For the the thingies sticking out of the Rings of Minas Morgul, why not use the ones on TDH or KotW
They're thinner and longer and taller too

The one next to the gate

[njm1983]

Well its nice, but the simple answer is that it isnt ours to have.

[Sauron-the-Deciever]

Well, maybe ask and give credit like what other mods do?

Here is a picture of Gundabad. From the unused Gundabad scenario from RotWK campaign. There is a large section that is hidden to the player, possibly could of been used as a 'fighting ring'. But I have attempted an actual Mount Gundabad inside the hole and opened it up to the mountainous landscape outside.

I will have to be changing the map lighting

[njm1983]

I like where this is going. Looking forward to more.

[Sauron-the-Deciever]

Okay, MTL what do you think of what I was saying above here?

[MattTheLegoman]

Just stay your horses.The Minas Morgul map from The Dwarf Holds is a massive inspiration for this map. I would prefer their map to stay BFMEI. I do love their gate texture, however.

The boat-like towers have been sorted out!
Here's an image.

P.S. Guess what is growing near the gate.

Good job, but it would be better if someone could skin it to remove the metal part at the middle

[MattTheLegoman]

Well I actually get the height I want by putting two on top of each other. And then the angle by aligning to the terrain.

what's growing near the gate?

[Mordor Slayer]

Weren't there growing flowers with the smell of corpses near Minas Morgul?

[MattTheLegoman]

Yep, I will be calling it the Morgul Vale Orchid, I totally have an orchid expert helping me design the new flower.

[Gollum]

Wow dude awesome with the amount of detail you're putting in

[MattTheLegoman]

Well, Minas Morgul Macro is my pet map, and as it is not going to be the right sort for Special Extended Edition, but I am considering doing some work on the original Minas Morgul map for SEE. (By the way I even have just painted up a 400 point LotR Minas Ithil miniature army, which has been taking my computer design time.)
Here's a long awaited update on Barad-dur.

P.S. Any ideas for the bridge (Its sort of the last big thing I need to design for this map.)

I saw all your maps , I mus say , it's really insane ! The amount of details you put in them is truely astonishing !

For Gundabad , I like the idea you took as a basis the wallpaper from War in the North . I even recognize your Gundabad map without seeing you was inspired by the game .

Minas Morgul is perfect , you have put a lot of attention into it .

Barad Dûr is coming along nicely , very close to the movies . It's not easy IMO .


The rest of your maps , with the help of NJM , are masterpieces !

Fot the bridge , I know in the movie it's pretty narrow , but for gameplay sake , could you make it a bit wider ? Or perhaps , if you have time , try to do it more longer . It's just my idea though .

[njm1983]

Wow! That looks really nice. Really really nice. What do you need help with on the bridge?

[MattTheLegoman]

A design that looks like the real Barad-dur bridge, I don't think that you got that part right either.

Something like this Movie Screen:

[Gollum]

Yeah I'd go with the actual movie version I think it will make it trickier. I mean it is the dark lords fortress right? You shouldn't be able to just walk right up to the front do easily! And I EVERY other map that has a bridge that leads to a fortress has this big huge bridge that 20 million units can fit on and thats a tough time for your archers and tribs to take care of and pick the targets you really want out. I vote skinny bridge with limited access!
