A new mini-campaign awaits you in 4.6.1, in which you lead the dwarves of Erebor back to their old home under the leadership of Durin VII. This campaign contains 5 missions, starting at the Lonely Mountain on the way to the Misty Mountains. Durin can only remain in his pre-expedition form, but has been given a new ability in return. In addition, he is accompanied only by the best soldiers of the dwarves, which is also reflected in the missions: Infantry units are all upgraded by one level, which means that standard infantry is now elite, elite infantry is now heroic and the stats and costs have all been adjusted accordingly. You must survive the journey through the Mirkwood, withstand the onslaught of orcs outside of and within the gates of Khazad-Dûm and finally venture deep into the ancient corridors to cleanse them of all evil.
Towerdefense
After a new tower defense map was added in 4.6, you can now play another variant with a similar system in 4.6.1. Mission: Lîdh Curunel puts your strategic skills to the test with a different look and a new layout. In addition, both maps benefit from several changes: The building sites have been visually embellished with their own models, while the new Gundabad tower offers additional possibilities for defence.
- Isengard Tower: -8% attack speed
- Isengard Tower Cripplestrike: armor reduction buffed from -25% to -30%, duration buffed from 15s to 25s, buildcost increased from 300 to 400
- Sorcery Tower: first AoE upgrade +125% area of effect, second AoE upgrade +30% area of effect, buildcost reduced by 100
- Resting Camp: +16% leash range for Elven Lords

- improved Carc's movement
- increased Sauron's health by 10% and killing him kills all enemy structures
Bugfixes und other changes
A large number of bugs have been fixed, which cannot all be listed individually here. Most notably, crashes caused by stone trolls in their death animation have been fixed so that the Misty Mountains can be selected in combat without worry. The same goes for the crashes in the War of the Ring mode when destroying Moria citadels, which have been fixed as well. In addition, as a result of your feedback, the Moria camp has been upgraded and now has four slots on which to build defensive towers to ward off aggressive enemies and small harassment forces. Finally, the tower guards of Gondor have received a visual makeover, giving them a new look. And last but not least, as always, there are a number of balance changes - especially the Misty Mountains have been adjusted by strengthening the expensive monsters and weakening the cheap orcs. Have fun exploring!
