Many of the notes that Tolkien made regarding the war are used as missions in the games campaign and epilogue.

The story for The Rise of the Witch-king draws a great deal upon the Appendices at the end of the Return of the King to form a basis for the conflict between Arnor and Angmar. An epilogue mission allows the player to command the forces of Gondor and the Elves as they invade Angmar in retaliation for destroying Arnor. The campaign allows the player to command the army of Angmar from its foundation and early attacks against Arnor, to the destruction of Arnor at the battle of Fornost. The Rise of the Witch-king was shipped to stores in the United States on Novemand was officially released on November 30, 2006. The Rise of the Witch-king is the official expansion to The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II, which was published by the same company and released in 2006, for Microsoft Windows.

With the War Of The Ring turnbased campaign also receiving some minor though effective tweaks, this is one add-on pack you should snap up like a slavering Warg.The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II: The Rise of the Witch-king (aka LOTRBFME2ROTWK) is a real-time strategy video game published by Electronic Arts, based on the Lord of the Rings film series based on the book, directed by Peter Jackson. However, be warned: Witch-King's epic battles are far more power hungry than its predecessor's, and you'll need at least a 256MB 3D card to truly enjoy them.

Some excellent new units, including Snow Trolls that hammer through enemy ranks like legions of charging cavalry, coupled with an array of imaginative new Heroes provide plenty of variety, while the proactive Al and numerous hotspots on many maps give missions that frenetic edge so sorely missing from the full version. The plot is also worth an honourable mention, admirably charting the Witch-king of Angmar's invasion of Amor. So what's different? Well for starters, the tedious, overly linear and one-dimensional trawls that passed themselves off as battlefields in BFME2 have been replaced by far more challenging skirmishes, which stretch your strategic prowess to far greater lengths than before, if never quite pushing you to your limits. Then again, perhaps it isn't such a shock, given that this add-on is a PC-only title, unlike the console-orientated The Lord of The Rings: The Battle For Middle-Earth II. No, not that there's still enough room to fit a review on this page after the longest title in gaming history, but that this expansion pack is actually better than the original game.
