That is a valid opinion, but has little weight behind it. The 3 Rings of Celebrimbor remind of the 3 elven races. Tge 7 dwarf kings received 1 ring each, since Sauron wanted to rule all dwarfs. Tactically, this makes sense.
If he now gave 9 rings to Man, he could cover so much ground, influence so many people. There is no way he would give them almost all to one kingdom :/ Or, if he did, these Numenoreans must have been integrated into the kingdoms Sauron tried to overthrow, maybe ruling foreign cultures for generations already. Numenorean in origin, but culturally all different.
The thing is: you're assuming that by giving the rings to the Númenóreans, Sauron was wasting all his rings in one "kingdom", which is incorrect. The Númenóreans in question didn't belong to any kingdom, they had settled in various places of Middle-earth since the Second Age, inclusively, ruling over the Southrons (Umbar was a Númenórean harbour). They acted kinda like the real-life Spanish Conquistadores, really.
It makes sense for Sauron to give the rings to the most powerful individuals he could find, and the Númenóreans were just that.

Do you only use THFE Productions for youtube content or do you use someone else to? But otherwise you have done a great work so far
We don't "use" any of the YouTubers, we collaborate with them.
Lionheart already asked to do a promotional video in the nearer future, too, so THFE Productions is not the very only one. Nevertheless Oakley did a nice job with the general overview video.

Oh I'm so stupid, Oakley is THFE Productions. Sorry
I read in an earlier post that an alpha for this mod should be ready in about two months. What might we see in it, a few factions playable for custom battle or more?
Where did you read this lol?
Alpha won't be public lol
And two months may be not actual timescale.
Please don't start to distribute wrong information.
I said that we hopefully reach alpha STATUS hopefully in about two months. This doesn't mean that we will release things. You can expect some detailed information in a video presentation at maximum. The first version we intend to release is the Beta and it'll probably have closed access only since we want to distribute as few corrupted content as possible. The release version "v1" shall be the first version with public access.

Massive Overhaul Submod Units!

The idiot question of the day : Why not making the mod buyable and not free ?
- When I see all this work done on artworks and surely all the future work, I wonder why you don't make the mod payable ?
There are plenty of idiots on Youtube who don't work and make crap videos, but won some K$.
Personnally I would see no problem at all to pay 10 $ for a great mod. A parking place it's 20 €uros for an afternoon in Paris.
