| | The War of the Ring |
 | | Seven rings were given to the dwarves and nine to mankind. | | | For one thing, the Tolkien story is a three volume book, but in another of his books, The Silmarillion, the War of the Ring is simply a couple of pages. | | | Gollum was in possession of the Ring for over 900 years, kept alive by its evil powers. |

| | The Lord of the Rings also inspired an animated motion picture in 1978 and more recently the full motion pictures based on the trilogy. | | | Published in three volumes between 1954 and 1956, J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy is perhaps one of the most influential works of literature. | | | The available spells include summoning an Ent for the good armies and summoning a Balroc for the evil armies, but this little touch of originality is barely noticeable given the overwhelming similarity of War of the Ring to Warcraft III. |

| | The two sides in War of the Ring are the traditional ones of Good and Evil. | | | The one ring has resurfaced and seeks its master even as the master seeks it. | | | Dwarves, if they fought the forces of Sauron at all, did so in their deep halls, but in WotR charge about every battlefield. |

| | The only thing that can truly stop them is not the armies of men, but a single hobbit, holding the strength of Sauron around a chain on his neck. | | | Just as it is in the books, however, the forces of good require a bit more convincing. | | | The goal is to get Frodo to Mordor without having him become completely corrupted by the ring. |

| | The latter half of the Third Age (around the time of the books) was chosen as our focus, because it is that period that the fans and people with casual interest are most familiar with. | | | The title will allow players to don the mantle of good or evil, either attempting to bring about the One Ring's destruction or covering the land of Middle Earth in darkness. | | | Everything was built new from the ground up, but many of the same people who worked on Battle Realms were working on The War of the Ring and so, in many ways, The War of the Ring is the spiritual successor to Battle Realms, with some significant differences. |

| | Other units merely hinted at in the books that play crucial roles in War of the Ring include huorns (walking trees), cave trolls, beornings (intelligent bears), the haradrim, and, of course, balrogs. | | | There were also battles such as Mordor's forces capturing the tower of Minas Ithil, the dwarves' defense of the Iron Hills, and Boromir's assault on Osgiliath that either preceded or were suggested by the books. | | | Add to that the stress of working on Lord of the Rings, possibly one of the most beloved fictional franchises in history, and the pressure only increases. |

| | War of the Rings is a mildly entertaining trip through the world of Middle Earth, but feels lacking in some places. | | | These "non-build" missions are some of the highlights of War of the Ring, as you are often set out on tasks that were only hinted at in the books. | | | War of the Ring’s Gollum possesses a groveling conniving and creepy voice that seems to be a cross between the way he was depicted in the animated version of Fellowship and Jackson’s films. |
