2 new factions, new heroes, spells and units for original factions, new maps, and campaign-compatible. Shadow and Flame is a modern reimagining of BFME1, with improved graphics and new gameplay systems. Shadow and Flame has 6 factions to choose from; the 4 factions from the original game - Gondor, Rohan, Mordor and Isengard - have been overhauled with new mechanics, units, heroes and spells, and 2 new custom factions - Gundabad and Rivendell - have been added. The goal is to create an RTS experience that is faithful to the spirit of Tolkien's mythos, with diverse, engaging, and balanced gameplay.
