Here's how it works: you get one (and only one) point which you can either add to the army you think is most competitive, or subtract from the army you think is least competitive. All armies will start with five points; once they get to zero or ten they are not included any more. This keeps on going until there are no armies left.

Gondor and Arnor - 5
Rohan - 5
Elves - 5
Dwarfs - 5
Mordor - 5
Isengard - 5
Moria - 5
Fallen Realms - 5
Angmar - 5

Difficult to choose between +1 Mordor and -1 Angmar :D

Gondor and Arnor - 5
Rohan - 5
Elves - 5
Dwarfs - 5
Mordor - 7
Isengard - 5
Moria - 5
Fallen Realms - 5
Angmar - 4

I went with -1 Angmar because Mordor is only competitive due to having almost everything in it, whereas Angmar is only any good as an ally, but only in huge games because everything costs so much and you can't have characters in a large number of formations and the formations are mostly small and there's VERY little choice.

Strange really, Mordor and Angmar are the best and worst armies, yet they're kind of the most similar...

If I am keeping track correctly, Mordor was put to 8 in a short-handed post so:

Rohan - 6
Elves - 5
Dwarfs - 5
Mordor - 9
Isengard - 5
Moria - 5
Fallen Realms - 5

Mordor isn't actually a '9' vs say Gondor on '5'. It's just that Mordor is being bidded up to be the first voted off the island.

normally i would be loyal to the pointy ears but atm without high elf knights 'n stuff they simply aren't as competitive as some other armies. personally i would put fallen realms above mordor so:

Gondor and Arnor - 5
Rohan - 6
Elves - 5
Dwarfs - 5
Isengard - 5
Mordor - 9
Moria - 5
Fallen Realms - 6
Angmar - 4

dwarves r a pretty strong army imo not that i played a great vareity of armies. i've only played with/against dwarves, elves, uruks and 1 game against haradhrim...im not that great with them but im sure that in the hands of a good tactician they would b a very powerful force

I personally think the Mordor is without a doubt the most competitive army. It has no weakness, except for the low courage that can be easily countered. It also had brilliant basic troops (Morannon Orcs), the Nazgul, and lots of variety.

i have to give a plus 1 to Mordor (since i only have one vote) they are the most well rounded force. though dwarves are a close second and would give even mordor a fit

but plus one to mordor

Gondor and Arnor - 5
Rohan - 6
Elves - 6
Dwarfs - 6
Isengard - 5
Moria - 5
Fallen Realms - 6
Angmar - 4

Since Mordor is now gone and I am a big fan of how the Elves play I have to give a point to Elves.

Really? Elves don't seem that good to me and I even play them. I mean they're ok but they're not on the class of Gondor or the fallen realms IMO.

I'm surprised no one's gone for Gondor yet, they'd be my second choice.

From now on, include Mordor as 1st, so (at the moment) it'll be like this:

Gondor and Arnor - 5
Rohan - 6
Elves - 6
Dwarfs - 6
Mordor - 1st
Isengard - 5
Moria - 5
Fallen Realms - 6
Angmar - 4
