Lothlorien’s areas are lush with forest tiles and grain tiles, but have very few stone and ore tiles. Just remember though, just because you’re all Good guys doesn’t mean you’re allies: In fact, you’re more likely to fight the Lothlorien Elves early on than any of the Evil factions, due to their positioning. Unfortunately, they are sorely lacking in siege options and need to find Neutral structures, in particular Beorning camps if they want to tear forts down with any decent speed.įighting them in open combat is dangerous, though they have a much more difficult time destroying fortifications. Having access to Numenorians, Rohirrim, Elves and Dwarves, the Good factions have the advantage of having tanky Numenorian and Dwarven troops mixed with good DPS units in Elven Heralds and rather generalist archery units. It’d be pretty weird if you spawn in Rhun’s deserts as a Dwarf, though if Erebor took the local control point, it’s entirely possible. This guide is most applicable early in the season, as joining later on means you might end up in an unexpected starting position thanks to your faction capturing more control points. Lothlorien has to be aggressive to gain the exp and land needed to stave off the eventual death sandwich coming after them, among other things. Mordor is utterly surrounded by mountains making defense very easy. Lindon is forced to fight through Arnor and Angmar just to get anywhere east. For one thing, being a Lothlorien Elf is suffering for both you and the enemies around you, as not only are you likely to be stronger than your foes, you’re also completely surrounded by them! Your positioning on the map determines your whole faction’s (You and other players who picked the same nation as you) goals and how everyone goes about them. The terrain factions start with is very important, and so is taking note of their neighbors.
