Okay, here’s the thread for discussion of the  culture for the AoN expansion. Currently, we have AC assigned to this culture. So...others can chip in and give advice, but AC will have the final word on everything. I’d encourage him to make DCs here and get feedback. Then, when he’s finished, he’ll post the final list of DCs.
There will be 11 cards for the culture.
Here’s a few thoughts of mine on this culture, just to get everything jump-started...just remember, as always, that AC has the final word.
It seems to be focused a lot on hunter in the Hunters block, and this looks like a good theme to tie everything together. There’s also a few fierce Uruks there, and some battleground tie-ins. Damage+1 would also be a cool thing to bring back. |

| Both Captain and Steeled could be used in this culture, I think. I can’t wait to see the cards you make! |

First 4:
 Ambushing Uruk
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 6
Vitality: 2
Site Number: 5
Fierce. Hunter 1.
While you cannot spot a Free Peoples captain, the Free Peoples player may not play skirmish events or use skirmish special abilities during skirmishes involving this minion.
 •Captain of Isengard
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 13
Vitality: 3
Site Number: 5
Captain. Damage +1.
While you control 2 sites (or you can spot a companion who has resistance 3 or less), this minion is fierce.
 •Dark Wave
Condition • Support Area
While you control a site, the twilight cost of the first minion played at each site is -1 (or -2 if you control 3 sites).
Shadow: Discard an minion from hand to add .
Hunter Blade
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +1
Bearer must be an minion.
If bearer is a hunter, bearer is strength +1 for each wounded companion you can spot (limit +3). |

Captain needs to be in bold. Also, taking by the name, shouldn’t he have AT LEAST Ambush ? Also, if he’s a hunter and an ambusher, then he’d be somewhat of a tracker, so he should either get the tracker keyword, and get a strength bonus on the second skirmish, or lose fierce.

Lose the "if".

Not flavorful enough... Maybe, "Plays on a site you control: the twilight cost of the first minion played at each site is -1 for each keyword it shares with the controlled site"?

Lose the "a", bold "hunter". |

A common misconception. It’s shouldn’t be in bold - see cards from the Hunters that reference the hunter keyword for an example.
Quote: Also, taking by the name, shouldn’t he have AT LEAST Ambush ?
No, not necessarily. I figured he’d "ambush" companions with his text, unless a captain was present.
Quote: Also, if he’s a hunter and an ambusher, then he’d be somewhat of a tracker, so he should either get the tracker keyword, and get a strength bonus on the second skirmish, or lose fierce.
Remember that Uruks in the culture are not trackers.
Quote: Not flavorful enough... Maybe, "Plays on a site you control: the twilight cost of the first minion played at each site is -1 for each keyword it shares with the controlled site"?
Eh, I don’t really like that ability that much. Seems kinda odd. I’ll change the card a bit though.
Quote: Lose the "a", bold "hunter".
For the first part, do the mean the ’a’ in ’If bearer is a hunter’? That would be incorrect, as you wouldn’t say ’If bearer is hunter’. As for the 2nd part, again, check out cards in Hunters, and you’ll realize that it shouldn’t be bold. |

Yeah, sorry about that, I was treating hunter as fierce...  Same goes for the "a", if it was a keyword in the same way fierce is, it shouldn’t have the a (even if "minion" was written after fierce). Again, sorry about that! 
I guess I’ll quit the developing team for this expansion, I’d have to study the newer cards to get some knowledge, and I don’t have that kind of time right now...
Good luck to you guys! I expect a great job! |

BTW, I’d love it if, as the cards come in, they get refined and edited, until we have a final product. I’m a bit of a perfectionist.  |
