Event • Regroup
Exert a minion to exert a companion bearing a condition. If that companion cannot exert, add a burden instead.

Awesome love it.
 Taken By Madness
Event • Skirmish
Make a companion skirmishing a or  minion strength -2 for each condition borne by that companion.

Very cool.
Servants of The Enemy
Event • Skirmish
Spot a condition to make a hunter Nazgûl or tracker strength +1 for each burden you can spot (limit +6).
“‘And I should have killed you already without so much talk. If I was after the Ring, I could have it – NOW!’”
Yeah Thrans right remove limit. If you have more than 6 burdens strength events are the least of your worries! Youre pretty shafted anyway so this would just be funny. Though i might be tempted to up the cost (and give toil if u deem it appropriate).

Alright, I made a couple small changes, and finally have some NEW cards!  Enjoy!
Orc Harasser
Minion • Orc
Strength: 5
Vitality: 3
Site: 6
Tracker. To play, spot a minion.
This minion is strength +2 for each Shadow card borne by a companion skirmishing this minion.
His minions can sense despair and doubt in their enemies, and feed off of it.
 Orc Hounder
Minion • Orc
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Site: 6
Tracker. To play, spot a tracker.
Each companion skirmishing this minion is strength -1 for each Shadow card borne by that companion (and each burden if that companion is the Ring-bearer).
“‘...have we here the strength to withstand the Enemy, the coming of Sauron at the last, when all else is overthrown?’”
Orc Butcher (reprint...again)
Minion • Orc
Strength: 6
Vitality: 2
Site: 6
For each condition you can spot, this minion is stength +1.
“‘And yet we see that Sauron can torture and destroy the very hills.’” |

Why not make it Shadow condition? Surely he wouldn’t get bonuses for Sting of Shelob, for example. Other than that, I think you could safely raise his strength to 6.

I don’t like the brackets (both because it’s too complicated and too good), but the rest of the card is fine (same note on Shadow card though).

Im uneasy with the wording but hes ok. Im a little uneasy about giving a big minus strength to companions. This would kill most RB’s with a few burdens. You have to be careful with reducing a comps strength not adding to a minions as overwhelms become easy peasy.

Hey, remember these guys? No? I can hardly blame you. Last update in this thread was...uh...well, nevermind when. 
Truth be told, I...uh...forgot about this culture.  But as I’m going through The Road Ahead the other day, trying to figure out what I need to do to finish it, I came across this poor, abandoned culture.
So, let’s get this going again. We’ve mostly focused on trackers to this point. How about some NON-tracker stuff? Enjoy!
These three guys are a nod to the "Tower" Orcs of the Fellowship block and the "Gate" Orcs of the last Tower block and first King block sets. They have the stats of the "Tower"s and abilities more in line with the "Gate"s.
Tower Trooper
Minion • Orc
Strength: 9
Vitality: 2
Site: 6
When you play this minion, if you can spot 4 burdens, you may draw a card.
“‘...for they look out over the Dead Marshes and the Noman-lands to Cirith Gorgor and the black gates of Mordor.’”
 Tower Veteran
Minion • Orc
Strength: 10
Vitality: 3
Site: 6
When you play this minion, the Free Peoples player must add or discard a card from hand.
“The Dark Tower had been rebuilt, it was said. From there the power was spreading far and wide, and away far east and south there were wars and growing fear.”
 •Tower Commander
Minion • Orc
Strength: 11
Vitality: 2
Site: 6
Each time you play a condition, you may remove (or if that condition plays on a companion) and exert a Orc to add a burden.
“‘If a man must needs walk in sight of the Black Gate, or tread the deadly flowers of Morgul Vale, then perils he will have.’”
•All Hope Left Him
Condition • Support Area
Each time the fellowship moves to a site in region 3, you may exert a minion to add a burden (or 2 burdens if the Ring-bearer bears a condition).
“...wall upon wall, battlement upon battlement, black, immeasurably strong, mountain of iron, gate of steel, tower of adamant, he saw it: Barad-dûr, Fortress of Sauron.”
I LOVE the lore (and title) from this one. Hope the text does it justice.
The Dark Tower
Condition • Support Area
To play, exert a minion.
Each time the fellowship moves, if you can spot a minion, the Free Peoples player must discard a card from hand.
“‘Those who pass the gates of Barad-dûr do not return.’”
Sort of a more balanced Tower of Barad-dûr...for a more civilized age, I suppose.  |

I dont think the exertion is necessary if you can already spot 4 burdens.

Isnt this already a card title?  Cool.

Yeah thats a cool card. May even cost 0.

coolio! maybe give freeps a way to prevent, like adding 4 or 3 and a threat?

works though It should cost more IMHO. with thin and stretched burdens add really fast...possibly 7 in region 3 alone.

Very TT, but I agree with lem0n I think, or you could lower it to 2 or 3.

Which Tower are these titles referring to? Seems too costly, no? Maybe make it outright, assuming you have no cards that play conditions out of phase.

Rephrase: ’... spot a minion to make the Free Peoples player...’ But I don’t complain.

Mixed opinions on that last bunch, so I mostly left them alone (since they’re somewhere in the middle of differing viewpoints). But I did make a couple small tweaks.
As I promised in my current Ages of Middle-earth thread, I will be updating ALL my current DC threads over the next 24 hours. And since this has been sitting dormant the longest, I thought I’d start here!
You probably don’t remember it, but WeyounsLastClone designed this card as part of my recent DC contest. It wasn’t a winning entry, but it was close, and I liked how it worked with other cards in my set, so I plucked it out and dropped it in.
Morgul Raider
Minion • Orc
Strength: 9
Vitality: 3
Site: 6
Tracker.
When you play this minion, you may remove to choose one: draw 2 cards, then discard a card from hand; or make the Free Peoples player draw a card, then discard 2 cards from hand.
The Orcs of Sauron were as focused on self-preservation as on the destruction of their enemy.
- WeyounsLastClone
I’ve made two Orcs along the same vein to ensure WLC’s card REALLY fits. Enjoy!
Morgul Pillager
Minion • Orc
Strength: 7
Vitality: 2
Site: 6
Tracker.
When you play this minion, you may remove to make the Free Peoples player choose one: discard 2 cards from hand; discard 2 cards from the top of his or her draw deck; or discard 2 Free Peoples cards from play.
“‘Of course the Enemy has other servants, but they will have to journey all the way to the borders of Rivendell....’”
•Morgul Marauder
Minion • Orc
Strength: 11
Vitality: 3
Site: 6
Tracker.
When you play Morgul Marauder, you may exert it and remove to make the Free Peoples player choose one: add a burden; or discard X cards from hand, where X is the number of other minions you can spot.
“‘Thus the Enemy knows now that the One is found, that it was long in the Shire; and since his servants have pursued it almost to our door, he soon will know, already he may know, even as I speak, that we have it here.’”
These may be our last Orcs of the set, but it is certainly not the last minions.  I also need to beef up conditions and especially events, so I’ll be getting to those soon-ish too. |
