1. Fordlindon should actually be Forlindon (no 'd' between 'for' and 'lindon')
2. Ement should actually be Emnet (the 'm' and the 'n' are reversed)
3. Dagorland should actually be Dagorlad (no 'n')
4. Dorwinon should actually be Dorwinion (like 'dominion')
5. Sea of Ruhn should actually be Sea of Rhun ('u' and 'h' reversed)
Technically, there are also some accent marks missing here and there too, but let's not get into that.
Anyway, it's still a great map (lots of fun to play) despite the spelling aberrations. ;-}

I just took my turn in game 2672021
after the following sequence:
2008-06-24 07:37:39 - scottp attacked Ered Lithui from Sea of Ruhn and conquered it from Wellington_
2008-06-24 07:37:50 - scottp attacked Dagorland from Ered Lithui and conquered it from Wellington_
2008-06-24 07:38:04 - scottp attacked Mt. Doom from Dagorland and conquered it from ElijahThomas
2008-06-24 07:38:14 - scottp attacked Ithilien from Mt. Doom and conquered it from ElijahThomas
I had attacked Ithilien from Mt. Doom with 4 armies and moved 3 armies total onto Ithilien. I then decided to end attacks. I got the message "You cannot make any Fortifications" or something to that effect.
I WANTED to fortify 2 armies from Ithilien onto Dagorland, which is clearly "linked" to Ithilien.
The game is [Game Type: Doubles, Play Order: Sequential, Bonus Cards: Flat Rate, Fortifications: Unlimited, Fog of War: No] so I SHOULD have been able to move those two armies to any connecting territory, including Sea of Ruhn, Ered Lithui, Dagorland or Mt. Doom.
I played this turn using IE 6 with no plug-ins or add-ons or scripts running.
Was this a one-time hiccup with the server, or is there a problem with the map? thanks!

I was more upset about this one dying than the classic. Even though I haven't seen any of the Lord of the Rings movies or read the books it was my favourite map because it was so well balanced (you could win from so many continents unlike classic and oceania) and had great aesthetics. Hope to see this one back, hopefully somewhere close to how good it was previously.
