Been working on this for some time, my goal to bring a more film accurate version of Edors into the game while pulling in certain elements from the books descriptions. Ttandchotmail is building models of all the buildings on the summit, as well as Meduseld for your fortress. When hes ready im sure he will showcase some of his work in here.

Here are som screens of my progress on the map:

Above the vast city of Edoras:

I can't really tell from that angle, but it may need to be a little more hill like. More elevation, maybe.

Well those were the buildings that could be seen from the closer angles of the Edoras , like when Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Gandalf were ascending to Medusled. The other houses that appear on the hillside in the film are CGI. But the pics you see are really the set they used for filming
I will remember Rhovanion Alliance, RIP .

Hey, njm, is there a reason that Theoden's burial mound is there? :D Because, from the appendices (which I am looking at right now) the line of Eorl through Helm (the line that you have farther away from the city) was nine mounds: correct number. But Frealaf through Thengel was only seven kings, and Theoden was the eighth. Since Eomer wasn't Theoden's son, he would have started a third line, but that's not really relevant for the time-frame, I guess. :p Anyway, in short, you need to take out one of the mounds on the upper side of the road. :crazed:
