Elves:

100 align is enough to deter people from choosing the faction. Reduce the crafting and title to 25 align. 2nd title can be 500 and the 3rd can be 1000. Smithing galvorn isn't a thing that should happen anyway, but the align should be at most 2,000. Drinking miruvoir should only require 50 align, unless you really think the fellowship had 1,000 when Gandalf was passing it around. The unit costs are rediculous compared to other factions. Right now, they are already higher. Just an increase of 50 or 100 from the current reqs would work.

Dwarves:

Same thing as the elves for titles and stuff. Just 5k is a lot of alignment. 3,000 would be a good amount for smithing mithril. The units could have the same alterations as the elves. Dwarven tonic should only need 200 align. It already needs mithril to craft anyways.

Orcs:

Basicly the same problems.

Fangorn:

The ents hadn't heard of hobbits when Treebeard gave them ent draught. Just make it 10 align or something like that. Hiring is fine at 500 align, with fangorn having such a small area of influence. I agree with you on the point of the drinks Direranger.

On the point of 10,000 alignment, I must persist. I find it equally ridiculous to call someone a high elven lord when they have a measly 1000 with an elven faction. Perhaps 10k is too much, but it really doesn't take long for someone to get 1k on most servers if they are dedicated.

Mithril is, of course, Mithril. This is a rare commodity, and should be treated as such.

As for increase for hired units, Elves live FOREVER. Some of the people you are hireing could be old enough to have known your grandfather's grandfather's grandfather. It is HIGHLY unlikely that they would simply take orders from anyone who was anything less than exceptional by human standards.

Dwarves and orcs could probably get a reduction, but not by much I think.
