Hey, it's Castanias.

Great Spiders(tamed), Lesser Spiders (tamed), Higher Men, Elves (Archers, Pike-men, Swordsmen [infantry]) Silvan Elves & Sindarin Elves

Military:
Higher Men: 3.75 - 40 Higher Men... Total: 40, Points 150
Elves: 6.75 (Archers, Pike-men, & Swordsmen [infantry]) - Archers, 100 - Pike-men, 30 - Swordsmen, 70... Total: 200 Elves, Points 1350
Elvin Spider-Riders: 10? - 50 E.S-R... Total: 50, Points 500

Character name:

History of Mirkwood:

Other:
Construction of Barracks; 2 IC to go.

As much as I love the concept of tamed Spiders, that seems a little bit unlikely. You could claim more Elven warriors though, offhand.

Previous- Strength: 100 Wardens of Lorien and 500 Galadhrim Warriors, 5 light ships

New soldier count: (Before recruitment) - 350 Wardens of Lorien, 800 Galadhrim Warriors(like those in the movie at Helm's deep, with sword and bow), 400 Galadhrim swordsmen

LotR RPG puts their number of soldiers at 100 Warders and 1200 Guards, so that's reasonable.

Hmm, though now that I say that, all of us have been halving our canon numbers. So 600 seems like the acceptable figure.

Please how about the new soldier count.

Tamed spiders?

You didn't know Spiderlings could be tamed?
I understand if you don't, but they're kind of like every other animal; from the movies to the books to the games Elvish characters have been able to tame and ride spiders. Just play Battle for Middle-Earth, or watch the latest Hobbit movie. - Even though this information is kind of not noted in books, I don't understand how it wouldn't be possible.
Besides what else would Elves use in the woods? They can't really use their horses in the thick, somewhat dead woods.

[Elerian]

It doesn't matter to me. Unless the Ents learn how to climb then i'm golden.

Be careful of the elves. Also what's your price for this?

I'd like some units plox.

I'll leave it up to Liec, but if every other faction has halved their forces, I'm disinclined to make an exception without a very pertinent argument in its favor.

[Bearon]

I have some unneeded goblins. How many goblin troops do you want?

Sorry, don't think you can tame spiders. Character- Why not be Legolas too?And please, let's be allies. I would think that your numbers would be around 1000 elves, not 200 elves. And does Mirkwood have men in its army?
About the number of elves, there is no way that Mirkwood only has 200 elves. That's less than my original application As said earlier, more like 700-1000 at least.

Seems fair enough, though I'm not exactly sure that the Mordor or Rhun forces look halved to me.

Besides the ones the Elves capture, no men really. But the fact I only have technically one thing to base a whole army off of is kind of lame. I thought I could only be one character?

[Elerian]

I have some unneeded goblins. How many goblin troops do you want?

I'd like 200 Orcs and about 500 Goblins.

Nope, pretty sure you can have more than one. I would say this 150 Elven pikes, 500 Elven swordsmen, and 600 Elven archers. Though, unfortunately, it's not up to me.

I thought that in your app the population had a little bit of elf?

Would 1,000 goblins be ok?

[Elerian]

I have a Dragon Character and Tharbad. This is for my Dragon character.

Seems fair enough, though I'm not exactly sure that the Mordor or Rhun forces look halved to me.

Hah, Sauron deployed at the Pelennor Fields alone a hundred thousand Orcs, and that was but a portion of his force. At least another sixty thousand Orcs were at the Black Gate, and the host in northern Gondor, and the forces still in Osgiliath, and the forces in Dol Guldur.

I started this RP with only a bit over a hundred thousand Orcs.

[Elves of Mirkwood]

Well I guess I could make a subsection of Mirkwood elves.
Like;

Ranger of Mirkwood: 8
Something like that I guess.

I'd do that if I didn't have only 2000 points right now, haha.

[Elerian]

1,000 Goblins and 50 Orcs for breeding stock.

Alright then, too bad, I think I'll just not build the western fortress, but let's see what Liech says.

[Bearon]

You get 2,000 points to spend a turn. It isn't like that when making an app.

Oh no lad; you start with whatever forces you can justify from canon, halved. The 2000 is only for recruitment of further forces.

See! I was right!

[Bearon]

1,000 Goblins and 50 Orcs for breeding stock.

And you'll return the orcs when you have sufficient breeding stock of your own?

The canon...?
Where would I be able to find that?

Also, what defines a turn, a IC?

[Bearon]

1 page.

[Elerian]

1,000 Goblins and 50 Orcs for breeding stock.

And you'll return the orcs when you have sufficient breeding stock of your own?

Yea, that sounds alright.
