There have also been numerous improvements to the War of the Ring and Skirmish battles. The Good and Evil campaigns have been replaced with the single Angmar campaign. The three sub-classes of Olog-Hai are the Great Troll, the Troll in the previous game, the Snow Troll, and the Hill Troll. Other improvements to the game include the new Olog-Hai class of custom hero, improvements to the existing factions, and new hero units. The main improvement is the new faction, Angmar.

Differences from The Battle for Middle-earth II While semi accurate or even impeccably accurate the publishers did take some liberties especially in the names of characters that do not exist or that were never given a name. However, Prince Eärnur of Gondor, Glorfindel and Elrond make a final attack in Angmar, slaying all the Witch King's servants. After several years, the force of Angmar prepares for a last attack: the siege of Fornost. Meanwhile, Glorfindel attacks Carn Dum, and the forces of Angmar are weakened. After the fortress of Carn Dum is constructed, the Witch-King conquers Rhudaur and Cardolan. The Campaign is set in Angmar, where the Witch-King must unite the Black Númenóreans and the Trolls in order to create a massive army to fight against Arnor.
