Partnership Update
This wikia has grown so much since it was started in October of 2012, and we appreciate all of your hard work. Everyone here is passionate about Hobbit Armies, and we know you’ll continue to make this wikia great. However, we do need to update you around the Official status of this community.
The “official community” partnership is ending, and we will be working this week to remove the remaining instances of it on the wikia. This will not impact any edits you’ve made or will be making in the future. The only changes you will notice is that the gold “Wikia” in your logo will be removed, and the Kabam authenticated users will no longer be a part of your admin team.
Wikia will still work to support your efforts to grow this community in the…
Help Build a LEGO Hobbit Personality Quiz
Calling all Tolkien fans! We need YOUR help to make a LEGO Hobbit personality quiz! To keep us entertained before the next movie and sets are out, we are going to make a personality quiz and you can find out who from The Hobbit you would be!
To help out, submit a question that you think belongs on a personality quiz! We want the final results to be Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, Gollum, Legolas, or Thorin Oakenshield so your question needs to be fairly vague to keep the mystery of the final result alive! When you submit your question, please include the result for each answer option. For example,
What is your favorite kind of food?
a) A five course meal! - Bilbo
b) Anything that goes well with my pipe-weed - Gandalf
c) Anything vegetarian - Legolas

Official Shadow of Mordor Community Unveiled
Be one of the first to check out at the official community for Shadow of Mordor, the upcoming Lord of the Rings video game from Monolith Studios.
The newly launched Shadow of Mordor community is "official," which means you’ll be among the first to see new trailers, images and gameplay footage, as well as hear all the latest on the title as it develops. Perhaps more impressive, however, is the direct line you’ll have to the game’s creators. We’re talking exclusive Q&As, developer chats, and blogs up the yin-yang!

Hello All ^ ^
Hello everyone, I am new to this wiki and thought I should introduce myself (you guys probably won't even care). So you all might be wondering why some chick with the name including "swag" in it has joined this sort of wiki. Well let me just say it's because I love The Hobbit ^_^! I've read the book twice and for the movie, countless times. I can never get it out of my head. And yes I love The Lord of the Rings. I know this might be weird..... but I've watched the extended version of each movie in one day. lol I'm so weird XD
So yeah I hope you guys read this and please don't judge me because of my name :/
Level 10 Fletching & Level 10 Metal Alloys
Many people think that these levels do nothing, but consider this....if you have a level 10 WatchTower it shows the research levels of the incoming force BUT only four researches. Namely Vigor, Honed Blades, Fletching and Metal Alloys. Also in this games alter-ego Kingdoms of Camelot....Fletching gives increased attack range in the battle algorithm itself and Metal Alloys gives a '+5%' each level to defence. I figure it should be the same....and as it shows ONLY these research levels on WatchTower reports then the battle calculator needs kinda re-writing...as does various sections of this guide. I am of course available for assistance but we need the concrete facts on this. It all makes sense as Im sure you'll agree. :)

Interesting Fact I just Learned!
Well hello everyone!
This is my first Blog post and I shall try to update this as often as I can!
Today I learned that Porters are the only Supply Troop to be able to plunder Gold from Goblin Camps and other players!!
Even I, an experienced player, did not know this simple fact!!
This puts truth to the saying, you can learn something new every day, and in the end, still not know everything!!!
Does anyone know how to edit a certain thing?
I cant figure out how to edit a details box. Does anyone know how to?
