Interesting read, certainly agree with 1 and 3. Not sure about Lindon, I think maybe you've spent too much time hanging out there. :P

Another strategically strong location is Isengard. Besides the fact that Orthanc was unbreakable, the Isengard biome in the mod is surrounded by the Misty Mts. on three sides, which certainly helps.

Then there's the whole Ford of Isen battle. Obviously, the Fords were a major line of defense between Rohan and Isengard, as it was the main crossing point of the Isen. However, the Isen could also be crossed up by Isengard. This meant that Saruman could send troops down both sides of the Isen, whereas Rohan only had access to the east side. Suffice to say, that made it rather difficult for the Rohirrim to defend the Fords. :P
