P1 (Blue, Gondor and Rohan):
-Gondor has a large number of heroes, but they tend to be weak with only few upgrades.
-If Boromir and Faramir die, or if Minas Tirith is destroyed, Denethor will kill himself.
-Bring Aragorn (Strider) to the following locatiosn for upgrades: Rivendell, Lorien, the Path of the Dead (near Dunharrow) & Erech.
-If Dunharrow is destroyed before Aragorn opens the Path of the Dead, the way will be shut forever and the Oathbreakers will be unable to be summoned. Aragorn can still be crowned king at Minas Tirith, however.
-If Aragorn reforges Narsil, summons the Oathbreakers, and enters Minas Tirith, he will be able to wed Arwen.
-Marrying Arwen allows the birth of Eldarion if Aragorn dies, but required that Minas Morgul be destroyed first.
-Theoden is weakened by Grima Wormtongue and will not regenerate (he can still be healed by monks) unless Gandalf the White purges him. Both must be in Edoras and Edoras must still be standing for this to occur.
-If Theoden is killed while under the influence of Wormtongue, all settlements in Rohan will take significant damage.
-However, if Theoden dies after he is cured, then all of Gondors heroes will get a slight increase to attack.
-Boromir can be slightly upgraded by visiting Rivendell and Lorien.

P2 (Red, Sauron/Mordor):
-Mordor's heroes are generally moderately to significantly stronger than human heroes.
-Sauron starts out as the Necromancer in Dol Guldur. Returning to Mordor will give him a significant boost in power, but he is slow and vulnerable.

-The Witch-King can travel to Carn Dum in Angmar, which will restore the fortress and upgrade the Witch-King.
-The original Sauron unit can be killed without losing everything.
-Killing Sam and Frodo will grant a major boost to both Sauron and the Witch-King. If Sauron dies, or if he has already died, he will be resurrected in his First Age form as Gorthaur the Cruel.
-If Gorthaur dies, or the ring is brought to Mount Doom, the Black Gate, Barad-Dur and Minas Morgul will be destroyed, the Nazgul will be unable to respawn, the Witch-King andthe Mouth of Sauron will be killed and any standing feitorias will be destroyed for ALL evil players.
-The Mouth of Sauron can visit Umbar and Rhun to gain tribute for all three nations by travelling to the Feitorias in Umber and Mistrand. This is repeatable, and each arrival will grant all evil players 400 gold.

-Elven heroes are generally slightly to moderately stronger than human heroes.
-If Arwen dies or if Rivendell is destroyed, Elrond will leave Middle-Earth.

-All of the hobbits gain upgrades from visiting Breeland (anywhere from Bree to the Barrow-downs), Rivendell and Lorien if they visit these locations together.
-Gandalf can become the White immediately, but if he visits Isengard, Bree, Lorien, Rivendell, the Shire, and/or Minas Tirith as the Gray Wizard, he will be much, much more powerful.
-Gandalf the White can cure Theoden if both are broguht to Edoras while it still stands, which will give a minor upgrade as well.
