    Default What happens if/when Sauron dies of old age?

    If I keep playing a campaign long enough (i.e after the "official" game end at 400 turns), the Sauron character in the unreahcable area (the "pope") will eventually die of old age, right? What happens then?
    "A skeptic is one who prefers beliefs and conclusions that are reliable and valid to ones that are comforting or convenient, and therefore rigorously and openly applies the methods of science and reason to all empirical claims, especially their own. A skeptic provisionally proportions acceptance of any claim to valid logic and a fair and thorough assessment of available evidence, and studies the pitfalls of human reason and the mechanisms of deception so as to avoid being deceived by others or themselves. Skepticism values method over any particular conclusion." - Dr Steven Novella

    You realise you have too much free time?

    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.

    Don't see the issue with the question. Seems reasonable. I'm curious myself.

    Well I'm curious but does anyone have the patience to play that far?

    Sauron Junior comes.
    American, French, Israeli and British government's ILLEGAL aggression against the Syrian people, without any proof for chemical attacks in Douma, and without waiting for OPCW to conduct their investigation..
    Sons of *******, leave that poor, war torn country in peace.
    If you are a citizen of one of these countries, then DO NOT ask any help from me on these forums, since, in protest against this aggression by your governments, I do not provide assistance/help anymore.
    Let Syria be finally in peace.

    Well I have no idea how long the turns are. I'm guessing they're 12 turns per year.

    Except if he plays a mod that changes it. Like, as you well know, MoS, where it is 12 turns.

    What you took dozens or even hundreds of turns to do, Frodo did in something like 8 turns since the formation of The Fellowship.

    As ElvenKind say, there'll be a new pope, named Sauron

    I've played some 300+ turn campaigns before. 400 isn't completely out of the realm of possibility.

    Ngugi and EK are right. You'll simply get a new pope. I believe you can test this if you want without waiting for him to die of old age. You can use a console command to kill him or teleport your army up there to kill him.
