    If you use Leo's settlements then definitely Gondor, if not then just pick a faction with a nice symbol. And don't pick HE, they are kinda boring.

    Well i already have played with gondor a bit and i find it very similar to the Arnor stratigical gamplay. No rel unit types diffrents, only that they get all the cool sub units.

    Dale and Gundabad are both fun and challenging.

    Silvan Elves. Just for the Sentinels. You get amazing archers, all of which can fight in melee through most of the game, and easy access to both Rivendell and Mordor for the ring and amazing cities and Legolas and Sentinels and they are just epic. Unless you prefer a different type of faction.
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    I am me. You are not me. You are you. If I was you, I wouldn't be me.
    If you were me, I'd be sad.But I wouldn't then be me because you'd be me so you wouldn't be me because I wasn't me because you were me but you couldn't be because I'd be a different me. I'd rather be any kind of bird (apart from a goose) than be you because to be you I'd have to not be me which I couldn't do unless someone else was me but then they would be you aswell so there would still be no me. They would be you because I was you so to restore balance you would have to be me and them meaning all three of us would become one continously the same. That would be very bad.

    If you haven't played an Orc faction then i'd definitely recommend. Quite tricky to get the hang of if you have been used to factions with stronger units. Of course, when the Trolls become available, then the fun starts

    EDIT: Of course, Isengard doesn't get Trolls unlike most orc factions, although their Wargs have slightly better stats IIRC than the other Wargs. Plus with Isengard you are facing Rohan and potentially Eriador and HE.... fun fun fun!

    Mordor is cool but seriously, Gondor. You get to fight in Osgiliath, Cair Andros, Henneth Annun, Black Gate, Minas Morgul, Cirith Ungol, Barad-dur and most likely Isengard. You can't beat that, custom settlement-wise.

    I want to try somting new, so gondor, is not my fisrt choice, but thank you anyway Gallus. Mordor looks nice, but think i want to go with somthing a bit diffrent than the Osgilath territory part, it is a cool area, but want sommthin else, after al i battle gondor there for 25-30 turns with their million armies. i am hesitating between Isenguard an SE

    Both Isengard and the Silvan Elves are very fun to play as. To help you make your decision: the Silvan Elves are one of the easiest factions in TATW, while Isengard is arguably the hardest. If you want a relaxed campaign that involves reclaiming and defending Mirkwood, go as the Silvan Elves. If you want a challenge that involves a lot of strategic planning, go as Isengard.
    In it for the rep.

    You may have played Gondor but have you played them on VH/VH or with MOS on VH/VH? talk about fighting the long defeat.

    Mordor is my favorite but OOMM is cool for a major challenge. But if you build up tell after the dark lord reveals himself they become rich and can spam orcses

    Play Rhun, great unit roster and it's in a different part of the map than your Arnor campaign. You get to fight Dale, Dwarves, Silvans and eventually Gondor's late armies. And your yellow pikemen look awesome and you can watch all the little boats criss-cross the Sea of Rhun making you money and you get to hear the comedy voiced middle eastern guy say 'they run like children....scour them from the field' when the enemy rout. Can't go wrong.

    concur, the best choice after Arnor is Rhun!!
