Lord Of The Rings - The Battle for Middle-Earth - PC
Locate the "ini.big" file in the game directory and open it with a text editor
such as Notepad. Search for the following string:
GoodCommandPointLimit = 300
EvilCommandPointLimit = 600
And ajust the amount to what you want.
It is a good idea to look below that string for more values to adjust, such as:
GoodCommandPointsBonus = 20
bonuses for every territory captures in living world
EvilCommandPointsBonus = 50
and add about 30 or so to each value, depending on how high you set your command
limit, as it will not be possible to reach 999 command in campaign when you only
get 20 or 50 bonuses per terrain.

and edit it accordingly.
Hint:
-----
STEP 1. select the map WOLD when playing skermish.
STEP 2. Close the gate and build 3 FARMS at the BACK of the castle.
when u get 200 recources buy the cheapest hero,pippin. when u get 4000 recources
buy legolas. put both heros on the wall of the castle.select pippin and enable
the elven cloak.open the gate and get legolas to kill all enemies within range.
pippin should rank up really quickly if done properly.legolas will also rank up
really fast but not as fast as pippin.
Hint:
-----
When playing skirmish or campain with gondor build 5 farms 3 wells (close gate first)
and 1 archery range, don't build a barracks, build 4 battalions of gondor archers and
don't upgrade them. By the time they have all been made u should send them out 1 by 1
until they are all killed. Build 8 battalions of rangers and give them fire arrows,
then put 2 battallions ofthem on each side of the gate (on the wall) and wait forthem
all to go up to level 3 and change them around with the others until they are all on
level 3 and send them all out to fight. EASY WIN!
Rohan Hint:
-----------
When playing with Rohan, build one Stable and on other places build farms. (6-7 i think)
Your gold will raise faster and faster.Now build Rohirrim, Rohirrim Archers and shield.
When youre out of command limits. Destroy the enemy forces. Hopi it helps!!!!
Hint:
-----
First close your gate then build a postern gate at the back of your camp then build
battle towers on every other wall post then send out a hero right outside the postern
gate the enemy will try to run around your castle to get him but will be shot down by
battle towers. If enemy's get to close just send the hero back inside the castle
[only works with Gondor/Rohan because of castle walls are needed.
Good campaign strategy:

army;after you beat the level Lothlorien you will play again with eomer;at your camp
build a stable,an armory and with the rest foundations build farms;train rohrimm warriors
and purchase shields,banners,blades and armor for all of your rohrimms(you'll have about
40 rohrimms)use these army on all levels and when you play the level when you also have
gandalf;build again as many rohrimms you can and fully upgrade them;this army will be
useful for you in helm's deep level;when you enter the part of the campaign with gondor
build for faramir only rangers from the forbidden pool and upgrade them with banners and
fire arrows;in the level minas tirith train only archers and keep them on the walls;build
trebuchets and a postern gate when the rohan army will arrive;get the rohan army into
the city;put the rohrimms on the stairs and the rohan archers on the walls;put also all
of your heroes on the walls;survive until aragorn arrives with his oathbreakers;then the
level with be done because the oathbreakers are invincible and you shall destroy the
mordor camps with ease;at the next level attack dagorlad with the rihan army,then in the
level black gate enter with gondor's forces;kill the archers on the gate then repel all
of the attacks from that positions,but get pippin to the middle camp that you must capture
it first;on the other camps build sentry towers;
GOOD ISENGARD:
--------------
get any ents you have except treebeard to destroy all the enemy uruk pits and get the
treasures to train more ents;you must take out the uruk crossbowmens with fire arrows
except the hordes that are on the dam;don't approach the dam;take out all of their walls
and gates,but do not attack the great tower in the centre;after you destroy their buildings
use the power to summon rohrimms and kill the crossbowmens near the dam;take all of your
ents,also treebeard and the ents that you have build to destroy the dam;it will be easy
because the enemy won't have any defenders(you can also build more ents by taking out the
lairs and collect the treasures)
Helm's deep:
------------
the mission helm's deep in good campaign is not easy;first we'll have to rely on eomer's
army;in the second level played with this army build a stable;an armory and on the rest
foundations build farms;train rohrimms and when you are out of command points;fully upgrade
them with shields and the other upgrades;in the mission where you have eomer and gandalf
build also rohrimms and when you're out of command points fully upgrade them,so you'll have
a great army;in the level helm's deep;build on the remaining foundation a well;an armory;a
stable and farms;train as many archers you can and upgrade them with fire arrows,heavy armor

the deeping wall,don's put nobody except gimli near the gate;some peasants will arrive and
you must defend them;use legolas to do this;do the same thing with the second group of
peasants and then get anyone into the fortress and close the gate;split your heroes near
the archers along the wall then make ready for battle;the first wave of attackers is very
easy to destroy;first take out their ladders approaching your wall;the second wave will bring
a battering ram;when the ram approach your gate get out gimli and use his axe throw power
to destroy it and then get gimli back into the fortress;don't forget to take out the ladders
first;the third and fourth wave will bring some explosive mines;be sure you take out this
mine before they will reach your wall;if you not you'll have to save the game before the
mines will arrive and if they destroy your wall;load the level when you have saved;they will
also bring some ballistas use your summon rohan allies power to get rohrimms and destroy
the ballistas;after this eomer's army will arrive and you can use it to take out the enemy
camps and win the level.
