While I agree on the first, I fundamentally disagree on the second. Gothmog may not have been the major leader on Pealenor Fields, but he was the field commander for the troops- he divised and lead the Siege of Minas Tirith, the most protected city of Gondor, and he nearly brought it down. The Witch-King was more of a third-party loose cannon, not giving orders and striking randomly at strategic locations and hunting for Gandalf. The only reason Gothmog's leadership lost the day was the unpredicted (and based on the Eye's plot, unforseeable) arrival of the Rohan calvalry, which still suffered heavy losses. Gothmog's leadership can only really be equalled by The Vangaurd, from the Darkspawn Chronicles DLC. The Hurlock Emissary is neither a leader at all nor a character. Emissaries are shock troops, they don't command. /nerd
