Often, their most powerful abilities come at a cost and must be used with care - but timid generals will fail to realize Angmar's full potential. Orcs, Hillmen, Barrow-wights, wolves, sorcerers and the elite Men of Carn Dûm all serve the Witch-king and form a frightening force.Īs the Witch-king demands absolute loyalty from his subjects, Angmar is a faction of sacrifice. This, Angmar must use to construct a variety of structures to gain the full benefit of their highly versatile armies. Similiar to Gondor, the fortress of Angmar offers nine build plots and mighty defenses. The northern realm of Angmar is unusual among the evil factions in that the Witch-king has swayed traitorous Men of Arnor to his side and thus gained a core of disciplined elite soldiers as well as stoneworks who can raise mighty castles. Sauron's armies must rely on superior numbers of weaker units and a good combination of beasts and heroes to plunge the land into darkness.
However, Mordor lacks most unit upgrades and has few cavalry units. On settlements and outposts, the Dark Lord calls on his fortresses of Minas Morgul, Cirith Ungol and Dol Guldur. Furthermore, Sauron may use his influence on structures to unlock new units and technologies, ever expanding Mordor's armies.Īs basic Orcs are free, Mordor can field the largest armies in the game, supplemented by Ringwraiths, trolls, siege engines, spiders and more. By fulfilling tasks like conquering outposts or recruiting certain units, the Dark Lord's power can be increased, which in turn strengthens heroes like the Nazgûl and the Mouth of Sauron who are linked to him.
The whole gameplay of the faction is focused on the central hero Sauron. Their base is not secured by walls, but Mordor can build several types of defensive structures. The root of all evil in Middle-earth, Mordor commands a large variety of Orcs, Trolls and other horrors. Rohan's fate powers summon many allies to your side, from Haldir and his Elves to the Three Hunters and even The Last March of the Ents. On settlements, the Rally Point allows healing units in the field for additional mobility and recruits captains of Rohan, who supply a small contingent of heavy veterans. While they may lack powerful sorcery or heavily armed infantry, the Rohirrim are a formidable force on the battlefield. They are cheap and not skilled warriors, but can be trained from resource buildings without having a barracks, making them readily available in significant numbers from the start - and all the more threatening once they're armed and drafted into the King's army.Īt heart, however, Rohan is a cavalry faction, commanding the largest variety of riders and mounted heroes in the game. In the early game, Rohan can call peasants to defend their country.
Rohan is one of the most aggresive factions among the free peoples, but can still retreat behind the wooden walls of their fortress in times of need.
