I'm working on making it entirely a Lord of the Rings mod, so all the misc. fantasy civs will be gone in the next version.

I will add the Easterlings, Rohirrim, Umbar, Lossoth, Ents, and Trolls. I will also seperate Mordor from Southrons to make 2 civs.

Anybody know the leadername of the Corsairs of Umbar so I don't have to hunt for it? Any city names, too?

I hope the stuff on the webpage is accurate, if not, excuse my criticism.
I haven't downloaded the mod yet, as I am in the middle of downloading Linux and Netscape...
Anyhow, some leaders seem quite rediculous to me:
The Hobbits' leader should be mayor Sam or thain Pippin
The Elves' leader should most certainly be Elrond
The dwarves must have Durin the deathless as their leader
If you plan to keep the wood-elves, their leader should be Legolas's father, Thranduil I think.
The orcs' leader should be grishnakh or Ugluk or Shagrat, familiar Orc-leaders.

How about an orthanc civ? in the beginning ages they could have the normal good units, but near the end they get all the bad units, with uruk-hai (UU)replacing orc or whatever... I did notice that uruk hai is the orc UU, but that should be the orc warrior or something...
just my 2 cents...

It's not easy getting the civs to match up with a face so I just did it like that. I know it's not accurate but that's what imagination is for.

I changed the Wood-elf leader to Thranduil. Thanks. All I could find was Elven-king from the Hobbit

Also I found the name of the Umbar leader, Castamir, and he will take Alexanders face.

Here's who will be who in the next version that isn't in the old:
Southron: just kept the Gargoyles leader name (Cleopatra)
Umbar: Castamir (Alexander)
Lossoth: the Horrible Witch-king (Mao)
Fangorn: Treebeard (Abe)
Rohan: Eowyn (Joan)
Trolls: Just kept the gnome name Tomkey (Ghandi)
Easterlings: Chief Graffa (Persian leader)

It really isn't easy coming up with leaders and cities that really don't exist.

Now I just need to find something for the Lossoth and Troll UU graphics...
