Battle For Middle Earth 3?

If EA was to make another The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth game, what would you like to see in it?

I would like biger armies (like the ones that were featured on the BFME1 game case).

Better AI (instead of the computer rushing the player and working out a plan).

A map that is like the player made map that features all the key events of the film trilogy (but an official and better made version).

The armies were a bit bigger in the second game but they still didnt have the scope of the films (which was a major part of the battle sequences).

well from posts ive seen alot of people want the ability to put units onto the wallNunamaker

That would be good and that would allow them to put the seige towers back into the game (which they took out of BFME2) and ladders.

i really want BFME3 to be avaliable for windows vista

I think we'll see the 3rd one when the new movies will be released.gs_gear

Lol, what new movies? There were three books in the seires, all three have been made movies. The only other film coming is The Hobbit... which was a prequel on a much smaller scale.

? I can run BFME 2 on Vista.

I hope they make it so you can Download paches for the hero builder so you can make more diverse heros, and i didnt like the skins for the elves in bfme 2 i hope they make them look cooler, in bfme 2 they look like regular peasnts with a sword, and shield. Heck why not combine the elven swordsman and elven archer to make the elven warrior like they had in bfme 1 and make that their basic unit, that would be cool.

I definitely agree with these ideas. I also wish, though, that the 'evil' campaigns had better heroes. With the exception of Sauron (and you can't let Sauron die, which hurts his power substantially), the evil heroes are not very good.

you should try out the Lord of The Rings Total War mod if you want a massive scale. _Pedro_

Or you can try out the Special Extended Edition mod for TBFMEII:

Regarding the Question: What could be added to BFME3?

There is soooo much more that could be added.

What they would need to do is make it a prequel. This way, there could be different types of Elves (i.e. Sindar, Noldor, Edlar etc) as well the Dunedein, the three houses of men. And that preface could follow the true history of middle earth to some extent because they did fight each other from time to time. The main reason this would be so much better is because these elves were much stronger.

Accordingly the heros could be MUCH more expansive. Beren, Beleg Strongbow, Ongoliant, Turin, Feanor, Huan (would be sick!) and so on?!?! Obviously Feanor would defeat pretty much everyone (he did take on multiple Balrogs at the same time) so they would need to put a handicap and allow men to have more potiential command points and better structures etc.

Also, powers could make use of the Valar, Gothmog (King of Balrogs), which is a no-brainer. And/or, instead of getting the ring to return to your fortress, you bring back a Silmaril and you can summon Morgoth or Finwe.

EA, please do it!!!

I miss the BFME castles...stronger walls, more sieging, archers atop, nazgul taking out the walled catapults. Good stuff.

If battles lasted a little longer, perhaps...just more HP per unit, though keep certain attacks against certain units powerful (ie riding Rohan over orc archers).

Interesting gameplay? The first two bored me to tears.

I'd like to see the differentiation between the Gondorians and Rohirrim that was in the first game made again, and the powers on some of the heroes need re-vamping. Also, larger armies new buildings and more characerization on the create-a-hero feature would be nice. I really did enjoy this series and hope they make at least one more installment.

I would like to see the factions list look like this:

Gondor

Rohan

Elves (Double-faction between Mirkwood and Rivendell)

Erebor(Double-faction between Dwarves and Dale)

Arnor

Isengard

Mordor

Goblins

Men of the East (Double-faction between Haradwaith and Rhun)

Angmar

And I want there to be two seperate sets of maps from both games, as well as completely new maps- one for BFME1 gameplay and one for RotWK/BFME2 gameplay.

A new Inn System that applies to both of these sets of maps: Allying with specificly-designed factions. Gondor = Southern Fiefdoms, Rohan, and Arnor Survivors. Rohan = Minas Tirith, Southern Fiefdoms, and Lorien (the one-building minifaction that "Mirkwood Faction" activates). Elves = Dwarven, Dale, and Arnor Survivors. Erebor = Mirkwood, Rivendell, and Carrock version of Dale. Arnor = Rohan, Gondor, and Mithlond (the one-building minifaction that "Rivendell Faction" activates).Isengard = Dunland, Ruffians, and Goblins. Mordor = Harad, Rhun, and Angmar. Goblins = Isengard, Dunland, and Angmar. Men of the East = Khand*, Umbar, Sirayn (the jungle where Mumaks and Mahuds are from), Red Mountains, Mordor*, and Dorwinion. Angmar = Rhudaur, Gundabad, and Forodwaith. In which case, they'd have to allow Inns on every map ever made. One per player's my reccommendation.

* means you have to pay either way. Umbar and Sirayn are free if you choose Haradwaith, Red Mts and Dorwinion cost nothing if you choose Rhun

And that'sJUST for FACTIONS...

Would you like to see my ideas for tech trees?

there will be no bfme 3. EA lost the movie license and Warner Bros is planning to do a bunch of kiddy games with the license instead... Franko_3

God, I HATE Warner Brothers. I feel that they are too childish and stupid and have severe retardation and unfit for Tolkien-games. EA should use the licence to make the third BFME and then immediately give it to someone mature enough for Tolkien licencing. That is, either Bungie, Bethesda, Bioware, Obsidian, Lionhead, Ubisoft, or Eidos. Then, we can see medieval-twisted First-Person Shooters, expansive world Roll-playing Games, medieval-twisted across-planet FPS/RPG combos, same as previous only with just the main continent, Grow-your-character RPGs, assassin-based Action/Adventure, or hitman-based kill-for-pay games. OH, WAIT! Perhaps Rockstar could make an "underdeveloped government" A/A when EA is done!

Thanks for your constructive comments...fool.

BFME2 was a great game and the witch king was decent, but BFME3 could be all that 2 was not. There is so much they could add to a third one and make it one of the best RTS's ever. I also would like to see more factions, although you can't have endless factions and still have them retain their unique units and powers...there are only so many different units to go around...I would like to see some different multiplayer rules to be available. Instead of just everyone fights to destroy the other, I think there should be some different scenarios you can play...those are just a couple of things but there is so much they could do w/ a third BFME

Too be honest lets see if they actually get a decent game out, EA yeah well they can't exactly brag of that with most of the rubbish they released with the Lord of the rings licence.

Would be good to see a progressive strategy game which protrays it as it was in the films. That being Good being seriously outnumbered, gathering forces before going on to final battles. Would be really cool if you simply had the units it give you from the start and throughout each level added more units to your forces through recruitment and saving units scattered throughout the levels. All leading up to big epic battles in which every man you gathered has its use :P. I can only dream lol
