Each of the nations in Medieval 2 have been replaced with the four well known races of Middle Earth (Elf, Man, Hobbit, and Orc) and each major event or iconic location occurs or is placed as it should be.
The mod captures the Tolkien universe with foolproof accuracy. Thanks to Creative Assembly’s framework for the game Medieval 2, thousands of wars clashing against each other over the fate of Middle Earth was made possible. Not every settlement is customized, but the majority of the most popular ones are.Įven though the game is just a mod of another, I’ve never seen any other game capture the many, enormous battles that took place during the war of the ring better than this mod can. For example, Minas Tirith looked very similar to how it appeared in the movies. The epic and strategically demanding battles are all there, backed up by an extensive playable campaign map of Middle Earth that features all of your favorite locations from the books and movies.Įach and every battle map is specially customized to fit that region, including settlements. Everything you’ve loved about the classic Total War game is here, just in Middle Earth fashion.
The mod went in production in March 2008, version 3.0 pushed out just last year.
