I think there are smoke emitters in WB, so that should be possible. I tried to do the same for Sauron's little mountain

Thanks all for comments, Ive been doing a ton of research on the Isengard and from what I can tell EA had some things off. While for mission purposes the damn makes sense inside isengard, but doesnt when you consider that the river isen then flowed through isengard. next when watching scenes in TT the water that floods isengard appears to be flowing north to south, rather than west to east which would support the damn inside isengard. plus most area maps of the valley have the river to the east of Isengard flowing south from the northern part of the mountain. So any way without further delay:
Ill be adding a dried river bed to the eastern side, Im thinking this will be a 4 player map, and the 3 outside will be in the corners, this is a 600 x 600 map now.

That new cavern is truly awesome. Is that going to be the new furnace or something?
Ignited into the world in a flash of lightning, it gleams faintly in the heart of its mother, wood. It begins as an ember, a mere wisp of heat and colour. Its chance of survival at this critical moment is minute, yet it fights on, against the unforgiving cold, against the depths of night and against its mortal enemy: rain.

By furnace Im assuming you mean, the resource structure? And that these caverns will be a resource structure? I didnt plan on it, these caverns are more for looks than anything.

It would be so cool if the caves would give resources or upgrades for the Isengard player.

Interesting idea although I doubt theres a way to do it. On a side note we are going to implement different special abilities for the citadels of fortress maps specific to the race whom the fortress belongs to. For instance Minas tirith has the vision of the palantir power for Men player only. Caras Galadhon is using the lorien tree house as the citadel and it has elven mists for Elven player only. We may try and have Isengard have a special mount ability for Saruman to get on top the tower, doubtfull though. and there is an obvious power yet to be decided.
Heres another update been working mostly on terrain, ive added the river bed and decide to use static water that passable instead of it being bone dry. My plan is to get the terrain all finished that doesnt need changing between the 2 versions. so mountains general exterior of Isengard and river. That way its just a matter of texture differences.

Great plan! Sounds perfect! 
The two versions could come in handy for the campaign!
For the Saruman on top thing, I think we can do it, if the tower would have a passenger bone on top... Maybe Ed or someone could "model" it in there? =)

My concern now is its height cause its now scaled to 2.0 and I dont think the top will be visible.

Move the camera out a bit? You could script it for when the screen is directly over Orthanc I think.

can be done no problem.
for the camera thing all you have to do is create a trigger area and set up a new camera view, then when the script is active the camera will go into the new camera settings when you scroll over that area, I did it before but for the life of me I can't remember

There are enough examples to look at among the BfMe1-Campaign-Map scripts, i guess.

That would be so cool Ed, well the entire map will be so cool!

Finally finished the mountain. the 2 paths lead to signal fires on either side. The paths dont connect. So the map has now been saved twice so i can build 2 versions from this point on.

Quick question: What's up with the Gondor Castle overlays in the corners? 
Careful. This link is DANGEROUS. Do NOT click it. This one, however, is fine.

I use them for spacing and reference, this way the players bases outside don't have terrain Interrerring with base layouts. They will be removed at a later point.
