As the last representative of the FP I have just written to Harly surrendering.
Well played to the DS you managed to keep together a core of active nations through the 34 turns. There are always mitigating factors and I think that losing 4 nations to drops early on after they had been inactive for a while and the Woodmen going out early swung it in your direction.
Noldo obsession with curse artifacts didn’t help either - could they have been more distant or guarded with riddles answering Sauron and Melkor - never very healthy for a good Elf. Elrond hangs his head in shame at not being able to 900 one.
Lots of good strong characters left but economy was disintergrating and your last turn attack on Lorien was the final straw.
Gothmogs challenge on Gildor also was enough to make me weep. Latest count was 6 evenly matched PC’s all lost.
Best DkLt/Rhudaur I’ve seen in a GB I can only presume Cardolan/Sinda didn’t really play allowing you to hold off Arthedain. Credit to Arthedain he kept Harad alive and only dropped 4/5 turns ago. Also to North Gondor/Dun who I figure was the only other FP to make a game of it.

& Arthedain at the end.
