THE STORY:

The Dread Shadowmage, Raselas, has gathered an army to destroy what remains of the ancient Three Wills, and conquer all who oppose him. New heroes will rise and stand against the forces of darkness, to restore the sanctity of the old and ensure peace to the lands of good.


Play solo or with friends online using three Create-A-Heroes plus three completely new heroes that will join you as your journey progresses. Complete the side quests you are given to obtain valuable experience and loot, which you can later spend at the shops to buy powerful magical items.
Face enemies you have never seen before and explore a completely new universe, far from the tales of middle earth.

Features:
- Play solo and control all heroes, or up to three players coop for the best adventuring experience.
- Classic RPG elements: Experience the feel of the old classics while enjoying the epicness that only bfme2 can provide!
- Completely revamped CaH abilities: Pretty much all abilities and spells have been changed to make them all useful. While some abilities have been made stronger (Axethrow, Shield Bash, Lightblast, Arrow Storm, etc.) some others are not as overpowered as before (Whirlwind, Coerce/convert, the Heal glitch, etc.)
- 8 Boss fights that will take the most of your combat skill
- Item shops!
- Play the full version or beat each part separately (more suited for online play)
- No mods! This map can be played online like any other with no need for additional downloads (Read Notes for Multiplayer below)

Please remember to read the map instructions before you play.

Map Installation
Extract the .rar files to your maps directory.
If using windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\My Battle for Middle-earth(tm) II Files\Maps
If using windows Vista: C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\My Battle for Middle-earth(tm) II Files\Maps

Remember you will only be able to see this folder if you can view HIDDEN files. Make sure, otherwise you will not see the folder.

Notes for Multiplayer and Online Play:
If playing online, make sure the player under the host is a Brutal CPU to avoid the map transfer bug.
Also, to prevent OUT-OF-SYNC errors, if playing on EA's servers make sure everyone RESTARTS their game BEFORE playing the map. You may also need to restart after playing.

The AI isn't prepared to play by itself.

Please read the map instructions before you play the map. It explains how you must be placed on the map so that you can use all 3 initial heroes even if you play singleplayer.
In short, you must be in the lower slot in the middle, the other two slots must be allied CPUs with heroes, and the slot to the far right another allied CPU. Read the instructions! ;)

If you have any more questions let me know, thanks for playing the map!

ok thanks.

Some people have been able to load their games, but some others have not.
I'd recommend you to download the separate parts so you don't need to start over from the beginning if you lose or have to go ^^

kadraha - Wednesday April 14, 2010 - 17:43

When I tried to play the game, I was able to start playing, but when I tried to load a saved game, it said "Error loading game..." and the file path. Do you know what's wrong?

Crusard - Friday March 12, 2010 - 9:47

The map is not tested for The Rise of the Witch King expansion. It *may* work but it's recommended that you just use BFME2.

yams in a can - Tuesday March 9, 2010 - 21:09

Will this work for Rise of the Witch King? How do you connect to the Hamachi Game Network? Is it the one you automatically connect to?

Mau078 - Saturday March 6, 2010 - 3:09

Thx fore the tip but it still dont work. I dont know wts wrong but its wird

Crusard - Friday March 5, 2010 - 17:52

You must install the latest official patch (1.06) for BFME2.
