YMMV / The Lord of the Rings: Conquest

Go To

  • Accidental Innuendo: From the Osgiliath level of the War of the Ring campaign, "Ah, they will feel that. Such a pounding was worth the sacrifice!"
  • Complete Monster ("Rise of Sauron" campaign only): The Dark Lord Sauron sends the Nazgûl to Mount Doom to kill Frodo and deal with Orc rebels wanting to take the One Ring for themselves. Upon killing the Orc rebels, Sauron uses their blood to resurrect the Witch-king of Angmar, who kills Frodo and retrieves the One Ring for Sauron. Upon regaining the One Ring, Sauron overruns Gondor, destroying Minas Tirith and forcing Aragorn to flee to Weathertop; the population of Gondor being cannibalized by his Orc armies. He then resurrects Durin's Bane in Moria and sics it on Gimli. After conquering Moria, Sauron attacks Weathertop and Rivendell, killing Aragorn, Elrond, and Legolas and taking Elrond's ring for himself. With all of Middle-earth under his control, Sauron attacks the Shire, with his forces and Durin's Bane killing a large number of Hobbits to lure out Gandalf and Treebeard so he can kill them, the corpse of the latter being set on fire and used to burn any Hobbit that dares resist Sauron's rule.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: "Mage" is a selectable class which is... not how wizards work in the Legendarium. There are a grand total of five known wizards in the world, who aren't mortals that learned how to wield magic, but rather Maiar who have taken mortal form.
