Invasions are terrifying, but they add a whole lot into LOTR mod. I think, like any invasion, the invaders should take or capture their enemies townsfolk. They can't put up a fight, and will be overpowered easily. Whether orcs capturing slaves to work the wheat fields, or elves getting hostages which you see in elf tower prisons, all invaders (and players as well) should be able to capture other people.

There should be two items which are added. Chains, and Ropes. Chains will be made out of iron, and created on a normal crafting table. Chains will be items which can be right clicked on normal NPC villagers or townsfolk, and they will have a chain attached to them, much like a lead in vanilla minecraft. This will do 1/2 heart damage when you put it on, and no-one attacks a chained NPC. This is one way of capturing the people, and the captured person will follow you.

The second item is rope, and it is crafted in the same way, except with string. Rope doesn't damage the captured NPC, but still works in the same way.

The reason you would only be able to capture normal people, is that soldiers would put up fights, and would rather die than be chained and led around like dogs. While you could be doubting the usefulness of this addition (if it would be added) this could be your way of getting free farm-workers! After you have chained or roped the NPC, and brought them to the place you want, when you right click again, (taking off the chain or rope) you have yourself a captured sla... ahem, "free laborer." They will open up the same GUI as normal farmhands, and you can put a hoe and seeds in as well. And you don't have to pay any Tauredain or Hobbit farmer! Perfect!

'''This couldn't ALL be sugar and cream however. When you capture an NPC, your alignment with that faction would decrease to -5, for every unit you "catch". Another thing, I don't think this could work with orcs, as they would rather kill themselves than become slaves, although you COULD steal their slaves of Nurn!'''

This is my idea, long as always! Hope you like my idea, and kudos it! Have a good day! :D
