Nazgul Names - Orc Generals

**Nazgûl Killer** · April 29, 2009, 03:34 PM

As Mordor, I've seen it three times now that my enemy, Mordor, has Orc generals with the following names:
Uvatha the Horseman
Dwar of Waw

I understand it must be hard to make them show up with Nazgul portraits as they are appearing generals, but I was wondering, could you not undo all those useless Orc generals, and instead make Nazgul generals? You have at -LEAST- 9 Mordor generals at start.

names are taken out of a pool i guess. you can't say: general a has name x and general b name y. they are randomly distributed

And as far as I remember, there's only one Nazgul called expressis verbis by his name -Khamûl- in the lore.

I'm not sure where the names came from, but all 9 names are stated, if not by Tolkien then by his son.

That is incorrect. We only have Khamûl's name, and then also the title of The Witch King (which I don't count as a name, though that's arguable). None of the other 7 Nazgul have any name given to them by Tolkien (or his son)-- those names we do have were, if memory serves, made up for a LoTR card game by someone entirely unrelated.

With regards to the topic, I've had an orc general named Khamûl the Easterling -- that was interesting

Strange, I don't remember any other then Khamul, not even in the HoM-E, but well I might just overread or forgot it

Yes. We have names for all nine. But that's strange that Uruk's have Nazgul names, cause nazgul names are given only for nazguls

Fan fiction names. That's not to be overlooked.

I know, but it's probably due to the adoption system.
Also, I've noticed that when I played with Mordor I started with 3 Nazguls.
When I fought against Mordor, I fought against 5 Nazguls! (2 of them had the same name, Uvatha the Horseman).

I though you get more nazgul later on.

**Nazgûl Killer** · April 30, 2009, 07:18 AM

Didn't play long enough. I found Mordor mightily boring. No offense at all to the mod, the mod is great, but other factions are just far more appealing to me than Mordor.

Doesn't really matter, I'd rather see a fan fiction name that sounds good than a "Nazgul" name, which will be very hard to distinguish.
Think of this this way: King Nazgul the Malevolent. Yeah, great.
