I noticed a gentlemen from spain talking about the legends game, with the minor boons and random bonus forces.

Are any of these starting up anytime soon???

Thanks,

We have no plans for this at present. Get together 12 players and I can try to find the rest.

<<In spain the most common and interesting setting is what we
call “legend games”. They are 1650 games with neutrals alligned
(harad and dunland are FP, corsair and rhudaur are DS, easterling
doesnt play. People seems to like it very much.

However, in the “legends” games there are also some different cases:

there are 12 extra camps hidden, 6 for each side. there are one 500
HC, 500 LC and 500 HI bonuses to three random countries of FP and
three random countries of DS. Each country gets a +40 or two +20
bonus to their lowest nation stat (ie: emmisair for Cloud lord, agent
for Arthedain, and so on). Plus we have “extra” nation missions that
also give huge bonuses to people. They include things like: if your
nation (my case, arthedain) gets Gurthang and gives it to Celeborn,
the character doing it gets +40 to mage rank. Or “if your nation -
also arthedain- kills Gaurhir in challenge or by assasination, the
character doing so gets +40 in agent”. They are allways hard to
acomplish -ie, no assasination mission for the cloud lord- and the
benefits are also very strong, so the game is not that “fixed” as
1650 and 2950 games are, but are not so unexpecting as 4th age games
are. They are very succesful here, maybe you would like to try
something similar… although tastes seems to be different. Here the
2950 setting is very unpopular, for example.>>

Sounds kind of funny I wouldn’t mind trying it when I’m done with games 4 & 86 anyone else interested?

Only one problem has risen on those games.

Frees just sweep DS usually. Angmar usually only lasts 5-6 turns, then is only a matter of time, When Cardolan Noldo Navy appear in southern area to finish corsairs.

Note that what DS usually do then is go for The One Ring, since at that stage of the game Frees have not Character potential.

In one of those games, by turn 14 The One Ring was located by BS; since frees just had destroyed Angmar, Mirkwood, Morannon, Barad Ungol, Barad Dur, Durthang and Mordor just was Free Highway.
