Having played both of them, I can positively state that you have your work
cut out for you.

Rhudaur can be sort of interesting though - at least in the early game
when all those non-neutral people up in the area (Witch-King, Noldo Elves,
Dwarves and Artheedain) are being reasonably nice to you...you'll have to
be VERY heavy on off-the-board diplomacy if you want to survive.

The Woodmen can be fun IF you have competent people playing either the
Dwarves  or Sinda Elves (or even better, both) but this is a position that
needs to be part of a good team to get anywhere.
