In addition to completely replacing the site path once again, the third base set added the new mechanics of threats (tokens that had to be assigned as wounds when a companion or ally was killed) and initiative, which either Free Peoples or Shadow player had based on the number of cards in their hands. This set contained no cards of Dunland, Isengard and Moria cultures, but added Minas Morgul orcs to the previously Nazgûl-only Ringwraith culture.
