Re: End of the Third Age
I wonder if they would force the weedy looking local Orks into the Waaaagghh! or just kill them for not being Orky enough.

Re: End of the Third Age
Go Gondor! In my SP High Elven campaign I've had to save Rohan's arse from a couple of huge Invasion armies and I've single handedly ended the OOTMM and all but extinguished the OOG with the help of the Dwarves (who rule as an AI controlled race, being so favored in autocalc).
Bt Gondor... Man Gondor has been topping the charts, sometimes being contested by Mordor but overall being able to produce so much stuff as to stalemate Mordor and Haard alike. Somehow the stupid AI managed to loose both Osgiliaths around turn 60 but by that time I had a full stack alraedy there to "liberate them". Still Gondor is spewing stack after stack from Minas Tirith and if these were fougth battles between AI armies it would have stomped Mordor right up to the Black Gate I think.
BTW I would volnteer to sub Rohan if for some reason you cannot put the time into it Zim.

Turn 60? I'll have lost both Osgiliaths by turn 6.

Wait, maybe not, what turn are we actually on?Look on the bright side, it'll be turn 7 when I actually take them.
In any case, I think you are still going to have a fine chance against me, you really have a lot of good provinces and Mordor bankrupts right off the bat pretty much no matter what you do.

Re: End of the Third Age
Well the AI may or may have not lost them in the early stages. Given the size of the map and that Imladris cannot make spies or Diplomats, it took me 30 turns just to get to Gondor's Western border. Point is, they lost them AT turn 60, when I had already pushed the other AI baddies pretty far back. But archers suck in AR, I'd like to see Mordor assaulting Osgiliath when it's stacked with Gondor's archers.
BTW the 3.0 release of TATW will feature custom battle map settlements. Minas Tirith, Osgiliath, Minas Morgul, The Black Gate, Moria, Helm's Deep, Imladris - all as they were in the movies/books. Pretty fun stuff! Imagine storming a 7 layered Minas Tirith that has 10 units of assorted archers with chevrons...
