Ringheroes in Edain

Note:"Ring Heroes must now pick up the Ring themselves. The Ring cannot be picked up by other units. If the ring rests on the ground without a ringbearer it, will disappear after a little while."

Gondor/Arnor

Gandalf The Grey (Gondor/Arnor)

If Gandalf acquires the One Ring while being Grey he will use the ring for his own needs and become "corrupt". He will weaken allies in his presence and will damage them over time. He also loses a lot of speed and the ability to ride Shadowfax.

Gandalf the White (Gondor)

Should Gandalf acquire the ring while being White he will use the One Ring for the well being of all Men. Heroes and units close to Gandalf will be healed. His abilities will become much more powerful.

Boromir (Gondor)

Should Boromir take the ring, he will use it to defend Gondor from being destroyed. He will be able to permanently summon strong units but the One Ring will kill him in after a certain amount of time. When the One Ring takes his life, the player will not be able to use any of Gondor's buildings (and will not be able to build anything) for 30 seconds.

Arvedui (Arnor)

Arvedui accepts massive losses in battle to find the worthiest soldiers, and his new abilities support heroes while weakening normal troops

Rohan

Theoden the Corrupted

Theoden becomes Grima's puppet. He follows Grima as a mindless slave. Grima becomes controllable, and can use the same abilities as Corrupted Theoden with much stronger effects.

Glorious Theoden

Theoden can choose between 4 abilities, each granting a special effect but weakening his armor and speed.

Lothlorien

Queen Of Storms (Galadriel)

Should Galadriel accept the One Ring and use it, she will become a Queen of storms, gaining many powerful new abilities. Mallorn Trees will be able to research a useful defensive specialization. However, allies will be debuffed while inside the fortress and while near to Galadriel.

Queen Galadriel

If Galadriel rejects the One Ring, she will become blessed by the Valar. She will gain improved versions of her abilities, along with a new ability and leadership. Frodo and Sam will also become recruitable from the Citadel.

Dwarves

Dain (Iron Hills)

Dain takes the Ring for himself, giving into his rage and gaining increased stats. He loses any passive health regeneration, but heals with every strike and gains new destructive abilities that turn him into an unstoppable berserker.

King Dain (Erebor)

Dain is older and wiser now and does not take the Ring for himself. Instead, his descendant Durin VII. will step forward and claim the One Ring, going on his journey to reclaim the lost dwarven kingdom of Khazad-Dûm. This final incarnation of the legendary Forefather of the dwarves has to successfully complete his quest to Moria, but will be rewarded by powerful abilities and permanent access to Mithril.

Thorin Oakenshield (Ered Luin)

Thorin takes the Ring for himself and gains increased stats. Along with that troops nearby him now loot big amounts of slain units but production buildings are severely debuffed.

Imladris

Elrond

Elrond will give the Ring to the Fellowship, allowing them to fight by his side. He will not gain any sort of new abilities or increased stats but it will summos the Fellowship of the Ring Hero Battalion.

Isengard

Saruman
Saruman will become either 'Saruman the Blessed” or “Saruman the Cursed”. As Saruman the Blessed he will become lordly, alike to the power of the Valar, and gain powers of Lightning and Air magic, as well as infantry support skills. As Saruman the Cursed he will become twisted and dark, and gain powerful Fire magic and structural support skills.

Mordor

The Necromancer
The Necromancer is Sauron itself in a Necromancer form. When he takes the One Ring back he will take his old form as the Dark Lord but not all his powers will be restored. He need's the ability Power Of The Past Age to restore all of his powers and to cast a shadow over Middle Earth and to start the Fourth Age as the Dark Lord ruler of all.

Misty Mountains

Smaug

Smaug, greatest calamity of his age, will become even greedier once finding the One Ring. He constantly sets the ground around him ablaze, burning friend and foe alike. His stats increase the more gold the player hoards, and his abilities and attacks will generate plenty of new riches.

Angmar

The Witch King
If the Witch King receives the One Ring he will cast an everlasting winter on everyone and everything. All effects of his ability 'Favor of the Witch-King' increase in power, allowing the recruitment of new units and buildings, and he unleashes his full might as the powerful sorcerer that brought ruin to the kingdom of Arnor.
