An official expansion for the second installment in The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth series. It requires the basic version of the game to work. The Rise of the Witch-King expansion takes place between the War of the Last Alliance and the journey of the Fellowship of the Ring. This time the developers decided to be more creative and the game tells about the events that J.R.R. Tolkien described rather sparsely.

The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth II – The Rise of the Witch-King for PC is an official expansion for The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth II. It requires the core version of the game to work. This time the developers from EA Los Angeles decided to place the action between the War of the Last Alliance and the moment when Gandalf learns that the One Ring is in the hands of Bilbo. The events described in the game are strongly based on the invention of the authors who decided to greatly expand what was only briefly described by Tolkien.

Plot

The PC version of the expansion starts in the ancient, dark kingdom of Angmar which is ruled by the powerful Witch-King. Filled with lust for power and new conquests, the tyrant turns his eyes towards the kingdom of Arnor (the homeland of the ancestors of Aragorn). The player is tasked with playing the whole campaign, starting with fortifying the position in Angmar, through gathering a great army (which consists, among other units, of Thrall Masters, Sorcerers and Dark Dunedains), to leading an assault on the proud kingdom of Arnor.
