I always play as good factions. I don't know why, but I just don't find playing as any of the evil factions fun (not to say that I dislike them because they are evil, though; I would happily play as...

I just quoted you on that :P

EDIT: changing my guess from Gondor to Orcs of the Misty Mountains. That Gondor expansion doesn't seem quite like an AI campaign, although I haven't played since the patch (which stopped them from...

If you haven't gifted any settlements, I can't see how it could be any faction but Gundabad.

Thus I guess Gundabad.

Grimbold.

AFAIK, Gothmog died in the film; I'm not sure about the books but I thought that, overall, the answer was good enough :)

Wow! I sip my tea in amazement! Good day to you sir, and have some rep as well!

Thou art the Kingdom of England, or I be not a tea-drinking Englishman myself, good sir!

ita vero, amice!

Your turn :)

An easy one here: name all the important characters (I'm not counting the ones from Gondor's fiefdoms- e.g. Forlong- or the named knights of Rohan- e.g. Grimbold) killed in the battle of the Pelennor...

Castamir's great-grandsons Angamaitë and Sangahyando

You had to fight Rhun in the west? If your strategy is as good as your navigation, I can see why you lost :P

Jokes aside, my first campaign was a Silvan one and I too struggled- Rhûn are...

Correct, and well done for getting the pun!

Your go :)

Sorry, didn't see the answer bit :(

On the theme of Gollum (and this is a dead easy one), how did he acquire the ring?
Bonus points if you get the pun!
Bonus Bonus points if you mention how he...

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

Please keep criticism constructive and offer advice on how to improve things. :)

You still said "executing is always cruel", and by saying that it seemed like you were in favour of a dread boost for executing (cruelty and dread go hand in hand). I don't think that it should give...

Really? If you knew that, if you released an orc, he would come back and fight you again, killing some of your men and causing more death, then wouldn't it be wiser to execute him- for the greater...

He doesn't seem too "detached" from Bilbo- in fact, it seems like they are good friends!

Silvan Elfies

In all my games, Khand have always remained allies with Harad, so that's why I guessed them. I noticed the Lindon thing, but the Admiral Ackbar inside me told me that it was a trap :(

Good map,...

Is that.... Lindon? In Harad? Whaaaaat?

Anyway, I'm guessing Khand.

I agree with Bladvak in that I would have liked Boromir to live (I still tear up a bit when I see him die in the film). I would have also liked Balin to succeed in the recolonisation of Moria.

I...

Rohan

Again, I'll have to pass my go on to anyone who wants it, as I'm extremely busy today and I may not be able to post for a while :( sorry

You... You must be Sauron!

'Cos you're a damn good necromancer!

:P it's all in good humour :)

In the book, the troll ran away. In the film, it died.

In the book, the troll doesn't hurl a spear at Frodo's chest.

If it's alright, I'll pass my go onto anyone who wants it :)

(if you're reading this and nobody has asked a question yet, go for it!)

Playing with the new patch, things seem more balanced but there are still a few issues:

Mordor still steamrolls Gondor- stack spam is really a problem, by turn 30 I counted no less than 20 Mordor...

As we all know there are many awesome speeches in Middle-Earth (I'm counting all of Tolkien's works as well as the films). I'm creating this thread to discuss said awesome speeches, as well as any...

Elf from Imladris.

I'm a very academic fellow (hoping to get into an excellent university), so it would make sense for me to be somewhere with a lot of books and knowledge :P

We're taking the Hobbits to Isengard

A behind-the-scenes documentary showing what a day in the life of an Uruk-hai soldier is really like.
Episode 1: Saruman narrowly avoids a court case for...

Wow! These look really great- they fit in well with the original TATW cards, which the current DaC cards don't (sadly). I rep you in the hope that you will continue making these :)

Well, it was a long shot anyway. Good question though! :)

Try going down the spy building route (pub/vineyard)...

Poison
Kingsfoil (Athelas)
Tauriel couldn't have used it (she wasn't the king of Gondor)
It didn't grow in Laketown, and people there wouldn't have used it to feed pigs

You are correct :) Your turn!

Edit: also, Merry Christmas!
