Suggested playing conditions:

1,PLAYING AS HUMAN:

-as gondorian/rohirrim: combat speed:normal/faster; campaning ai:good; battle ai:medium/good and cheat:turn on the world map to see everything (just like using the palantír,only with gondorians)

-with elves: combat speed:faster/fastest; campaning ai:medium/bad; battle ai:medium/bad and cheat: turn on the map to see everything (elven eyes and palatír usage)

-as a dalesman, helping the dwarves: combat speed:normal; campaning ai:good; battle ai:good/medium; and cheat up some money (as a part of the great treasure of Smaug in Erebor)

-as an evil man (just start with good boys, then apply for your new dark master): combat speed:normal; campaning ai:good/medium; batle ai:medium; cheat:none (or cheat up looting skill)

2,PLAYING AS ORC:

-as uruk-hai: combat speed:normal/slower; campaning ai:good/bad; battle ai:good/bad (both of them should depend on army size and enemy type) cheat:none (or cheat up party size limit)

-as orc/goblin: combat speed:slower/slowest; campaning ai: bad; battle ai:bad (both of because Sauron's evil power - that's almost a cheat,but it's needed) cheat:none (yes, Sauron has a palantír, but an orc scum can't use it, of course)


3,PLAYING AS WOMEN:

-Why?


4,OVERALL/OTHERS:

Battle limit:200-400

Rag dolls: 40

Blood: only near the player

Langauage: only English is working (otherways, Imladris will be Suno,etc,etc....Native names)

Resolution: custom

Sound volume,textures detail...etc: custom

Must enable EDIT MODE!

Player should play with normal injuries for both his-/herself and companions.

Suggestion: If you're playing with good guys /elf,men,dwarf/ then don't loot.Just simply cheat up one or two tousand denars, instead of selling captured items to friendly cities.This way you can avoid being robbed, the beautiful cities of Gondor, Rohan...etc won't be full of worthless orcish rubbish, and you even don't have to care about selling them...
