War of the Ring has come along well since E3--we were informed that all of the game's levels are complete and implemented, and that much more of the game's units and scenery have been added, including the gigantic fortress of Dol'Godor, which lies at the heart of Mirkwood Forest.
However, since War of the Rings is also a new real-time strategy game, it will have modern real-time strategy features, such as "aura" effects for each hero unit that improve the strength, speed, or some other aspect of any nearby friendly troops, similar to the "auras" of Warlords Battlecry and Warcraft III.
War of the Ring is scheduled for release later this year.

The war was fought between the Free (a loose alliance of Elves and Men led by the Wise) and Sauron the Dark Lord, with Saruman as a third power based in Orthanc.
The War did not end with the defeat of Sauron, for Saruman fled northward after the capture of Orthanc, and established himself in the Shire, bending the Hobbits to his will by threat of violence and the persuasive power of his voice.
With the destruction of the One Ring, the Three Rings that had maintained the realms of the Elves in Middle-earth lost their power, and the Elves began to leave Middle-earth for the Undying Lands.

 princeofcairo: [REVIEW] War of the Ring by Maggi, Nepitello, and Di Meglio
I found the core of the War of the Ring game to be cool, but I actually think the Tolkien-fannishness of the designers harmed the final game.

So in War of the Ring, you have to tear your hair out just like you did in the books, waiting for the Rohan guys to decide, ok, Westfold is genocide.
