Better than the original overall, gameplay wise espetially, but worse campaign wise. Still like it is a better game than the original, and I love the original game, because of the Dwarves and Goblins. Also the conquest map (or whatever it was called) was a great addition and made the game much more enjoyable experience. Would greatly apreciate iff this allongside the first game ( and, if possible, the expansion) would be added to the preservation program. Also am I the only one who build the gondorian ranger stacks and unsuccesfully atempted to use stealth in any situation, even when it was far beyond sub-optimal solution, simply because it was fun.
