HELMS DEEP
This map is different from any other Helms Deep because of many added features. In this version, Gondor has sent some aid before the attack and Mordor has joined in the assault. Among the two totally different armies added to play as, each faction has the ability to summon creatures and powers from ancient Middle Earth History. One example being Elves summoning eagles. Another new aspect is summoning heroes in totally different locations to your aid. For example, Elrond, Boromir, etc. On top of this, there are many optional and automatic very high quality cinematics. Below is a list of each faction and their powers, heroes and units. Ignore the giant space please. -No more information can be added because its expanding the showcase. A guide on units, powers, and heros for all factions, including Isengard and Mordor, will be available on the Spirit Studios website soon enough.- [This message has been edited by Cirrow (edited 01-21-2007 @ 08:10 PM).]
