1) Introduction
Fancy graphic, I know. I'll probably enhance that as I get closer to totally
finishing this walkthrough. At the time of writing this there are only 2 FAQs
(this one makes 3 ;)) for this great turn-based strategy game.
It used to say here how both other FAQs were incomplete, which is not true
anymore. I still want to finish this though :)
Whenever anyone needed help they had to ask on the forums and wait for replies
on how to beat a level, or any other questions. That's when I decided to make
a detailed walkthrough that would answer any questions anyone has about this
game. This is the result of it.
If you have any comments/suggestions or even negative things to say about this
walkthrough, please let me know at songoku1@gmail.com
The walkthrough part looks a little better, at least I think so. Visuals are
pretty much done. Hope it looks alright.
Also keep in mind, this is my first FAQ I've ever written so it won't be
perfect or anything like that (although I'll try to make it perfect ;)).

all I ask is that you don't claim you wrote it. If you use any part of this
FAQ, give me credit. I won't threaten you with legal action like I've seen
some people do *rolleyes*
5) Game Mechanics
I don't feel the need to list what every button does on every screen possible.
If you play the game, you'll notice soon enough.
===============
5.1 Gaining Experience
===============
Each hero can earn Experience Points which can be used to buy Skills which are
essential to beating the game. Chances are, without using Skills, you will have
a VERY difficult time beating the game. Now, how does one earn experience?
There are two different times a hero will earn experience:
1) If a unit on the hero's flank kills an enemy unit, that hero will get
experience points. Depending on how many depends on the unit killed. You can
check my Unit stats (Section 12) to see how many Exp points each unit is worth.
Example: If any unit killed a Haradrim, the hero on that flank would get 2 EXP.
2) If a hero kills a unit himself, that hero will receive the normal Exp. he
would get from killing a unit. Plus he gets the same number of Exp. again
(basically meaning he gets double XP) for him doing the killing.
Example: If a hero killed a Haradrim, he would get 4 XP (2 XP for killing a
unit, and 2 XP for doing the killing himself).
Now you may wonder: But what if a flank has no hero on it? Well, then no one
gets EXP points. The only units that can get Exp are heroes, and if there's no
heroes on the flank when a unit gets killed, then no one gets the Exp.
But what if there's several heroes on the same flank? Who gets the Exp when
a unit is killed? (Thx to Mithrandir1024 for this info)
Well, most of this answer is not known, but not all of it yet. We know this
much: If there's more than one hero in a flank, the "main hero" (the one
who gets the extra EXP and has his picture in the bottom left corner) is
the one with the highest minimum CP (each hero gives 0-4 or 1-3 etc. CP
each turn). For example: Wormtongue gives 2-3 CP each turn, which is
the highest minimum CP of any Evil hero. So if you chose to play with
Wormtongue, he will always be the main hero on his flank.
If two or more heroes have the same minimum CP (say, several heroes give
1-X CP, X being any number), then the hero with the highest maximum CP
becomes the main hero. For example: If you have Gimli (1-2 CP) and Faramir
(1-3 CP) on the same flank, Faramir becomes the main hero.
Now it is unknown what happens if two or more heroes give the exact same
amount of CP (Theoden and Boromir both give 0-4 CP). If you know anything
about this, please send me an e-mail.
Boromir both give 0-4)
===============
5.2 Calculating Damage
===============
This will explain briefly how the game calculates damage. For every attack
value the attacking unit has, he either does 0, 1, or 2 damage.
Example 1:
A Wood Man (3 Attack) attacks another unit. He will do anywhere from 0
damage (0,0,0) to 6 damage (2,2,2). To hit either of these extremes is
unlikely, because there is a very steep bell curve using this system.
Example 2:
A Mordor Troll (12 Attack) attacks another unit. His damage range is
0 (12 x 0) to 24 (12 x 2). Again, either of these values are unlikely.
On average, a unit does the same amount of damage as it's attack value.
(i.e. a Wood Man does 3 damage, a Mordor Troll does 12 damage).
This should help you understand why your Morannon Orc sometimes lands
6-7 damage even thoug he only has 4 attack.
Also note that ranged attacks have their attack values decreased by
-1 / square they're away from the units. Terrain also plays a factor
in calculating damage (also decreases attack value by whatever the
terrain bonus is).
===============
5.2 Explaining Morale
===============
We all know that each unit is assigned a morale status. However, what does
"Fearless" or "Brave" mean, and how does it affect each character?
So far, the only thing that was known was that lower morale increases the
chances of units running away (Morale checks). Fearless units never ran
away, while Cowardly units ran away a lot.
However, I will know explain exactly what each Morale means and how it
affects each character.
First off, each Morale (Fearless/Brave/Average/Green/Cowardly) is assigned to
a number value in the game:
Fearless: 0
Brave: 1-2
Average: 3-4
Green: 5
Cowardly: 7-8
There are no units with 6 Morale value.
The exact number can be found next to any unit in my unit listings (see
Section 6 & 7 for heroes, and Section 12 for every other unit).
Now, the chance of a unit running away (will call it retreating from now on)
depends on the attack value of the unit attacking it. This is best explained
by some examples:
Example 1: A Wild Man (Attack value 3) attacks Theoden (Morale value 2).
The game runs 3 calculations (3 because the wildman has 3 attack) and for
each of those 3 times, Theoden has a 2% of retreating (the % of retreating
is the morale value) each of those 3 times. If Theoden fails all 3 times,
he will retreat 3 squares. If he just fails 1 time, he will retreat 1 square.
Example 2: Army of the Dead (Attack 8) attacks Grishnakh (Morale value 7).
Grishnakh then has a 7% of retreating one square, times 8. If he fails all
8 times (unlikely), he will retreat 8 squares. Otherwise he will just
retreat the number of times he failed.
It is possible for a unit to do no damage whatsoever (see Section 5.2 as to
how and why) and still force a unit to retreat several squares. These morale
calculations are not related to damage calculations in any way. It's also
possible for a Mordor Troll to do 24 damage to a unit without making it
retreat.
Note that when using ranged attacks, if you are 3 squares away from the
enemy, your attack value decreases by 3 (-1 Damage / Square). This doesn't
apply if the unit has Sharpshooter/Elf Archery talent. Time for another
example:
Example 3: A Catapult (Range 16, Attack 12) attacks a Gondor soldier with
Morale 5, and the soldier is 5 squares away from the Catapult. That means
the Gondor soldier has a 5% chance of retreating, times 7 (12 - 5 squares
distance).

| Analysis: | Stats |
| | |
| Aragorn is a decent starting hero. With skills | HP: 25 |
| like Sweep Attack, Arms Mastery, Inspire, and | SP: 8 |
| Curse of the Dead he actually becomes a very | |
| useful ally. He has a max attack potential of | Move: 3 |
| 12 at range 1 (with Anduril, Arms Mastery, and | Attack: 6 |
| Entwater). | Range: 4 |
| | |
| However, his range is only 4 which means he's | Morale: Fearless (0) |
| got to get close to the enemy to do damage | Leadership: Great (1-4) |
| which could get dangerous. But with 29 HP | Talent: None |
| (with Heavy Armor) and Kingsfoil and Lembas |_____________________________|
| Bread at his disposal, he should do alright. |
| |
| 11 SP (with Brooch) is also pretty decent. |
| |
| He makes up for his weaknesses with his excellent and very useful skills. |

| Analysis: | Stats |
| | |
| Gandalf is a popular pick for a lot of people | HP: 23 |
| (even if only for his glitched Stealth skill | SP: 10 |
| [see Glitches section for more info]). Besides | |
| that though, he has good HP (25 with Light | Move: 3 |
| Armor), plus Kingsfoil and Lembas Bread to use | Attack: 5 |
| and his SP is also pretty good at 13 with | Range: 6 |
| Brooch. | |
| | Morale: Fearless (0) |
| With a max attack of 9 at melee range (with | Leadership: Average (1-3) |
| Glamdring and Entwater) he's also quite nice | Talent: Regeneration |
| at dealing damage for a wizard. 7 Attack with |_____________________________|
| 6 Range is also ver nice. |
| |
| Skills like Evasion I don't find too useful, but with skills like Stealth |
| (glitched), Inspire (very useful) he looks a lot better again. Blinding |
| Light is a Gandalf-exclusive skill and can be useful at times. |
| |
| His regeneration talent (heal 1 HP every turn) also makes him look good. A |
| good hero to choose if you want to play around with magic. |

| [ 6.3 Elrond ] |

| Analysis: | Stats |
| | |
| Elrond is an elf. I like elves. Therefore, I | HP: 22 |
| like Elrond. Here's why: | SP: 12 |
| | |
| He sports 26 HP (with Heavy Armor) with | Move: 3 |
| Kingsfoil AND Hold Fast to heal him and his | Attack: 6 |
| flank. 12 SP is also not bad at all. | Range: 5 |
| | |
| Elrond can be set up to be a melee destructor | Morale: Fearless (0) |
| and this is how: With Elven Blade, he gets 8 | Leadership: Average (1-3) |
| attack at range 1. Attack enemy for a decent | Talent: Elf Archery |
| amount of damage. Now use Defensive Stance for |_____________________________|
| 75% less damage (at level 3), or if you can't |
| just use Elven Phial. If you already have Elven Cloak, that's already -1 |
| Damage. Now if you haven't boosted your defenses enough, use Elven Duress to |
| annihilate the enemy's CPs and give him 10% of Disorder. Next turn, if it |
| gets too dangerous, use Galadrim Lock and get outta there while ignoring the |
| enemies and having 5 Move. |
| |
| Ranged attacks also work, but Elrond "only" has 5 Range, but he does have |
| Elf Archery which ignores terrain. Now if he was a Sharpshooter he would be |
| an ultimate beast at both melee and missile attacks. However, he does have |
| the Keen Eyes skill which gives him the Sharpshooter talent as well. |

| Analysis: | Stats |
| | |
| Theoden is a very nice choice for a secondary | HP: 17 |
| hero. Since he's a mounted unit, he gets | SP: 9 |
| Double Move so he can use the infamous | |
| hit-and-run technique. With Helm of the | Move: 4 |
| Rohirrim he can deliver you up to 4 CP in one | Attack: 4 |
| turn, PLUS Inspire which adds 2 CP to | Range: 1 |
| Theoden's flank and 1 each to the other two | |
| flanks (level 3 only). | Morale: Brave (2) |
| | Leadership: Average (0-3) |
| His attack doesn't start out to great (4) but | Talent: Shock / Double Move |
| with Whetstone (+1) and Entwater (+2) he's |_____________________________|
|already at 7 Attack. His HP is only 17, but add |
| Heavy Armor (+4), Kingsfoil and Lembas Bread, and he's looking a lot better |
| already. |
| |
| Theoden is one of the better secondary heroes, so I suggest you use him |
| every once in a while. |

| | |
| Now Boromir is also a nice choice. 21 HP | HP: 19 |
| (with Light Armor) and Kingsfoil and Lembas | SP: 6 |
| Bread to heal. SP, however, is only 6. Attack, | |
| though, can be maxed to 9 (Whetstone and | Move: 3 |
| Entwater) for a turn, and that includes both | Attack: 6 |
| Range AND Melee (still only for one turn | Range: 4 |
| though). Keep in mind though that ranged | |

| Analysis: | Stats |
| | |
| Eowyn is a whole character on her own. Eowny's | HP: 17 |
| role in this game is to take down heroes (and | SP: 12 |
| if you've seen the movies or read the books, | |
| you know why) AND give out SP. Both very good. | Move: 4 |
| | Attack: 5 |
| With only 19 HP (with Armor of Rohan) she | Range: 1 |
| needs to watch out though, but she does have | |
| Kingsfoil and Lembas Bread to keep her safe | Morale: Brave (1) |
| for a bit. Hold Fast also supports her and her | Leadership: Average (1-3) |
| flank. | Talent: Shieldmaiden |
| |_____________________________|
| 15 SP (with Brooch) is very nice. Her |
| Shieldmaiden talent is unique to her which gives her +3 damage when |
| attacking heroes. Not bad at all for a woman ;) *duck*. |
| |
| Her Stealth skill (level 2, 66% less damage from missile attacks) gained |
| from Armor of Rohan also makes sure she doesn't die before she reaches a |
| hero. Elven Phial gives her an added defensive bonus for those rough times. |
| |
| If you want to take down an enemy hero quickly, Eowyn is your girl. |

| Analysis: | Stats |
| | |
| Faramir is one of the better, more useful | HP: 18 |
| characters to use if you like ranged attacks | SP: 9 |
| (which I do if you haven't noticed). 23 HP | |
| with Armor of Gondor is pretty nice, plus 13 | Move: 3 |
| SP (with Brooch and Armor of Gondor) is top of | Attack: 4 |
| the line too. Attack can be maxed out at only | Range: 5 |
| 7 (with Whetstone and Entwater). | |
| | Morale: Brave (2) |
| However, with Sharpshooter talent (ignores | Leadership: Average (1-3) |
| Range) he can attack anything with 7 Attack | Talent: Sharpshooter |
| within 5 Range (remember, terrain still |_____________________________|
| applies). |
| |
| Use Elven Phial when he's being attack too much, and if you want you can use |
| Evasion to run away but still attack if it's within Faramir's range. |

| All around not a bad character. |

| Analysis: | Stats |
| | |
| Eomer is someone I don't use very much, but I | HP: 26 |
| can see how he's got potential. 28 HP (with | SP: 6 |
| Light Armor) is very good, but with only 6 SP | |
| he's not shining too bright. Max Attack of 11 | Move: 3 |
| (Whetstone + Entwater + Arms Mastery) however | Attack: 5 |
| is VERY nice, plus he's a mounted unit which | Range: 1 |
| lets him abuse hit-and-run tactics. | |
| | Morale: Brave (2) |
| Als 1-3 CPs / turn is average, but the +10% | Leadership: Ordinary (1-2) |
| Onslaught from Standard of Rohan is a decent | Talent: Shock / Double Move |
| plus. |_____________________________|
| |
| If I was more into melee combat instead of ranged combat, I'd definetely |
| use Eomer quite a bit. He's also got staying power with Kingsfoil and Lembas |

| Analysis: | Stats |
| | |
| Now Gimli. Here's your definition of a killer. | HP: 28 |
| Let's take a look at him: | SP: 6 |
| 6 (Base) + | |
| 3 (Arms Mastery level 3) + | Move: 2 |
| 2 (Gloin's Axe) + | Attack: 6 |
| 1 (Whetstone) + | Range: 3 |
| 2 (Entwater) = | |
| 14 ATTACK! | Morale: Brave (1) |
| | Leadership: Ordinary (1-2) |
| 14 Attack means death to any normal enemy unit | Talent: None |
| and soon-to-be-dead to anyone else. |_____________________________|
| |
| Also, monster HP (30 with Light Armor!) means he'll be around for a while. |
| I've had enemies spend 3-4 turns trying to take Gimli down, without success. |
| |
| With only 2 Move he doesn't get around too much (watch the Movies) but with |
| Galadrim Lock he at least gets 4 Move, which will usually get him to his |

| Analysis: | Stats |
| | |
| Legolas. My favorite character. With only 18 | HP: 16 |
| HP (with Light Armor), he might look weak. | SP: 9 |
| Well, he is. At least HP wise. However, | |
| Kingsfoil and Lembas Bread let him survive | Move: 4 |
| longer. Also, usually Legolas will stand so | Attack: 4 |
| far back that he won't even get attacked. | Range: 7 |
| Chances are Legolas will kill anything by the | |
| time it gets too him. If anything does get too | Morale: Brave (2) |
| close, he'll just get even further away with | Leadership: Average (0-3) |
| a decent 4 Move. | Talent: Elf Sharpshooter |
| |_____________________________|
| With 9 Range (with Galadrim Bow) he can stand |
| waaaayyy back and attakc up to 4 (!) enemies in one turn with Sweep Attack |
| level 3. |
| |
| 12 SP (with Brooch) is also very good which will allow him to use Sweep |
| Attack quite often. |
| |
| Sure, his attack is only 4 but who needs a lot of attack when he can hit an |
| enemy 4-5 times before it reaches him? |
| |
| Legolas is one of my favorite and most-used characters in the game. I love |
| ranged attack, therefore I love Legolas. There's nothing like killing off |
| enemies without taking any damage, is there? |

| Analysis: | Stats |
| | |
| Haldir is a decent reward for beating the game | HP: 20 |
| on Hard. 24 HP (with Light Armor and Elven | SP: 8 |
| Hood) is not bad. Also, lvl 2 Stealth skill | |
| (66% less damage from missile attacks) is nice | Move: 4 |
| to have (from Elven Hood). | Attack: 6 |
| | Range: 6 |
| Using his Keen Eyes turns him into Legolas for | |
| a turn, with 9 Range (on lvl 3) and ignoring | Morale: Brave (2) |
| range and terrain. 6 Attack is not bad, | Leadership: Average (0-3) |
| although there's no way to increase it, which | Talent: Elf Archery |
| is fine. |_____________________________|
| |
| Haldir's defenses aren't bad either with Elven Cloak (-1 damage) and Elven |

| | |
| Saruman has below average HP, but as far as | HP: 15 |

| (with Palantir) and the ability to give 1-5 | Move: 3 |
| CPs per turn (again with Palantir) he's an | Attack: 4 |
| excellent hero to choose. And if you still | Range: 6 |
| don't have enough CPs, he carries 2 Spoils of | |
| War with him, which give him 1 CP (for his | Morale: Average (3) |
| flank only) each. | Leadership: Average (1-3) |
| | Talent: Magic Attack |
| 13 SP (with Black Amulet) makes him even |_____________________________|
| better. His max attack is 8 which isn't too |
| bad (with Rage lvl 3). Also his talent increases the chance of paralyzing |

| Analysis: | Stats |
| | |
| Another great hero. Witch-king has 32 HP (with | HP: 28 |
| Heavy Armor) which is very decent. With a max | SP: 9 |
| attack of 14 (with Morgul Mace, Armos Spikes, | |
| Shelob Poison and Rage lvl 3) he's simply a | Move: 3 |
| beast. Berserker Root allows him to attack two | Attack: 6 |
| enemy units in one turn. +15% Onslaught from | Range: 1 |
| Morgul Mace increases your chances of doing | |
| major damage one turn. | Morale: Fearless (0) |
| | Leadership: Average (0-3) |
| His skills are also quite nice. Terror | Talent: Shock |
| decreases the enemy's movements. Flurry is the |_____________________________|
| same as Sweep Attack, allowing you to attack |
| up to 4 enemies in one turn (however, keep in mind Witch-king has Range 1). |
| Rage just boosts his attack. Invulnerability makes it so only heroes can |
| kill him. Pretty useful when you're being attacked by anything but a hero. |
| |
| Also note that he has the Shock talent, which might paralyze units every |
| now and then. |
| |
| Witch-king makes for a good choice. Only downside to him is that he has no |

| Analysis: | Stats |
| | |
| 26 HP (with Heavy ARmor) is above average, so | HP: 22 |
| that's good. Mouth of Sauron can be a killer | SP: 12 |
| beast with 14 Attack (Morgul Blade, Armor | |
| Spikes, Rage lvl 3) and Berserker Root allows | Move: 3 |
| him to attack 2 enemies in one turn. Throw in | Attack: 6 |
| Strength of Mordor and you can make enemy | Range: 1 |
| units fall back 4 (should be 5, but code error | |
| makes it "only" 4) spaces if maxed out. Eye of | Morale: Average (4) |
| Sauron is to boost your flank's attack against | Leadership: Average (1-3) |
| enemy heroes. Intimidate is for gaining those | Talent: None |
| valuable extra CPs. Spoils of War gives you |_____________________________|
| yet another CP for when you need it. |

| This guy was kinda weird in the movies if | HP: 21 |

| | |
| 24 HP is not bad. With Range 5 and 7 Damage | HP: 20 |
| (8 Melee Damage) this has much potential. | SP: 8 |
| Using Hand of Saruman adds +1 attack for a | |

| | |
| 30 HP is way above average. 10 Attack (with | HP: 25 |

| have a Spoils of War to add to his CP though. | Range: 1 |

| 22 HP and 13 SP is not bad. What makes this | HP: 18 |
| secondary hero so great is his Intimidate | SP: 10 |

| Analysis: | Stats |
| | |
| Wormtongue's only purpose in life is to | HP: 9 |
| provide you with tons of CPs and SP. With 2-3 | SP: 8 |
| CP every turn and 11 SP (with Black Amulet) | |
| I'd say he does alright. However, his other | Move: 4 |
| life purpose is to attack once. That's right, | Attack: 3 |
| once. With Vial of Poison, Hand of Saruman, | Range: 1 |
| and Shelob Poison, he gets a one-time attack | |
| of 11. Otherwise his base attack si 3. Yeah, | Morale: Cowardly (7) |
| pathetic. | Leadership: Average (2-3) |
| | Talent: Regeneration |
| He does have Regeneration though, which might |_____________________________|
| help him survive one turn longer. He only gets |
| 9 HP, which makes him so pathetic in combat. Vial of Poison is the only |
| reason he can pull out one strong attack (+5 attack on his first attack). |
| |
| If you need CP, then Wormtongue is your man. Guaranteed at least 2 CP every |
| turn is pretty nice. Watch out though, he dies easily. |
