RomCom1989 [he/him, any]

Truly the South Slavs of the Elder Scrolls universe

That’s more of a base game limitation

I think they made it so only Gondor can kill him as a failsafe before they add the Ring,cuz otherwise you end up with landless Sauron,which I have heard talk of maybe potentially getting content

Well,the lore accurate parts are exactly the ones that are part of the original cannon,but sure,they could be game rules,it’s the devs vision,after all,but I don’t disagree

As for the military analysis,that’s what the modders line is,and why they made it that way,but there is a game rule to change it at least

I’m gonna be the treat defender here and address your concerns

I mean,the elf stuff,hobbit mechanics and Reunited Kingdom are lore accurate,so they have a good reason to be that way

The random death thing is probably being worked on,since yeah,it’s not supposed to happen

Also,on the adventurer comment,it’s still the beta,and they’re fleshing it out,so it probably won’t be feature complete until after they finish the Ring Quest,which will take a while

Mordor rolling over RK is intentional,since it’s what would have happened if the Ring wasn’t a factor, Mordor just had the better army,they just had an Achilles heel

I agree on the dwarf thing,but you can usually circumvent that by marrying before 100, though the ai dynasties do die out needlessly

As for Numenoreans, you’re in luck,the Thani Hazard is the last Numenorean dominated region,barring the ruins of Tanturak,which are in the beta,but they’re unpopulated,and there’s only one half Numenorean colony left to the east,but it’s more native than Numenorean,so you won’t be seeing more Numenoreans after this expansion

I think theyre gonna finish the utter south(Mumakan-Sauron aligned empire vs Korronade(human-elf alliance republic thingy),do Chey (evil) and Chy (good) and maybe do the southern archipelago in the meantime

I heard 5.0 will be ring quest,but they’ll keep expanding the map in the meantime if they can,in the 4.0,4.1,4.2 model

Lol are you me

But I’m gonna have to disagree on the LOTR point,I love what they did with the lore there,and from what I understand they’re gonna keep expanding south to east,and quite frankly I can’t wait to see what they’re gonna cook up
