This is the concept i came up with for a fortress map for Cair Andros, anyone have any ideas or totally dis-agree and if you don't understand it I'lll explain it if needed. So can You'll understand this ?

Look pretty good.

 

3 player I assume.... so defender is attacked on 2 sides.

 

What will you use for the square sections of walls? Cirith ungol walls?

Also, is this is before it was ruined?

[Rider of Rohan]

@ MTL Yes this is Cair Andros before the Seige so it's going to be before it was ruined.

@ Njm Thanks it's 3 Player, Each Bridge has a Gate so Cirith Ungol might not work for the 1st Level, I was thinking of doing it for the 2nd level though. I'll re-skin it to it the Gondorian Theme better (make it a bit more brighter and neat). Are there any other straight Wall I could use that are walk-able? Or should I make my own ?

As far as I know you will need to make your own....

 

Lore wise Im not sure that the whole Isle was inhabited like that. I know at one point the island was fortified, however Cair Andros is a large 10 mile long island, with a forest. I could see a fort of some sort upon the higher point of the Isle sort of overlooking the landscape, but there really shouldnt be a city, bridges are fine, a military dock works if its close to the fortress.

 

google Island castles for ideas on what i think works.... also look at cair andros the dawnless day a map made by a member here.

Alright, I'll do some more research before I begin then, to get a better picture in my head, didn't know Cair Andros was around 10 miles.

Yes, that's in the RJ mod. And good idea, RoR.
