LoTR

i tried making a Helms Deep Map, but the AI always place the artillery on places block by the mountain... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/mecry.gif
so i guess it is gonna be hard to build LOTR on this engine
i heard ROME will had seige weapon and ladders, i think that would really make storming the KEEP fun http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
i am gonna try the map out http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
Where do I put these after I DL them to play them?
into your C:\...Totalwar\savemaps directory
or
C:\...Totalwar\Battle\Maps directory
the seccond one is the preffered of the two
Sounds great, thanks for the maps. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
Greetings akinkhoo and welcome. Now you can look at the mod and see how it was done.
Thanks for the info and the maps. I have been thinking about these battles on computer for last.....what, 12-15 years? Did anyone else ever play the old, OLD (like 1990) game Universal Military Simulator? I made alot of LoTR games/maps for that. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
The maps sound great, but I can't get the link to work. Could you update or someone point me in the right direction?
Thx
Really nice, thx Alrowan http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
well i think the link has changed due to the files area change..
Greetings and welcome, Maedhros. You're waiting for the Silmarillion map pack, aren't you? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
Yeah, the link doesn't work. Can we please update it?
ill try find out where the new link is.. silly downloads have all moved.
as for silmarillion map pack... ill look into it... might be tough, but worth it
I don't doubt for a minute it would be worth it. Tumhalad could be a cool dynamic. Mobility hindered by having rivers on three sides, a forced frontal fight....
What I really wanted was for them to The Silmarillion as the next Total War game. But Rome looks good, if they skip the add on pack and go straight to it, perhaps by a year after the release of Return of the King.
Better choice than the Ring War referenced in the pole. Battles were much bigger and grander. I would love to see the morale message that comes up when a dozen balrogs lead legions of orcs to battle, and just as it gets real ugly, Ancalagon or one of his brood sweeping down with flames curling.
Might make Naptha throwers look like so much flotsam.
aahhh the glory that could be....
