The Army of the Dead fullfilled the role of the superweapon for the force of Man, they can destroy vast armies alone, gliding through any types of units while seemingly sap the life of them at a rapid rate while being nigh-invincible against retaliatory attack. However they lasts for only two minutes and deals little to no damage to buildings.
The Army of the Dead is summonable in all The Battle for Middle-earth games, as the most expensive Power for Gondor and Rohan in the first game.
In the Return of the King video game, the dead army glows a more blue color, and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are all able to harm them. Two levels feature the dead army, one the Paths of the dead where Aragorn and his companions fight their way through the paths of the dead, and the other the King of the dead where Aragorn fights the dead king.

Army of Thieves is, in fact, a prequel to Army of the Dead. Although Army of the Dead was released before, the events it depicts take place after Army of Thieves. Taking the timeline into consideration, Thieves takes place six years before the main plot of Dead.
This huge detail could help explain Tanaka's true plan in Army of the Dead. Though Hiroyuki Sanada's character quests Scott Ward to reclaim his casino loot, Bly Tanaka secretly plots to collect the head of an alpha zombie, which is apparently worth much more than the contents of his vault.
Because Dieter pushed Vanderohe into the Götterdämmerung, Vanderohe survived – but was also replaced with another version of himself from a different time. This could explain why Vanderohe never gets bit by a zombie in the whole movie but ends up with a bite in the epilogue.
In Army of the Dead, Alpha king Zeus is forming his own army of smarter, faster, stronger Alpha zombies, and he has a careful selection process. In Army of the Dead, the society of Alpha zombies wasn't bitten at random, they're carefully selected by Zeus (Richard Cetrone).
There's a moment during Army of the Dead when a team led by former mercenary Scott Ward (Dave Bautista), on a mission to recover a casino owner's cash from a vault in ruined, zombie-ravaged Las Vegas, comes upon the remains of a previous team seemingly sent into the city for the same reason.
The Zombie King is voiced by Mark Barrett and Chris Sampson according to the credits. In the credits and in the Travel Log, this zombie is called "King Zombie." This may be a reference to Henry VII because just like the Zombie King, Henry VII can't move as he's too fat.
Army of the Dead star Omari Hardwick has opened up about the film's cliffhanger ending. In Zack Snyder's new zombie heist movie for Netflix, Hardwick's character Vanderohe finds himself in a private plane's bathroom before realising he has been bitten by a zombie.
Almost the entire team hired to head into Las Vegas in Army of the Dead are killed by time the film is complete. The only two members to survive until the end of the film were Kate and Vanderohe, with everyone else suffering various, gruesome fates.
Brienne of Tarth When Jaime knighted Brienne in “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” some fans felt as though he might as well have signed her death warrant. But luckily, Sunday's episode proved them wrong. The Stark sisters' beloved protector was able to hold off the army of the dead until Arya saved the day.
He volunteered to participate in Torrance's experiment with an alien sickness, which would unexpectedly lead to him becoming the first zombie.
Before the outbreak Not much is known about Zeus' past life, although it is speculated that he worked at Area 51 and became infected with a virus of unknown origins, turning him into a zombie with superhuman strength that retained some intelligence.
The simplest explanation is the blue-eyed zombies in Army of the Dead aren't zombies at all. They are actually robots that are living in the zombie kingdom of Las Vegas. At first, it seems like a fluke that somehow got through post-production.
While Isildur's prophecy that "you shall be summoned once again ere the end," does eventually come true, it takes more than 3,000 years for that day to arrive.
The Army of the Dead's hugely powerful capabilities are put on full display shortly afterward, when Aragorn pulls up to the docks outside of Minas Tirith and opens up a can of bright green ghosts on the Orcs and men attacking the city.
In the films, Elrond arrives, gives Aragorn his sword, Andúril, tells him about the fleet of black ships sailed by the Corsairs of Umbar, and encourages him to take the Paths of the Dead to head off the threat.
However, Sauron's reign is abruptly ended when a massive army of Númenóreans arrives on the mainland. Playing the long game, the Dark Lord surrenders to them and is taken back to their island nation, where Sauron slowly corrupts the mind of their king.
This leads to an all-out grudge match across the continent as the Elves, Dwarves, and occasionally the Númenóreans try to stop Sauron from conquering everything in sight. While the Elves and Dwarves often have a rough go of it, every time the Númenóreans show up, it's lights out.
Together, the group travels the Paths of the Dead where they only survive the terror thanks to Aragorn's indomitable willpower. Once they get through the mountains, Aragorn summons the Army of the Dead to the Stone of Erech, tells them who he is, and orders them to follow him.
During this time, a prosperous nation of men set up their society on a large island called Númenor, out in the ocean to the west of Middle-earth. They are led by a line of kings founded by Elrond's brother, Elros.
The Army of the Dead attacked first the ships that were still anchored, and then walked over the water to the ones that had set sail. The terrified Corsairs abandoned their ships and jumped overboard; all either drowned or headed south back to their homelands.
Led by the King of the Dead, the Dead army can do any range of extreme damage from 25000 (Nazgûl) to 50000, and they usually kill any unit apart from Nazgûl and Trolls. This is arguably the best move in the entire game, including Perfect Mode moves.
Legolas later, after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, described the scene he witnessed to Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took: Faint cries I heard, and dim horns blowing, and a murmur as of countless far voices: it was like the echo of some forgotten battle in the Dark Years long ago.
After the Dead king is defeated by Aragorn, he and his friends must escape from the paths of the dead. The dead army appears one more time in the game at the end of the Battle of the Pelennor Fields to help save Minas Tirith from Sauron's army.
In the Return of the King video game, the dead army glows a more blue color, and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are all able to harm them. Two levels feature the dead army, one the Paths of the dead where Aragorn and his companions fight their way through the paths of the dead, and the other the King of the dead where Aragorn fights the dead king.
"The Dead are following," said Legolas. "I see shapes of Men and of horses, and pale banners like shreds of cloud, and spears like winter-thickets on a misty night. The Dead are following."
The Haradrim were defenseless against the Dead Men. Aragorn led the Army of the Dead through Lamedon and Ciril. As they went through the lands of Gondor, they found them deserted, since everyone who hadn't gone to war fled the approach of the dreaded "King of the Dead".
Unlike most of Snyder’s DC efforts, Army of the Dead doesn’t include a post-credits scene. So, if you’re watching in theaters you’re free to leave as soon as the credits start. If you’re on Netflix, you’re likely going to get a pop up asking you to watch something else next.
If that’s the case, Vanderohe is Subject Zero in spreading the zombie outbreak to the rest of the world. As the movie points out, much of the undead (if not all) are contained in Las Vegas, hence the tactical nuclear strike planned by the government to wipe them out once and for all.
It’s not clear whether the foetus would have been human, zombie, or a hybrid of the two (we shudder to think about it), though clearly the biology of the Alphas is more complex than we originally realized – and zombies that breed could spell danger for the human population.
Army of Thieves is a live-action prequel starring Matthias Schweighöfer as Dieter in his earlier safecracking days. The film, which has wrapped production, also stars Game of Thrones’ Nathalie Emmanuel and will stream on Netflix at some point in the near future.
