This map can be played as a single player vs. the computer or as a co-op against the computer (it's more fun that way).
You can play as: Highmen, Humans, Dwarves, Elves or Halflings (Hobbits).
Story Background
The bearer of the One Ring, Frodo Baggins, has died. His attempt to reach Mount Doom failed, and the One Ring has disappeared once again. Now Sauron has vowed to crush all of Middle Earth and reign forever. With Minas-Tirith girded for war; the Elves holding at Lothlorien, Elrond's house and northern Mirkwood; Gimli gone to rouse the Dwarves of the Iron Hills and the Men of Rohan gathering for the storm from Isengard; and Meriadoc returned to the Shire to gather the hobbits, the good races wonder if they can stand - especially as Sauron sows mistrust and fear among the alliance members, causing them to eye their neighbors with suspicion. Indeed, the Men of Rohan, led by Theoden who is under Wormtongue's influence, are mistrusted by many.... And then the terrible news arrives.... Gandalf has disappeared, none know where the grey rider is to be found!! The clouds of war and death hang heavy over Middle Earth and all wonder if this is the end of their age......

A wonderful recreation of Tolkien's world, this map will push your playing skills to the limit! I've won the map on single-player as the Highmen, Hobbits and Humans. But, this map is most fun played with others in a PBEM.
I highly recommend you turn Leaders OFF! It's just too easy to die!
I would say the the Highmen and the Elves have the hardest starting positions as they can be attacked from all sides. The Humans have the weakest starting position. The Halflings and Dwarves both begin in a corner so they can at least focus their defenses. Playing as the Haflings (i.e., Hobbits) is the most fun. |

Beautiful map in a land that we all know. Truly a great map, one of the best and most entertaining ones that there is.
I am just playing it in a pbem game, and it has been very fun so far, and challenging too, wich is very important.
If you don't have this map, then you should get it. |

Giving a 5 in Creativity & Story/Instructions to a map that derives story from Middle Earth and is one of a l-o-t of Middle Earth maps is overkill, I think.
Other than that, a wonderful, must-play map. |

I would not recommend this map to beginners as it would surely be overwhelming. However, for players who are very familiar with AoW, this map is a must-play! |
