Dear all,,

I really love the Ring of Isengard, but I think it's a bit oversized. The height of it - it's almost a mountain, far too big for a built structure, and the diameter: it's a whole county in there.

This has some effects on game-play: firstly, it is almost impossible to protect the ring from people just digging through it, making any alterations (even adding a gate) requires an army of co-workers... and last but not least even the mightiest Tower of Orthanc you might want to build in the middle will always be dwarved by this mighty bastion.

I believe for gameplay it would be much better if its radius were no more than ca. 200 blocks and no more than ca. 20 blocks high.

Mind you, one would still require an awful lot of gold blocks to banner-protect the whole structure, and any alteration to the ring would still be a massive task. It just wouldn't be overwhelmingly massive any more.
