Singing and Hoarse Shouting - interesting alternative to War Towers. I didn’t get the chance to examine your other DCs but Southron site control is IMO not very good. For now I’d probably stick with War Towers.
Sense of Duty - I think preventing the Ring-bearer from being assigned would save headaches down the road. (The again Decipher made Nertea DH, so....) Or possibly tweak the number of threats / require spotting X companions to give the Free Peoples player a bigger safety net, since the number of companions in play can be controlled. But it’s hard to make a judgment about it on paper, except to say it looks very cool. |

Anyway, we’re not done with Southrons JUST yet. Here’s a little more on threats, which I’ve made a big theme with them instead of the original Towers blocks’ burdens (I’m saving THOSE for Easterlings ). Enjoy!
Singing and Hoarse Shouting
Event • Maneuver
Spot a Southron to add a threat (or add 3 threats if you control a site).
“At first it seemed a long way off, but it drew nearer: it was coming towards them.”
Nice. A fairly decent card if you don’t have sites controlled, and dang good if you do.
Sense of Duty
Event • Assignment
Remove 3 threats to assign a minion to a companion. The Free Peoples player may discard a companion (except the Ring-bearer) to prevent this.
“‘War will make corpses of us all.’”
Nah, I don’t think it’s broken. If you just had to spot the threats, then...
*Maybe* make it exert the minion, too, though.
And yes, I intend for this to potentially work on the Ring-bearer. Too powerful? |
Never kid about politicians. The more bizarre the joke, the more likely it is to come true. |

Blech! I think I’d rather use War Towers any day, largely due to my prejudice against stupid site control.

Yes. Awesome card otherwise. Perhaps the cost could be reduced to make it unbound?

I would make it 2 or 4 IMSO

I’d either change the spotting to an exertion or 3 threats to 2.

Hmmm... really good with stuff like Mumak Commander, not to mention everything you’ve made. A Ninja Gollum / Raider hybrid deck with this card... Freeps death at 4 or 5.
I’d bump the cost to . |
I had to put something here. |

First off, I haven’t been saying "thanks" for reviews nearly enough lately. I used to thank everyone who reviewed, but I’ve lost that somewhere along the way.
So...thank you for the reviews, all! I DO appreciate them, always, even if I forget to tell you that. Thanks!
I raised the cost of Sense of Duty significantly, but otherwise left it (and Singing and Hoarse Shouting, which seems OP to some and UP to others) alone. Better now, or do I need to do something else? |

Probably fine. I’m still more likely to use War Towers, however. Perhaps increase the cost and the number of threats?
Other than that, all looking good.
Also, you don’t need to thank us. Can you imagine how bored we’d be if we didn’t review every card in sight?

I hear that. Thanks for giving me something to do to break the monotony of work. |
