Introduction

Hello and welcome to my blog on Lord of the Rings - Rise to War the mobile game.
I'm Lady Death, also known as LD. Some know me by my previous game/discord name Vicky. 

Since many years I have been playing (online) games. From simple puzzle games, over management and city builders to shooters and war games. I don't consider myself a hard core gamer, but I enjoy it a lot and it is nice to dive into the depth of game mechanics - especially together with peers in a thriving community. 

In all online multiplayer games I ended up at least partially into some way of administration for the group and creating spreadsheet, whether that be on player growth, development, activity, roster or on game mechanic topics like cataloguing keeps, gear, troops, buildings, etc. 

In September 2021, a few fellow members from another game and I waited anxiously for the release of Lord of the Rings - Rise to War. I stayed up all night. We started in Server 10 (special) - a server where all available factions were populated by actual players.
I played throughout my workday and was hooked right away. Together we found out how the game worked and it has been a fun journey.

Ever since day one I started collecting data. First on a discord server (which has long been dead), then in spreadsheet. Across the seasons I started writing little guides for newer players or less experienced ones. I'm not the biggest in theory crafting. I know my share, esp with my favourite commanders, but others are much better at this than I am. My strength is bringing things in order and organise them. Writing guides - hopefully easy to understand and well structured. 

It is a pity if only a small amount of people can see all the info and knowledge that has been gathered. That's why I want to share these things. Of course there will be different approaches by different people. Some might disagree with how I like to play the game, but that is alright. All my guides are what works for me, what I found to be the best way to progress. And not always do I follow my own advise even though I know better. 😅

So, that's it for now. I hope you enjoy the ride. If you have any questions, feel free to message me also via discord: ladydeath1.
