Rhun
Rhun
High Elves.
Rhun and both elven factions are possible, but i stick with the High Elves!
Well enough time has past. There it is now time to reveal Who am I ?
The contenders:
Elves of Lorien: Commanding a large Kingdom compared to their normal behavior. For once controlling more than their starting settlements in Lorien. Not only controlling most of value of Anduin but also blocking Mordor from moving north.
High Elves: Really active and moving south fast and having taken most coastal provinces between the grey ports and Gondor.
Rhun: large empire, but the lands are rich and neighbors weak, it is not unusually to see Rhun grow large and powerful.

Greymane repped
Followup. I cannot be bothered to continue waiting for Sauron, so I will restart as some other faction or even another mod.

No, I would love to fight him, but I simply cannot be bothered to wait any longer, fighting the same repetetive battles against stackspam.
Alright, since I have not played some faction at all. I set myself the goal to play all factions to at least turn 50 and later on to a short campaign victory.
Therefore it is my pleasure to present a new map for you all.
Who am I?
Edit, I forgot some information, apologies.
Turn 50 as always
Tatw 3.2 with MOS 1.6.2 and Reunited kingdom 1.4
Difficulty level M/M
ps. Veteraan I hope this image is large enough for your old eyes, thanks again for the explanation how to do this.

Looking good Davek. Glad the instructions were useful.
But, we are missing some info here:
- Which turn?
- Invasion(s)?
- If applicable, which submod (I have a good idea which one it is, but still...)?
- Difficulty level?
Edit: I will also go for Gundabad. Factions are behaving rather odd on this map. No problem, that just makes it more interesting.
Can anyone take a guess at these? I've never entered one before. If I can, I'd love to have a go at guessing.
I'm not familiar with a lot of those faction colours as I've only played vanilla. Yellow and green IIRC is Lorien, and based on geography alone I'm guessing brown and yellow is Dunland? White and black must be Gondor, and the rest are presumably the same as vanilla, with slight differences in colour.
With that in mind, who are you? Rhun's pushing hard to the west but there are too many rebel regions within their own territory for it to be human. In fact, many of the eastern and southern factions seem to have that problem - neighbouring rebel territories that a human would surely have taken by turn 50. Isengard might have had some trouble being wedged in there like that, so I could understand them not being able to take that coastal one to their west just yet, especially with Rohan looking so good (although that looks about to change, with a wedge having been forced by Isengard and a shared border between themselves, Rhun and Mordor). I could also understand a player playing as Rohan not wanting to take those two coastal regions to their north-west, to avoid giving Isengard yet another target and to delay establishing a border with the Dunlendings. Dunland is expanding north well, but why wouldn't they take that rebel region to their west? Perhaps because they want to knock out Eriador before it becomes a threat, and drive a deeper wedge between the High Elves and Imladris? The Orcish factions seem promising, but their expansion seems typical with the exception of OotMM who have yet to take Imladris - is this down to a struggling human player or a struggling AI?
Maybe people who have been at this for longer than me would have an easier time guessing; I'm struggling. My money is on either Eriador, or the Orcs of Gundabad. For what it's worth, I'm putting my money on the Orcs of Gundabad.
EDIT: Sorry! Was I supposed to wait for that extra info (see Veteraan's post above) before guessing? I took so long thinking that I didn't refresh the page since I opened it, missing the post above.

Boogie Knight, everyone is allowed to guess. Nice to see a real analyse instead of just the guess.
I added the information below also to the post with the map.
Turn 50 as always
Tatw 3.2 with MOS 1.6.2 and Reunited kingdom 1.4
Difficulty level M/M
Yellow and green is indeed Lorien, brown is indeed Dunland and Gondor is now using white. If the game to match colours with factions you had all correct.
Gundabad's expansion seems too thoughtful to be random, so Gundabad it is
Hmm... Gundabad?
I guess you are the brown-red faction in the middle, northern from Isengard
Misty Mountains.

going with Mordor - they usually take more rebel settlements between them and Dol Guldur, and Minas Tirith has fallen quickly - suggests a human going straight for it. weird map though!
