Mordor is one of the most aggressive factions with an open fortress, which provides either 6 or 8 plots depending on the starting position encircled with 7 or 9 defensive plots. The whole gameplay of the faction is focused on the central hero Sauron, who is responsible for the development of upgrades and activation of various forces. By fulfilling tasks the power of Sauron may be multiplied and expanded, whereby various heroes who are linked to his will become more powerful at the same time. Mordor has a variety and mass of different troops, but they are weaker than other factions in direct fight. On settlements and outposts troops from Minas Morgul, Cirith Ungol, and Dol Guldur may be recruited.
The castle of Mordor is equipped with nine defensive plots all around the outside and four around the citadel. On these four central defensive plots, the player can build wall catapults, barricades, or Guardians of Cirith Ungol, which can cast a fear spell pushing enemies away from the base. It doesn't posses any walls but has small spiked fences placed on intervals which will force units to walk around but won't stop projectiles. The fences can be targets and destroyed but cannot be rebuilt. It possesses 8 main building plots and 9 defensive plots on which the player can either build a Sentry Tower, a weak short range defensive tower, or a Mordor Banner, which increases the recruitment speed of buildings near it by 25%.
The camp doesn't have the four central defensive plots, but the player can still build either Sentry Towers or Mordor Banners on the seven defensive plots that will be upgraded once the Battle Tower is under Sauron's Influence. On the camp you only have access to six build plots and there are fewer of the spiked fences.
The outpost can be selected to build either Minas Morgul, Dol Guldur or a basic Mordor Outpost where the Orc Tent, Slave Camp, Slaughterhouse, Troll Cage, Great Siege Works, and Battle Tower can be constructed.
Naval units are the only ones which can travel over water. They are built at shipwrights, which need to be captured. Once captured, the player can train the units, but if another player captures it, training will be canceled.
Shagrat was a large, long-armed orc, Captain of the Tower of Cirith Ungol, and one of the orcs who found Frodo Baggins after he had been poisoned by Shelob. Gorbag was an Orc Captain of the Cirith Ungol, originally from Minas Morgul.
In the Edain Mod, they are paired together. The player can switch between either, as they please, with a small cooldown between each switch. They both attack with the sword but while Gorbag deals slight poison damage, Shagrat's attacks deals AoE damage.
In the Edain Mod, he is recruited from the Castle/Camp citadel on foot (although he can later mount a warg) and comes to support the troops of Mordor with various abilities. He use a crude blade to strike clumsily at his foes, and due to weird code bugs will tend to aim for the enemy backline, make sure to watch him at all times.
In the centuries since the Dark Marshal and his fellow kings became Ringwraiths, he has become even more sadistic and malicious. The most black-hearted and unrelentingly cruel of all the Nazgl, his name is a byword for misery and death. Where the Dark Marshal passes, evil creatures fight harder, fearful of their lives whilst good warriors feel the icy touch of death upon their hearts.
In the Edain Mod, he is recruited as a veiled Nazgul armed with a sword, his face hidden and spreading terror in the heart of his enemies. Once the power of Mordor is increased sufficiently, the player can either chose to send him out to seek the One Ring atop his fell beast or he can gear up in his dark armor and turn all of his malice against the enemies of Mordor, even deadlier than before.
The Shadow Lord was once the king of a small and insignificant kingdom. When Sauron offered him one of the Nine Rings, the promise of its power proved irresistible. Now, his physical being all but gone, and his will enslaved to Sauron, the Shadow Lord wears his dark pride like a cloak, blotting the sun from the sky and dimming the sight of his foes.
In the Edain Mod, he is recruited as a veiled Nazgul armed with a sword, his face hidden and spreading terror in the heart of his enemies. Once the power of Mordor is increased sufficiently, the player can decide, just like for the Dark Marshal, to send him out to seek the One Ring or he can drape himself in robes weaved with dark spells and bring death to all of Mordor's enemies.
Khaml was one of the nine Ringwraiths, second to the Witch-King, in Middle-earth after Arnor was defeated. During the Third Age, he held Dol Guldur as Sauron's lieutenant. After the Witch-King was slain, he became the Lord of Nazgl for a short period.
In the Edain Mod, he is recruited on foot at the Dol Guldur Outpost as a veiled Nazgul. He can later be unveiled and will then reveal his true power as a building destroyer. In addition, he can mount his fell beast once unveiled.
The Mouth of Sauron was a living man, the ambassador and messenger of Sauron, the Lieutenant of the Dark Tower of Barad-dr in Middle-earth and one of the most devoted and dark servants of Sauron at the time of the War of the Ring. His true name had been forgotten, even by himself.
In the Edain Mod, he is recruited from the Citadel and comes riding out on his black steed, armed with a sword. He is well versed in dark magic and can use his words to charm his enemies and put upon them diverse curses. When all else fails, he can channel the power of his master into deadly magic attacks or use his sword to fend for himself.
The Witch-king of Angmar was the leader of the Nazgl or Ringwraiths, and Sauron's second-in-command in the Second and Third Ages. Once a king of men, he was corrupted by one of the nine Rings of Power given to the lords of men and became an undead wraith in the service of Sauron. He is also present in the Angmar faction.
In the Edain Mod, he is recruited from the Minas Morgul Outpost as veiled Nazgul of terrifying power and can even be unveiled later on to increase his strength. He will then wield a mace he can use to deal AoE damage. He is one of the most expensive heroes to fully power since his based recruitment cost is 2000 resources and to unveil him costs 1500 resources, a total of 3500 (if you don't count having to recruit Sauron).
Mollok is the king of the trolls. He is clad in battle armor that renders him very resistant to damage, yet he is one of the most underused heroes. He was never named but is based off the Troll that attacked Aragorn at the battle of the Black Gate.
In the Edain Mod, he can be recruited from the Castle/Camp citadel wielding a giant blade. His attacks deal a heavy AoE damage and inflict knockback, meaning he can take on lots of unit at once. However, be careful of spear armed infantry, who will quickly reduce his health to nothing since he can also trampled units dealing minor damage and knocking them back.
Sauron was a Maia and main antagonist during the War of the Ring. He was the creator of the One Ring and can wield it to devastating ends. He was defeated many times during the history of Middle Earth, but he always came back stronger and dealing even more damage to the Free People until he was finally defeated.
In the Edain Mod, Sauron is the central point in the strategy of Mordor, his power affects all around him and as he rises in level, so do the Nazgul and the Mouth of Sauron. He his recruited in his shadow form who attacks with black waves of death but can switch to many different forms depending on the powers used on him. Once recruited, he can never be killed, if all of his health is spent he will become a simple shadow for some time and then return in his Shadow form no matter the form he died in.
