Will this game have classes?
Yes! There will be four classes: the Warrior, Scout, Mage and Archer.

Players will not be able to enhance or upgrade their character. Instead they will be rewarded by a hero/villain becoming playable.
What battlefields will I be able to fight on?
Check out our campaign levels page!
What game modes can we expect?
Check out our game modes page!
What about multiplayer?
All the above modes will be available in multiplayer. Only 16 human players are allowed in a game, however.
Only 16 players? Won’t battles be a bit small?
Not exactly. The human players are just a small but important part of battles of up to 150 (AI controlled) men.
Will I be able to play as Aragorn or Gandalf?
Yes! The game will offer a number of very powerful heroes to play as. In certain battles you can pick up a hero to defeat an enemy such as the Balrog – but in others – you have to first earn your marks on the battlefield before you are allowed to get inside on of the heroes!
See our heroes & classes page for a full list of all the heroes.
What about the evil heroes?
You’ll be able to play with signature Evil heroes like Saruman, Sauron and even the Balrog! See our heroes & classes page for more info.
Are there mounts? Can I fly!?
There are a number of in-game ‘vehicles’ you can use. Some of these are siege equipement such as Catapults or Rams, but also think about units such as ents, horses, wargs and the likes! You cannot fly, however. It is possible to call in help from your flying allies – the eagles for the good side an the fellbeast on the evil side.
Is there a Guardian class?
No. There is not a Guardian class. After much speculation, it has been told that no such class shall be made available to be playable in the game. It did exist at one point during development but was then merged with the warrior class.
