Battle To Umbar
1660 Third.Age, after the Battle For Osgiliath...
The Gondorians won a decisive battle in Osgiliath. Their losses are huge, but the umbarean army has been chased away from Ithilien and now prepares to defend their lands against the descendant of Eldacar.
The Prince Sangahyandion achieved a great power with the storming of Harondor and is determined to defend it against the Gondorians, greedy for revenge.
King Tarondor is once again opposed to the Alliance and is resolute to put and end to the corsair raids and to the threaten of the "traitor" dinasty of Calimehtar.

This map is the third one of a trilogy based on a war is inspired by the books and letters of J.R.R. Tolkien and the website of Sampsa Rydman: Lindëfirion.
This is a fiction story from what could occur in about 1650 T.A, a fake version of the Third Corsair War (1653 - 1666 T.A). If you wanna know more about it, I invite you to visit the website Lindefirion.The gameplay of this map is based on capitals that provides soldiers as spawns and on villages that can be captured that provides ressources (gold to hire extra soldiers or wood to build new structures, siege weapons and boats).
There are 10 players in 2 teams (Gondor / "Evil") that must weaken the opponent team by storming and seizing its villages and capitals or trapping its armies. Each player owns a capital (or 2) a region (villages), an army, a fleet (not necessarily) and 4/5 heroes that can't revive.
The players are :
Gondor: King Tarondor; Ithilien; Lebennin; Belfalas; Anórien.Evil : Umbar; Khand; Harondor; Pellardur (Umbar#2); Mordor.
If you love controlling big and varied armies (easily with all the commands I made), with heroes (with custom skills) that support it, you really should try this map 
. This is more a strategical game than a "hero game"! There is a tutorial ingame if you wanna know more about the gameplay (a long one). You can also learn more about the story, the commands, the sounds (etc..) in the quest.

Gold and wood/rock production
Each village has two nombers (by exemple 50 / 250) what refers to the gold and the wood it products each 3 min 20 sec. (here the village products 50 gold and 250 wood/rock).
The gold is used to hire new units with the recruiters whereas the wood/rock is used to make new structures, boats and artillery.
When a team captures a village, it becomes controlled by the player who has the smallest income.
When a team seizes a capital (like Pelargir or Umbar), it becomes controlled by the player who has the highest nomber of units in the town. This one will be able to hire the region units but wont get a better income or a good citadel.
Each 3 min 20 sec, the player whose kills are the lowest also earn 50 gold.
Trilogy Project
The trilogy concept is based on three map which are the 3 key moments of the war:
-Battle For Ithil : the capture of Minas Ithil by dark forces (started by Mouth-of-Sauron)
-Battle For Osgiliath : ended (version 0.6). (finished end 2008)
-Battle To Umbar : you may know it ^^. (finished end 2009)
This story is fictive but it would be great playing successively the three maps... woo ! ^^
The trilogy in numbers (the things that are the same in the maps are count once):
- 3 Maps.
- More than 350 custom units.
- More than 270 custom abilities.
- More than 1100 triggers.
- More than 160 variables.
- More than 110 custom icons.
- More than 50 custom models.
- At least 2000 hours (hard to determine) of work on 4 years.

Map Review:
+ Good feel to the map
+ Environment supports gameplay (nice job with fortresses)
+ A multitude of different heroes, troops, and abilities are available
- Fine-tuning is needed (i.e. tooltips, some environment factors)
- Alot of grammar errors (I know it can't be helped, but it's still annoying)
- Too many units to control efficiently
- Little detail in terrain outside of castles/keeps/nodes
+/- Large-scale combat (7 heroes controlled and hundreds of troops)
+/- Somewhat slow moving strategy-based gameplay

Thanks a lot for very quick feedback and help! This website owns
. I started the map (first battle for Osgiliath) 4 years ago and I sucked in eng ... I still needa purge all these errors.
There are environment factors !! At night "nightly creatures" (orcs, trolls...) move faster, in cave nomal units move slower, sandstorms/eclipses/rains/... can occur, ...
For this, i assure you that if you play 5v5 and if you use the commands, it's really easy to control troops. The drawback is that you must know these commands...
I avoided putting too many doodads as it would be laggy; but you are right it would be prettier.
You are right

In fact I ended it at christmas. I just forgot putting it on that webside
The reasons why I didn't put any obvious "indicator light" (like runes) are simple : I wanted to make it as real as possible and also because there 2 other indicators : the kind of "crypts" at each entrance + a map ping when you walk near an entrance. + : it s also "hidden" entrance in reality; orcs don't want to show their caves
