Does Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring use the Warcraft III engine?

Look at how similar it looks: sample pic

look-alike altar of storms

look-alike abomination in the upper right

Not that it would be a bad thing if they did use the engine, but if they didn't... iono.

Looks more like the Age of Empires engine to me.

Definitely looks like the WC3 engine...that's a good sign

Looks a lot like WC3 but it's actually based on the BattleRealms engine.

War of the Ring will feature an enhanced version of the physics engine featured in Battle Realms

It's uglier and slower than the WC3 engine.
