    The battles will be HUGE. Like you see in the film. You can control thousands of units at once. The trailer shows it all, you can control elepants, the flying dragons, anyone!, it looks brilliant.

    Just checked out a few previews, looking very promising.
    Both Minas Tirith and Helm's Deep will appear in the game, as will the huge siege weapons used by the forces of both good and evil. The forces of Mordor will smash their way into their enemies' keeps with the aid of siege towers and trebuchets that fire explosive volleys, while the men of Gondor will use wall-mounted catapults to keep their enemies at bay. However, as design director Dustin Browder explains, Battle for Middle-Earth will have more-developed siege elements that go beyond smashing walls. Battles will continue even after a castle's defenses are breached, in which case the attackers will have to deal with a new threat--traps. Castle owners will be able to garrison hidden archers in towers, queue up cauldrons of boiling oil, and keep heavy portcullises open and at the ready to invite unwitting invaders in.

    I await in anticipation :)
