Top notch stuff. How playable are these maps? Will they be functional skirmish maps or eye candy?

All maps are designed with that question, however if there are specified and siege maps and other maps to explore.

and also depends on the player creativity

 

in Dol Guldur, half fortress, is a labyrinth illusion has the same system of old map in the back is where you will create the camp. 

forest and the besiegers

 

 

 

 

In Rhudaur, mountains are lateral, if you want as a player play  skirmish or explore the mountain tomb.

could you post some more ingame shots of some of the maps if you get a chance?

[Nazgûl]

Amazing scenery... 

[-SilverBane-]

Yes those maps look awesome!

[Lanoxy]

Hey, these cards can also play somewhere?

[NetoD20]

Awesome stuff!

So, I have downloaded some of these great maps of yours in this link: http://www.moddb.com...-ii/addons/maps

But where do I get the others (Rhudaur, Rivendell etc.)? Have you released them yet?

Also, from the maps that I already have, Minas Tirith and Helm's Deep won't appear on Skirmish, what do I do?

[ThorinOakenshield2]

Have you finished these maps becase they are really awesome and if you have, can you post a link to them?

[Tacalmo]

AWESOME!!!! I'm a mapper to, but... HOW DO YOU MAKE A CAVE YOU CAN GO INSIDE????? I keep having to build mountains around instead of on top....

[Dark Lord]

good morning

 

Greetings all, well, first, I could not, finish as many maps, or continue with other things. for personal reasons and work, if I say, that I'll end time to take me

 

 

Examples

The Black Gates of Mordor

The texture change and Two strengths in every mountain, that protect the same black gates of Mordor were created

 

 

 

Cirith ungol

 

I also suffered changes

 

 

 

 

 

 

Several maps, always modifies although at first I thought that was over.

 

Fornost

 

Fornost is more extensive change and as an imperial city

 

 

 

Rivendell

 

Rivendell Valley was finished, but I lack the entrance of the canyon where the dwarves and ganfalf out in the hobbit

 

 

 

But if they have to know they are far and not only that also change the campaigns BFME 2 and expancion, in order to make them more entertaining.

 

 

Examples

 

The Blue Mountain Campaign

 

Ruins Fornost Siege

 

 

soon I will try to give news about the progress and outstanding work

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

I only just saw the stuff from august... holy mother... 

[njm1983]

Rivendell impresses me the most, that and rhudaur. They have the cleanest and most complete look about them.

 

While I like Fornost, I never liked EA's design. its neat but feels wrong and very alien to the designs we see in gondor, or as esablished architectural themes coming out of numenor. I firmly believe we would see rounded walls in the design, that and Fornost was a fortress first and capitol city later. Looking at all the designs, Minas Trith, Isengard, Minas morgul, Helms Deep: they all have rounded or curved walls. Fornost is a big rectangle. which is contrary to all the designed fortresses of numenorian decent. Places like cirith ungol and the black gate were built after the war of the last alliance and are different as a result.

 

Many of the best drawn fan designs share rounded or curved walls, look at pelargir, and Umbar and even ruins of osgiliath.

I... Can not call my self a mapper anymore....

[Jovem.Neto]

As many people have said before me, these are all outstanding works.

1.I would ask you to put as many player slots in these maps as possible.

4 at a minimum, if possible. That is because is hard to find people to play with, and the Brutal armies aren't as challenging besieging fortresses as I'd wish. So I personally believe that fortresses in RotWK game should play against as many armies as possible for the experience to be real fun.

 

2.Also, I've seen in previous pages of these topics that you make these maps for heavy mods like Edain and RJ. And I have learned that Edain 4.0 mod demo version is

 to be released in the first quarter of 2015, and it will now use a build plot and fortified camp system analogous to that of the Battle for Middle-Earth I style of play. So the problem is, would it be possible to adapt your maps (or any other map, for that matter) to Edain 4? If so, would you be willing to make this adaptation? Of course, it would be completely understandable if you wouldn't, after all you are already going through all the work of finishing these wonderful maps. I don't understand anything of map-making as of now, and I also to do not intent on becoming a map maker, but I would be glad to only adapt maps to Edain 4.0 if that would be a possible task.

 

3.In previous pages of this post I saw your pictures of the amazing map of Erebor, so is it possible to effectively put and use archers and catapults atop gate's balconies against invaders? I ask this because I've seen a map of Erebor trying to mimic the film's fortress-city (not as amazing as yours), and when I tried to put catapults atop the gate the projectiles fired couldn't hit the enemy outside, they just rebounded, damaging the own catapult and the my archers. That happened because, apparently, the balconies created weren't large enough to let the projectiles pass. So are the balconies atop the gate spacious enough in your Erebor map?

 

Thank you very much for all your efforts in this project, you do a really amazing work, my friend ^__^

[GhostOfDurin]

Rivendell and Dol Guldur impress me the most. Whie, like njm said, that your Fornost is good, I don't like the EA interpretation. The terrain looks too flat and the city looks too bland in shape.Maybe try some round parts and more terrain variation?

[ThorinOakenshield2]

I like this version of Fornost without round walls. As for the other maps I like Rhudaur, Dol Guldur and Erebor the most.
