[Role Playing Game] The Lord of the Rings

[PyroKnight]

I want to create a RPG map based on The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but i want to make it different from this other The Lord of the Rings maps. What i really need is now your ideas what possible features should be put in this map? I'm thinking to use only HD resources.

Here are the resources i will use in the map (if i find more HD resources i will update the list) :

Gondor

1. Gondorian Roof
2. Gondorian Wall
3. Gondorian Tower V1
4. Gondorian Tower V2
5. Gondor Infantry
6. Gondor Knight
7. Gondor Archer

Mordor

1. Nazgul Rider
2. Barad'Dur
3. Sauron
4. Nazgul Foot
5. Sauron's Mace

Rohan

1. King Theoden
2. Rohan Infantry
3. Rohan Rider
4. Yeomen Archer

Are you sure you can fit it in one map? what about a campiagn? (campaign sounds better for me)

 

[PyroKnight]

It can fit in one large map, campaign is too much it's better creating it in one map.

It depends what you want from an RPG. It could be made LotR based, where players select characters and then vaguely follow the story events even if the characters involved make no sense. If it is PvP it could be loosely based on one of the climax events where each team has like 30 minutes to build up their heroes doing LotR style things to influence the final battle. It could be based on one of the major battle sequences where players have to develop their heroes with side quests and fight off ever increasing strength attack waves until they can break the siege. It could be made something utterly ludicrous where players select LotR heroes and villians and then mess around in a LotR themed map similar to LoaP.

Generally the entire LotR story does not translate well to a coop RPG because it was written as a book and major characters die or are out of action for long periods.
