Zimoo, WHAT WAS THAT????? You are on the project team and you believe that Sauron is the only kingdom-leader of evil and his allies are ACTUALLY his servants????Boring.
*Yawns*
How many mods have an evil men faction? Try coming up with something more unique and I might actually offer you some constructive ideas, rather than summing up the entire thread in one word
Personally, I'd say split Rohan/Dale out of their respective faction(s) and replace goblins with them. That way is atleast unique (maybe not the Rohan thing, but the good/evil unbalance).
Lets face it, evil is split into two groups, Isengard and Mordor. Even these 2 are not very independent. Good however is split up into tons of independently acting kingdoms. It's not like the evil side where 1 lord holds dominion over all. I say unbalance good/evil (not that it makes a tiny bit of difference, for all you morons who are bound to come in arguing that there is now more good factions than evil).
Also, with evil being squashed into two factions, it gives them more variety, which IMO they have always lacked.
Why don't you hurry up and READ SOME OF THE TOLKIEN FRANCHISE BOOKS??? I personally think that any book about the armies of middle-earth (Weapons and Warfare, aside from lying about MotD's fate) would be great healthy-food for the LotR section of your brain 
. And the more factions a mod has, the more variety it has! Aren't things great when we work together???

. And by the way, I have cracked open a book TODAY: a Middle-earth atlas that presents "Servants of Morgoth/Sauron" and Evil Men as two different troop-lines. On the same day in the morning, I cracked open Weapons and Warfare, which offered a visual guide to what even Tolkien would say is correct: Sauron, Orcs, Goblins, Balrog, Cave Trolls, Mordor Trolls, Mouth of Sauron, Siege Equipment, and Nazgul are presented by an stretched evil-eye; Saruman, Uruk-hai, Warg Riders, Dunlendings, and Isengard by a big hand, Haradrim and Mumakil came in with a aztec-looking eye with lid symbol, and Easterlings represented by a persian-looking diamond shape. And, I read the actual novels and they said nothing about Sauron's allies serving him directly, and his allies' descriptions talk only about them serving him throught their aims of what they have in common with him

And, um, Beridan, Sauron offered the Haradrim Gondor's lands in exchange for their loyalty, and the Haradrim have hated Gondorians sice before Sauron re-relocated himself from the North Waste (where he fled to following the ruin of Angband and death of Morgoth) to Mordor. And the Easterlings are slightly a different story. In the Beleriand days, Morgoth offered the Easterlings the lands of Hithlum in exchange for their loyalty. When Morgoth died, they headed back to Rhun and encountered the Numenoreans who they hated for the same reason the Haradrim hated them: greed for land. When these two armies discovered that Sauron alos hated the Men of the West/North as much as they did, they came to him,and he offered Gondor's lands to the Haradrim and Rohan's lands to the Easterlings, of course they were looking for revenge, remembering how the Numenoreans had removed them from their bordering locations and expected them to sell land for free, and going to war on them if they expected any pay. That's the history of the Mordor-MotE alliance

However, Men of the South wouldn't work. Firstly, Rohan and Rhun are on roughly the same latitude, which puts Rhun north of Gondor. Men of the South could be expected of a Gondor-Harad alliance, but not a Rhun-Harad coalition. On the other hand, Rhun and Harad are on roughly the same longitude, which makes it more geographically accurate to refer to them as "Men of the East."Edited by {IRS}Athos, 11 July 2009 - 01:01 PM.

. MotE is geographically correct . We'll call them that and have the things I offered to Nazgul be added in!

i think i like MOTE better.since theres MOTW and its sounds better than harad,rhun and khand as a whole name.what about easterlings?would that work?
You might say "Haradrim are not from Rhun", but then again I would say, yes they are! Rhun means "East" in Sindarin, as you may know, and these kingdoms of evil men were LOCATED to the "East" of Middle-earth.

Having other names like Rhun, is somewhat confusing for me because i dont really study lotr lore

Men of the East will be the OFFICIAL name. Otherwise, it would be:What about something like
Servants of Sauron
or
Army of Sauron
or
Eastern Armies of Sauron
