^^I like the point that you have, but it would kinda lead to one big Evil Men faction as stated above. It would be cool though.

[hman]

It would make Harad seem kinda like a big evil men faction, but I only see that as being a bad thing if its all clumped together as one faction and not separated by minifactions.

[Lauri]

I don't think that Rhûn and South Rhûn would be identical in any cases...

[hman]

But was South Rhun ever really a separate faction from Rhun?

In what ways?

If you mean it like I think, then I'll tell you something... We all have our personal choice, and as you can see in the army of Gondor, you can see that they aren't all alike... There are archers of Morthond, Axemen of Lossarnarch, ect... I know that they are only fiefdoms of Gondor, but yeah...
And I'm sure that South Rhun and Rhun would have some differences...

For one thing, I don't think that South Rhun would've had Khamul, a Nazgul, but it's possible they have Lieutenats to go with the army though...
For the units, there' Easterling Warriors, Archers, Wainriders and Soldiers of Rhun... For South Rhun, I don't know what could be different, but there could be visual differences, small, but some Like, maybe they are better dressed for warmer weather, or something. I don't know

Still, atleast they wouldn't be COMPLETELY identical...

[hman]

But what's wrong with them being completely identical, Lothlorien is completely identical for both of their factions.

[mike_]

No, Rohan's Lorien minifaction doesn't come with Celeborn, IIRC.

[hman]

Oh, but other than that its pretty much the same.

[Bard]

Oh, I wouldn't be too sure of that...

Bear in mind that the RA staff have yet to release any specific information regarding the Lothlorien mini-faction of Rohan.

For all we know, those "identical" mini-factions may have different mini-faction bonuses or powers, as well as subtle dissimilarities in their unit designs as stated by Lauri.

Oh good point, I always just assumed they would be identical.

What are all of these units, sorry to ask, but I can't read Dwarvish.

[m@tt]

They've been gone through at least twice so far this thread. Use the search function below my post.

[Jaguar6]

Thanks, I just couldn't find where they went over it.
That's what the search thing is for, I never new until now.

What's the deal about Lothlórien being a minifaction for Rohan and Mirkwood, btw? I thought you didn't want 2 identical heroes on one map, save in mirror matches?

[Lauri]

well, they fit both in Rohan and Mirkwood...
And Rohan having Lorien is 'cooler' than just more men of Rohan
Also, I would assume, Lothlorien for Rohan would only have Galadhrim and Haldir, wearing his armour... While Mirkwood also get's Celeborn, and two(?) other units
As Haldir isn't such a huge hero, I don't think it's too big a deal with "identical heroes"

[Elen Naro]

Still, it would be weird having 2 Haldirs on the battlefield. Give Aragorn a spare one for after the first one dies?

[Lauri]

oh for the love of...

You can' be Rohan and Mirkwood at the same time, can you?
Noo....
If your Mirkwood and Mirkwood ally, then there are two haldirs possibly...
So it doesn't matter if your Rohan and have a Mirkwood ally...
Personally, I don't see any problems at all with it...
Besides... Aragorn is on Gondor, most precise Dunedain

[Elen Naro]

I know about Aragorn, was alluding to the films.

[Uruk King]

Besides EA made the mistake of giving Gondor's future king to Rohan.

when I first got the game I thought my copy was defective because of that
