Suilaid all.
I know this is a stupid question, but what exactly is the roll of the game designers. Obviously designing the game, but which parts of it. I noticed that TLA is looking for a game designer. I also wondered, why would a game designer need MS Excel?
If this is considered spamming, I apologise.

Hey, Ykkrosh! Catch you around SWGBH some time!

Perhaps WOnders could enable the player to build a specific hero? eg. Thangorodrim=Melkor/Morgoth
Nice signature, Caedus. lol

Luthien did follow Beren into battle. But then again, she was very capable of defending herself. Speaking of the Silmarillion, don't you think Eilinel and Gorlim's story is sad?
Off Topic: Don't you think this picture of Feanor suits him? I wonder who drew it.

CraztThunbs: Check out the technology list for Morgoth's Forces. There's a research for making winged drakes more likely.

You cold even do it so that you don't actually see the wife. Perhaps it could be randomized (like Drakes with and without wings), so that every once in a while when you create a unit, he has a "wife". You don't ever see her, she just adds resources or bonuses to the gameplay over time. Then again, dealing with the purity of the books on this matter, women and children were sent away from the fighting, such as at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. PJ just left them in so he could get that sad feeling when the men rode out to take Osgiliath again (and it worked).

Meh. Good answer.
I have heard of some apparently less mainstream Christianity that fortells that even Lucifer himself will return to the light.Whoever said that was drunk.

Aur Onnad Meren!
Happy Birthday!

I totally agree guys! I was just telling this to my family yesterday. It's a cycle.
1. Book-readers
2. Movie-goers
3. Book-readers & Movie-goers
4. Book readers
5. Book purists
Peopleare now becoming book purists, turning to the movies only as a source of inspiration and book-adaption. I enjoy this new trend, it washed out all the drift-wood, as av_nefardec put it.

Read this article, I think it might help:

I disagree, Curufinwe. Feanor dnied the Valar on several occasions.
-
Very true, Beren. The term Goblins is specifically used for the Orcs of Moria. I realise there are differences just as there are different Trolls. My point is that generally, Goblin differences are greatly exaggerated. Especially by people like Peter Jackson. He takes too many things literally. For example: Sauron is a flaming eye in the movie, just because he was refered to as The Eye. It is no more diffeent than Saruman being a hand.

My father read The Hobbit to me before I went to school. When I was around the age of six, he started readin LotR to me. It became my favourite book long before the movies ever existed.
-
Goblins are exactly the same as Orcs. It says so in the Hobbit:
Orc is not an English word. It occurs in one or two places but is usually translated to goblin (or hobgoblin for the larger kinds). Orc in the hobbits' form of the name given at that time to these creatures, and is not connected at all with our orc, ork, applied to sea-animals of the dolphin-kind.
-
I don't agree with the Orkish names. They are ver Tolkienish. What's the problem with using real Black Speech?
-
The person who played Glorfindel in LotR could obviously re-play himself. Luthien, possibly Kiere Knightly? Or Julia Roberts?

Eh, a bit off-topic - Mithrandil, you say that you are " High King of the... Boomslangs!". Have you ever been to southern Africa?
