The factions just don't seem to fit what the mod team has planned out for Far Harad. I can't exactly explain why, but they don't fit the style, the essence, of the mod's vision. The ancient rivalry between the two factions, the levels of sophistication, and history of these groups (especially the heritage, and the Duinhoth's hatred of Sauron). The names are also somewhat lacking-there are coasts and rivers all over the world. I don't mean to be rude, I'm just offering my honest opinion here.

I'm also afraid those textures aren't going to cut it for the mod's strict standards. They look a little cartoonish and oversaturated, imo, and the flags looks honestly like the Liberia's state flags.

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) 1. The rivalry is both from their schism & from the feud between their ancestors, the Morwaith & Taurethrim.

2. The Falaswaith are slightly more sophisticated (in metal working) than the Taurethrim, while the Duinhoth are slightly more so than the Falaswaith. Also, once I'm done with the map, they're actually quite isolated.

3. The history is merely a prototype. I'll work on it.

4. Well, I can't really think of another name for either of them. But if you can, lore master, then I'll change them.

Everything in the suggestions board (endorsed or normal) is an opinion.
