The team behind this project is introducing The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth franchise to a brand new game engine - Unreal Engine 4. Relive the magic that made this franchise stand out in the RTS genre in glorious high definition. Unlike other projects that are modifications made to the original SAGE engine, The Battle for Middle-Earth: Reforged is being completely rebuilt in every aspect in Unreal Engine 4. Prepare for a completely new experience in the greatest addition to The Battle for Middle-Earth franchise that has ever been attempted. The Battle for Middle-Earth: Reforged is a non-commercial fan project currently under development. All rights belong to their respective owners.
The concept has quite a story behind it and the work on it was caused by many contradictions between the book and movie lore.
The thing is though Dain Ironfoot is a mighty warrior in both book and movie versions, in the book he is described as a wise king of dwarves who does not rush into an open confrontation even with forces of evil. And it is in that sense his movie image differs massively as in the Battle of the Five Armies he looks more like a barbarian king both on outside and inside.
While we treat the legendary Peter Jackson and his team with outmost respect, we consider such choice to be wrong and cannot accept it, that is why we decided to do our best to make his image closer to the book one. Not only give the king of dwarves a worthy set of armor and highlight his might but also capture his great wisdom.
