While Mrac's suggested changes seem interesting, I have another proposal to change the NKA game.
Suicide Assassins. That is, the turn after a sucessful assassination, the agent performing the action can do nothing but retire him/herself.
If I'm going to spend 5-10 turns building an awesome army, then another 3-4 turns marching it into battle, only to have it poofed the next turn by an assassin, then I see no reason why the agent nation can't spend another 5-10+ turns building the next agent to kill my next army.
Oh, and no moving the assassin on the turn he performs the assassination. Whatever artifacts its carrying should be dropped in the location where the assassination was performed.
Just as you plan many turns to recruit armies and move them onto enemy pops, you'd have to plan many turns to train and coordinate agent actions. You'd have something to lose by hurting the enemy. No more losing numerous characters, turn after turn after turn after turn.

What about reducing the Cloud Lord bonus to K/A orders to only 10 points?
This would make everything more difficult to the Dark Servants in the early
game, and the FPs would have a few more turns to attack Mordor before having
everyone killed.

As the game is pretty even on who wins then there would have to be a change to advantage (or disadvantage the FP) the DS. What would that be? You could easily limit the number of agents the CL is allowed to have - which would have a similar impact.
