Since im fairly new to the forum and this is the first time i've seen this thread i just want to say it looks awesome and i cant wait for the mod.

It seems that Pangea carrion woods would be awesome for Isenguard.. as Saruman did the majority of creative crossbreeding with orcs. Although im not quite sure how Blood Slaves and Saruman go together.

I think an awesome way to run the whole ring/frodo thing would be to somehow make it so that You can only have Sauron as a corporeal pretender when you have the one ring in your possession. You could place Sauron with some other orcs already in a province with superior Good force on the first turn, causing the death of Sauron and the aquirement of the ring by the forces of good. Perhaps the only commander present could be a certain hobbit... I have absolutely no idea what goes into modding, but it would work out well if the good side started with the ring, Sauron was a monster SC, and you couldnt call him back unless you re-obtained the ring. Give the Nezgul Assassination so they can go after hobbits with rings, and make them from one of the units that have a specific number you can summon, and re-summon when they die.
Wait! Ok, hard wire the one ring to a hobbit, make it horror mark him, and change the horrors into Nezgul... and then if Sauron has an inkling where the hobbit is he can cast Send Nezgul. I suppose you could make the ring a Unique Artifact that does some really good AND bad stuff. There has to be some reason for the good player to take it out of their laboratory, maybe it could have a permanent gem income, be cursed, and cause horror marking. Then when the Nezgul kill the hobbit it can be reforged with a large number of death gems... representing the effort of getting it back to mordor and giving the forces of good a chance to try and re-forge (find) it first. What happens if 2 teams attempt to forge a unique artifact on the same turn?


I also think Mordor should start out with the ability to scry somehow to represent the eye of sauron.

Again i have no idea if its possible to mod any of these things into the game, im just throwing out ideas. This email ended up changing from a statement of anticipation to a long rambling post. I hope some of my ideas helped at least a little.
