[Garodar]

[RandomPogi]

Interesting Project!

If you need help with english translations, I'll be glad to help!

Also, I'd suggest using custom font, and better unit names. Like Elven Swordsman, or Uruk-Hai Berserker, etc...

You could also make use of this:

[Aldeia]

Update[4]

Update[4]

Added new Events to the map ( so called invaders )
the main idea of that events is to diversify a little the map, just imagine u play vs other guy, and u are getting destroyed by him , and suddenly a horde of spiders or an army of Templars is atacking his base or his army and so on, and thats not all if you manage to kill the leader of the invaders (Templars,Spider,Vikings and so on) you will be awarded with unique items for your hero, item will be droped according to enemy type of leader that u killed.

Invaders army screens

 

[RandomPogi]

I'll do so then! Just message me if you need any help. ^_^

About the invaders, I think it's a unique idea! But try limiting it to neutral entities in the lore. Like maybe wandering Mountain Trolls in the night, or wraiths.

Hey! Looks like a good map so far! Heres a suggestion use the hotkeys QWER wherever possible. The UI grid is perfect for this as it is 4 wide and 3 tall.

Top Row:
Q,W,E,R
Second Row:
A,S,D,F
Third Row:
Z,X,C,V

I use this in my map and it makes everything very easy, no random letter that dont make sense.

BTW where did you get that cavetroll model? I really would like to download it!

There is little information about Haradrims, but i still need to add some heroes to this race, so i decided to add the Dastan - (Prince of Persia) from Game : Prince of Persia Sands of Time, i think he fits perfect here.

 

[Leo Akastenix]

Prince of Persia should be replaced by like a Hadarim Vanguard or something like that.

well depends im not replacing units or something else, but still races like umbars and haradrims are less shown in movie or book, and no one know any characters from that races.

Call him HERUMOR at list, look at google if its ok for you.
