There are 26 playable factions in this submod that can generally be divided into two groups: The "good" factions and the "evil" factions. This is the morality axis Tolkien himself based his legendarium on and Divide and Conquer stays true to this. This does not mean that the player cannot choose who to ally with and who to fight, but there are certain limits, e.g. an alliance must first be broken via diplomacy. Wars between evil factions and more frequently between good ones are indeed not unheard of, either through AI choices or through scripts. Additionally the '''Clans of Enedwaith''' faction starts with neither allies nor enemies and can therefore choose sides freely. '''Ar-Adunaim''', who replaced Umbar from previous versions, start as a neutral horde nation, therefore they can choose where they will land and which side they will join - when controlled by A.I., however, they always land in Umbar and become aligned with evil. '''Variags of Khand''' can swith sides and become one of the good nations if they accept Blue Wizards in an event.

Starting positions as of v4.5

There are 26 playable factions in this submod that can generally be divided into two groups: The "good" factions and the "evil" factions. This is the morality axis Tolkien himself based his legendarium on and Divide and Conquer stays true to this. This does not mean that the player cannot choose who to ally with and who to fight, but there are certain limits, e.g. an alliance must first be broken via diplomacy. Wars between evil factions and more frequently between good ones are indeed not unheard of, either through AI choices or through scripts. Additionally the Clans of Enedwaith faction starts with neither allies nor enemies and can therefore choose sides freely. Ar-Adûnâim, who replaced Umbar from previous versions, start as a neutral horde nation, therefore they can choose where they will land and which side they will join - when controlled by A.I., however, they always land in Umbar and become aligned with evil. Variags of Khand can swith sides and become one of the good nations if they accept Blue Wizards in an event.


Factions Overview: Morality (v4.5)
Good Evil Neutral
1 Kingdom of Gondor Mordor Clans of Enedwaith
2 Principality of Dol Amroth Dol Guldur Ar-Adûnâim (replaced Umbar)
3 Northern Dúnedain Dominion of Isengard -
4 Kingdom of Rohan Goblins of Moria -
5 Bree-land and the Shire Orcs of Gundabad -
6 Kingdom of Dale Haradrim Tribes -
7 Vale of Dorwinion Variags of Khand (at start) -
8 Anduin Vale Easterlings of Rhûn -
9 Dwarves of Khazad-dûm Dunlendings -

11 Dwarves of Ered Luin Haven of Umbar (replaced by Ar-Adûnâim) -
12 High Elves - -
13 Woodland Realm - -
14 Realm of Lothlórien - -


Furthermore, factions can be classified according to culture. There are nine cultures in the game, plus one "other" culture, scarcely seen in some settlements. Cultures are mostly either good or evil, so Dúnedain, Northmen, Dwarves and Elves include only good factions, while Melkor's Shadow and Men of the East include only evil factions. Middlemen culture is split between good Bree-land, evil Dunlendings and neutral Clans of Enedwaith. Ar-Adunaim start neutral with their unique culture called King's Men, but when controlled by AI, they always join evil factions. Variags of Khand can switch cultures from evil Men of the East to the good-alligned Nomadic if they accept Blue Wizards in an event.
