If that's a melee then I'm a coder.

 

[Theoden of KoMe]

Well it ain't melee but its a good sp game as i can see.The white council vs Sauron at the ruins of Dul Guldur (yes mate its Dul Guldur not Dol , Dol Amroth-Dul Guldur , i always mixed these up but i see it clear now )

I will dl and test

You should work on the description
add a features list,credits,screenshots etc
some different colors and sizes will be nice too

[Hardtime]

actually it is Dol Guldur

Isnt that what he just said? I think you misinterpreted the meaning of his comment.
--------------------------------

Since I was a HUGE fan of the movies and the books, I might just try this one out soon. Gonna test it out. Is this melee or what? Theres a goldmind there so it probable is?

Necromancer's facing random degrees, lol.

Anyway, the map was somewhat interesting... but it was too short to be enjoyable. The map comes off as a interactive cinematic. Spoilers:

Near the ending, where it states "You are not alone!" or something along those lines come up, the defeat menu comes up before it's finished.

I don't recall exactly, but I think that the dialogue matched original enough that it made sense.

Also, it's fairly simple to take out the unnecessary (and unprofessional looking) starting point. Simply go to to triggers and find initialization. You can do the rest from there.

You might also want to use some more fitting models: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models.php?search=shadow&r=20&d=list

The terrain was fine. It could have definitely used better tile usage on the outer sides and borders. Some areas looked traverse-able due to unconnected cliffs or small doodads blocking pathways, but weren't traverse-able.

Overall, I'd rate the map 2/5 and set it to await update. There simply isn't enough content and the content there is is lacking. Good luck, read some tutorials, and or ask around!

I tested the map, as much as I am a huge Tolkien fan for beastiary and folklore literature, I have to say this map is lacking a lot of it, especially the gameplay.

I don't understand the very main quest that is going on, I end up moving on those floating texts stating that I should go inside and destroy a specific cage, however that cage is invulnerable, how on middle-earth am I going to start the quest with that?

So I end up killing a huge orc base that is based on the AI of warcraft which is very unorthodox for them having in the game, nothing happened and a huge bunch of orc grunts and raiders started attacking me.

So I found a few cages to destroy and then I found Thrain, and then this whole cinematic of nothingness came into be which took the whole game play in, the cinematic is horrible. Most of the characters are missing, the camera view is pointing on bad ends, and the dialogue is just not fitting for the LOTR world.

I don't think this is much of an approval right now, pointing on how the game is meant for something that I couldn't understand, and most of the resources stored on the map is having dire difficulties, for now this should be a good sample for your practice in map making.

I could agree with all of this except about the dialogues! They were taken exactly from the movie. I'll try to improve the map. And I'm only a beginner in map making and if someone can make this map better and improve heavily then be my guest!
