Thorin III Stonehelm

* Portrait
* Ingame
* Stonehelm

"Then Bard II, Brand's son, became King in Dale, and Thorin III Stonehelm, Dáin's son, became King under the Mountain. They sent their ambassadors to the crowning of King Elessar; and their realms remained ever after, as long as they lasted, in friendship with Gondor; and they were under the crown and protection of the King of the West."
—Return of the King, Appendix B

Thorin III Stonehelm was the son of Dáin Ironfoot and prince of Erebor, following his father's coronation as King Under the Mountain. He and his father shared a close friendship with the Bardings and their king, Brand, with whom they fought side by side against the invading Easterling army towards the end of the War of the Ring. When Brand and Dáin fell at the gate of Erebor, it was Thorin who rallied the survivors within the Lonely Mountain to sally forth and drive off the Soldiers of Rhûn, who had started to falter after learning of Sauron's defeat in the South. Following this victory, Thorin III Stonehelm was crowned King Under the Mountain.

## Abilities

**Prince of Erebor** - When Thorin attacks, nearby troops gain +33% stackable damage during 5 seconds. Passive ability. At level 5, Thorin is accompanied by three Khazâd-uzbadul.

**Dwarven Grudge (R)** - Thorin knocks back enemy units and gains +50% attack speed for 15 seconds. Prince of Erebor's leadership is increased to 50% for 15 seconds. Left click icon then left click on target unit.

At Level 3, Thorin passively returns a percentage of damage dealt to him. Passive ability

**Level 5: Durin's Chosen (T)** - Thorin and nearby dwarven units briefly gain resistance to knockback and +75% damage. Thorin can crush enemies. Left click to activate.

**Level 8: Stonehelm (C)** - Thorin dons the Stonehelm and permanently gains +50% armour. Passive ability.

When activated, Thorin utters a terrifying shout, stunning enemies in his vicinity in terror for 15 seconds. Thorin and nearby friendly heroes gain +50% damage for 30 seconds. Left click to activate.

## Strategy

Similarly to his father, Thorin acts as a support hero that buffs nearby allies whilst being able to sustain heavy damage. However, he is far more aggressive than his father and must stay in combat for the player to gain the full effect of his bonuses. While his leadership is based on his own attacks, it can be improved by using **Dwarven Grudge** which improves Thorin's attack speed and the damage buff proved by **Prince of Erebor**. This power can also be used to knock over foes. Thorin can rally allies to him, buffing the damage of nearby dwarves and rendering them immune to knockback (making this power a strong counter to cavalry and monsters). Once at level 8, Thorin can use **Stonehelm** to stun foes, leaving them open for attack, as well as increase the damage of nearby friendly heroes - potentially allowing them to finish off an enemy base.
Westfolders

* Portrait
* Standard
* Upgraded
* Shield Wall

"Hastening down the long slopes, were a thousand men on foot; their swords were in their hands. Amid them strode a man tall and strong. His shield was red. As he came to the valley's brink, he set to his lips a great black horn and blew a ringing blast. "Erkenbrand!" the Riders shouted. "Erkenbrand!""
—Helms Deep, The Two Towers

After the burning of the Westfold at the hands of Isengard and the Wild Men of Dunland, the Westfold's finest soldiers marched with their Lord Erkenbrand to aid their King in his war against Saruman. They participated in the Battle of the Hornburg and helped turn the tide in the defending Rohirrim army's favour. They were renowned as the best infantry the Riddermark, which was normally known for its equestrian skill, had to offer.

In Age of the Ring, Westfolders are an elite swordsmen unit in Rohan, they can be recruited from a level 1 Barracks once Erkenbrand has been recruited. They also have a chance to be summoned by Rivendell's Many Meetings spell for 60s.

## Abilities and Formations

**Shield Wall Formation (W)**- Units gain +33% armour, -40% speed and arrow damage is reduced by 33%.

**Level 2:** **Forth Eorlingas! (R)** - Westfolders briefly gain +25% Damage and movement speed. Left click to activate.

## Upgrades

**Heavy Armour (T)** - When equipped, significantly reduces the amount of damage taken. Research upgrade at Barracks (Rohan) to enable this equipment. Cost: 300

**Forged Blades (C)** - When equipped, increases damage dealt by melee weapons. Research upgrade at Barracks (Rohan) to enable this upgrade. Cost: 300

**Banner Carrier (V)** - When equipped, increases this battalion to level 2. Research upgrade at Barracks (Rohan) to enable this equipment. Cost: 100

## Strategy

Westfolders are an elite swordsmen unit, almost identical in stats to Anórien Soldiers, which can be used to replace Peasants in the mid-late game if Rohan is focusing on infantry rather than cavalry. **Forth Eorlingas** and **Shield Wall Formation** compliment each other very well in the middle of combat as Westfolders gain additional damage and armour whilst the movement speed afforded by **Forth Eorlingas** negates some of the speed reduction caused by the **Shield Wall Formation**. Erkenbrand is required for their recruitment, but he can also provide Westfolders an additional armour buff with his **Marshall of the West-mark** leadership, making him very useful for their support.

**Anne Nicole Walker** (born June 7, 1968) is an American politician and lawyer who served as the U.S. Senator from the Southwest from 2018 to 2019 and as the 40th Governor of California from 2013 to 2018. A Democrat, Walker was a candidate for president in the 2020 presidential election.

Walker is the daughter of Ben Walker, who served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2005.
Mike Hodges

**Michael Jay Hodges** (April 17, 1968 – July 20, 2013) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 46th President of the United States from 2012 to 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Hodges served as the 48th Vice President of the United States from 2008 to 2012 and as the 19th Chief Justice of the United States from 2004 to 2008 before serving as a governor and senator from Colorado.

Mere months after leaving office and retiring from politics, Hodges died of a heart attack at age 45.
Sentinels of Cerin Amroth

* Portrait
* Default
* Upgraded
* Shield Wall

"After the fall of the Dark Tower and the passing of Sauron the Shadow was lifted from the hearts of all who opposed him, but fear and despair fell upon his servants and allies. Three times Lórien had been assailed from Dol Guldur, but besides the valour of the elven people of that land, the power that dwelt there was too great for any to overcome, unless Sauron had come there himself."
—Appendix B, The Return of the King

These warriors were tasked with safeguarding the revered hill of Amroth, once the home of Amroth Amdirion, the last King of Lórien. During the War of the Ring, they assisted the other Galadhrim in the defense of their home.

The Sentinels of Cerin Amroth are a mid game pike unit for Lothlórien, acting as a stronger infantry to replace the Lórien Wardens.

## Abilities

**Spear Wall Formation (W)** - The units form a spear wall. Units lose 40% speed, gain resistance to knockback, decelerates crush, and gain +33% armour.

## Upgrades

**Elven Armour (T)** - When equipped, significantly reduces the amount of damage taken. Research upgrade at Golden Wood Storehouse to enable this equipment. Cost: 300

**Tempered Blades (C)** - When equipped, increases damage dealt by melee weapons. Research upgrade at Golden Wood Storehouse to enable this upgrade. Cost: 300

**Banners of the Golden Wood (V)** - When equipped, increases this battalion to level 2. Research upgrade at Golden Wood Storehouse to enable this equipment. Cost: 100

## Strategy

The Sentinels of Cerin Amroth can be used in the mid game to strengthen your front lines. They are tanker than the Lórien Wardens although they are fewer in number and are slower. The Sentinels are especially effective against cavalry like all pikemen, which can be further enhanced by **Shield Wall** **Formation**. This can improve their defensive skills heavily at the expense of speed, making it easier for the enemy to maneuver around them. However, a solid front line defence of Sentinels combined with Lothlórien's powerful archers can be a devastating combo.
United States Senate

The **United States Senate** is the upper house of the United States Congress, the House of Representatives being the lower house. Together they compose the national legislature of the United States.

The composition of the Senate is established by Article One of the United States Constitution. The Senate is composed of senators who represent districts that are composed of one or multiple states.

As the upper chamber of Congress, the Senate has several powers of advice and consent which are unique to it. These include the approval of treaties, and the confirmation of Cabinet secretaries, Supreme Court justices, federal judges, flag officers, regulatory officials, ambassadors, other federal executive officials and other federal uniformed officers. In addition to these, in cases wherein no candidate receives a majority of electors for vice president, the duty falls to the Senate to elect one of the top two recipients of electors for that office. Furthermore, the Senate has the responsibility of conducting the trials of those impeached by the House.

The Senate is widely considered both a more deliberative and more prestigious body than the House of Representatives due to its longer terms, smaller size, and statewide constituencies, which historically led to a more collegial and less partisan atmosphere. The presiding officer of the Senate is the vice president of the United States, who is president of the Senate. In the vice president's absence, the president pro tempore, who is customarily the senior member of the party holding a majority of seats, presides over the Senate. In the early 20th century, the practice of majority and minority parties electing their floor leaders began, although they are not constitutional officers.

In 1991, Walker ran for Mayor of San Francisco on a progressive platform. He won the election by over thirty thousand votes and was sworn in on January 8, 1992.

Walker announced that, despite a 63% approval rating, he would not run for re-election in 1995. He served as mayor for only four years, focusing on cleaning up the city, getting the homeless off of the streets, and fixing the city's roads.

Walker was elected as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee in 1995. During his tenure as chairman, he focused on recruitment to the party and achieving a majority in both houses of Congress. Walker also worked hard to ensure that a Democrat would be succeeding Bill Clinton in 2001.

Sentinels of Woody End

* Portrait
* In Game

"Be of good hope! Sleep now! In the morning we shall have gone; but we will send our messages through the lands. The Wandering Companies shall know of your journey, and those that have power for good shall be on the watch. I name you Elf-friend; and may the stars shine upon the end of your road! Seldom have we had such delight in strangers, and it is fair to hear words of the Ancient Speech from the lips of other wanderers in the world."
—Gildor Inglorion

Woody End was a wooded area to the east of the Shire. The region was sparsely populated by the Hobbits of the Shire, though there were other villages nearby, including Woodhall. However, this lower population made the region favoured by the Elves who would travel through the region during journeys between Rivendell and the Grey Havens. It was here that Frodo, Sam and Pippin met Gildor and his company on their way to Rivendell, and it was here that Frodo and Sam met the Ringbearers on their journey to the Havens.

The Sentinels of Woody End are the Auxiliary Camp unit for the Free Peoples in Lindon maps.

## Abilities and Formations

**Elven Stores** - Friendly units and heroes nearby the Sentinels of Woody End are passively healed. Passive ability.

**Level 3: Song to Elbereth (R)** - Nearby friendly units become immune to fear and terror for 20 seconds. Left click to activate.

## Upgrades

**Banners of the Noldorin (V)** - When equipped, increases this battalion to level 2. Can only be equipped at level 1. Cost: 100

## Strategy

The Sentinels of Woody End are a swordsman unit that can be recruited by the Free Peoples in Lindon maps. While they have an average health level, their additional armour gives them an additional level of survivability. However, their main strength is not their combat potential but their supportive potential. **Elven Stores** is a strong ability that can passively improve the survivability of nearby units, while also replenishing them out of combat, allowing them to be ready for battle even faster. Keeping the Sentinels alive for longer rewards the player though allowing access to **Song to Elbereth**. This ability grants nearby units immunity to fear and terror, making the Sentinels very useful against factions that may have access to such effects, such as Gondor with Boromir's Horn or Mordor with the Nazgûl.

Sindar Nobles

* Portrait
* In Game
* Upgraded
* Line Formation

"Then dismay fell on the Goblins and they fled in all directions. But weariness left their enemies with the coming of new hope, and they pursued them closely, and prevented most of them from escaping where they could. They drove many of them into the Running River, and such as fled south or west they hunted into the marshes about the Forest River; and there the greater part of the last fugitives perished, while those that came hardly to the Wood-elves' realm were there slain, or drawn in to die in the trackless dark of Mirkwood."
—The Hobbit, The Return Journey

In war, the Sindar nobility of Eryn Galen serve as an elite company of mounted warriors, charging into battle besides their Elvenking. The Nobles of the Woodland Realm carried themselves with dignity and grace even in combat to such a degree, that to some they were considered pompous and arrogant. Regardless, Faenrochyn, or Radiant-riders, were among the chiefest in the Elvenking's army in terms of military proficiency.

Faenrochyn are the elite cavalry unit of the Woodland Realm, they can be recruited from a level 3 Royal Barracks.

## Abilities and Formations

**Line Formation (W)** - Faenrochyn gain +15% speed and damage but lose -15% armour. Left click to toggle formation.

**Level 2: Righteous Indignation (R)** - Nearby enemy units are terrified and Faenrochyn temporarily gain -33% crush deceleration. Left click to activate.

## Upgrades

**Sindar Shields (T)** - when equipped, reduces the amount of pike and archer damage taken by +25%. Cost: 250

**Silvan Steel (C)** - when equipped, increases the damage done by melee weapons. Research upgrade at Thranduil's Treasury to enable this equipment. Cost: 300

**Banner Carrier (V)** - when equipped, increases this battalion to level 2. Research upgrade at Thranduil's Treasury to enable this equipment. Cost: 100

## Strategy

Faenrochyn are comparable to Knights of Amroth Amdírion in stats: they are expensive yet incredibly powerful elite cavalry which are the bane of any infantry not protected by pikemen. They are fast moving and highly durable; their speed and damage can be increased using **Line Formation**, although this comes at the cost of armour and so players should be cautious not to use it when charging into an army filled with pikemen as they are much more likely to sustain heavy losses. Unlike other Silvan and Greenwood units, Faenrochyn cannot be upgraded with Sindarin Armour by Thranduil, they can instead be upgraded with Sindar Shields at anytime rather than being dependent on Love and Silver and Jewels. This upgrade makes Faenrochyn even more resistant to archer and pikemen so that they can charge through enemy lines with reduced risk of being killed by enemy pikemen. **Righteous Indignation** is a devastating ability that sends the enemy ranks into disarray if they lack terror resistance, the Faenrochyn can then chase and ride down vulnerable hordes as they flee; this is especially effective when riding alongside a mounted Thranduil, who provides a passive armour buff to all friendly units.
Mike Gravel

**Maurice Robert "Mike" Gravel** (born May 13, 1938) is an American politician who served as the 48th President of the United States from 2014 to 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, Gravel previously served as the U.S. Senator from the South from 2009 to 2013 before his brief service as the 50th Vice President of the United States from 2013 to 2014.

The Justice was awarded the Medal of Freedom from President Jeb Hernandez (R) in 2020, for his hard work, loyalty, and success in ACS. It is no doubt that Justice Bush has had his fair share of controversy and hate from many people within the Simulation, but that has seemed to cool down over the past year, since he is a self proclaimed "Changed Man". Bush is a member of Wine, the Establishment of acs, as well as Izzy's Pineapple, Redneck Rodeo, and the Beer Cooler. Bush was also the Vice Chairman of the Republican Party from 2015-2017, and the Senate Minority Whip and Senate Minority Leader both in 2019, then Senate Majority Leader in 2020, leading up to his confirmation for Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

Article II of the Constitution establishes the executive branch of the federal government. It vests the executive power of the United States in the president. The power includes the execution and enforcement of federal law, alongside the responsibility of appointing federal executive, diplomatic, regulatory and judicial officers, and concluding treaties with foreign powers with the advice and consent of the Senate. The president is further empowered to grant federal pardons and reprieves, and to convene and adjourn either or both houses of Congress under extraordinary circumstances. The president directs the foreign and domestic policies of the United States, and takes an active role in promoting his policy priorities to members of Congress. In addition, as part of the system of checks and balances, Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto federal legislation. The power of the presidency has grown substantially since its formation, as has the power of the federal government as a whole.

Through the Electoral College, registered voters indirectly elect the president and vice president to a four-year term. This is the only federal election in the United States which is not decided by popular vote. Three ACS vice presidents became president by virtue of a president's intra-term death or resignation.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 sets three qualifications for holding the presidency: natural-born U.S. citizenship; at least thirty-five years of age; and residency in the United States for at least fourteen years. The Twenty-second Amendment states that no person who has been elected to two presidential terms may be elected to a third. Ben Walker was the first ACS president but is listed as the 43rd president due to the time at which his presidency started in relation to reality. Since the start of ACS, seven individuals have served as president, three of whom were vice presidents who ascended to the presidency upon the resignation of the president.

The 50th and current president is Isabella Marto, who assumed office on February 25, 2018.
Vice President of the United States

The **Vice President of the United States** is the second-highest officer in the executive branch of the U.S. federal government, after the president of the United States, and ranks first in the presidential line of succession. The vice president is also an officer in the legislative branch, as president of the Senate. In this capacity, the vice president is empowered to preside over Senate deliberations, but may not vote except to cast a tie-breaking vote. The vice president also presides over joint sessions of Congress.

The vice president is indirectly elected together with the president to a four-year term of office by the people of the United States through the Electoral College. Section 2 of the Twenty-fifth Amendment, ratified in 1967, created a mechanism for intra-term vice presidential succession, establishing that vice presidential vacancies will be filled by the president and confirmed by both houses of Congress. Prior to 1967, in the event a vice president succeeded to the presidency, died, or resigned from office, the vice presidency remained vacant until the next presidential and vice presidential terms began.

The vice president is also a statutory member of the National Security Council, and the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution. The Office of the Vice President assists and organizes the vice president's official functions. The role of the vice presidency has changed dramatically since the office was created during the 1787 constitutional Convention. Especially over the past 100 years, the vice presidency has evolved into a position of domestic and foreign policy political power, and is now widely seen as an integral part of a president's administration.

As the vice president's role within the executive branch has expanded, his role within the legislative branch has contracted; for example, he presides over the Senate only infrequently.

The Constitution does not expressly assign the vice presidency to any one branch, causing a dispute among scholars about which branch of government the office belongs to: 1) the executive branch; 2) the legislative branch; 3) both; or 4) neither. The modern view of the vice president as an officer of the executive branch (isolated almost totally from the legislative branch) is due in large part to the assignment of executive authority to the vice president by either the president or Congress.

Since the beginning of ACS, three vice presidents have ascended to the presidency upon the resignation of the president; however, no vice president has ever been elected president. Five people have also been nominated to serve as vice president, as per the Twenty-fifth Amendment; of those five people, only four have been confirmed and sworn in as vice president.

The 53rd and current vice president is Jeb Hernandez, who assumed office on March 1, 2018.
Shipwright

"Above all arts they nourished shipbuilding and sea-craft, and they became mariners whose like shall never be again since the world was diminished; and voyaging upon the wide seas was the chief feat and adventure of their hardy men in the gallant days of their youth."
—Akallabêth, The Silmarillion

During the Third Age, naval warfare was common in the south. Here, the forces of Gondor were often at war with Harad and Umbar. Elsewhere, the Havens at Mithlond were full of elven ships ready take the elves across the Sea, and the Men of Dale had their own boats across the lakes and rivers in Wilderland.

The Shipwright is a capturable building. These can provide naval units to allow movement across water and allow for naval combat.

## Strategy

The Shipwrights are the source of naval units on the battlefield. While these units are difficult to use due to their low armour, they can be used in certain situations. For example, transport ships can be used to allow for surprise strikes at enemies from unexpected locations and can also be used to assist in earning additional resources. The Warships/Black Ships can be used to defend these transport ships from enemy forces, with the Storm Ships and Doom Ships being able to deal high damage at once. In general, the ships of the Free Peoples are more focused on lasting longer on the battlefield, while the ships of the Forces of Darkness can deal higher damage.
2000 United States presidential election

The **2000 United States presidential election** was the 54th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 7, 2000. Democratic nominee Ben Walker, the former Mayor of San Francisco, defeated Republican nominee Felix Quintos, the Governor of Ohio. It is, to date, one of the most lopsided presidential elections in American history, with Walker winning 479 out of 538 electoral votes.
Republican Party

Emblem of the GOP.

### Ideology

Conservatism, Libertarianism, Right-WIng Populism, Centrism, Neoconservatism, Paleoconservatism

### Status

Active, one of the two ruling political parties

## Foothold in Government

### Other Positions

Presidency, Vice Presidency

The Republican Party (GOP) is one of the main political parties of the United States of America. Unlike it's political counterpart and rival, the Democratic Party, the Republican Party represents the more right-wing side to American politics, with many of it's members identifying as Conservative, Paleoconservative, Neoconservative, and even right-wing populism. However, it also holds more center-based factions such as libertarians and centrists. The GOP currently holds 5 Senators, 2 Representatives, ? Governors, and the Presidency.

The GOP is chaired by Alexis Larry-Abbott. Their Vice Chair is George Patton and their Secretary is Roscoe Lee. The board includes Richard MacArthur, Jimmy Shaper, Jeb Hernandez, Rodney Fulton-Smith, and Ty Brown.

While the GOP has lagged behind the Democratic Party in the past, with only one Republican-elected president since 2004, it has been able to catch up with it's majority in the Senate and with the new president, Jeb Hernandez affiliating with the GOP. With these new victories, it seems likely that the GOP has gotten back on it's feet. Or have they?

Upon leaving the office of the Vice Presidency, Young returned to private life but returned to public office after he was nominated by President Isabella Marto to be Secretary of Veterans Affairs. In 2020, he decided to return to electoral politics and announced his intention to run for the House seat he had held for nearly six years.
Democratic Party

Emblem of the Democratic Party

The Democratic Party is one of the main political parties of the United States of America. Unlike it's political counterpart and rival, the Republican Party, the Democratic Party represents the more Left-wing side to American politics, with many of it's members identifying with Liberalism Progressivism, Democratic Socialism, and even Left-wing populism. However, it also holds more center-based factions such as libertarians and centrists. The Democratic Party currently has 1 Senator, ? Representatives, and ? Governors.

The Democratic Party has historically, ever since 2000 held a large edge over the Republican Party, having held most of the 21st century's presidencies and having held a majority in both chambers of congress. However, with the GOP gaining a super-majority within the senate, and with the new president Jeb Hernandez affiliating with the GOP, it appears that the party has experienced a few recent setbacks. Will they retake their advantage? Only time will tell...
