Talk:12 Army Middle Earth
Back to page
The Elves are *ridiculously overpowered* in this scenario. Most all-AI games result in them rapidly outpacing even the other Free Peoples on their side; their basic infantry have 2 movement! Given that there are so many neutral territories at the start of the game, this means they rack up quite an empire within the first few turns.
Moreover...Mordor is supposed to be a vast military machine; south Mordor around Nurn has "vast slave-tilled fields" to feed the armies, while north Mordor is a foundry/armory. Its given so few Production Units that its incredibly weak; it should at least be comparable to Nazi Germany in classic Axis and Allies; but its far too weak for that.
Khand should not exist as a separate race, simply because they control such little territory, and they're *behind* Mordor and Harad; it would be easier to just combine them with Harad.
But the biggest problem is te Elves; is really messes up play balance. They're supposed to be a dying race and all.
