Games are usually split into genres; this is how a game is defined. A lot of games do not fit into one genre they sometimes cross into others. For example, The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II, is a cross between a turn-based strategy (TBS) game and a real-time strategy (RTS) game, Battle for Middle Earth II has used the good things about the both these genres, to create a effective and very good game.
In the War of the Ring mode you select the faction you want to be and, then you move to a battle map screen, it is a turn base game in which you move across the map of middle earth the map is split into 38 territories. The objective of the game is to move from one territory to the next defeating your enemy, the winner is the first faction to control all of middle earth. In the War of the Ring mode you get to move heroes, build-up bases, and create armies true out every turn. The real cool function of this War of the Ring mode is that you can decide to auto resolve the battle that last about 5 seconds, or actually dive into the map and fight an RTS battle in the level of region you are in on the map.
In the RTS mode you have an awesome base building experience you can build any were you want on the map and build any structure, that bring it to were every other RTS game is, but the walls in this game are every different from other RTS games, it allows you to lay down a wall every easily, and upgrade each segment of the wall, with a defensive upgrade. The upgrades differ with each faction. And also the upgradeable fortress which are like the heart of the base you can put all kind of upgrades on it trebuchets arrow tower building you can garrison, wall hubs that can then build walls off of and extend around your base, and deepening on which faction you are you can get lots of interesting upgrades, you can then upgrade the fortresses which allows it to have stronger defences or attack also give unit that are close bonuses, and then final a central monument which give each fortress for each side a special power.
The game also has a Create a Hero ability, which gives the player the chance to put him or herself into the game. It allows you to ask yourself: “if I was in middle earth what and who would I be?” you can customize appearance, colour, weaponry, powers and ability’s. it gives the chance to have your own custom RTS unit which is very cool.
