TreeBeard icon

Treebeard is an Ent hero available to Rohan in BFME 1 and to the Elves in BFME 2. His summoning place in BFME 1 depends on the patch version; it might be in the Citadel like with other heroes, or at the Ent Moot as in the vanilla version and in BFME 2.

Unlike most heroes, Treebeard starts out at max-level (level 10). He is functionally very similar to his fellow Ents (including being extremely vulnerable to fire attacks). Depending on the patch version, he might be slightly buffed compared to the vanilla game in form of giving morale bonus to his kin and being able to enrage on command.

One way or another, Treebeard is more durable version of an Ent - an already powerful unit.

Battle for Middle Earth 1[]

Overview[]

Treebeard's greatest advantage over other Ents is not using up command points (though this was changed in patch 1.09). This enables the player to use up his aviable points for more versitale units, which comes in handy mainly during battles with multiple players - when the command points available to each side are reduced for technical reasons.

Other than that, Treebeard is "only" significantly more durable than other Ents - this fact alone makes him far from useless.

Description
Throw Boulders/

Use fists

1 Treebeard switches between melee and ranged mode. His thrown projectiles will miss the intended target if it moves.
Morale (Patch 1.09) 1 Treebeard increases movement speed and throwing range of nearby ents.
Enrage (Patch 1.09) 1 Treebeard enrages (normally not controllable by player)

Recruitment[]

If in the given version Treebeard is available at the Ent Moot instead of the Citadel, he gives a powerful tactical advantage; being able to summon even more durable Ent to battle right at the main base of the enemy strenghtens the already good capability of performing surprise attacks.

Depending on the patch, Treebeard costs between 2400 and 3000 ressources (compared with 1500 for a normal Ent)

Lore[]

When Merry and Pippin escaped from their Uruk-hai captors they fled into the cover of the nearby Fangorn Forest. They quickly became lost in the woods and stumbled across a frightening creature in the form of a tall tree that vaguely resembled an old man. He introduced himself as Treebeard, and took the Hobbits into his care. The Hobbits attempted to enlist Treebeard's aid in the War of the Ring, however, the Ents are not easily stirred into action. It was not until Treebeard discovered that his neighbor Saruman had betrayed him by chopping down his forest that Treebeard was able to muster the might of his fellow Ents. By the time the Ents were finished with their march they had torn down the walls of Isengard and captured Orthanc, trapping Saruman inside.
