Lords of Middle Earth
By GolluM[KoMe]
Your realms suffered from the wars opposing Harondor, Gondor and Umbar; but this time of conflict is about to end with the fall of Harondor.
A new age is about to begin! ; Liege Man, Gallant, Doughty, Tyrant, Bandit, Trader, Young, Old or whatever you are, you are the Lords of Middle Earth !
You will have to thrive, find new allies and protect your lands in these new but uncertain times. New conflicts will rise, kingdoms will fall, corruption will grow, Lords will die...

Kind of Map : Anno-like (Rpg/Builder/Diplomacy)
Number of Players : 1-8
Concept's key words : Start from scratch, do whatever you want, make your region prosperous, sell your goods, make alliances, declare war, dominate colonies.
Victory : Defeat all other players (with your possible ally) / destroy all the Factions or reach the victory conditions set by the host.
Players : Gondor, Khand, Umbar, Harondor and 8 players.
Unprotected Version now available!
You can now download the unprotected 2.3 on this website : http://warlotr.free.fr/.
You should read these information if you really want to improve/change the map!

Needed stuff to work on LoME:
-Time free xD
-Rather good level with the World Editor
-You absolutly need to know the map rather well!
-A trading system with your ally player, like in Age of Mythology (or Age of Empire) : a trading unit is sent to your ally and it comes back with gold. The more your ally is far, the more you get, exponentially, which might encourage alliances with a far village. It would be automatical, with a boat (which would be easier to be made and more realistic). Theses boats could be attacked and you could not make more than X of 'em. There could be upgrades in the Shipyard to increase the speed and the limit...
-A better terrain
-Mercenaries to buy
-More slaves to buy
-New units for the Inns: saboteurs; invisible Hobbit Spies (which could be made everytime, but with a limit)
-New victory conditions: instead of having to destroy everything to win, the host could set victory conditions.
He would first choose a stuff (like Money in Stock; Bread in Stock; Number of Kills; Number of Colonies.....) and then an integer to reach between 5, according to the stuff chosen before (like for Money in Stock: 15 000; 20 000; 30 000; 50 000; 75 000).
Once done, he could choose an other condition etc etc...
This would be rather long to make, but not that hard, and would be SOOOO great ! With that, the whole gameplay would be redifined and you could not to make any soldier and only focus on your development
.These conditions would then be written in the quest!
-Find a better way to make the unit entrance/leaving in and out of your town.
You could first also make a command like Type "-L" (for Leave) and the units you are curently selecting leave the place properly, like a Packsaddle horse leaving.
-A building that produces Items with :
Common Items (like Iron Sword)
Items according to the current warfare (like Armor of Gondor etc...) PS: Be careful with the warfare change with Elves/Orcs
Powerful Items very expensive, according to the Heroes you have, that cannot be broken, and that can be done only once (like 'Vilya' (the elven ring of Air, if you have Elrond, who actually owns this ring). These items would only be available when the hero reaches level X or after Y minutes...
-Archer tower uprgradable in Elite Archer Tower (in which you can place your Elite archers, with their abilities ....)
-According to the town you chose, in the Library, you can research something which makes you able to use a special ability (in the Library).
This ability would of that kind: Increases the Trade Rate (the price) for a specific good (that you choose in a Dialog Box); Decreases one; Create a little inflation in a specific place (Gondor, Khand or Umbar); Create Revolts which create an attack in a random town..........................
-Events which would occure each X sec. The could be negative, like the collapse of the price of a type of goods in a region, orc raids, bad weather which makes people leave a region, earthquakes, fires.....; positive: inflation, a baby boom .......; But also both: like a famine which would increases the price of Grain, Bread and Sheeps but stop the population growth (or even make it negative)..... You can find a lot of ideas with this
-The diplomatic system has to be rethought!
By example If a player which owns a town (like Amon Eithel) Which originally belongs to a Computer (Red here) breaks an ally treaty with this player (still Red xD), the Computer would declare war to the player to get the town back in its influence
.A lot can be done !
-Add all towns a Faction captures to be bought by its allies.
-Updates according of the chosen town at the beggining.
-Multiboard :
Create 12 icons : 1 red, 1 blue, 1teal, .... 1 brown
Add 2 columns :
-Ally player, in which there is the color of the ally
-Ally faction
YES !! Except removing the the credits of those who made custom stuff
You can mail me at [email protected] or contact me here on the Hive
If you want any kind of stuff like the original minimap preview without my name etc etc... I'll send it to you! I really want this project to be continued!

Beggining
Each player begins by picking a hero and a location on the map : your village. The rune in front of the hero indicates if it is a strength hero (red), intelligence (purple) or agility hero (teal). You will have to upgrade your town and make it thrive while you must defend it. Your townhall can reach 4 levels. Each new researched level unlock new abilities/buildings/... (like in wc3).
Growth
To grow your village, you first have to produce raw materials (like grain/wood/grape...) that you will sell in the three big trade places : Pelargir in Gondor, the Havens of Umbar in Umbar and Amrûn in Khand. You can also buy these goods at these places.
Income/Population
The second important stuff to thrive is growing your population. Each potential new citizen needs an accomodation (houses) and a job (posts) (you can check in the multiboard if you need to make new houses or if there is a lack of job. Then, each inhabitant will pay taxes (each 3min) according to their wealth (2 gold $; 6 gold $$; ;12 gold $$$). If your are not allied with a faction you will pay to the nearest one a tribute of 25% of this income.
Ways
When you reach level 2, you must choose between 3 ways :
-Mayor : you will be more focused on development, taxes and selling.
-General : you will be more focused on troop production and elite units.
-Outlaw : you will be at war against all the faction and you'll be more focused on raids and piracy.
Warfare/Weapons
If you choose Mayor or General you must choose between 3 kind of warfare (gondorian, umbarean or khandish). It ONLY determines the kind of soldiers/towers/boats you will be able to make. (yes you can make Mûmakil in deep Gondor
.To be made, each soldier needs a weapon (that is an item). To be used, a weapon must be put in a war building's inventory and will be added to a virtual stock. The knights and the packsaddle horses also need a horse in stock.
Alliance with a Player
To use diplomacy, you must click on 'Diplomatic Action' in your main building.
Since level 2 you can :
Become allied with an other Player if he is at least level 2 too. You can only ally 1 Player. You can unally a player each time you want.
Declare war on a Player if he's also at least level 2. You can propose peace to a player any time you want.
Since level 3 you can :
Become allied with 1 Faction. You and your ally player will be allied to the same Faction. You can unally a faction anytime you want but if you own one of the town that originally belonged to this faction (which usually happens), the faction will then declare war on you.
Since level 4 you can :
Declare war on a faction which will send you some troops each X seconds. Thanks to this war, you can capture new towns by force (having more inhabitants and more raw materials)!
What will the factions do during the game?
At the beginning, Umbar and Gondor invade Harondor and after a cold war, they will enter at war and will begin attack the opponent towns (progressively thanks to the already taken places).
If you enter at war against a faction, it will attack you at your "village" and also in the towns you took from it or the towns it would like to capture.
Each town is also protected by a few guards. Before taking a new one, make sure you will be able to keep it!
Where sell your goods?
Each faction capital (Pelargir, Amrûn and Heaven of Umbar) have 2 selling places. Just drop your resources or send your animals to sell them. When animals/packsaddle horse (with the activated option) leave your town, they will automatically go to the nearest place to sell (and drop goods and go back to your town if it's a packsaddle horse).
Impossible to sell goods
You cannot sell your goods to an ennmy faction or to a faction at war against one of your ally (faction or player).
By exemple if you are allied with Umbar and if Gondor is at war against it, you cannot sell your goods in Pelargir.
How much will you earn?
Each faction have a selling rate for each kind of good. The selling rates always increase (if there is not a negative event
(Max : 1.3; Min : 0.7). Each time you sell goods in a region, it will decreases the rate, but only at this place. If the rate of a good is below 1, it will increase faster.The selling rates also grow faster the more players there are.
By exemple, the Grain rate in Gondor increases by 1% each (2+(X*(0.91^number of player)) with X =18.
Some special hero skills (developement heroes)(Not already done) and som specific events (Not already done) can also influence those rates.
Raw Materials
When you choose a village (a place on the map) at the beginning, you also choose specific raw materials, according the climate, the landscape etc...
To produce a new resource, you hav to "upgrade" a circle of power and then will be created 1 item of X every Y seconds (or an animal).
Then you can upgrade this production site (each time you reach a new level) what will reduce the time to produce one good. This time can also be decreased by researching updates.
Raw materials you can produce :
-Since level 1 : Grape, Grain, Sheeps, Wood/Rock (that is directly added to your stock (100 Wood/Rock per unit).
-Since level 2 : Horses, Iron Ore.
-Since level 3 : Silk.
Raw materials produced in colonies :
When a good is produced in a colony, it's not turned into item but into a dummy transport. This transport must reach your village to be turned into item.
Workshops
They can be built since level 3 and permit to turn your raw materials into manufactured goods. The workshops need an amount of raw material for each manufactured good or will just not be created.
Manufactured Goods
-Since level 3 : Bread, Wine, Weapons, Supplies and Milk (that is a bit different).
-Since level 4 : Silk Fabric.
Houses
Three kinds of houses (that create accomodations) can be built :
-Tents : 10 accomodations for poors.($)
-Thatched Cottages : (tent upgraded) 20 accomodations for poors.($)
-Stone Houses : 10 accomodations for middle-class inhabitants.($$)
-Manors : 5 accomodations for upper-class inhabitants.($$$)
Jobs
Each time anew building is created, it increases the number of posts, according to the qualification of the employees ($, $$ or $$$) and the level of the building.
Markets
Since level2, you can make markets in which you can :
-Sell your goods (25% of the basical price) to your inhabitants.
-Turn your wood into item. (to sell it or trade it with other players)
-Turn your gold into item. (to trade it with other players)
-Train Packsaddle Horses
-Stock any kind of item (the other buildings automatically drop the items that are not linked with their workings).
Shiping Port
The shiping ports increase the food limit (only used by the soldiers).
Mason's Guild
You can reseach some technologies to improve your buildings, such as "Fortress" that greatly increases the HP, range and damages of your towncenter but also add a trebuchet on its top.

Smithy
There you can buy items according to your warfare and your heroes, who can get a very unique and powerful item.
Milk
You can upgrade "Milking" since your Sheep Pen is level 3. It allows all your Sheep Pen (at level 3 and 4) to produce Milk thanks to sheeps in its fence. Every 50+(200 - ((Number of Sheeps) x 15)) seconds will be created a Milk. Make sure the sheeps are in the fence. (min=50 sec <=> max sheeps= 14).
Warfare
When you reach level 2, you choose beetween 3 warfares that will define the soldiers you will be able to make, but also what upgrades you will be able to research in each kind of barrack:
-Gondorian Warfare : resistant units, good siege weapons, researches based on armor and HP.

How to get some?
You can get/loose renown by:
-Making specific events on your Town Square
-Sending money to Mithlond/Angmar
-Building a dark/light Statue/Academy
What is it useful for?
When you'll reach +40/-40 Renown, you'll be able to bing a delegation from Mithlond/Angmar. They will propose you a treaty in which they wil be able to settle in your village to have enclave in the South of Middle Earth in exchange of their knowledge:
If you accept, you'll have a whole new warfare (Elvish/Orcish). The barracks, stables, towers ... will be replaced by new ones and Elite barracks will be destroyed. You can instead make an Ent Stone/Troll Cage. You will also be able to choose a third hero in a list of 8, - those that have already been picked.
If you refuse, you will get the third hero liked to your town + a new unit in your Elite Barrack according to your warfare : Dome Guard (Gondorian); Consul Bodyguard (Umbarean); Suderon Chariot (Khandish).
Heroes
[COLOR=&RoyalBlue]At the beggining, you will have to choose between 3 heroes of a city. Then, when you will reach level 3, you will have to choose a second hero (one of the 2 others of the region).
When a hero dies, he will needs (50+12*level-1.25^level) seconds to be revived (at your town).
Bonuses
If your first chosen hero is more focused on developement (purple rune), you will earn 15% extra income + at the beginning you have an extra packsaddle horse.
If your hero is more focused on war (red rune), you will get free extra weapons in your virtual stock.

Each 3 min you will earn an income (which can be negative
. Each poor inhabitant($) adds +2 to the income;
Each middle-class inhabitant($$) adds +6 to the income;
Each upper-class inhabitant($$$) adds +12 to the income;
From this income is deduced a maintenance cost of your troop. (0 (level 1); 1x used food (level 2 and 3); 2x used food (level 4)).
If you are not allied with a faction, you pay 25% of this sum to the nearest one for "protection"
.Quests arrive in the big towns each x seconds. Check the Town Criers to know what quests are active. They are very useful to get xp and gold, but also items (especially at the beggining).
Before someone reaches level 3 : Pelargir, Amrun and Umbar will each generate 4/5 "easy" quests.
After someone reaches level 3 : Pelargir, Amrun and Umbar will each generate 4/5 hard quests.(The hard quests are not already made).

There are a lot of creeps on the map. Some of them can hide treasures...
You can hire mercenaries in mercenary camps (not already done).
You can buy slaves to slave merchants.
You can buy items to itinerant merchants.
Ardûmir is a place of beauty. Between desert, oasis and sea, this region offers multitude sumptuous panoramas, but also a high variety of tropical resources.
In such an arid place, you can produce Horses/Sheep, Grape and Silk. The fertile bank of the river also permit the running of palm trees.
In spite of its richness, this region is far from the high trade places in which you can at least sell your scarce goods with an expensive price.
Between mountain and sea, Endil is a remote town of Belfalas.
Its region is known for its mines that provide the foundry of the southern Gondor.
In this realm, you can produce Wheat (Grain), Sheep/Horses and Iron Ore. The nearby mountain also permit the exploitation of a Quarry to gather Rock.
With the fall of Harondor, the plunderings of Fanuilond have stopped and the region can be exploited again. Nevertheless, if a new war is triggered, this wealthy realm will plundered again; without counting on the frequent bandit raids.
Thanks to the heavy rain brought by the wind of the South, this land is maybe the most fertile of Southern Gondor which permit to cultivate varied plantations.
In this realm, you can produce Wheat ([COLOR=darkred"]Grain[/COLOR]), Grape and Sheep/Horses.The nearby forest also permit to provide the town in wood.
Next to the prosperous Pelargir, Hyarpendë is a village of Ithilien which suffers from the war against Harondor.
Nevertheless, the vicinity with both the river Poros and The Anduin, this city can thrive.
In this realm, you can produce Wheat (Grain), and 2 Sheeps/Horses. The nearby forest also permit to provide the town in wood.
Right in the middle of a desert, between mountain and sea, Isigir is in a very harsh place.
But the factors that permited the settlement of this region is a little oasis, its mountain that can be exploited, as well as its position, close to Umbar and on the trade route from Caldûr and Erädas.
In such an arid place, you can produce Grape, Silk and Iron Ore. The nearby mountain also permit the exploitation of a Quarry to gather Rock.
During the prosperous reign of Sanghayandion in Harondor, Methir was unfortunetly a place battle, which Gondorians used to assail by boat.
Nevertheless, with the fall of Harondor, this realm can thrive again, but it will have to find new allies with the arrival of the Gondorians that can claim this land.
In this realm, you can produce Wheat (Grain), and 2 Sheep/Horses. The nearby forest also permit to provide the town in wood.
Between the Ephel Dúath and the river of Harnen, [COLOR=Orange&]Oud Ilaz is a continental place.[/COLOR]
Its region is known for its horses and its wines but also for its mining exploitations.
In this realm, you can produce Grape, Sheep/Horses and Iron Ore. The nearby mountain also permit the exploitation of a Quarry to gather Rock.
After Gobel Ancalimon, Ramlond is the second town of Harnen.
Its region is known for its great plains where breeding is exelent. Its position near the capital of Harondor would have been a great advantage; unfortunately this kingdom is in decline and at war against Umbar and Gondor.

Before 1650 T.A (Third.Age) -The influence of Gondor decreases in the South, while the one of Umbar is growing. The ambitious prince Sangahyandion, son of the current concil of Umbar, takes the head of a powerful army and in only 1 year, conquer all Harondor which he makes his realm.
~1650 T.A -The talented and fiery strategist was taken by his run-up and invades Ithilien. During the Battle for Ithil, he seizes Minas Ithil. He also plunders Pelargir but doesn't manage to control the city.
~1653 -In spite of its successes, the armies of Sangahyandion are manhandled in Ithilien because of guerillas. So he decides to continue his plan as fast as possible and begins the siege of the capital of Gondor : Osgiliath; but the armies of Gondor are now organized and repel his attack during the bloody Battle For Osgiliath. After this failure, the prince is chased away from Ithilien and Pelargir began its recovery.
~1660 -After a time of raid and guerillas, the Gondorians launch a counter offensive against Harondor and Umbar. During the Battle to Umbar, the King Tarondor manages to force Umbar to stop its support to Harondor by making a daring blockade of the Heaven and after a few naval victories.
~1664 -The Harondor begins to decline and Prince Sangahyandion takes refuge in Ramlond, leaving his realm to the assaults of Gondor; but Umbar also wants a slice of the cake and send armies to at least conquer the southern Harondor (Harnen). This period is a time of opportunity for all ambitious Lord.
In the scenario Lords of Middle Earth, you control one of these lords that have been ruined by the late wars and take a new beginning.
Write the next instalment of this story ! Rule Middle Earth !
This fictive scenario is inspired by the books and letters of J.R.R. Tolkien and the website of Sampsa Rydman: Lindefirion.
This is a fiction story from what could occur in about 1650 T.A. If you wanna know more about this period, I invite you to visit the website Lindefirion.

Map Story
I started (5/6 years ago xD) to work on Battle For Osgiliath (from scratch) thanks to Lindëfirion, with my poor knowledge of roc maps with my late map Battle For Middle Earth 6.5. Most of the units/skills of LoME are from this map.
After ending that rather bad but appreciated map, I started Battle To Umbar by erasing the terrain of Osgiliath. After a while I thought about doing a trilogy, so I gave the management of the first map Battle For Ithil to my half brother that is still working on it (also originally based on Battle For Osgiliath).
Battle To Umbar was really appreciated but the map never really worked and in January 2010 I decided to make an other kind of map with the same terrain to save time and to keep spreading the story of this period : Lords of Middle Earth.
And the map came out in March 2010; and thanks to you guys is working as I couldnt have expected!
(You can find these five maps here : http://warlotr.free.fr/)
Influences
First influences of course come from the Tolkien's universe and from the maps of the Lord of the Ring on Warcraft.
Influences also come from old strategy games such as Age of Empire, Age of Mythologie, Starcraft... but mostly from management games like Anno (1701/1404), Sim City (3000, 4), Total War or even Mount and Blade.
Now you know (almost ^^) everything !
Modern Gamers : An other warcraft/starcraft website.

When i chose Ramlond (or whatever it calls) the teleporter is placed in such an awkward position that all my resources keep teleporting back whenever they going to Umbar. Either change it to Khand or move the teleport somewhere else.

Still haven't played, but good work. You already managed to find some bugs by yourself... now to solve them xD
By the way, I have a GREAT improvement for your map. I mean, REALLY.
How you like it?

Hehe, sure - should of thought of that, sorry it is very confusing.
Ok, follow the 'Registry' section of this tutorial: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/t...8/#post1518264
(thanks for the comment btw, means alot - and it's very good example; Diablo 3 hopefully it'll turn some heads)
Then Download this folder: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/p...esources-X.rar
And extract it's contents to the 'Warcraft III' game folder usually found somewhere like
C:\Program Files\Warcraft III
Then Download this map: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/p...es/TestMap.w3m
Open it in the editor, hit test - and walah you should be able to see loads of custom models + if you go back to editor and look at the import manager and the file size, you'll see nothing and a very small number respectively
How you like it?

It`s a really well done map.
The terrain is good. The story is good either. Great (tool)tips, choice of models, overall map theme.
This map also forces players to have stratego in every way - economy/army/etc. That is the point that many maps are missing.
Very good description in-map and great description at Hive.
Just small thing: Why workes has 2 repair abilities?
There is not much to write coz this map is simply great. I`ll give it 4(.5)/5 coz it`s not something really new but very, very well done.

Woaw ! Thx for these compliments !!
-you have a virtal stock of weapon (you have to put an item "Weapon" in a barrack to increase it; and if at the beggining you chose a "fighter" hero (red runes), your stock is also increased by 1 each x seconds (according to your level))
-each time you train a warrior, it reduces the stock by 1
-you can buy weapons, but you can also produce them in a Blacksmith and each weapon needs 2 Iron Ore to be made.
I hope it answers to your question.
EDIT : SasuhKun plz post your links again because here I think u copied the links with the "..." (u didnt copy an [url ] X[/url ] but just the X and then you put the [url ] [/url ] around; so I cannot open it !)
I didn't really understand ur question, but I can tell you that :
-you have a virtal stock of weapon (you have to put an item "Weapon" in a barrack to increase it; and if at the beggining you chose a "fighter" hero (red runes), your stock is also increased by 1 each x seconds (according to your level))
-each time you train a warrior, it reduces the stock by 1
-you can buy weapons, but you can also produce them in a Blacksmith and each weapon needs 2 Iron Ore to be made.
I hope it answers to your question
.LoL I didn't notice that xD but u're right, that's odd. I'll fix this ^^

In fact, in order to drop, you just have to stop producing; that's why I made the "Drop Items" stuff not to loose any second ! (only 1 ^^)

Gollum, read that fast. I mean, it is REALLY, REALLY important. Could help a lot in your map. I've tested myself, and it works brilliantly.

It's a great idea but it cannot work for a new map ! This system needs people to DL the folder ...
Anyway, thanks for suggesting it !!!

Well, they will not need to dl the folder every single time. Since most versions just fix bugs and terrain, you wouldn't need to download a new folder. All the changes that require changing the folder, you will save them, and unleash everything at once in one version plus new folder. And if we actually support it, it will be common in no time.

This only can work with an active community, not a new map that needs to be DLed on Bnet ! Anyway, for now, it's impossible.
Yes we can !
-reach level 4 and declare war to a faction, and attack one of its village. You will get more inhabitants + more Raw Material spots.
-if your question is on villages owned by player : Noooooo It would be imba
. you just can destroy them.

I found another bug. When you attack faction after declaring the war, player attacking gets a communicate about attacking a friendly faction and attacking units dies.. :/

Is this the same as Battle for Umbar? You should make some map with full Middle Earth terrain...

I used the same place in Middle Earth, at the same time, because it's in an interesting period. The good stuff with whole Middle Earth would only be the terrain.
+ the cities on a whole Middle Earth would be really disproportionate toward the scale.
If you want I erase all the terrain and I give you the map; then you make the terrain, and arrange the regions, the scenario, the names. (It's serious !! If you feel ready to do this ... it takes me 2 min to erase
EDIT : ah ! i just found what makes markets crash ! it's very wierd ^^ : the 'equivalent dependence' of the packsaddle horse they can produce xDDD

LoL ye I make one per day ^^. (Terraining is veryyyy long !!)

Ah, and i have a idea - maybe our Lord can be faction leader? Killing King of Gondor without heir can lead to a Civil War. As a consequence our "avatar" can be great regent, great sheriff or something like that. A! And remember to do something like this titles: Great Admiral of the Gondorian Navy, General of Gondorian Army so we can lead armies of Gondor to war with Khand! xD

I have a similar problem with shadonavan. when i first test the map everything is alright but when i declare war on a either of the three faction(i was level 4 already) and sent my troops to attack a unit or town they all die as it also said that when i attack an enemy i declared; you can not attack...(i forgot what it said), the first thing that happen to me when the faction i wage war with is that they attack me and my units die instantly trying defend my town even when i tried to declare war again just to make sure my men and hero still dies and the message says after declaring war "Stupid Boy" thats kind of insulting especially when the enemy killing my men who are unable to defend themselves and the town.
I hope you can fix this problem coz i like how that map works and i would like to request to remove the stupid boy comment with something more mature, also try an event where an random attacks from orcs or something.
3\5 for war trigger problem but a 5\5 if fixed and map gone gold

Hi I have just teste your map in singleplayer and I must say it's amazing. Trully nice custom.
Anyhow i come across a couple of bur or "unpleasantnesses". One by one...
First i choose Valdúmir Alcariale (hope i spell it properly) as first hero. He has Parry and Mithril armor ability. One giving chance to avoid attack other chance to block certain amount of damage. Imho these skills works contrary. Mean they should not be on one hero. If Valdúril is supposed to be tank hero I would rather recommend something simple for example ability increasing hp by +100/200/300 or something like this.
Second blacksmiths, vineyards and other "manufactures" which gives some materials (grapes etc) or products (swords etc) drops those too close. Increase the size of them or make them appear bit faurther away from buildings.
And last when I played in singleplayer i reach level 4 and allied with Umbar and declared war on Gondor. However whenever I tried to fight Gondorians my soldiers got perma-killed. It shows alert message that i tried to attack Gondor etc...
Hope it's all understandable my english is still flawless...
Good luck with map I'll be looking forward for updates.

Guy I think thanks to you i found what makes it bug this way : if you are allied with an other faction ! because, I just tested it without and it works like hell
.Working on this.
That's an idea !
Smart reasoning! I might change that
(in fact I need to review all the heroes)

A bug occur since Umbar and Gondor declare war to each other (they are both controlled by computer):
When this happens, Umbar enters in the group "Ennemies of Gondor", vice versa; and this way the other players in those groups (or the new ones that enter it) are not everytime (ye ye weird ^^) considered as being in (but they're still in it in real!).
And the "kill-the-non-ennemy-attacker" stuff is based on this, so you cannot attack neutral and allies, but not even your ennemies ...(You still can attack Khand and other players btw).
Anyway, I'll try to fix this !

the sheep farms dont have a button to drop there milk if you research it.. and really milking sheeps? lol maybe change them to cows or something
also packhorses drop the stuff too quickly into the marketplace that it doesnt always sell them if he has a few items
umbar declared war on gondor but yet only umbar ever actually sent units around the map at them is this intentional for it too be a one sided war

Ow ye u're fucking right !! (btw you can drop them by stopping production)
you played on 0.2 ?
I never saw it. It might just be because you didn't see gondorian attacks ...
But anyway, those attack have to be updated.
PS : your post is PERFECT
Thx ! (exactly the kind of stuff that make the map moving on)

I could only get milk by canceling the ships. And not having a Iron Ore on your base= complicated to go to war.

It's impossible ! I explain why : when unit are making units, they cannot move/drop items or use abilities, they just can research an update or make an other unit; that's why I created the unit "Drop Items" (linked to a trigger)How about a fast mode
Ofc ! I know it seems uncommon i our times ... (Goats would be better for this but there are no models) (and i LOVE sheeps
.Why so ? just buy your weapons ! (or buy Iron Ore and turn them into weap.)
The other way to get more weapons is to take a "Fighter" hero at the beggining (red runes).
LoL you're mad.

I know. Want me to post the replay?
And how getting a fighter hero at the beginning get me weapons? And buying weapons and ore is too complicated. I'm more fond of doing then repeteadly and automatically. (I had so much wine, grain, grapes, and bread that they started massing up in my castle. Awsimz excedent ftw.)
