(Fa4)
Mordor

Desciption:
A faction of corrupted life and Men. Most units are relatively weak for their
cost, but some are exceptionally strong when they can fight. It's one of the

The Attack Trolls can massacre in the enemy base, after the Witch-king killed
most of the units.

(Fa5)
Isengard

Description:
The Uruk-Hai are the toughest troops in the game. When combined with heroes
they are unstopable. Sharku with Warg Riders means death to all units and
buildings (except pikemen). Saruman (maybe Wormtongue) with Uruk-hai is strong,
Lurtz with Uruk Crossbowmen is powerfull. And when upgraded, really unstoppable
due to an incredible armor and very powerfull attacks. Though their powers are
mainly focused on production and scouting, they do have the fire-breathing
Dragon to destroy a fortress at the liking. And when using mines, the enemy can
say bye-bye to his base, whether it's a stronghold or not.

Pro's:
+ VERY strong units
+ MINES!
+ Easy scouting and production (especially in forest levels)

Con's:
I can't really think of one...

(Fa6)
Goblins/Tamed Wild.

Description:
The worst faction of them all. Although they have the ability to quickly deploy
troops into battle, the troops are so weak the will be dead at arrival. And
with weak heroes, they can't do a lot of things good. But with the possibility
to summon Fire Drakes from the fortresses, and with the Balrog at their side,
they can become strong enough to win with. And with a Dragon-hero at their side,
they cannot be easily destroyed in the later game. Also, many units can poison
the enemy, so even after battle they take damage.

Pro's:
+ Balrog
+ Dragon's to summon
+ Cheap units
+ VERY nice level-10 hero powers.

Con's:
- Weak units
- Takes a long time to get strong
