked. I don't know if this particular installment of The Lord of the Rings is affected, but the others are. This may not be applicable to this game because the most common error associated withĭRM Blocking is 'run as admin', but simply not launching with no error message is also common.
