The Lord of the Rings: Crusades

The Lord of the Rings: Crusades would be a game for most current systems, and the sequel to Lord of the Rings: Conquest. This is something I've been planning for a while, but forgot about until very recently. For the longest time, I've always been convinced that there should be a video game that accurately captures the feel of a battle between the forces of good and evil in the fantastical Lord of the Rings universe. Conquest, in my opinion, was a step in the right direction, and a good move by Pandemic, the company that made the original Star Wars Battlefront games. However, I still think they could have captured the fantasy atmosphere much better while still maintaining the strategic gameplay elements they were going for.

That's why I decided to make this idea; it would incorporate elements from Star Wars Battlefront, as well as games like Chivalry: Medieval Warfare and the more recent Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. My overall goal is to create an outline for a well-balanced tactical medieval battling game, but one that also does justice to its excellent source material.
