Oh Dear. One is tempted to be rather cynical about Lord of the Rings: Conquest, seeing as it's appeared following EA's announcement of hundreds of job cuts after not making as much money last quarter as it expected. Surely this couldn't be an entirely shameless attempt to leach money from unsuspecting LOTR fans around the world? I wouldn't dare ever make such a suggestion.
One thing not open to interpretation is the fact that Conquest plays like one of those tedious Koei games Warriors Orochi and Dynasty Warriors. Your character is far too big, and the larger ones almost entirely block your view -just like the Koei games. There's no way you can lock on to your opponents when involved in melee combat - just like the Koei games. The graphics are distinctly underwhelming (except perhaps for the Balrog) - just like those Koei games. No need to labour the point I think.

Essentially then, for those of you who haven't had the dubious pleasure ofplaying those titles, you'll spend 99.9% of your time in Conquest hacking your way through unlimited armies of respawning enemies (you'll know they're respawning because you see them materialising right in front of you). You'll be doing this in one of four guises: as a warrior, archer, scout and, worryingly for Tolkien fans, mage (see Blasphemy! overleaf).
Character Building
The warrior is all about getting stuck into close combat, with powerful sword/ axe attacks and swift group manoeuvres; the scout can cloak himself and perform an instant-kill backstab or throw a satchel charge into a group of foes; the archer can make use of fire and poison gas cloud arrows (the former useful for destroying objectives in later missions); and the mage can create a large area-of-effect shield to protect himself and his allies from missile fire, heal people and fire lightning bolts from his hands.
Each character has a reasonable number of skills, but the problem is thatat least two of them are effectively useless. I may just be rubbish with the warrior and scout, but you'll most likely be playing the majority of the game with the mage and the archer. This is for two reasons; first, lack of a lock-on ability makes chaining move combos together very difficult to achieve with regularity. What usually happens is that you hit the enemy twice and then he gets bashed to the floor. Unfortunately, your momentum takes you past him and you often end up slashing at thin air or trying to turn midcombo, which produces similar results.
Meanwhile, the scout is too weak to get involved with melee combat, and his only really useful ability is cloaking. But relying on this is unrealistic when battles get more hectic, as there are simply too many enemies respawning at too fast a rate. By the time you've backstabbed the stronger enemies in one area, another batch have spawned.
This means you'll end up spending virtually all your time as an archer or mage. The nature of their ranged attacks mean you can stay away from the haphazard melee combat, suddenly making the game less of a furious button-clicking exercise and more of a considered combat game (to a small extent, anyway).
The Magic Touch
As the archer, you can zoom in and pick off foes relatively quickly, causing more damage when zoomed than if you aren't Presumably this is to simulate the increased accuracy of your shot when taking 'proper1 aim, although it is just as easy to hit your target when not zoomed in (you can fire quicker, too). You also have a rather nifty kick that gets you out of trouble if enemies come too close.
The mage, though, is easily the most tactically diverse of all four classes, having chain lightning, area-of-effect and defensive abilities which can be used in various situations. As the mage, you're the equivalent of a damage class mixed with a buff character, providing healing and protection from ranged attacks to anyone who sticks close to you. The Al doesn't seem to be able to use the mage properly, though, usually just spamming the energy shield ability rather than using his powerful attacks.
Most importantly, the mage can heal himself, an ability that's vital later on. You can't recover health easily in any of the other classes, so you'll end up running about like a tit in a trance hoping for an Al mage to heal you. This is even more ridiculous when you find yourself in control of one of the hero characters.
From time to time you'll get the chance to play as one of the heroes from LOTR, such as Gandalf, Aragorn and Gimli. Later, in the Rise of Sauron campaign (an alternative version of the story where Frodo is killed by aNazgul before he can complete his quest), you can take control of Saruman, Sauron and even the Balrog. These are tougher than your average generic characters and have slight variations on the usual class skills. The same problems apply, though: you'll still avoid playing Aragorn because you're forced to use melee attacks and can't heal yourself. Comically, it was easier to defeat Elrond and Legolas with an orc mage than it was with Sauron because of his lack of healing abilities.
The gameplay itself, with or without the use of heroes, is utterly repetitive and, dare I say it, almost dripping with the noxious juices of consolisation. Thankfully there aren't any 'Press Left Trigger!' instructions, though I did have a bit of a problem figuring out how to spawn as a hero when the option was made available (you press the left or right cursor keys). On the whole, nobody should be finding Conquests control I system difficult to get to grips with and the tutorial does its job well.
I Unfortunately, this ease of use Ebecomes one of the main problems.Because you get to grips with things very early on, you'll find yourself doing the same thing over and over and over again, constantly, throughout the entire game. The very first section (defending Helm's Deep) is one of its most interesting because it varies the template islightly by having you defend the outer walls of the city against siege ladders and sappers trying to destroy the walls.
From then on, things remain much the same throughout Only the entry of the armies of Rohan provides a break from I the action (also the one and only time I found the scout class to be useful). I'll be fair, and say that attempts are sometimes made to add something interesting to f the mix (on a couple of occasions you get to ride a horse into battle), but these parts are often easier to complete by, yes, doing the same as you've been doing for the rest of the game.
Being able to play as the likes of Sauron doesn't work with the feel of the books too well, either. Taking control of LOTRs adversary and then being killed by a few elves doesn't feel at all right. Neither does the Balrog turning up in the Shire and being wounded by hobbits. What can also happen is that a random event - such as a giant eagle or bat swooping down over the battlefield - can lead to your hero being carried away and killed instantly, which can be both bemusing and frustrating. Still, no matter how flawed the game, it's still cool to trudge about the battlefield as the Balrog or incinerate orcs as Gandalf.
Despite these bursts of entertainment, there's little to recommend in this game. At first glance the battles feel epic and large in scale, but you'll soon realise that the actual area you'll be fighting in is tiny by comparison. When defending Helm's Deep, you'll see the limitless numbers of orcs stretching away into the distance, but only a handful of these ever come towards you.While the number of characters on screen at any time can be surprisingly high, without your intervention, very little actually happens. As the game progresses, you'll often find yourself totally ignoring the majority of the enemies and just making a beeline for the objective. If you don't do this, you'll generally get bogged down and bored by the endless repetitive combat.
Lordy Lord
Despite all this, Conquest does has a curiously addictive quality that will keep you battling on until the end. Perhaps it's just the underlying quality of the Lord of the Rings story that keeps you playing -the ooh, I'm fighting Saruman now!' factor. Or perhaps it's the occasional rush you get from killing 15 enemies at once with a well-placed power attack. Whatever it is, if you do decide to play Conquest, you'll almost certainly trudge through to the end, which has to count for something.
Unfortunately you'll have killed off half your brain cells in the process, as well as developing various RSI-related affliction to your mouse hand. There are so many other things that are either wrong or just plain silly, but I haven't got space to list them all. http://hvyvmbw.xtgem.com/Blog/__xtblog_entry/19155876-macbook-pro-hdd#xt_blog. Lord of the Rings deserves a better action game than this, and with the rich source material available to them, Pandemic and EA should be ashamed of themselves for unleashing this on the general public -even if we all know it'll go straight to the top of the charts regardless.
Blasphemy!
Middle-earth - now with added mages
If it weren't for the mage class, Conquest would have been worse - but the point about the Middleearth universe is that magic is a rare commodity, wielded only by a chosen few. So, why is it that mages are a common sight in these battlefields? Surely there was a way around this to keep the game closer to the Tolkien canon?
Being able to kill Saruman relatively easily with a generic mage pisses all over the carefully cultivated lore of the most revered fantasy franchise of all time. Nicely done, Pandemic.

Look, a bandwagon!
Flogging deceased equines M audio profire 610 driver windows 10.
Multiplayer co-op is all the rage nowadays (a full 15 years or so after Doom introduced it, but whatcha gonna do?), and Conquest hasn't missed a trick in including it.
Unfortunately, at the time of going to press, there was no opportunity to try any of the other co-op modes, including Ring Bearer, Capture the Ring and Hero Deathmatch. But it's basically the same as single-player and, as usual, makes the experience better with the addition of a companion.
Amid chaotic, constantly changing battles of swords and sorcery, players lead their forces in a desperate struggle to save Middle-Earth. Built on EA's Command & Conquer: Generals engine, The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth is a real-time strategy game set in the world of the Peter Jackson trilogy, based on the novels by J.R.R. Tolkien. It focuses on large-scale warfare instead of individual characters or the quest of the Fellowship, and is designed to re-create the epic battles featured in the three films. Familiar hero characters become available, however, and their powerful influences can turn the tide in a close battle. Four different factions are featured -- the riders of Rohan, the armies of Gondor, the forces of Saruman, and the legions of Sauron -- and each relies on a different type of resource to develop and replenish its forces. The game includes two separate single-player campaigns; one has fans leading the forces of good against the orcs and goblins of Mordor, and the other allows them to guide the forces of evil to claim Middle-Earth for their dark master.
Enter The Battle for Middle-earth, touched by the Tolkien license and Peter Jackson's films, and imbued with the personality of the team that created Red Alert 2 and C&C Generals. While veteran RTS players may have some nits to pick with the relatively solid gameplay, those same fans of The Lord of the Rings series should find that the game shines as a playable re-creation of Tolkien's work. The game is a perfect example of a license enhancing the final product.
The game was originally billed as a game where Tolkien fans could play without being overwhelmed by the traditional micromanagement or interface of a real-time strategy game. To that end, players can opt to go to Battle School, which is a non-playable tutorial on how to play the game. Veteran RTS players may not need it, but the presentation is user-friendly. Free bus driving games. If players choose to jump right in to the single-player campaign, they can opt for good or evil, with the good side focusing on Rohan and Gondor and the evil side drawing from Isengard and Mordor (along with their Rhun and Haradrim allies). The player can choose between easy, normal, and hard gameplay, with the only difference being the amount of damage units dole out: on easy, enemy units don't do as much damage, while on hard, they do more damage.
The good campaign pretty much follows the three movies, and this is one of the biggest strengths of the game for Tolkien fans (of which I am one). The battles and key plot points of the movie are so utterly compelling (and at times overwhelming) that the player really feels that they control the destiny of Middle-earth. Throw in the riveting music of Howard Shore and the key voice acting of Christopher Lee, Sir Ian McKellen, Sean Astin and others, and the game becomes as a fairly faithful adaptation of the movies, but with the player tasked with making sure the good side wins.
There are some slight deviations (all of which had to be approved through New Line Cinema), such as the part where Boromir dies. In one mission, you are told to save him, and he will be available as a hero unit throughout the game when Gondor is involved. However, if you do not save him, he still shows up later on. The same applies to heroes that die in battle during the campaign. They are still available for use in later missions. While keeping true to the movies, it does tend to take away from the urgency to protect them.
The evil campaign will easily appeal to those who really wanted to see Sauron conquer Middle-earth. Saruman is the key hero, with Lurtz (the Uruk-hai warrior with a penchant for well-placed arrow shots) also available. This portion of the game is a bit more freeform since there are few times in the movies where the evil side didn't get crushed. But Helms Deep and Minas Tirith take on a whole new appeal when playing here. I particularly enjoyed killing a few of those nasty Hobbitses.
The game mixes in live-action scenes from the movies in subtle places, not as cinematics, but more as highlights, such as on the tally screen after each mission, in the multiplayer window or in the round interface screen in the bottom left corner at key moments in missions. The cutscenes use the in-game engine and look extremely good.
The game is coordinated through a huge map of Middle-earth. This offers another good way for fans to immerse themselves in the game with recognizable landmarks such as Mount Doom, Minas Tirith, and Helms Deep. Players decide which armies they want to use to attack various locales in Middle-earth. While the player does have choices on areas to conquer, the game forces you to key plot points at particular times, be it Sam rescuing Frodo in Shelob's lair, or the Ents taking down the dam at Isengard.

While the player does have choices on areas to conquer, the game forces you to key plot points at particular times, be it Sam rescuing Frodo in Shelob's lair, or the Ents taking down the dam at Isengard.
Each area that the player conquers offers one or two special bonuses: an increase in power (which can be used to buy special abilities as simple as heal or as complex as the Army of the Dead or the Balrog), a percentage increase in resources gathered, or command points. Iphone app store website. Command points basically equate to a unit cap. The more points you have, the more units you can build up to a preset maximum.
This format can get a bit frustrating as the good side tries to build up its army to defend against the evil onslaught. You will have plenty of resources, but can't build units because you are at your command cap. In this respect the game does well in keeping with the spirit of the Tolkien universe in that the good side will always be seriously overwhelmed and the strategy will play more heavily than the swarm mentality of the evil side. But in the late game, if you advance plenty of squads with you from the previous mission, you may find yourself gathering a ton of money with little you can spend it on. This also will affect your buildings because you cannot upgrade certain buildings without building units. At least on the evil side, you can destroy your own units in the slaughterhouses (or have your units kill each other for experience) and build more. Isonics 1 4 0 – convert audio files between formats.
The game plays as a solid RTS with all the flair that the EALA team put into Generals. The sides are fairly distinctive in terms of the buildings they create. Resources are relegated to collecting gold from destroyed neutral structures (such as goblin lairs, warg habitats, or troll homes) or by using farms (on the good side) or lumber mills and slaughterhouses (on the evil side). As for units, Rohan and Gondor have variations on infantry, archers, cavalry and siege units, while the Mordor and Isengard have a much more varied selection, from trolls to battering rams to the huge Mumakill.
The level design and 3D art is great, especially on the recognizable levels from the movie. However, there are some missions where the map was obviously designed for multiplayer map and thrust into the campaign as filler.
The game view is true 3D with the capability to zoom in closer to the battlefield. You don't get the first-person view of being in the battle, but it is pretty darn close. Picasa 3 software. It can be neat to zoom in close on the heroes while they are using some of their special abilities or as Saruman or Gandalf are casting spells.
As with any RTS, players start building up their bases and gathering resources, but when the combat begins, literally all hell breaks loose. The evil side has the ability to send wave after wave of units to assault the good side, with literally hundreds of units on the screen at any one time. Units are created and grouped in squads of five (for the good side) or 10 (for the evil side), except for siege units, trolls, and Mumakill, which are created individually. The unit animations are extremely well done and the emotion system that was created really adds to the game. It is really satisfying to hear your units cheer when they win a skirmish or see them run in fear at the site of Aragorn wielding his sword.
The hero units can be built to a maximum of level 10 and can take an amazing amount of damage. The special abilities and spells are well thought out and extremely well animated and rendered. I did find out the hard way that they do have a penchant for battle and will try to involve themselves in any nearby fray, even when they are low on health.
The evil A.I. can be pretty relentless as all it is really required to do is build, expand, and throw wave after wave of units at you. The good A.I., though, can be a bit dumber. When I was rushing toward the castles or keeps, sometimes it failed to close the gates. It also tends not to focus on the units that can do it the most damage, such as trolls, Mumakill, and siege weapons.
There were a few other noticeable combat quirks that, while they did not detract from the overall enjoyment of the game, did cause a bit of head scratching or frustration. Some units will stand around while units near them (or their base structures) are being attacked. This, however, is an infrequent problem. There are also times when you will catch units 'moonwalking' or gliding across the ground, as if the movement animation had not been activated.
Finally, in the Minas Tirith level, there were some height and camera issues. The city is very tall and the camera will try to follow up each level. If an aerial battle is going on with a Nazgul and an eagle over the city, it is very hard to be able to click on the unit and give it a command, as the unit will actually be above the camera angle. You can see the shadows of the battle, but can do nothing to save your unit if it is getting battered. I lost two Nazgul that way. However, this is the only level where this is a problem.
The multiplayer aspect of the game offers several different opportunities for players to test their skills against others. Skirmish mode is available to test against an easy, normal, or hard A.I. Reminiscent of Generals is a system to keep track of wins and losses and other statistics. There are 37 multiplayer maps to choose from, which can support anywhere from 2 to 8 players. If you were familiar with the Generals multiplayer, you will notice some similarities.
We were able to test the LAN portion of the game and found it to be a pretty intense slugfest that can last for hours, depending on the quality of the participants. The Middle-earth aura tends to get lost a bit here, though, as it isn't uncommon to have Gandalf preparing a spell, only to run into his mirror image from the opponent's side ready to cast a similar spell. But having Nazgul, Mumakill, a Balrog, and a small Army of the Dead on the screen at the same time, while Saruman, Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas battle in a free-for-all, will provide an intensity that you probably won't see in too many other multiplayer RTS games.

This game was extremely ambitious and carried the burden of an immense license that could have crushed a lesser development team or game. The game has some flaws, but still provides a good solid RTS experience. Throwing in the well-done execution of the Tolkien license makes the game all the more enjoyable for RTS fans who love Tolkien as well. If you like the games that EALA has done in the past, you will really like this one. If not, it is still worth trying to get the epic experience of saving or destroying Middle-earth.
