Don't joke about serious issues.
Crap mods kill games.

I'd say what Aaron has pretty strong dominion here.

And it seems that Nerfix wants to start anti-LOTR cult too. It may be a good idea to add this theme to Marignon Empire because they will PURGE the world of all heretics and LOTR fans by fire.

I don't want to see a SINGLE, BUGGY, STUPID MOD WITH IDIOTIC NATIONS LIKE ELVES OR ORCS FOR DOMINIONS II. IT RUINS A PERFECTLY GOOD GAME BY JUST EXISTING!

Seriously you should stop this. Mods are adding a lot to the games, also they are helping to keep the games ALIVE. Just check out the civ3 fanatics community for example. Or there are many other fine examples.

IF you dont like the mods, dont play with them.
You have no valid points. If someone is buying the game to 1. play 2. make his own little world with it, there is NOTHING wrong in it.
I tell you that what makes a game to be one of the best: IF EVERYONE WHO OWNS THE GAME IS PLEASED AND HAPPY WITH EACH AND EVERY PART OF IT.

Marignon is too nice. Make it Ermor. I am so evil.

"I will HURT anybody who says WORD ELF ANYMORE with BANEFIRE!"
"E..."
*swoosh*
"ARARARARARARARARARAAAAAGGGHHH!"
*Muhahahahaaa..."

Oh wait... It would take too much time from my Dragon and Illwinter worshipping. Damn, blood slaves are so hard to come by nowadays!

A little off topic maybe... but what is there exactly to hate about LOTR? Fine if you hate Tolkein and his books that's one thing. Whether or not you like the movies is another, but please realize that they are bringing the world of fantasy to a broader audience, and that to me is a good thing. Obviously there are obsesors about it (no worse than Star Wars though), but to get more people interested in elves, and orcs, and evil wizards, seems to me that would leed to more games with fantasy themes, more books, more movies... And most importantly more customers to pay the developers of these games, books, movies...

Ok 90% of them will suck, but 90% of them already suck, so would you rather have 10 good games or 100 good games? Its all a matter of scale...

Anyway, what is the complaint about elves and orcs? They are everywhere, they are in Dom 1 and probably in Dom2, even if they arn't directly called as such. Have you read Robert Jordan? Ok his books suck bad now, but he has orcs, he just calls them Trollocks (gee that's imaginative no?) He may not have elves per se, but he's got about every fantasy themed empire running around somewhere, even if he doesn't come right out and call them by a common name.

I hate elves because they are forest-running treehugging uber-"human" militarist hippies. They are just so throughly disgusting.
Orcs because when there is Elves, there is Orcs to figth them.
From my experience, there is no Orcs in Dom I. Goblins, yes, but no orcs. And i can take Vanir, afterall, they have a bit diffrent kind of roots in mythology.
