Lotr : Defense of Minas Tirith

Orcnet: The cinematic of an Orc saying 'attack' is very dull and not even useful for the map, then there is this message saying some random hero just died which is very odd.

The gameplay's performance is very good, although some of the heroes rely more on single targets than aoe which enhances co-op, the visuals or so the terrain made for the map is also nice. Map is overall acceptable.

Looks quite good from the screenshots.

Can't seem to bring it to work. The Name of the Campaign appears on Frozen Throne "Custom Game", when I start it, nothing happens (except the control panel goes away and comes right back).

.w3x-File it didn't help. Would love to try out but can't.

 

[PlankingWolf]

Looks pretty awesome.

Yo, check this. You can find there a Lord Of The Rings UI, which would fit better to your map.

Gottit to Work, the blame is on me, I was on Version 1.21b, had to update to 1.26a.

What I really love are the skills. Though they are awesome based on mechanics (which are simple enough for anyone to understand), and i.e. Aragorn's Ghosts made me shake around, some of the skills just do damage with no graphical effect (yet).

It would be awesome if one day the voices of the movie-characters would be heard.
I also suggest that some common lore music would be played.

Playing alone is pretty hard, even knowing that the tavern heals you, wish I could select more heroes but then again it's common this way

Will test it out some more. This looks like it could become one of the most stylish maps in some time. I love Middle earth so I look forward for any update.

Edit: Oh, I encountered some Enemies that stop in their tracks when my guy died. Don't know if that is supposed to happen.

thank you for your reply and i will see what i can do about sounds... and yes single player is hard... but you can do if you get soldiers and upgrade them... but multiplayer is always cooler!

positive suggestions i will always listen to ^^

[Heinvers]

[BandolXD]

Finally ! It uploaded in Hive !

 

[galactcus]

thank you people for the support i will try my best to make the best lotr hero defense map ^^

 

[eubz]

I could say that this is indeed a nice map but a very good map should also have a very good description and presentation to lure many to download this map. I am going to download this because I see, from the screenshot, that this is indeed beautiful.

[Footman16]

Use BB codes. Look at my maps for inspiration.

 

[Orcnet]

Map approved.

 

[galactcus]

Map approved.

i will try to fix that random message and fix the cinematics... ^^
thank you for the tips

 

[KillerMr]

Is a good map, good mechanics, good heroes, awesome terrain but need use 100% of the map, more items and fix some bugs

Put it into your maps folder.

looks like the real story lol. I like the ss, hope I can test it soon..

 

[Kregorn]

We did it, oh yes.
3 hours of *** fighting. First hour was good, hard and interesting. But 2 anoters...
Fun ended when we became too stronger for creeps.
But i think this map has the future, and with some updates i will play this again. Thanks.

Hi!

The map overall is quite good! Terrain is good and gameplay is enjoyable.
Heres some things you should add and fix.

-When a goblin dies, he starts to jump automaticly and being crazy when he is dead.
-You should add a leaderboard or a quest where it says when Reinforcements commes and important things like that. When i played the game, i did saw with once that it should be a thing there. Try add the leaderboard when things happens!
or else 4.7/5 =)

Ohhh thank you a sam skin will be cool hehe !

could you make a cool gollum skin for ghoul for me or maybe an orc skin or a skin for the blood elf model (the blood elf skin of war doesnot fit with others skins) ?

I tried out the map and here is my review:
the new interface including UI and command buttons just looks amazing. same as the terrain, but i think i already said that
Hero Review: Gimli
I noticed many things, the hero reminds me too much on the normal mountain king, some more custom abilities would make it more exciting. Something like.. changing the hammer throw that it bounces on targets 2 times for example. also, the hammer throw should have an increased STR-Multiplier per level instead of the static x2.5, like thunderclap has it. Same to the Iron Rage. change it to percentage damage, otherwise the ability will be somehow useless on very high level. I'd recommend to do it like that:
Increases the damage of Gimli by 50% for:
-Level 1: 8 seconds
-Level 2: 10 seconds
-Level 3: 12 seconds
-Level 4 : 14 secods
That will make the ability useful in early game, but also in lategame.
The passive aura could be changed to something cool like:
What don't hurt you makes you stronger. Gimli's attack damage increases by 5% for each 10% missing life [PASSIVE]
you could also increase attack speed or lower the damage taken.
same about the ulti. make it percentage, maybe reduce damage taken by 30% and increase damage dealt by 30%, or add an additional ability like a passive bash in avatar form (or cleave attack).
What i noticed is that if you use your thunder clap, the map lags heavily. That could have 2 reasons, either the trigger has some mistake or is very unefficient, or its just the crater deformation, which i would always remove.

overall the map has a lot of potential and its lots of fun to play,and as i can see, the map is under heavy progress, so i cant wait to see more content

EDIT: i send you the icons, take a look at it

[GIMLI_2]

if you need support in custom abilities, let me know

Hey Galactcus do you still work on this map?

I gave it 15 minutes and i think it has great potential. The good thing is that your map is based on something which means it has principles based on which you develop the world/heroes/skills etc, thats good!
I like the fact that there are many items to choose from and skills are based on different attributes. This gives room for build diversity.
One thing i think you should remove are the permanent +stats books.
