Anyways. This was an idea I had a while back. I've always thought it would be great to see an area on the main menu where you could select one of the epic battles from BFME1 (Minas Tirith, Black Gate, Helms Deep) and battle it out without having to make a separate save-game at every major battle throughout. Know what I mean?
I'd love to see something like that done. Not standard WotR maps, not campaign but set aside in its own special menu for selection. 'Epic Battles' or something like that. You all remember the ones I'm talking about. The constant waves of enemies in Minas Tirith, with the horns and the non-stop attacking? C'mon.
You can't say that wouldn't be great.
'The Twilight of Man is nigh, and coming ever closer. The days have shortened into cold, forlorn darkness and sunrise to sundown is a bitter struggle for survival. But do not think for a moment that we shall not fight. We shall not go quietly into the dusk. We shall not throw down arms and flee, or surrender. We will go on, we will not falter. And even should we die, we shall make an end that will be remembered for thousands of years. For beautiful Arnor that is, for glorious Númenor that was! We are the Dúnedain, we are the Men of the North, and our foes will remember our steel!'

Careful. This link is DANGEROUS. Do NOT click it. This one, however, is fine.

only that you can't add a new "section" about epic battles..
you can have them among the other skirmish maps, but eh..
I'll be honest.. That would make the campaign a lot less interesting, and not worthwhile..
The thing I love most about BFME1, is playing through the campaign If I could just play all the battles right on, and just play though it, it wouldn't be as interesting..
I don't know if RJ's been able to make it so that units follow through the different battles, but atleast in BFME1 it rocked when you had an army coming in, that already had ranks and the likes...

It wouldn't be a 'force' thing. What I'm saying is I don't like having to save the game just before the siege of Minas Tirith to be able to go in and play it again by reloading that saved game. If I just want to hop on for thirty minutes and give a run through in Minas Tirith, it should be selectable from the skirmish menu for the player to be able to do so.
This is something I've never seen in another LOTR mod and I think it would draw a lot more people to the mod also.
'EPIC BATTLES SELECTABLE FROM THE SKIRMISH MENU' would be a pretty drawing advertisement, would it not? :D I for one most certainly think it would.

So when you choose which map to play on in skirmish, there's the normal Helm's Deep skirmish map, and then beneath it there is Helm's Deep Epic or something that is scripted.
At least that's what I'm envisioning.

I think it would be a great inclusion, like I said. It'd totally draw a lot of people to RJ-ROTWK. I could remember playing BFME 1, thinking about how awesome it would be if I could select one of the big battles right from the skirmish menu. But I guess its a matter of opinion.

The issue is whether we want this though. We may make you work to play the big battles
Although...I think there'll be at least a Minas Tirith, because rob thought NJM's was too laggy for the campaign.

This would be something you guys could put on a banner.
'FULLY CUSTOMIZED ARNOR! BRAND NEW CUSTOM CAMPAIGN MODE! REVAMPED WAR OF THE RING! NEW UNITS, AND PREVIOUS UNITS RESKINNED! EPIC BATTLES SELECTABLE FROM SKIRMISH MENU!'
How can that honestly NOT attract a die-hard BFME 2 - ROTWK player? Seriously.
