Should Mordor be able to see all?

[RedEclipse]

I mean can't the Eye of Sauron see everything? (i really don't know )

And i think Isengard should also act as a giant watchtower cause its a big long tower.

[Drake of Harad]

Maybe they should increase the visibility range in isengard and mordor, maybe an unique buiding to those settlements or to the settlements that have palantir XD idk,..and obviously the eye sauron cant see everything ._.

[Kassandros]

I like how when Sauron declares an Invasion everybody can see the targeted settlement. It's almost like all eyes (particularly Sauron's) are focused on that one point in Middle Earth. That's how I've always justified seeing it, since I play evil factions. Sauron's looking at Edoras

[Ghostlord]

Sauron can't really see all, I see it more like he has a giant pair of binoculars and can focus them on a certain point to see whats going on. A good example of this is Sauron not being able to see Frodo even after he entered Mordor.

Sauron isn't an Eye!

They should see alot with their palantirs, but the "Eye of Sauron" is merely a symbol on him. You feel that he's watching you.
He's kind of ghost a-like, and not at all a big, flaming Eye, as Peter wanted us to believe. It's a misunderstanding, as Tolkien probably didn't mean his Eye descriptions literally (he never says Sauron is an Eye, he says an Eye is watching Frodo, but if it were, then Frodo would've been caught)

You cannot deny the flaming eye idea was cool!

Uhm, I don't think so.
A fire Eye stuck at the top of a tower... nah, I don't think so.
A mysterious spirit sitting on his thrown with a Palantir, etc... cooler?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauron#Eye_of_Sauron, btw, it kind of supports what I said... though it's about opinions, most people that go with the Eye does so because the "idea is cool", that's what ruins the coolness of the idea with me, and also makes me doubt it even more.

I know it's wikipedia, but it quotes the book, and it's the book-quotes that are of interest, so you can't doubt it being valid, really...

[Skeleton Of The West]

Even if Saurom was an eye, he couldnt watch everything always, he could have look only at one direction every time.

[Warmaster Tibs]

Isengard/ Mordor could have a abilty every couple of turns to see one selected area.

[abbews]

Or atleast have full visibility in their own lands.

Is it possible to place watchtowers on the mountains around mordor? that would be nice.

On the mountaisn no because no general can get to there a place one.

[YassirX]

It should be possible to add them by editing the campaign map. So when you start with mordor the towers are allready there, under your control.

I thought about placing them there at the campaign start. Just like the watchtower in southern Belfalas.

Ah you ment adding watchtowers in the files before the game begins. I can take a look at that, and I will let you know what I find.

[jinjo]

of course sauron cant see everything
but it will be better if mordor has much greater vision abilities(greater watchtowers for ex.)

[JuL14n]

Or maybe what they have in LOTR TW, an eye strategic model on a spy.

[Subzeroplainzero]

the "eye" of Sauron is most probably referring to his palantir. You should wiki it if you wanna know what its actually capable of

[lord0thief]

But that would make everything unbalanced... I think the eye is represented by the separate dark lord faction...

The Eye is represented by the orange dot at the top of the campaign map Barad Dur model...
That's more than it deserves!


What about a sort of spy, but immortal and with another campaign map model, that got an incredible amount of movementpoints, for both Mordor and Isengard?
It would work if they managed to do it, no?
