	'''Site control''' is a formal game term. Some [[Shadow Alignment\|Shadow]] cards can "take control of a site," thematically representing the enemies of Middle-Earth occupying or overrunning that location. This isn't permanent, because cards can later '''liberate''' that site. When you control a site, take the lowest-[[Site Number\|numbered]] uncontrolled [[site]] in the site path and put it in your [[support area]]. If your opponent liberates a site, you take the highest-numbered site you control (if any) and put it back on the site path where it was before. Sites can only be controlled once both players' [[Fellowship]] has passed them by, and each site can only be controlled by one player at a time. (Any effect that would control a site when there is no legal site to control is wasted.) Controlling a site doesn't give any inherent benefits, but many Shadow cards want to [[spot]] controlled sites, or [[stack]] other cards on them for benefits.

			'''Site control''' is a formal game term referring to a mechanic introduced in [[The Two Towers]], which represents the forces of evil slowly conquering the lands of Middle-earth. Some [[Shadow Alignment\|Shadow]] cards can "take control of a site," thematically representing the enemies of Middle-Earth occupying or overrunning that location. This isn't permanent, because cards can later '''liberate''' that site.

			When you control a site, take the lowest-[[Site Number\|numbered]] uncontrolled [[site]] in the site path and put it in your [[support area]]. If your opponent liberates a site, you take the highest-numbered site you control (if any) and put it back on the site path where it was before. Sites can only be controlled once both players' [[Fellowship]] has passed them by, and each site can only be controlled by one player at a time. (Any effect that would control a site when there is no legal site to control is wasted.) Controlling a site doesn't give any inherent benefits, but many Shadow cards want to [[spot]] controlled sites, or [[stack]] other cards on them for benefits.

	This mechanic was introduced in [[The Two Towers]], and appears in almost all later sets. Most Shadow [[culture]]s have at least some site control cards, including {{C\|Isengard}}, {{C\|Dunland}}, {{C\|Sauron}} (the [[besieger]] subculture focuses on this), {{C\|Men}}, and {{C\|Uruk-hai}}. The {{C\|Raider}} culture has a few cards that deal with site control, but these are few and far between and only one, {{Card\|Southron Archer}}, is of any real worth.
