Wasn't it perpetually dark, cloudy and gloomy all over the place, and especially near mordor?

In the battle of Gondor in RotK, storm clouds and uncounted numbers of bats and birds blocked the sunlight anyways. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Instar burger maybe?
and wash it down with some sparkling Perrin water.

Is Suicide Junkie a hot mexican dish???

Well it's time to bathe. I'll just scrub down with a hairy Aloofi Loofta.

I started the now locked thread just to learn who is "CEO TROLL". Duff... Should name it correctly, not "who is troll" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Yeah, the Big Ram that was built in the foundries of Barad-Dum was manned by Mountain Trolls, but that happened after the Dawnless Day, when Sauron make his Darkness fall on Gondor.
Now in the movie I don't remember if it was dark over the Black Gate, but it was definitively during the day, so maybe Peter Jackson actualy made a mistake... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I'll have to check in the book if only the Cave Trolls are suppose to die under sunlight.

By the way, How many kinds of Troll are there?
I remember the Cave Trolls, Mountain Trolls, but I'm not sure about Wood Trolls.
There can't be a Troll for every geographic feature, right?

Fyron February 27th, 2003 07:58 PM

Re: Don\'t feed the trolls, people.
 
I think just 2. The kind that turn to stone in sunlight, and the kind that don't. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
