The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 2

This game is a PC game for Windows XP and for Xbox 360. It is based on the movie, Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

There are a few changes from the original game and these are what they are.

They got rid of the orc laborer. There are new units for the old factions and heroes that are the wild men of Dunland, Sharku, Wormtounge, Fell beasts and Mouth of Sauron.

They combined Gondor and Rohan to make men of the west. Also there are no more Morodor Gronds and no more riders of Rohan. There are no more banner carriers.

There are new places and you can build anywhere, and new battles from the movie.

There’s three new teams: dwarves, elves and goblins. In these new teams, there are the goblin archers, goblin warriors and spiderlings, spider riders, half-troll marauders, cave trolls, mountain giants and fire drakes. The heroes are the goblin king, Shelob, Drogoth the dragon lord. For the elves, there are Rivendell lancers, mithlond, sentries, lorien warriors, the ents, Lorien archers, and mirkwood archers. The heroes are gorlifindel,

Arwen, haldir, Elrond, legolas, thrandruil, Galadriel, and treebeard. Then for dwarves, there are dwarven guardians, dwarven phalanx pikemen, dwarven axe throwers, men of dale archer horde, battle wagon, Iron

hills catapult, dwarven demolisher, and dwarven fortress. The heroes of the dwarves are King Dain, Gloin, and gimli.

My favorite team is the dwarves. I’ll tell you a little bit about them. The dwarfs are the best besieging team because of their demolishers and catapults. King Dain is good at giving leadership points. Gimli is a one dwarf army because of his slayer spell.

The elves have a ring hero on their side, but they still have to find the one ring. The elves are best at destroying armies because their very powerful archers. If you don’t like to take your time, try the goblins out. You can create your own hero or map.

You can play up to eight players online which is cool because you don’t all have to be in one place. You can play on the Xbox360 one player, or online with four players.

We’re about to buy this game. I know it’s full of good navy battles. It’s mainly like Age of Empires except better.

Learning about the Moghul Dynasty

[A.D. 1526-1530] His enemies called him Babur the tiger. Babur was a descendant from Genghis Khan. Babur was banished from his homeland by a rival ruler. He heard a sultan conquered the city of Delhi so he wanted it for himself. He attacked the city of Delhi. He attacked with 12,000 horse riders armed with muskets. The sultan defended with 100,000 men and 1,000 war elepants. Although outnumbered, Babur won with his fast horses and muskets. Then during Babur's reign over the city of Delhi, he made a garden. He called it the garden of scattered flowers. The Indians called the garden ram bagh. He fed the garden with a water wheel. You can still see the remains of the garden in the city of Agra in India.

Heidi's first BLog Post

I love puppies. They are so cute. They are my favorite animals in the whole world. I used to have a puppy named Ami. Ami was a miniature Dachshund. I loved her very much. She was my friend. I miss her very much. I wish I could see her again. I had another puppy and he's now a year and a half old dog. His name is 'Tit Frere, which is French for Little Brother. 'Tit Frere is a German Rottweiler. He is so crazy. He runs into the walls. He's so tall he can almost touch my big brother's head. I love him very much even though he's crazy. He is so funny. We play games with him. He won't give back the frizzby. He wants to jump on the trampoline with us sometimes. My dog likes playing with the cats but the cats always win. My dog likes to go in our lake. Sometimes, my dog falls in the pool. He shakes when he gets out of the pool and gets everyone wet.
