My favorite and most played game of all time is still Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth 2- The Rise of the Witch King which came out in 2006. I'd kill for a modern remake. There are modern RTS games but they just aren't the same.

And that game isn't available anywhere, stuck in IP hell

It was super duper easy to download a pirated version online last time I checked but I still have my original install disks so I haven't done it myself

Yeah someone made a whole download manager and patcher for BFME1 and 2 and RotWK.

www.moddb.com/mods/battle-for-middle-earth-patch-222/downloads/patch-222

Download and install the BFME games (BFME1/BFME2/RotWK) without the need of a cd • Update all your patches automatically • Manage all your downloaded mod‘s • Play the BFME games or mods online all of that listed features are completely for free and more features will follow up in the future!

It worked fairly well last time I used it.
