The Hill Trolls Angmar can summon wield hammers in combat, and are effective against most enemies and structures.

Snow Trolls are smaller and faster than their cousins, covered in white fur and carrying bladed-pickaxes. They serve as a form of Cavalry, something which Angmar lacks.

* AllTrollsAreDifferent: Trolls generally keep to the Tolkien model of large, strong and unintelligent, but they tend to differ in some ways between Factions:
** Mordor has Mountain Trolls, which serve as their main shock-troops. Unlike in the base game, they cannot throw rocks or eat hapless Orcs, but are now able to be equipped with armour and weapons. Mountain Trolls can be given a mace, giving them increased area-of-effect attack, a sword, increasing damage against heroes and other monsters, or a hammer, increasing their damage against buildings. Mordor also has Drummer Trolls, which increase the morale and damage of nearby allies and can cause enemies to flee in terror, but are ineffective in combat. Lastly, there's Mollok, based off the Troll Aragorn fought at the Black Gate (which itself is based on the Troll-Chieftain Pippin killed in the Books). Mountain Trolls are also used to operate Catapults, Siege Towers and Grond.
** Misty Mountains utilizes several different breeds of Troll. Cave Trolls can be trained from the Monster Cage of the Moria Camp, and function the same as in the base game, able to throw boulders or use their bare hands in combat. Stone Trolls are recruited from the Troll-Lair Settlement Building, and cannot throw rocks. Mountain Giants can be accessed from the Fissure Outpost Building, and can hurl large boulders over long distances, or engage in Melee and scatter enemies with their Stomp ability. Lastly, Tom, Bert and William, the Three Trolls from the Hobbit, can also be recruited from the Troll-Lair, and serve as the damage-absorbing Hero for the Misty Mountains.

* TacticalSuperweaponUnit: Ring-Heroes are this. Of you manage to find and kill Gollum and bring a Hero (specific to each Faction) to the Ring, expect to destroy nearly anything that comes your way. Some examples include:
** Gandalf the Corrupted, the result of Gandalf the Grey being tested by the temptation of the One Ring and ''failing''. His mere presence terrifies friend and foe alike, and his once light-themed powers have turned to fire.
** On the other hand, there's Gandalf the Challenge-Master. Where Gandalf the Grey failed at mastering the weapon of the enemy, Gandalf the White managed to succeed. He now glows with the power of the Maiar. Nearby allies will gain hope and be continously healed, and his powers will cause enemies to cower in fear.
** Storm-Queen Galadriel. Much like Gandalf the Corrupted, this is what happens when a powerful being falls to darkness. In this form, "terrible as the seas" and "stronger than the foundations of the earth" can be taken literally. As in, the Storm-Queen will ''literally'' drown her enemies in a flood while burying their castles beneath the ground.
** Saruman will randomely take one of two forms when he gains the Ring. "Saruman the Blessed" hurls lightning bolts and empowers his forces, whereas "Saruman the Cursed" unleashes fire and has fallen fully into industry, using his new power to advance his structures.
** Sauron, the Lord of the Rings ''himself''. Most Heroes, even Ring-Heroes, have only five powers. Sauron? He has ''ten!'' This includes taking control of enemy armies, calling down flaming meteors from the sky, and the ability to summon his terrible fortress from the ''first age''!
** Some ultimate spellbook-summons are also this. One notable example is the Balrog, summoned by the Misty Mountains, which is able to lay waste to armies in only a few seconds.

* StrategicAssetCaptureMechanic: This is a mechanic all the way from the first BFME that the Mod reintroduced for the second game. These plots can be captured by bringing units near to them, allowing you to build one of a selection of structures in its place. Once the structure is destroyed, the plot returns to being captureable by any Player. There are three types of captureable plots:
** Settlements are the smallest and most common types. All Factions' can most commonly build two types of resource-producing structures and one-to-two types of defensive or support buildings. Gondor, for example, can choose to build a resource-producing Farm, a resource-producing/unit training Ranger Camp, and a unit-producing Signal Fire.
** Outposts are larger and less common. Most maps only have two. Factions' can use these to build either their own Outpost (which serves as a base with less building options) or other types of fortresses, usually belonging to sub-Factions. Taking Gondor as another example, which can build a Dol Amroth Border Stronghold, allowing recruitment of Dol Amroth units and Heroes.
** Lastly, there is the Camp/Castle plot, which allows the main base of a Faction to be built. These only appear after destroying a Player's base (or if a Player-slot is left empty when beginning a game).
** There are also captureable Shipwrights in certain maps. These can be gained control over by sending a unit to capture the structure flag.
