What do you think WOTR (for PC) woll be like?

[Saruman]

'War of the Ring' (a strategy game for the PC) will be released in 2004. I'm really looking forward to it! A strategy game is just perfect for a story like LOTR. What do you think it will be like?
I'm hoping that players can play as Rohan, Gondor, Isengard and Mordor, and take control of epic battles such as the Siege of Minas Tirith and Helm's Deep. I recently got Age of Mythology, which is also a strategy game. If WOTR is in a similar style (obviously with different areas), it would be great.

Sounds cool, Saruman! :thumbs: If it was anything like AOM, it would be great! I personally prefer AOE II's style, but anything like that based on LOTR would be awesome! :grin:

[Frodo]

I think it whould be cool! But I hope they make it like Warcraft 3 or Starcraft

[Alatar]

AHH yes:thumbs: great infor Saruman, and i am a big Fan of Warcraft III and Startcraft Broodwar, thant style would be good with a few moderations of course

WOTR looks like a great game, and hopefully it will be fun to play. Yet I have the utmost faith in it, and I'm certainly going to purchase the game upon its release next year. :thumbs:

It's Beorn, but ain't he from The Hobbit?

[Númenórean]

Maybe he's a secret character. lol that would be cool: a special army of bearmen on the Pellenor fields lol
