I wish I could play that great game...But I knew I had seen something like that before...Is there really a hill whit Hobbit houses in Lotro?

[mike_]

...yes.

[Floris]

Really? Well, I never came in the Northren part of Bree...

[njm1983]

Well im sorry to say I no longer have this map I must have deleted it when I was moving things around.

Heres a look at Combe - EA's Bree map renamed



Heres a look at Bree:

[Nazgûl]

Nice =)

[yams in a can]

Yay! All this progress ^^.

[KingElessar2384]

Sweet. But could you possibly add an Inn? (is there one already?) Also, maybe it could rain in this entire map, since it did rain in Bree in the movies.
Thx.

[njm1983]

HEHE, the Inn is there, We have some things planned for the future so using the Inn as you know it wont be relevant ingame. Thats a good idea about the rain, I had considered it myself.... I just need to figure out how to get around the freezing rain spell. Maybe real light rain for the map that way a person can tell when freezing rain is activated since its heavy rain...

[yams in a can]

Freezing Rain should be a debuff, then it would actually be useful . If it was, then you could see all the purple fx on the enemy units .

[njm1983]

Well as you know Bree is unique because its a place where hobbits and the "big" folk live together. Trying to bring these different cultures together is somewhat challenging. So let me present the hobbit homes of bree.... well some of em anyway.



Yams thats a good point about the freezing rain.... Im thinking Itd be nice if the thunder audio played througout the time it was in effect as well as get back the BFME lightning flash effect. That way a person could tell the difference between rain and freezing rain.

NJM try to think of the special topic in the staff forums, you know what I mean It would be usefull to just plan that in right now otherwise you'll end up having to edit the map to much. (Use a placeholder)

[King Harlaus]

Do you plan to put people in your map , I mean , like a living world , to improve the feeling of a welll crowded settlement ?

[Ridder Blauw]

How would that work? As neutrals?

[Lauri]

As civilians.. Just like wolves, horses, birds and bears already work in-game

[njm1983]

RB: pm me, I'm not sure what you mean. I know what you're referring to, but I don't understand why it will create a bunch of map editing for me.

If placing civilians is that simple and won't consume too much (computer) resources the I may just add them in then, on all relevant maps.

[{IRS}Athos]

Perhaps this is required for gameplay purposes, but I feel that the streets are too wide. Otherwise, map looks gorgeous... especially liking the hobbit-hole placement.
