Southern Mirkwood was the southern part of Mirkwood and surrounding the fastness of Dol Guldur.

Structures

 * Dol Guldur Towers: They should generate here as S.Mirkwood was the land of the Necromancer, meaning you can hire troops at here.
 * Ruined Wood-Elven Towers: The Mirkwood have previously been called Greenwood the Great, and Dol Guldur was originally known as Amon Lanc. Southern Mirkwood was greatly under the control of the Dark Lord, those ruins still witnessed the glorious days of Woodland Realm.
 * Spider's webs: There are structures generating in the branches of both Mirkwood and South Mirkwood. There aren't a single web, but hundreds of spider-webs connected forming a huge network like what did spiders do in The Hobbit. Although this structure doesn't need to add right now, it should be added sooner or later.
 * By the way, since I mentioned the webs, the height of Mirkwood trees also should be heightened, spiders that fell from trees incidentally were dead in The Hobbit.

Mobs
"But at the end of the Third Age a troll-race not before seen appeared in southern Mirkwood and in the mountain borders of Mordor. Olog-hai they were called in the Black Speech."

- The Lord of the Rings

According to the quote above, Olog-hai which are Mirk-trolls in the mod do spawn here. As Gandalf reminded Bilbo that before one could get round it in the South, he would get into the land of the Necromancer, most of the creatures of Dol Guldur (Dol Guldur Orcs, Spiders, Olog-hai of Mirkwood) should spawn here. The spawn rate may be slightly lower than its in Dol Guldur, or maybe not. Here are two solutions:
 * The spawn rate of Southern Mirkwood will be sightly lower than Dol Guldur.
 * I'm not sure about this, since Dol Guldur is already less challenge than other evil realms to me, even Angmar.
 * The spawn rate of S.Mirkwood will be same as current D.Guldur, increasing the spawn rate of Dol Guldur.
 * I prefer this one. Since towers will generate here and the spawn rate will be same, I promote that Mevans should decrease the size of Dol Guldur to its original size before beta 25.

I also suggest several new mobs and the reason to add them will be stated in following paragraphs.

New Mobs

 * Dol Guldur Orc Bombardier: Free People of Middle-earth may doubt this unit, but it is a part of greater plan that I will mention below. Dol Guldur Orc Bombardiers are canon and more lore-friendly that Angmar Orc Bombardiers. During the Battle Under the Trees, the woods are set alight, thus there is a "great ruin of fire". Currently, there is no way that the mobs of Dol Guldur to set anything alight. In the book the legion of Dol Guldur tried to invade the Golden Wood, and they caused much destruction in the bolder of the Wood. However, the current Dol Guldur invasions in Lothlórien edge can only cause casualties. Due to the reasons above, I suggest that there are some of Dol Guldur Orc Bombardiers should carry Orc Firebombs.
 * Spider Bombardier: This unit is an equivalent to Angmar Warg Bombardier, and it is also a part of great plan below. Spider Bombardiers are going to be interesting!

Vegetation
"There lies the fastness of Southern Mirkwood. It is clad in a forest of dark fir, where the trees strive one against another and their branches rot and wither."

- Haldir on The Fellowship of the Ring


 * Dark Fir: Unlike the most part of Mirkwood, South Mirkwood was a forest of dark fir. The reduced size of Dol Guldur (its size will be back to Beta 24, and Southern Mirkwood will bear the same functions of it and an even larger domain) would be surrounded by dark fisr. Imagine the Bald Hill is towered in the forest of dark fir... What a magnificent image!

Renaming
I know that alter a name is easy, so Mevans please lift a finger...
 * Mirk-troll --> Olog-hai, Mirkwood Olog-hai or Olog-hai of Mirkwood. Similarly, current Olog-hai could be renamed as Mordor Olog-hai for distinguish.
 * Mountain Troll --> Hill-troll: Click here for further information.
 * Hillmen --> Hill-men
 * Mirkwood Corrupted -->Mirkwood: Seriously, Mirkwood is already a name of corruption. The Wood would be called Greenwood the Great if it wasn't corrupted.

The Position of Dol Guldur and Angmar
Beside Southern Mirkwood, this part is kind of the most important one in the entire suggestion.

Let's probe positions or roles those two factions:

You may think Dol Guldur is a dead faction, too. However, only ten years after these events Sauron, now based in Mordor, sent the Witch-king of Angmar and the other Nazgûl to secretly reoccupy Dol Guldur and begin amassing an army of Orcs and Easterlings there.

My Solution
Each sections are corresponding to the table above.
