Whats easiest faction to play?
Holding on to Imladris with the High Elves can be quite difficult. The other settlements are absolutely safe, but Imladris takes some work to defend. More if you plan to expand from there. I found Silvan Elves easier. Equally strong units, except for cavalry, and easy to expand at first.
Mordor and Harad, you have one enemy at the start - Gondor.
For me Harad was the easiest to play. Great units, with Gondor theres only one enemy near you. Gondor usually attacking via land, can only come by two ways at you (via Osgiliath/Ithilien and the crossings at the Mouth of the River Anduin) and is under constant attack by your ally Mordor!
I think High elves are easier because there location. The Green elves (forgot name) are more alone and have to fight the misty mountain orcs, Mordor and possibly Gandabad (spelled wrong i assume) and possibly rhun eventualy. besides No elves arent my style. I dont like archers
Not him obviously, but the having of cavalry (especially such good cavalry) is huge, the Highs have a power base to the far west that is all but untouchable; the closest enemy is Gundabad and they would have to go through both Eriador and the Dwarves. Also, their infantry is better, which helps a lot in sieges. And what do the Silvans have? I haven't played them nearly as much as the Highs, but as far as I can tell the only thing they have better than the big H is minutely better archers.
High elves, without a doubt.
They have very strong units. Since you also only command few units it`s pretty easy to monitor them on the battlefield.
Their western settlements are secure.. They can concentrate their troops in one region.
Their economy and the distance between west and east can cause some problems, but those are smaller than the problems other factions face.
Harad, just for the starting location and lack of real enemies besides Gondor
I agree that the starting position is neat, but the lack of heavy infantry denies them some tactical options. (Even though they have excellent mounted skirmishers, cavalry, a kind of shock infantry, and mumakil)
I`d say they are certainly an interesting and strong faction but they need more skill to be effective than the high elves..
High elves with Baron Samedi's "elves leaving" submod are far more difficult (and accurate perhaps)

Gondor is incredibly easy. They have an army that is consistently strong all around, their generals are fantastic, and they have several cities capable of producing top tier units from the start right next to each other and right at your main focus of conflict, so you can deploy a stack and immediately start using it, which means less money wasted transporting armies.
High elves. your archer kill every orc or goblin that comes close. strong economie, great army and lots of allieds nearby.
Really easy to play.
Dwarves are not very hard. The west never gets attacked and rhun never attacks either. Capture white mountains and youve got a lot going for ya
