Thattaboy!
(Er, by the way, how did you go from being a Swede living in Germany to being simply from Kansas? I'm getting all confused by the flux!)
Duh, silly me on the Harardrim/Angmarrim thing. Allthough, double-r's seems a tad redundant, don't it? Wouldn't a language simplify spelling by reducing doubled consonants, unless they served a phonetic purpose (like lengthening or shortening a nearby vowel)? It just looks so wacky to have two r's there.
"Mordhoth" sounds cooler, even if it is less specific. "Mordorren" sounds quite cool, actually (and what the heck?! the double r's look fine here! I'm more confused than I thought!).
Good note on the syntax for Sindarin plurals in our diplomatic texts. Now if only I could figure out how to do that in the editor!

Ha ha, I just noticed your designation and location, AlcTrv, very funny. Good to see you have your priorities straight!

Hèhè, that's funny!
Okay, the randomness of RRNut's Filipino peso settles the matter:
Herumor will rule the Southrons! Bwa ha ha ha ha!!!
On lines for Angmar and Isengard, I was initially leaning towards solution number three (i.e., through men of darkness like the Dunlendings). But it seems a good idea to try to have some resemblance of the role of Morgoth in the early ages, too. Do you think you could strike some sort of balance between the two? Perhaps "Mordor" would be orc-based, primarily, in the early ages, while "Angmar" and "Isengard" would have more men-of-darkness influence??? Hmmm, I guess it's one thing to (try to) talk about it, another to implement.
I like the wolves and giant spiders idea better than the cold drakes (for the epic game, anyhow -- I want lots of dragons [and boulder-hucking giants, boo hoo embryodead!
] in the scenario). Maybe wolves first, and giant spiders later, assuming we want an
increase in 'barbarian' dangerousness.
So, uh, are we decided or not about consolidating a lot of our unit lines into A&D units, or keeping them split? I have trouble seeing the bottom line sometimes...
