Wait--goblins? A faction? The "goblins" of Middle-Earth are just what Tolkien called his orcs before he decided to call them orcs!

That sounds like the Susan unit. It can see you on any forum and pop up and surround you with smilies before you know what hit you.

Game is based on the movies, not the book AFAIK. Obviously that makes the new armies even more out of context since they where not visualised in the movies at all. I can't remember if there was some "Goblin reference" in the movie though...

They use the book licence, i'm pretty sure. It's just that the common RTS idiot has only seen the movies so they use a majority of crap from them and nothing in the games makes sense.

EA has the movie license. Another company, Vivendi Universal I think. has the book license and they released some games with it. There's a platformer based on the Hobbit, a warcraft knockoff, and some action-adventure junk.
