Re: War of the Ring- Full
I think rather than the name its the armies or perhaps the mages that are thematic.
Take TC, I was going to play Man but in CBM they are neutered somewhat. However, someone mentioned that the Calvery of TC resembeled Rohan ALOT. Put that with a weaker Inf that a Horse Heavy nation would have and you have ...Rohan except the all have Fu Man Chu mustaches.
Is Argatha a thematic nation straight from the book? NO...but it can be considered evil and thematic enough for the game in my estimation.
How about ARCO..they just don't fit although they are Human.
I think we must think outside the box.
If you think about it Ghosts helped the good side to fullfill there vow.
Treelords attacked on the side of good when it was discovered that thier brethern had been cut down.
It doesn't just come down to Orc's, Goblins, Elves (who by the way only sent two companies of Archers in the whole book till the very end) and Humans.
Its a war of Good agianst Evil and we can only get as thematic as the game will allow.
IMHO only, of course
