Lure of the Rings

geddit??

Using the map at http://www.ititches.com/middleearth/, I'm trying to make a Warfish game involving the rings of power. So I'm laying out some conceptual groundwork first, before I get all crazy with map mechanics. --- SteveKillen 2010-04-24 17:21:30

• Twenty Rings total:

  • Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

  • Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

  • Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

  • One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

  • In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie....

• Each ring should convey power:
  • Knowledge is power in RISK.
  • Fog of War restricts knowledge.
  • Ergo, a ring should clear fog of war.
• Rings should be geographically consistent.
  • 9 distributed among territories of men
  • 7 among dwarves
  • 3 among elves
  • 1 in Mordor
• Regions:
  • Lindon
  • Eriador
  • Rhovanion
  • Rohan
  • Gondor
  • Rhûn
