Wait, sorry, the map was for B4ME II, though I reckon it could be made for B4ME. Anyway, here's a screenie for ya.
And the link to the map, if you need it: http://mevault.ign.c...2...tail&id=900

I will be editing my exisiting Minas Tirith map to add plots on the third level however I think to have a 7 (well six with plots) would be very difficult to do, and would be very imbalanced.

[Alsch]

In what way?

[adummy]

the defenders could hold Minas Tirith with diffuculty if units are on the highest level because they could fire at every unit anywhere in the city unless the map was freakishly huge which would cause too much lag, even for the best computers

[m@tt]

Basically you end up with lag, a huge amount of building, problems with building stairs and time taken to move about. You'll be happy with the three tier version

[messenger]

The battle of Slideshow Tirith . I don't think anybody has ever managed to do a 7 level Minas Tirith ingame anyway, due to lag at awesome levels.

[m@tt]

But two levels is still fine. I may add the third if I feel like it. I did have a go but couldnt get units to walk under the mountain arch.

[Alsch]

To answer your question, there won't be (as far as we know) the super ladder you described, and the Grond won't get pulled by great beasts. They're too big to make it work.

I've just finished the Good Campaign for BfME2, and the word "sucked" doesn't cover how bad it was. An RA campaign would make me feel all giddy, since I know that the team can deliver QUALITY stuff. Curses to EA! That campaign deviled Tolkien ¬_¬

Things that annoyed me:
- Balrog at Dol-Guldur
- 2 Dragons at Dol-Guldur
- Drogoth in Ered Luin
- Wyrm in "Celduin" and Dol-Guldur (didn't mind the one in Rivendell)
- The missions are way too easy
- Arwen on an Eagle
- Lack of missions
- The Mouth of Sauron outside Mordor
- " just HAPPENS to find a secret entrance to Erebor ¬_¬

*Sigh* If only EA had taken a page out of RA's book and not ravaged Tolkien's lore.

If RA was to make a campaign, how do you reckon they'd split up the story lines? I think there's: The Fellowship, Rohan, Gondor, Dale, Mirkwood and Erebor's storylines to fill in. The campaign would probably be huge ... Although, I wouldn't mind. A game that keeps me playing is good

Questions for the staff:
Have you ever thought of any missions for a campaign? What directions would you take the campaign?

(P.S: There's a lot of things people could discuss in this thread, so keep discussing! It doesn't matter if there's no campaign.)

campaign isn't top priority really.

We'll need units to act in that campaign first, so we're much better off creating those, getting them on a battlefield for you to have fun with, and then using them in a campaign at a later stage/release.

but I think it's great that you guys are discussing it already, might bring us some ideas to use when we reach that stage.

[Uruk King]

I have a few suggestions for an evil campaign, Moria Goblins and Gundabad orcs decsend from the Mountains and attack the men of the vales of the Anduin and eventually take the anduin and attack the wood elves. Meanwhile the forces Mordor and Rhun, lead by the Nazgul attack the Dwarves and the Men of Dale, and finally succeed in taking Erebor, and thus ending the war in the North.

[hdh7]

What about a Rhovanion Alliance campaign? Is that a possibility.
[as in Erebor, Mirkwood, and Dale, not the Mod itself]

[Olorin]

If they could create separate campaigns: a Rhovanion campaign (War in the North), Fellowship campaign (self-explanatory), a Men of the West (excuse the lack of creativity with this name, please!) campaign which would comprise of Gondor and Rohan, an Evil of the East campaign which would comprise of Saurons armies (Evil Men, orcs, trolls, etc.), and finally an Evil Eriador thingy campaign (all of the remnants of the forces of Angmar and Moria, so Goblins, Trolls, etc.). Now if that could be created that should turn into an official game, but it would be extremely hard to do; extremely with a capital Y.

[Nertea]

Judging from my interface research, we're limited to 2 campaigns.

[Olorin]

I figured that much, yeah. But if you guys could do that that would be fantastic, it'll comliment the mod in every way.

[Celeglin]

May as well just have two very large campaigns, rather than splitting them into numerous smaller ones.
