Re: Hmmmmm?

It probably would have taken a while to move everyone, but as for not working I think it would. You see before the enemy was within but at this point the enemy is without. All that needs to be done is fortify it a little better. All of the enemies that were in Eriador were for the most part destroyed so it would be easy to maintain, the only enemies still there that I can think of would be the Dunlendings and maybe some orcs. Khand and the Harad would be too far south to be a threat, as would be the Wainriders from the east. With only these small nuisances such as Dunlendings, the Dunedain could build their army plus, they would be closer too the elves and would gain much in friendship with them. After a while they could expand and take over Gondor again and it would be even stronger than before.

Not that it would work in real life, but I have done this before in strategy games, such as AoE, I would be at war with another civilization, so what I do is move several of my men from my first civilization to another part of the board, behind natural bounderies. If my first civilization is destroyed I have the other already started and it is much easier to defend even with a smaller amount of people.
