Heroes
Melkor
Build Cost: 12000 + Silmaril
Description: Melkor is the mightiest being who dwells in Arda. Although he is not as strong as Tulkas, he has a good variety of power. His melee attack is devastating to clumped units, but heroes are slightly more resistant to it. You need the silmaril in your possession to build Melkor. BTW, depending on how easy it is to code, I wish to make it so that his name appears as Morgoth (not Melkor) for enemies.
Abilities:
* Lord of Middle-Earth - Level 1 - Melkor grants huge leadership to all non-hero units
* Fires of Angband - Level 2 - Powerful fire attack with a large range
* Destroyer of the Two Trees - Level 4 - Powerful melee attack that instantly kills any building
* Mutator Of Orcs - Level 6 - Grants several experience levels to all orcs in a large radius
* Scream - Level 8 - Scares all enemies, including heroes
* Mockery Of Eagles - Level 9 - Summons several winged dragons
Gothmog
Build Cost: 5000
Description: Gothmog is the chieftain of the Balrogs, and High Captain of Angband. He is a capable fighter, but is best used to increase the fighting ability of nearby units. When built he comes with a guard of a few trolls.
Abilities:
* Lord of Balrogs - Level 1 - Nearby Balrogs get increased stats
* Fire Breath - Level 4 - Breathes a devastating fire over target area
* High Captain of Angband - Level 6 - Grants leadership to all units (except monsters)

Ancalagon
Build Cost: 5000
Description: Ancalagon The Black is the mightiest dragon ever to exist, and very nearly brought ruin to the Host of the Valar during the War of Wrath. He will have a very strong armour, but will be very vulnerable to other flying creatures (mainly Earendil).
Abilities:
* Fireball - Level 3 - Hurls a deadly ball of fire at enemies
* Greatest of Dragons - Level 4 - Leadership to winged dragons

Orcobal
