LOTR Mount Doom Battle is a map where the armies of Middle Earth clash within the heart of Mount Doom (I don't know how this is possible, I guess magic) to claim victory over each other. Choose your race, build your base, and train your army. Fight for control of the center of the map to increase your income and accumulate "Conquest Points" to claim victory
(UPDATE 1.1 AND BEYOND CAN NOW BE PLAYED WITH AI)Features
- Can be played using AI players
- AI difficulty settings: easy, normal, hard, and insane
- 7 unique races
- 13 custom heroes
- Income based on controlling points around the center of the map
- Environmental threats
- Several bosses with special rewards that spawn as the game progresses
- Many custom items
- 5 bonus heroes that can be obtained through certain magical methods
Conquering Other Players
- When you destroy an enemy Fortress, that player is given the option to serve as your vassal, play as Gollum instead, or simply quit the game
- Vassals have a significantly reduced food limit and base income
- If a player chooses to play as Gollum instead of becoming a vassal, they are given another chance at victory through an alternate victory condition
How do You Claim Victory?
- Reach 10,000 "Conquest Points" by capturing Control Points in the middle of the map, killing enemy units, and/or destroying enemy Fortresses (Takes about 40 to 50 minutes on average depending on the number of players)
- Once you reach 10,000 conquest points you are granted unstoppable power. Use this power to kill the Fortresses of the remaining enemy players and you will be victorious
- For players controlling Gollum there is a different means of claiming victory. Victory is achieved by capturing The One Ring and holding on to it in the center of the map for 8 minutes

Anti-light and Anti-heavy Cavalry abilities have the same icon. Anti-infantry as well.
Mithril Spurs has the same icon as Haul Ass.
Think you went overboard with the ingame credits.
Quite a neat LotR based altered melee-strategy risk map.
Decent.

- A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
- A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
- Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Nice map 5/5
I played few games with full lobby AI here
Pros:
-Unit countering so you cant just spam a single unit and win
-"Some" creative ability design
-Variety of factions to chose from
Cons:
-AIs dont pick items from ground which lead to weak late game heros
-UnSkipable cinematics
-AIs sometimes stuck they hero in their building so they cant use it for reminder of the game
wish there was a option to make the game longer or shorter by changing the required conquest point

Hey Rifleman! Thanks a lot for giving my map a try and the review!
-AI heroes do pick up items but its a bit hit and miss. If their inventories are full, then they wont pick anything else up. I'll work on it some more though!
-I'll try and figure out a way to make cinematics skippable.
-Yeah, AIs do sometimes get stuck, I was thinking about a way to fix this. I'll address that in the next update.
-Really good idea about allowing for higher conquest points, I'll add an option for that.
I will be adding a unique power reward for each race when reaching required conquest points. Also, I might add one more boss.

This is an amazing map! You really feel like you're playing some sort of big super mario minigame, but LOTR themed and on Mount Doom! Awesome!
I love how the gameplay slightly changes throughout the game, with various new objectives always coming up. The ultimate weapons are also very fun.
A must play for any lotr fan, and even other players!

The review is much appreciated! Haha, yeah I guess it is sort of like a mario party game in a way now that you mention it! I will be updating the map pretty soon here with a couple of new bosses and several new ultimate weapons.
I see you have a super mario map, I want to give it a try but I don't even know how to replace my MPQ after reforged.

You are automatically granted it if you are the first to reach the required conquest point score. So, if you set it to 7,000 point requirement and reach 7,000 before other players you should get it.
It should give you a list to choose from of conquest rewards: Galadriel, Orthanc, Nukes, etc. Did you see that list?

Galadriel power doesn't work apparently? I was playing as Haradim with AI.

Thank you! In my carelessness I forgot to enable that trigger for Galadriel! I have updated the map. You can type "-me win" to instantly get access to the power choice menu if you want to test them out.
