Most of these are easy to do, to train the warriors just buy some from the barracks to the left of the place your at. and to get Gloin to level 2, when you see enemies make sure you put him in battle first, because if you choose to send every body in then Gloin wont be able to attack the Goblins/Spiders as he is the slowest character and will trail way behind everybody else.

Rescue Celduin - 15 points
Complete Good Celduin with all bonus objectives (Level 6)
Objectives:
1.Return to the Docks
2.Repel the Mumakil assault
3.Cross the shallows
4.Destroy the Mordor Fortress
5.Capture all Inns and Outposts
6.Dain must survive
7.Destroy all Mordor Catapults
This one can be an annoying level, all of the Inns and Outposts are before you cross the shallow's and so are a couple morder catapult's. You'll find most of the catapults while your clearing out the land (once you cross the shallows go EVERYWHERE on the map so you can get all of the catapults) three of them are past the Fortress, so dont pay any attention to it at first just find the rest of the catapults so you can get the objective complete.
Defend Erebor - 20 points
Complete Good Erebor with all bonus objectives (Level 7)
Objectives:
1.The Throne of Erebor must not fall
2.Defeat the first wave of Mordor attackers
3.Defeat the third wave of Mordor attackers
4.Defeat the third wave of Mordor attackers
5.Defeat the Mouth of Sauron and his retinue
6.Build a fortress in Dale
7.Build walls to defent Dale
This is a fairly easy level, throughout the level enemies will come from behind to attack the Throne of Erebor so make sure you get some sort of a wall guarding the Throne and get an army in there so you will be able to ward off the enemies that come in. Once the wall is built there's an upgrade that allows you to pass through that part of the wall, use that upgrade that way you can attack and destry the first wave of Mordor attackers, the second and third wave of Mordor attackers will greatly damage your wall so make sure you upgrade your fortress and add stuff on the black circles on the ground around your fortress.
Assault Dol Guldur - 30 points
Complete Good Dol Guldur with all bonus objectives (Level 8) Unlocks Hero: Idrial
Objectives:
1.Locate and capture the Northern Signal Fire
2.Locate and capture the Southern Signal Fire
3.Breach the fortress of Dol Guldur
4.Destroy all free-standing Mordor structures within Dol Guldur
5.Repel the Mordor counterattack
6.Seize all Signal Fires
7.Destroy all Spider Lairs
This level is a pain to complete, you must destroy pretty much everything inside Dol Guldur, while inside you will have catapults throwing rock and such to you to try to stop you, the ony people that can stop them are the Ent Moots, before you go inside send the Ent Moots ahead because there are two catapults that will bombard you right away if you dont destroy them. Capturing the signals fires and all that is self-explanitory.
Destroy Lothlorien - 5 points
Complete Evil Lorien with all bonus objectives (Level 1) Unlocks Hero: Krashnak
Objectives:
1.Build a Goblin Cave
2.Build Two Goblin hordes from the Cave
3.Build a Tunnel
4.Build a Fissure
5.Upgrade the Fissure to build Trolls
6.Build a Cave Troll from the upgraded Fissure
7.Cross the river and destroy the two Lothlorien Tree Houses
8.Destroy the stronghold of Lothlorien, Caras Galadhon
9.Free all 3 Giants
This level is real simple, the hardest thing is Freeing the Giants. One is near the stronghold of Lothlorien the first one is easy to come up to and the other is in a field somwhere, in order to free them you must defeat all of the armies that are there.
Demolish the Grey Havens - 5 points
Complete Evil Grey Havens with all bonus objectives (Level 2)
Objectives:
1.Capture the shipwright
2.Construct three Corsair Black Ships
3.Sink the Elven convoys fleeing the Grey Havens
4.Destroy the Elven Battle Towers defending the beach
5.Defend the transports
6.Defeat the Elves defending the beach
7.Destroy the three fortresses
8.Capture the Outpost
This is another easy level, the Outpost in on the piece of land that you start out on, it's in the corner use the Corsair Black Ships to Destroy the Battle Towers defending the beach and the third fortress you have to destroy using Bombardment ships, I suggest you build two then have them and your Corsair Black Ships go over, destroy the Elven ships then attack the last Fortress.
Scour the Shire - 10 points
Complete Evil Shire with all bonus objectives (Level 3)
Objectives:
1.Reach the Eastfarthing
2.Build a Fortress
3.Destroy all 4 Seats of Power
4.Defeat all Dundain
5.Kill Wormtongue
6.Destroy the Isengard Fortress
7.Destroy the Green Dragon Inn
8.Destroy Bag End
This level is real simple if done correctly, once you reach the Eastfarthing you should have 3 of 4 of the seats of power destroyed, once you build your fortress STAY THERE, the rest of the Dundain come to you. Build a bunch of Lumber Mills near trees so you can get alot of money (I suggest about 4 or 5). Build Goblin Tunnels and a Fissure and upgrade them both to level 3 then when you get the money upgrade your fortress all the way also and build stuff on the black circles around the fortress, I suggest arrow dens as they also gain from the fire arrow upgrade and do alot of damage. once you have all that done and it says you have destroyed all Dundain then send 1 SMALL group over to the remaining seat of power, because once you destroy it thats when Wormtongue comes and will crush your base. There is also 1 or 2 catapults near the remaining seat of power (the last one should be up in the corner of the map) once you have destroyed it send the small group back to your fortress and ward off the enemies that come, once they stop go to where he is and destroy his builders and a bunch of his building, in the process you'll need to build more goblin warriors and Mountain Giants. Eventually you'll destroy his fortress and him.
Ravage Fornost - 10 points
Complete Evil Fornost with all bonus objectives (Level 4) Unlocks Hero: Thrugg
Objectives:
1.Destroy all defenses in the outer city
2.Destroy castle's citadel
3.Destroy the Earth Hammer
4.Capture the Inn
5.Capture the Signal Fire
6.Use Untaimed Allegiance on both of the Spider Lairs
This level can also get annoying at times, Untaimed Allegiance is a Power you have to buy, so buy that and don't attack the Spider Lairs and before you try to go into the place, send in some Mountain Giants to destroy the catapults, have them then break down the door while you send your army over the walls (the spiders have to wait till the Giants break the door down they cant do over the wall) and the rest is pretty easy from there.
Commandeer the Old Forest Road - 15 points
Complete Evil Mirkwood with all bonus objectives (Level 5)
Objectives:
1.Advance to the Old Forest Road in the North
2.Find another way across the river
3.Build and defend Towers in the designated spots before the Elves
4.Find and destroy the Ent base
5.Bring Shelob to tame the spiderlings
6.Find and destroy the Elven bases
This level is fairly easy to complete, just do what the objectives say and you'll be fine, not much to explain on this level.
The Dragons of Withered Heath - 15 points
Complete Evil Withered Heath with all bonus objectives (Level 6)
Objectives:
1.Build a Fortress&;nbsp;
2.Free all the drakes from the Dwarven bases
3.Find the Dragon Lord
4.Destroy all Dwarven Mine Shafts
This is another easy level, to make sure you destroyed all the mine shafts just look where you havn't found one yet and you should find one, when you get to the Dragon Lord he's being attacked but once you reach him they all disappear.
Pillage Erebor - 20 points
Complete Evil Erebor with all bonus objectives (Level 7)
Objectives:
1.Make room to build a base by destroying the buildings of Dale
2.Build a fortress worthy of Sauron
3.Kill King Dain
4.Destroy The Throne of Erebor
Yet again another simple, easy level. The hardest part would have to be destroying the buildings thats about the hardest thing on this level.

Objectives:
1.Penetrate the perimeter of Rivendell
2.Slay Arwen Evenstar
3.Slay the Fellowship and Elrond, Lord of Rivendell

5.The Dark Lord Sauron must not be vanquished
This seems like it would be hard but it really isnt, the hardest objectives to do is to slay Arwen, The Fellowship, and Elrond and to destroy Elrond's house along with surrounding fortresses and even thats fairly easy.
