I'm sort of hoping to make high PD a fairly good choice for the nation. The PD has lots of berserk guys with hatchets, and high levels of PD give a trampler that the nation can't get anywhere else. Finally, those tramplers are paired with an actual assassin commander, who has good stuff to hit enemy thugs. While it's definitely not going to protect against a concentrated offensive, I'm hoping to be able to make it somewhat harder to raid Angmar.
As far as I can tell, the real options for mid-game are some combination of powerful battlefield spells and thugging. I think Angmar's strength will lie in the thugging. I wonder how crazy it would be to have the Mount Gundabad site give Construction bonus: 20... it's the place where the dwarves were fashioned from the stone after all. That would provide a definite advantage for thugging.

Actually, the cavalry might have to wait until I can decide on some good stance for them. I've got 5 units left needing sprites:
Hill Troll
Rhudaur Chieftain
Rhudaur Shaman
Rhudaur Stalker
Gundabad Warg Rider
