Sounds like the Dwarves will have a similar arrangement as the Romans - they bring the heavy infantry while the "allies" bring the other units to round out the army. Since the Hirelings will be serving for cash as essentially mercenaries rather than the Elvellyn for a cause (the elven cause) will there be a morale difference?

Sounds like fun.
I am curious about Elven Recruitment limits due to population. What is to prevent me from recruiting some Elvellyn (or levies/mercenaries), move them into an elven land, disbanding them, then recruiting some full blooded elves? I know it would be a costly way to recruit some seriously badass units but it may be worth it in game terms if it does not necessarily fit the spirit of the mod.

"Dale is the most archer-focused faction in Dominion of Men". I may have to give this faction a whirl. I love seeing enemy armies melt under a hail of arrows. As long as Dale can defend themselves against heavily armored cavalry....

I have had an error pop up in TNS which can be very annoying. While I am playing The Reunited Kingdom and Dunland besieges Erindol with my army inside the settlement a problem seems to occur. When I tell my units to sally forth and wipe out the besiegers I get the graphic where the army stands up but does not attack the besieging icon, and my game seems to freeze. It also happened once when I was besieged in Calanhad, whatever the capital of Anorien is, when I was the Reunited Kingdom and I was besieged by Rohan. This problem only seems to show up in TNS and happens infrequently. Has anyone else seen this problem? What should I do different, other than leaving one or more units out of town to break up the siege and save the game right before attacking, which I always do anyway? Feanaro suggested I ask you about this. I hope I am in the right place. Thanks.

Perhaps if the elves used phalanxes for their units there might be hope. My wife HATES phalanxes.

That is great! However, even if everything goes smoothly and you get this released before the end of this year I probably will not get a chance to play this till sometime next year. My wife has expressed interest in this project, especially with the elves, so I will probably not see much of my BI disk until she wins or is out of the house.

How big will this full map be? I assumed we would see the map go west and north to get the rest of the Lord of the Rings map but it sounds like the map edge may have to move east and/or south in order to fit in the extra factions so they are more than one territory wonders. While conquering the world as the RK in Wars of Men I came across a territory of "West Rhun" at the map edge. Will there be an "East Rhun" which we will be able to conquer as well or will it be assumed to exist but still be off the map edge?

Harad - suicidal enthusiasm - nice phrase and accurate. Because of the Empire's constant attacks I have become expert at guarding a bridge against their hordes. I have found that parking the men-at-arms and kings spearmen at the bridge-head will keep the enemy contained while my 5 or more kings longbowmen, elves, rangers, whatever, rain death upon their tangle of units on the other side. When the enemy breaks and runs then I sound the charge with my cavalry. I have found this kind of battle is a good way to run up experience with the archers and, to a limited extent, the cavalry.

I really like the pictures of Minas Anor/Tirith. Will I be able to place my catapults in various places in the city so I can shoot the enemy without a large chance of hitting my own walls and buildings like in the vanilla version? Also, where can I find a tutorial to modify settlements in the manner pictured in your teaser pictures?

Thank you guys for making this mod.
I like the music - it sounds like a different game than RTW and brings to mind middle earth, not Rome.
I like the videos.
The units look believable in both textures and unit cards.
The campaign map is great. I can see that you folks put a lot of work in this.
I look forward to the final release. Keep up the good work.
