Building the equivalent of a farm not only generates wealth, but it also increases the number of available command points to spend on units. One distinguishing feature is that resource gathering is designed to be simple and self-sufficient, with the emphasis placed instead on battlefield tactics. Though each mode offers something different, the core game follows established genre conventions in the building phase, where individual structures are purchased and erected anywhere on the land to generate various unit types. Battle for Middle-earth II includes good and evil single-player campaigns, a turn-based War of the Ring mode that involves conquering territory on a dynamic world map, and skirmish options for players to select maps, opponents, and starting conditions. Men, dwarves, and elves are pitted against goblins and the dark forces of both Isenguard and Mordor, with each faction offering its own technology, powers, buildings, and units to master. Players will command one of six factions in a choice of game modes. Fans will return to the besieged world of Middle-earth to actively participate in the War of the North, where dwarves and elves struggle to repel invasions in the Misty Mountains, Dol Guldur, Mirkwood, Rivendell, and other notable locales. This sequel to 2004's real-time strategy game from publisher Electronic Arts expands on the events depicted in New Line Cinema's film trilogy to incorporate scenes, characters, and battles found in J.R.R.

This causes the camera to zoom in more to the ground cause it keeps thinking in 4:3 aspect ratio = resulting an disadvantage to play. Take a look at the picture below, as you can see the wide screens stretch out in width more than in height.

Zoom-out/MapsWS Is created cause the game only supports 4:3 aspect ratios.

All threads I have found on the subject of changing the zoom are 5+ yrs old, and all links for a file to fix it are dead. Finally have a working copy of Battle for middle earth 2, but the game is only optimized for 4:3 TVs so the zoom is terrible on a widescreen.
