In The Battle for Middle-earth II, forty-one different locations of Middle-earth can be used for Skirmishes, and are all conquerable territories in the War of the Ring mode. The playable factions included for Skirmish and War of the Ring mode in The Battle for Middle-earth II are: This time, the Campaign (which still contains a Good Campaign and an Evil Campaign) took place in the North to explain what happened during the films. 2 new Good factions were therefore introduced: Elves and Dwarves. A new Evil Faction was added in the Form of Goblins and many of the units and Heroes in for the Good factions in the first game joined together to become one big faction.

With the addition of a new difficulty level, The Battle for Middle-Earth II also added new factions and maps, as well as a system to create your own heroes in the PC versions. The game had a few slight differences from the original Battle for Middle-earth, like the controls and exclusion of build plots, but players soon forgot the old controls and will get used to the new ones. Electronic Arts released the game for the Xbox 360 and PC in the spring of 2006, along with a collector's edition for ten dollars more, and an Expansion pack later, named The Rise of the Witch-king. The second part in the Battle for Middle-earth series, The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II (abbreviated BFME 2), is a real-time strategy game just like its prequel.
