Just trying to set up a new forum for a private game.
Lord of the Rings

I had no clue what I was doing since it was my second time playing; the previous time was probably a year ago. I was trying to hold Osgoliath and didn’t have much plan elsewhere. The Rohan can too easily capture Isengard which tips the economy way in the favor of Good. If I played more intelligently, the Haradrim would have been kept in its corner.
I would think that the Evil forces need an additional 60 PUs worth of starting units to make things fair.
-
I think Gondor should be able to field a couple amphibious assaults on Haradrim’s coast, and vice versa. Mordor should have a little more economy or a lot more starting units. Its also a little weird because everything is happening simultaneously, where as in the books and movies the battles were spaced out.
-
Maybe the solution is to add significant more revenue for Mordor and Isengard. They seem to be way under-powered compared with the books.
-
Yeah, or at least a starting amount of PU’s that allows them to aggresively expand. I felt I was just trying to keep Isengard alive and turtle Mordor. Quite odd for the Lords of Evil!
-
I am thinking of modifying the game to where all of the Capitols for the evil powers are worth an additional 5, giving them 30 extra production per round.
-
I think that’s a good idea. If I could make a suggestion, give 10 to Isengard and Mordor, and don’t give 5 to maybe Khand and Rhun. I think that would more accurately reflect the amount of power each side had.
-
That sounds fun! Would you like to try that next match. I would be fine playing either power.
-
Totally! If you’d like to give Evil a spin with the new capitals I totally get it
-
Go ahead and be Evil again. I think that I have a bit better mastery of the Good powers after this game. Use the Edit mode to change PUs for a country after the turn.
-
Cool. I’ll set up a game tomorrow.
-
Perfect. I will be gone until tomorrow afternoon. I have to enjoy the last day of holiday vacation.

I talked with a few people on the Forum and they claimed that the game was actually balanced with careful Evil gameplay. It is tough but possible. If you don’t mind, I would like to see if I can get a gameplan to work. I posted the first turn.
