Ancalogon (baby...)

Oh how sweet! And what a pet! You could use him to grill your marshmallows and as an effective fly catcher!

And now to the subject... You have an ability to write some really devilish tasks Ang. Maximum destruction for both sides, and I guess Curufin won't die in the turmoil this time either?

What we must do is create two equal armies to fight til the end (or almost). If one army gets superior to the other, there will not be " destruction, death and disaster for both sides to the greatest extent possible". Nirn was won by the dark side, but it was a close call. The fury of Noldor and the men who stayed true combined with the toughness of the dwarfes made Morgoth tremble upon his throne.

It is said:

Yet neither by wolf, nor by Balrog, nor by Dragon, would Morgoth have achieved his end, but for the treachery of Men.

So what if we eliminate those forces? Does that mean the elves (it was mainly elves) would win? If so, what will the rest of this game be about? No, an other solution is to be found.

If Uldor the accursed and his lot wasn't around, Maedhros would join the battle earlier which should make it a lot bloodier. Still, the victory of the good side is far from secure. Ulfgang, Ulfast and Ulwarth is still there to lead the forces of turncoates and traitors.

So men still turn around and start chopping at elves AFTER a bloody battle at the doorstep of Angband were the sons of Feanor join in. That might do the trick.

++Uldor

If we took out for example Azaghal of Belegost, Glaurung and his fellow dragons will be free to exterminate the noldor and that won't make much of a game either. It is said literaly that the dragons would have done this if not for the dwarfes.

If we take out any of the elves or good men, the host of Good will have less striking power and loose even worse than they did.

Therefor I choose Uldor, but I'm sure someone can come up with something else. I'm not totally stuck on Uldor, I'm feeling quite flexible on this vote...
