Silvan Elves up. To my allies, I'll just write in the group as answering everyone via ingame message is too time consuming.

The save is still on the silvan elves' turn :)
I'm away from my desktop for the rest of tonight, would it be possible for me to have a 24-hour extension?
Certainly.
Mordor (This IS actually Mordor's turn this time!!):

How do you guys still have any armies if you keep letting the ai sally out against you :P
The Elves beat sallies with 10< casualties if commanded properly.
I agree, you should always have far more than 10 casualties :)
Honestly though, I am starting to feel that giving the "good" side more players was not an equitable decision. The quality of you guys' troops is absurdly above ours, and on top of that you have far greater access to cavalry. While I have gotten pretty large as mordor, Gondor is still about even with me, and Rohan and Eriador are both quite large as well.
It's possible that the extra player for the good side will not turn out to be the right decision, although I suspect Mordor's move into the rest of Gondor has mainly been delayed by lack of siege weapons (and possibly waiting on Harad toreach me...). I am interested to see to what extent the first evil "crusade" will have by allowing Mordor's side to give all tehir troops free upkeep and double movement.
The loss of Isengard is also likely making the numbers disparity even more strongly felt. If it looks like things are favoring the Free Peoples too much perhaps we can make room for a OOTMM player?
As far as stronger troops, you should see what autocalc during AI turns has done to the poor Elves for several turns this game. :sweatdrop:
Thats true, autocalc is on our side, as is the crusade mechanic (although the mercs are rather lackluster from it, still, free upkeep is always helpful), but cavalry. Oh how I miss having cavalry.
That is the real reason why I haven't moved in more, any move would be obliterated by your cavalry generals.
As to siege weapons, those are amazingly expensive, both in time and resources, to get to.
Sorry, I was off on the date on this one. I'll have it done tonight.
