Two forces fight each other over the city Minas Tirith. Minas Tirith must protect the White Tree at any cost until the Army of the Dead arrives. Sauron's Forces have to destroy the White Tree before the Army of the Dead arrives and kills them all.
Every player can choose one hero from a number of characters from the Lord of the Ring movies. Each hero can only be chosen once. When the hero dies he/she is revived automatically. You can repick your hero and he/she will keep the XP and items.
Every player has to train units which spawn automatically and cost only food. Minas Tirith players can control Gates and Trebuchets to defend the city. The gates of the city can be opened/closed by Gondor players.
Killing hostile units and heroes gives the players gold. There is no automatic income. Gold is only used for buying items and upgrading units.
The following events will happpen after a fixed time:
- Ride of the Rohirim and Haradrim arrive with Mumakil
- The Army of the Dead arrives
The unit training happens automatically other than in Warcraft III: Reforged. You just have to choose the unit types which are enabled. Units will spawn automatically every X seconds. The spawned units will automatically follow your rally point unit.
