Who Will You Play First?

**lacrossepl9** · April 29, 2008, 08:04 PM

Although we only just got news of this mod I am very excited for I have waited a long time for people to finally make a LOTR Total War mod. So I ask everyone who are you looking most forward to playing as and why? For me I will play as Gondor, they were always my favorite country in all the books and movies with their giant capital and shiny silver almost elven looking armor. Plust their symbol is a white tree whats cooler than that

. Anyway I also want to play them because in the movies they seemed to be more infantry based and plus you get to be right on the border of Mordor what else could you ask for. So who will you play as?

High Elves hands down!

, but then again, who knows what kind of awesome units Shredder will pump out.

Good: I am looking forward very much to Dale/Lake town, Elite units of longbowmen armed with black arrow's have been filling my imagination since I first heard they were in the mod.

Evil: Goblins, or Mountian orcs or Orcs of Gundabad, considered to be the underdogs even though in the books Goblins were quite a bit tougher than normal old Orcs.

the evles

surely it is Isengard. they have the strongest orcs "uruk-hai" and good armor, and also there army is more arranged and organised than mordor "mordors are barbarians" and crossbows, wolve guyz, there army is much similar to men's army but replaced men with bloody orcs"uruk-hai" i bet they will have the strongest foot units and the most expensive.

I would almost certainly play as Gondor. You just gotta love that plate armour.
Either that, or Eriador, if they have the Dunedain rangers as a unit.

Isengart. Those orks are cool. Elves are sissies and whiners, and those uniforms from Gondor just look silly. Mordor orks are too weak. Only Rohan is still playable, but they rely mainly on horses. That can be cool, but I am more an infantry fan. I enjoyed the LOTR Mod for Rome very much, and there Sarumans forces were the ones I loved the most.

Evil: Isengard
Good: Dale

Elves absolutely! Especially High Elves 'cause I have always admired them. Their culture, religion, habits, architechture, warriors etc.

Would also be fun to play as silvan elves and ambush heavily armoured uruk armies from the woods

**SHREDDER** · April 30, 2008, 10:01 AM

Probably elves, then Gondor

**deathmaw** · April 30, 2008, 11:24 AM

not true mordor has strongest infantry in the game also it has trolls, uruk-hai modor version, mumakil and unlimited infantry options and also it has the nazgul!!!!!!!!

I've always had a soft spot for the dwarves, (just because angry, beer-soaked beards on legs are infinitely cool) but I really liked the way the Galadhrim, Dale and Gondor played in LOTR:TW, so I'll just wait and see.

**lacrossepl9** · April 30, 2008, 02:05 PM

Well as you already know I will play Gondor but when I play as an evil nation it will defienetly be the easterlings, Sick looking armor, strong halberd units (at least in the movies and books) oliphants, and decent archers. Plus they seem to be the one faction no one here wants to play and I like being original.

**deathmaw** · April 30, 2008, 02:51 PM

maybe the silvan elves

**HunterKiller** · April 30, 2008, 05:29 PM

whats dale guyz? i cant remember. and where was it in middle earth?!

**chchcharmin** · April 30, 2008, 05:44 PM

what could be cooler to have your army, full of battleproofed dwarves marching towards the enemy lines, charging them and swinging their twohanded battleaxe?

i'll play them for sure
