How many playable characters are there in The Lord of the Rings Conquest?

Answer 1

The makers of the game have said that all the characters from the films can be played. This includes, Aragorn, Gandalf, Boromir, Faramir, Legolas, Gimli, Merry, Frodo, Sam, Pippin, Theoden, Eomer, Eowyn, Elrond, Isildur, and Treebeard. For Evil: Nazgul, Witch-king, Mumakil, Trolls, Sauron, Balrog, Mouth of Sauron, Lurtz, Saruman. Some of these characters might not be playable, such as Eomer, Theoden, or Merry and Pippin, but there is that chance. The rest definitely will be playable. Each faction type (e.g. Rohan, Mordor) has four classes, Warrior, Archer, Scout, and Mage, each with their own unique abilities. Warriors are the swordsmen. Archers are the bowmen. Scouts are the stealth units. Mages are the magic units, blasting their enemies.
