In order to reflect the world of Middle-Earth as well as possible, there is an almost complete rework of the 2D and 3D design, including the menu, the interface, the symbols, pictures and much more. The AI will also receive certain bonuses such as extra money or additional armies if they get in serious trouble to compensate for the lack of human intelligence and the lack of income through missions. Additionally, a unit recruitment based on a cultural level and a regional recruitment requires strategically decisions and will slow down your expansion if not properly planned. Both ways, freeing the good people of Middle-Earth, as well as bringing the world under the shadow will not be an easy task for the player.Ī new campaign and battle AI will make the player's life much harder. The end of the Third Age is a time where good and evil wage a decisive war for the final domination of Middle-Earth.

Having a team full of Uruk-hai is a great feeling. The Third Age is not just another game where you play as the good guys and do noble things. The Third Age allows for large-scale battles akin to those in Heroscape, and you’ll have a blast laying out attack strategies for your team.
You’ll use a hero as your commanding officer, and then pad out your squad with generic grunts and units. Following the stories of such timeless heroes as Aragorn, Sam and Gandalf made the movies relate to the Ranger, Hobbit and Wizard in all of us, and those characters are all present here in The Third Age. The presence of iconic characters really made the movies in the LOTR universe stand out.
It makes The Third Age feel much more like a board game or tabletop RPG, and it’s a really interesting design decision, but can make the game feel more luck-based than dependent on skill. The enemy has to do this too, and it can really stitch you up. You will then be able to move one unit per number on the dice. At the beginning of each turn, your number of moves will be determined by a dice roll. While most turn-based tactics games allow you to move your entire team each turn, The Third Age takes a different approach.
