Back in the 1990s when I first played Civilization 2, the only two scenarios you got out of the box were WWII and the Rise of Rome. One of my favorite parts of Civilization, however, has always been the scenario feature where the game freezes or slows the technology progress for the purpose of showing the player a specific time period of history. Civilization the series has always managed to balance good game design – map, tech tree, and expansion mechanics – with a solid visual aesthetic to keep you entertained as you watch your people grow and prosper (and sometimes pillage). You progress from a single village just learning about agriculture all the way to a multi-city nation or empire (depends on how warmonger-y you’ve been) with railroads, planes, and a space program. You can help the Civilization Wiki by upgrading it.As previously mentioned, the strength of the Civilization series lies in its ability to communicate the broad arc of history and development. Middle-earth is a fantasy world and as such will include magic, dragons, and other mythical creatures. There are a lot of great civilizations that exist in the Middle-earth region due to the region's rich heritage. This page will mainly focus on the Middle-earth region from the past 6000 years and not include information from the Ancient Middle-earth version. But the Ancient Middle-earth was a completely different looking place so a different map has to be uploaded and have a scenario made for it. Recent Middle-earth is about 6000 years old, but if ancient Middle-earth was included it would span closer to 9000 years.

This scenario is played on a map called Middle-earth on a planet called Arda. The scenario was designed by Khose Galkin and released for Brave New World back in 2013, and is available through the Steam Workshop.

It is based on the Lord of the Rings franchise, which was written by J. Lord of the Rings is a scenario for Civilization V.
