Sweet. Remember you can add impassible terrain now. We can adjust all super locomotors by map.ini, and possibly add some compensating features to factions with flying units, which i recommend we remove by map.ini as well.

Oh no, was it to soon?

Lovely map!

Awesomeness The dwarves have always been my favourite faction by far and I always thought bfme1 and 2 needed more dwarven realms to battle on Great work mate

Very nice, especially the caves . But one little thing: in the movies the halls were in a squarform (I hope you understand this ) and here it is one big hall. But that's just a little reminder, it is your map so you decide it .

Ack! Youre right. I was having a really hard time finiding good reference pics, and I ended up using some renders some artists had made. i finally found a good pic that shows alot of columns from looking downward position and yeah the columns are set in squares. doh... Ill be fixing that today then.


EDIT: Ive fixed the columns, and theres a botomless crevice thats been added to the map as well.

You know, we could use more Mappers on the team... hehe

[njm1983]

Update: Muhahahah! I have finished placing all the columns, and carving the chasms. Now im texturing and adding things to expand the environments feel.



Had a thought about a Balrog creep just for this map. Not really sure but make him so he doesnt interfere with the summonable one in anyway. Im not sure what the lair would be, maybe the fire drake lair would work. I could put him at the center point of the map and he'd be fun to try and take out.

I feel honoured, and I would really like to join your team, but I really don't have much time to make maps, I think I'm out of the team in no-time because I hardly make any progress
On page 5 of this Link you can see how far my progress is for the RC mod in 3 weeks. And that's the only map I work on .

@ NJM: is Balin's tomb going to be in there?

The tomb... a thing of mystery to me... I cant for the life of me figure out how moria is laid out in the film. It would seem that the tomb is somewhere near the center of the hall but it contradicts itself with the shaft of light beaming into it. It would make more sense if the tomb was at the side of the hall and the back wall with the shaft of light was sharing the outer wall of the mountain. Its also obvious in the film after the initial goblin attack the fellowship leaves the same way they came in and continued in the hall until they reached the stairs.

Because of this dificulty I wasnt planning on putting it in the map, but since I enjoy challenges Ill take a look and see if I can maybe do something with it.

[Masterbadeend]

I think it is in the book where it is, but I don't have it here. Maybe you can get a signal fire in there, it's the only thing in that hall with a window in it

[yams in a can]

I wanna see more ingame pics

[ttandchotmail]

I could be crazy but I thought the beam of light that fell on balins tomb came from a shaft that went 100's of metres through the mountain and exited near the top of the mountain somewhere. Much like the shafts they have found in the Eygyptian pyramids.
