while its slack to say, if some neutrals were DS at game start, then I
wouldn't mind the free having the advantage in new pop centres. I wouldn't
fix the WW to DS (since the book regularly talks about Saruman having the
choice of joining either side). And I wouldn't fix the duns (as its was only
stupidity on the riders part to ignore the duns complaints that allowed them
to go DS). I don't remember the rhun in the book, so I can't comment on
them. The corsairs are a nice nation to go either way (so I would leave them
neutral), so i'm thinking the khand might be a nice one to be DS at the
start (especially if they get more extra pop centres that were mentioned in
the book). Of course this defeats the purpose of a 10/10/5 split, but .....

I think this could be a way to go. If we recall the trilogy, all five
neutrals went ds. That would even the scenario, and then some. One way to
do it would be two neutrals ds at the start. Either the KE and the RE or the
KE and the CO. As, to my reading, the saga appears to put the Duns with
Saruman, leave both neutral.
Any number crunchers out there?
How would putting two neutals ds to start even the economic edge the set up
appears to give the free?
Thoughts? Ideas? Rotten Veggies? Etc.
