War of the Ring
Berendir @ 19:40 EST

This looks to be an interesting game. It is just like War Craft 2, only there have been many changes made to it. Heres some info on War of the Ring:

"War of the Ring" is a Total Conversion of the game "WarCraft II: Tides of Darkness", and the expansion pack "Beyond the Dark Portal". It will feature new units, graphics, and missons based on the triology "Lord of the Rings" by the late Professor John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. The conversion is not ready yet, but a multiplayable beta will hopefully be released before the year 2000

Heres a little information about the differences between War craft 2, and War of the Ring.

WarCraft II is basically a strategy game, and so will WotR be, with a touch of some RPG. (Like guiding Gandalf to Dol Guldur)
WarCraft II: War of the Ring, or WotR for short, will change about everything in War2: New campaigns, multiplayer levels, unit graphics/names, and most important of all, unit statistics. Previously all the units had the same statistics; the Footman was the counterpart of the Grunt, Ogre counterpart to the Knight, and so on. Only thing separating the two races was the spells. This time has passed :)
