We where suspicious for some turns, but now its a fact - the Northmen are no more, armies are vanishing and pops degrading.
10 vs 11 for 7-8 turns and the fortress Mordor only suffered some superficial damage. The northern and western entrances where defended, Witchy has not even lost an MT and made 2 new friends. Khamul got all your attention in the beginning, but he is still around. Not a single smelly servant has been assassinated or kidnapped. Most major artifacts are in our hands. The Southern Alliance has made their choice wisely and are now expanding their kingdoms.
the grumpies aka sm were in for a special treatment - my voice will never be sharp enough to frighten anyone but sm, good game, I enjoyed and hated all of it.
