But it's too easy!:'' I think that doing this stuff is way too easy! (The missles could be a stretch...) But It's time for some changes! By no stretch of the imagination is this mod too easy! You may be able to get some iron kinda fast, and throw up a small, house, but not only do you need that, but you have to dream higher than that! There are whole new regions to explore! In this mod you build castles, and explore the wide reaches of the earth! You don't just make a cow farm and a oak plank cube for a house. Iron isn't any more common in the shire than in the over world, (that I could tell), so don't complain about it being too common. It is Middle-Earth in minecraft, which means NOT a Middle-Earth in a hardcore modpack. Therefore, it's okay for surviving to be easy. But have you tried getting the world-walker achievement? If not, let me tell you how hard that is. There aren't enough good/passive biomes to saunter through, so that means that you have to enter ENEMY territory to get this achievement. Which happens to be difficult. Very difficult.

This brings me to my other point. Unless you are getting +100 fps on this mod, (not likely) then you won't be able to chew through invasions, and get cheap, easy, and reliable alignment. Alignment simply takes TIME to get, which means that you cannot make a high tech base with soldiers and everything in a few minutes, you will literally have to grind for weeks to reach just +500 alignment.

This is Minecraft, and even though this is a mod we're talking about, all vanilla features that can stay will stay, as it is not Middle-Earth in a highly modded modpack, just Middle-Earth in Minecraft, which means no fatigue and maybe even no thirst.

But if you really are getting bored of that (well frankly I don't understand you) then why don't you try building Minas Tirith or something if you're so good hot stuff? :P There is much more to do in this mod than getting iron armor. Especially on servers. If you are in single player, try leading an army into mordor or something and see how far you can get on foot? Just use your imagination, and the world is yours! I got 500 alignment in one day. For 6 days straight.
