Now, of course, you can adopt whatever interpretation you want. However, true to Tolkien means true to his published works first, and to his unpublished works second.
the only reason those works were unpublished was cause he DIED before he could finish them.

Quoted from Civ Designer Stephen Caines:
"To explain Age of Middle Earth, it is a full game makeover with a new .exe based on Ykkrosh's BAR version that specifies a different set of data files so that the original civilisations can be replaced (protom, techtreem, majorgodm, mpacklanguage, etc). This way I have been able to rip the guts out of the original structure and come up with a new one.
The new version will have Elves, Men, Dwarves and Orcs as the 4 civilisations and a slighly different technology structure (such as needing foundries to research different metals (seven in all) with armories focusing on different weapons that in turn enable different military types).
The Major Gods are based on the Valar, with the Maiar and other key characters in the Similarian being used as the Minor Gods). A guy named David Bullen, who is an expert on the book contacted me with the original idea as it coming up with some great ideas for special units and god powers.
The elves and orcs are basically good and evil, with men ending up as different civs (rohirrim, gondiran, easterling, rangers, haladhrim) depending on their minor god choices (with a similar choice path for dwarves)."

Dnas pointed out that a ring couldn't fit on a ghost or spirit, and he must be physical to be able to use palantir to scare pippin, consume denathor, and receive Aragorns challenge.
Also even in the movies Sauron has a physical form because PJ filmed a scene where Aragorn FOUGHT Sauron, the scene can be seen in the deleted scene section and in the EE(i believe). I believe that the eye is a way for Sauron to strengthen the power of the palantir.
Quoted from The Mirror of Galadriel- FOTR "But suddenly the Mirror went altogether dark, as dark as if a hle had opened in the world of sight, and Frodo looked into emptiness. In the black abyss there appeared a single Eye that slowly grew, until it filled nearly all the Mirror. So terrible was it that Frodo stood rooted, unable to cry out to or to withdraw his gaze. The Eye was rimmed with fire, but was itself glazed, yellow as a cat's, watchful and intent, and the black slit of its pupil opened on a pit, a window into nothing. Then the Eye began to rove, searching this way and that; and frodo knew with certainty and horror that among the many things that it sought he himself was one.

it will change considerbly, meaning things will be different especially 2 of the dwarven civs. and actually we got complaints from people cause there was some things that werent in the movie, we had to tell them they were from the books.

In the hazy memories of the Second Age, the dark lord Sauron deceived the Free Peoples of Middle-earth, taking advantage of their greed by giving each race a number of powerful Rings. Each Ring of Power was tied to Sauron's own ring, the One Ring, and in turn each race's fate was tied to him. Sauron failed to realize that not all beings were as selfish as he, and the Free Peoples attacked his fortress in Mordor. The Second Age ended with that battle, the Battle of Dagorlad, and the fall of Barad-Dûr where Sauron was defeated and the One Ring was taken by Isildur, son of the king of men. However, the Ring was not to remain with him. It had a mind of its own, and soon fate brought the Ring to a mysterious and dark creature. For five hundred years Gollum was to hold the Ring, and the Ring would become his 'precious'. Unexpectedly though, the Ring was picked up during a certain Hobbit's adventure, Bilbo Baggins' adventure. Years passed and the old Hobbit decided it was time he moved away and passed all his possessions, including the Ring, on to his favourite nephew, Frodo Baggins. But the Ring had something else in mind. It needed to get back to its master, the Dark Lord, Sauron. You live in the prime years of the War of the Ring. The Second Age ended with Sauron's death; only you can decide if the Third Age will end the same way.
Now, get ready to experience first-hand the incredible power of the forces of Mordor. Guide the Fellowship through endless caverns, across hostile lands, and through ceaseless hoards of Orcs. The Fellowship, though, is only the beginning. Lead the great armies of the Free Peoples of Middle-Earth as they battle Sauron on every front. The power of Wizards, Elves, Dwarfs, Hobbits and Kings are at your disposal with every battle leading up to the final moment at the gaping maw of Mount Doom!
Sixty-nine years ago, between the harsh wars of the world, a great and epic adventure started taking shape in the mind of a most admirable creative novelist. J. R. R Tolkien’s first ideas for The Lord of the Rings began to be materialized. Eighteen years on the story would be published and read by millions of people across the globe, achieving the title ‘Masterpiece’.
The modders and mappers of the Age of Mythology Modder/Mapper Clan, now merged into Liquid Fire Studios, have already given you a taste of The Lord of the Rings with Legends of the Third Age: The Fellowship of the Ring, which has already gotten almost 9,000 downloads from the members of AoM Heaven. Now prepare for an even bigger adventure as Legends of the Third Age will merge with Stephen Caines' much-debated Age of Middle-earth. Besides the Lord of the Rings campaign, you will be able to set up random maps, pitching Elves, Dwarves, Men, Hobbits and Orcs against each other. Each of these extraordinary cultures has its unique buildings and units. Even those who have knowledge beyond the movies and books will find familiarities in the amazing number of technologies and beings to worship, train or tame.
The contributors of this project are available here to answer your questions. This includes members of Liquid Fire Studios and members who merged from the Age Of Mythology Modder/Mapper Clan. Please keep questions logical, on-topic, and without repetition. This thread is available here on AoM Heaven, AoM Files, Through the Ages and Liquid Fire Studios’ discussion forums. You can also email zeus174@aomfiles.com, the publicist if you have queries not being answered to.

23rd December 2006: EDIT: Download the trailer now!
Currently, we are looking for some mappers to help where they can - be it touching up triggers or making a single new scenario entirely. Also, if any modder (perhaps without the obligation of having to join the team) would accept the task of making us a unit for The Two Towers or The Return of the King, it would be very much appreciated. Everyone who helps out, will be credited in our long list of helpers.
