nice terrain.. but... Minas Tirith is a bit wierd... you shud remake it.. it shud look like an half circle.

 

[Arvedui]

It's a good map. Everything seems to be fine. It seems as though proper credit is given to everyone who made models and such.

I don't think the terrain is an issue, actually. These types of maps don't need complex terrains. And Minas Tirith looks fine.

EDIT: Also I like the multi-shot ability that the towers have. I've never seen that before in these kinds of maps.

Balancing is always going to be an issue, but it looks good from here, but then again I always play orcs.

However, if you still insist of another review after it had been review for second time. Feel free to contact other admin.

[+] - All hotkey seem to be working well.
[!] -
[-] - Map protected and never mention.
[-] - Terrain doesn't look quite well, it lack of certain doodad/destructible.

Review : Well, this map certainly follow the theme of LOTR as close as possible consider the ladder system, the invasion system and everything else that had been implement by the author.

However, the terrain lack of the feeling of being a desert as it lack certain destructible such as rock and cactus.

Finally, the author of the map never mention this map is protected.

Another -6 points for this map.

It makes very much fun to play the map. Cool custom models and nice triggers.
One of my favourite maps.

Could be the best WC 3 Minas Tirith map.


But the bad point is that the map is very unbalanced. You can´t win if you play on the evil side.

Trolls die to fast;

ladders aren´t working very well -> If you select units send them to the ladders they don´t climb up

Evil side needs much more gold at the start to rush Osgiliath.

I mean some unit upgrade descriptions are mixed up.



All in all cool map.

-I can't destroy White tower.And i did destroy 2 deffence towers near it.
-Why Gothmog has ability to turn in to Balrog?Balrog is creature of fire and Gothmog is an orc.
-Where did you find the name of the which king "El Murazor".
-All archers are week.
-Why there is not single tree in whole map.Minas Tirit is not in desert.
-You could use Trebuchet model on Hive for your trebuchets.

I didn't altered the gameplay since 2006, this latest version only includes a few custom models, new loading screen/map preview image and terrain changes.
If I have lots of free time, I will work on it. Triggers are amauterish, since they were made years ago.
Still, thanks for your comments.

 

[VeljkoM]

Well i was to much of the critic.Map is great.

 

[Gath_Stormer]

Minas Tirith doesn't need to be a half circle Warhunter. I think its more accurate that way anyway. I don't know though anyway I will play and give feedback.

 

[VeljkoM]

It is to small.Units get stuck once inside.That is attackers point of view.

 

[cell_destroyer]

this map is the best minas tirith map out there IMO but i think orcs should start with more gold OR their units should cost less >.> and i agree minas tirith shouldnt be in desert :0

 

[deathreaven]

Minis tirith was surrounded by mountains, had a river, and the river was surrounded by forest. I just reread the return of tthe king.

 

[NWG_Jonas]

Minas Tirith feels abit small (hard to battle in) overall a nice minas map.

 

[Falconeye]

Imo the balancing needs editing. What I feel is most unreasonable is the free people victory trigger killing the witch king. All evil need do is leave him at the bottom of the map and they can be safe from defeat. I like the concept though. 3/5

 

[danny-345o]

the castle is very bad made it shall be much more higher and more archers. like in helms deep that is a nice castle terrain, make it higher and more archers that will be nice.

Uh...I would assume you are not a huge The Lord of the Rings fan as I am because Gothmog was originally a Balrog of Morgoth, and Peter Jackson (Director of The Lord of the Rings) wanted to use that name for an Orc Lieutenant. I believe this person whom made this map got mixed up between the two. If you have not, go read The Lord of the Rings Books. (Most people are idiots and do not know that The Lord of the Rings was originally a Book Trilogy.)

 

[tsubassa]

tis map is not so balance, the human had to many unit at start, and the orcs oni have 25 food limit , too less.....
make the spawning time of orc unit faster, and give more resources for orc cuz evil shud be proer at start of the game.ALSO,INCREASE THE FOOD LIMIT TO AT LETAS 50 for orc

 

[XDEditor]

If u are on the evil side..its very hard to win cause of the food limit.. at least increase the food limit or make the units slightly stronger

 

[Gamling]

I agree with XDEditor. Make it have a bigger food limit.

 

[Burgald]

The map Looks Nice !!!!
