The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II - The Rise of the Witch-king is a real-time strategy computer game published by Electronic Arts. It is the expansion pack to The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II, from the same company. It was announced during The San Diego Comic-Con of 2006. There are several improvements. The main improvement is the new faction, Angmar. Other improvements to the game include new Olog-Hai class of custom hero, improvements to the existing factions, and new sub-heros. The three subclasses of Olog-Hai are Great Troll, formally Troll in the previous game, Snow Troll, and Hill Troll. The Good and Evil campaigns have been replaced with the single Angmar campaign. There have also been numerous improvements to the War of the Ring and Skirmish battles. The sub-heros belong to every faction except fot Angmar. The sub-heros are listed as such. Dwarvish Berzerkers, Mannish Knights of Dol Amaroth, Elfish Noldor Warriors, Mordorian Black Riders, Isengard Berzerkers, and Goblin Fire drake Brood. The sub-heros have a limit of only one to three allowed, depending on whitch type. Like the heros, the sub-heros learn skills at certain levels, although not as many. They can heal like heros, but if member dies, it will not respawn unless you use the heal spell.
