I can understand the difficulty, I've played TATW a lot, only using Silvan Elves because I like challenges, I'm very far with the campaign by now (300th turn) and I guess I'll stop here. The main reason of this choice is due to AI, I'm so tired of it, we're practically me and Dwarves left to struggle. I've taken some settlements from Rhun and given them to Dale, they've never helped neither me nor Dwarves to fight back Rhun. Mordor always comes out from its lands with many stacks and constantly pushes. They never stopped in all these 300 turns. Then you see High Elves, stucked there with Isengard near to defeat (they had only their capital and another city captured during one of those Sauron's jihad). I offered them everything (money, both as single payment and tribute, I also offered them Isengard itself). No way. The offer was always 'very demanding'. So I went to the diplomacy scroll and noticed they had taken Isengard as vassal. WTF? Why? I mean, we've almost defeated them, instead of striking and wipe them out, they prefer have it as vassal. So you think: "Morons!". It'd have been one less enemy around, us good factions could've focused on Rhun, Harad and Mordor (5 vs 3). Come on, why haven't you improved this aspect of AI?
