I know more than you think I know…
I’ve used that line before, and it actually worked for me.

Yadda, yadda, yadda,
Come and fight me, Elfniks! Bunch of peaceloving, conspiracy-spreading, hippies. Probably in cahoots with `em Woodmen if you ask me…
BULRAKUR the Intelligent
Bulrakur, you better stay at home. Stay! Good mutt. One (former) Keep of the DS falls this turn. Another will surely follow…
– Gildring
Uh uh… 15 turns to take Dol Goldur in a grudge game, boy, you guys are quick… and how is North Gondor faring these days? Or the Corsairs?
- Ben
Dark Lts.
And those Northmen…ohhhhh right!!!
Northern Gondor and the Corsairs will remain intact until the end of the conflict. It’s more than can be said for Sauron’s Lieutenants.
“Intact”, you really think so? Thats a bold statement...we think the tide has turned. soon you will be on the run and looking for aid that wont come soon enough.
Dendra, speaker of elven riddles.
Of course they shall remain intact . . .under the Benevolent rule of King Ovatharuss. As soon as I finish my Northern Campaign . . . mwah ha ha ha!!!
-Ovatharuss
King of Khand
Better put Lug Ghurzun on your “need to conquer” list when you come up on your northern campaign. It could be perfectly timed with our Southern Campaign.
– Gildring
I guess Lug Ghurzun IS North of here. Wait … . everything’s North of here! I’ll put it on my to do list.

Don`t count your hatchlings before they are,er,hatch-ed.

Not as successful as the freepies woulda hoped this turn [i`m sure], assaulting mordor can really get expensive, can`t it? Who did you lose this turn in your efforts? How much gold did we take from you?
DENDRA
Dendra, defending Mordor can get MORE expensive, especially when your economies are half the size as the five richest Free.
Any gold you steal we can take back from you. This will be proven to you quite shortly. But our greater interest is killing orc kind, and we will do this by forcing our way into the Dark Tower and coming out with trophies.
As for your results, they’re not exactly the results the DS were wishing for. The mighty DS spirit mastery company killed a low-level White Wizard army commander with a back-up. No big loss there. Although you know any loss of a Free hero will be returned and inflicted upon you three-fold.
Dol Guldur fell with a whimper. And Mordor is approached from all four corners. I wonder which will fall first: Morannon, Durthang, Urlurtsu Nurn, or Olbamarl?
Gildring
How about none of the above. You guys made it in once before and failed to do anything, and you aren’t coming in anytime soon.

<<And Mordor is approached from all four corners>>
- I hope you’re not counting Bragolmaite’s headfirst race into a brick wall of Khand Soldiers as “approaching a corner”.
I claim we have the ability to take a City with a 100 loyalty with our numerous skilled emissaries in one turn, if just we can get those pesky armies out of the way.
So again, we don’t need armies to take your pop. centers. But, in any case, our armies are superior to yours and we’ll soon prove it.
One thing we have already demonstrated is our ability to sack a Major Town/Castle, a military feat unequaled by the DS.
– Gildring
It took you 15 turns to take a major town/castle, while it took us 7 turns to take down a nation. Meanwhile you have yet to make any headway into Mordor. As for your emmissaries, let them try and take down Barad Dur. You will fail miserably.
- Ben
Dark Lts.
The Northmen, your ONLY claim to fame. A sad loss, but we don’t seem to be missing them too much, especially when we’ve reduced several DS nations to weak, mini-nations: Rhun, Ice King, Witch-king, Dragon Lord, all weak.
In the meantime you have lost Riavod, Gundabad, the Ring of Wind, the Cloud Lord capital has been sieged not once, but twice, and we still have a hidden pop. center somewhere in Mordor. I’ll send out a few more armies to prove it.
We’ve captured or killed DS characters at a good clip, and the Elves of Greenwood and Lothlorien haven’t been threated since day one of the war.
Perhaps that is because you lack the ability to reveal pop. center. A pity. Your choice to concentrate on spirit mastery and try taking out Northern Gondor has cost you because NGondor will outlast Sauron’s Lieutenants.
