Well, Erestor dies to a challenge gone awry (note down Hoarmurath’s challenge rank to tell us after we’re finished :), Ji Indur gets away with it yet again, our agent dies in Lug Ghurzun… perhaps we should give up on the character game and stick with the military which treats us somewhat better 
The question is, can you translate your huge character advantage into military successes? That will be the interesting thing to watch in the upcoming turns. As it stands now, Angmar looks more or less secure for us, Mirkwood is secure, Harad has suffered some crippling blows (if that can be said about any blows to that nation) and you get pushed further and further down the Ithil Pass into Mordor.
Only Rhovanion/Rhun is a mess, but you need to win more fronts. Perhaps your character superiority will hand these to you. Perhaps not… Nail-biting!
Great game,
