This is maybe nice if you want to see the people and places but it was a super boring scenario.

Nevermind, for some reason the list was empty but restarting the game fixed it.

How do you actually play this? I don't see it in the scenarios list.

Thank you for your work

As nice as it is to see people commenting, I stopped work on this many years ago, check out that link below for updated versions (and hopefully all the old glitches and balancing worked out). Glad folks are still enjoying it though :D

Now here is the next version: https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2241533437

Thank you for your work.

I / you plan to continue and update this map!?

Maybe it was from my mod I created that was causing the issue. Not a big deal, just figured i'd bring it to your attention.

Yeah that's weird, as theoden was just in grass / normal terrain when i created it. And it certainly wasn't an orc city. Not sure how that would have been changed, but again... this was done many years ago.

Interesting idea, but King theoden was in blighted terrain and his city said it was an orc city. 2 major powers in harad and gondor were defeated in the first 15 turns. Could be a cool mod but it has quite a few bugs, and many balance issues.

Omg i just realised 5 years past. Time flies :/

Just need the one with hobbits, made this before the last expac came out. Was many years ago though, not sure if everything still works :)

Do we need DLC to play with this mod?

@Seferoth congratulations on being a jerk to people, anything more constructive you would like to add or are you just whining? ^^

Would like to play the map but unfortunately you need for the DLCs or?

Which DLC i need to play this mod?

Sir_Smokes_Alot How about learning to play the game instead of whining here.

love the consept of the game ,............... BUT .... about 40 turns into the game the enemy becomes unbetable , when i say this , there lowest army will bet my best army .. < 6 times in a row > ,,, really fcked up if you ask me . so im not playing this and giveing it a BIG !!! thumbs down

I tried installing this mod (not sure I did it properly) and now the game crashes on start up. Not sure what happened but how can I delete whatever I did? Bleh.

A poll will be launched to elect and rank the 20 best mods of AoW3 as of 2017. In order to shortlist the 20 mods, I opened a discussion here: https://steamproxy.com/app/226840/discussions/0/1473095965290519438/ Please share your favourite mods there. Please also comment on the mods already listed so that we can see which are the favourites to be in the shortlist.
Maps are not included but there is also a discussion to elect the best maps here: https://steamproxy.com/app/226840/discussions/0/133261370004062967/
So you can comment on that 2nd discussion to support the Middle Earth XL map. I however would like to point out that a version 3 (and before that a version 2) of that map has been done and is probably better than this one: http://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=433461636

Very nice ! Good job !

Why isnt ered luin dwarven?

Good, but mordor is too weak. When i played gondor i conquered them in 2-3 turns.

Thanks, Pyrcyvyl!

Alright found it when you start the game before putting in your password for your account update user content.

Same subscribed but can't find it in the game, have the expansions.

how do i use this i subscribed but cant find it in game

Just ifnished it for the first time, and i applaud you for the nice effort spent. Just a suggestion, you should rename one of the easternmost cities to Dale (either Azanzunibar Dum or Mithrand) and move it slightly to the west. Cheers

Thanks Nemesis

thank you

well done

Have you thought about using the extended settings mod and porting this map into that? That way you can have a truly titanic map.

I subscribe map first time and i don't know how to add this map. Can someone help me?

im not sure if you're into guild wars2 but i think it'd be awesome if you could do a map of tyria, with a strong hostile undead presence in orr and pirates in the sea of sorrows, you would have to get to arah to go underground and find the seal there? (this isnt a demand but a polite request, if you cant/wont, no worries) - reference map is here: https://guildwars2hu.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/2012_february_tyria_map.jpg (orr, the peninsula off the coast of the desert, as well as the big purple streak would have to be made of blight) - thanks :) - i look forward to playing the lord of the rings map as soon as i get a grips with this game XD

Nice map. Thanks for outting this together. I was working on a Middle-Earth map for Civ V that I might convert over to AoW3. I hope I don't encroach upon any other map makers' territory :\

ok good, just wanted to tel everyone what there missing. But your right, it wouldnt have been that good if you hadnt made the original map!

No offense taken, that's why I gave him (or her) permission to alter and add to it. I simply no longer had the time to invest in the map. I'd recommend everyone try that map out as this one is going to be much less balanced and interesting. They've really done a nice job improving it. That said, I'm still proud of the map I made, being a novice LoTR fan. I do get a kick out of the people that point out spelling errors and facts that are off... when I put that disclaimer right in the mod notes. Anyway, go download middle earth 2, or 3 if that's what they're working on now.

guys check out the middle earth2 map. No offence, Nemesis, but its way better:D

steam says this mod is the most top rated. going to try it.

I am very excited to try this.

AHHHH THE THING IS MISSPELLED OR FACTUALLY INCORRECT SADGFASDFGHL:KNH

where else can i download this map?
my steam isn't downloading it straight after launching the game

SPOKO MAPKA MASZ LIKE :)

Go for is Shaithias, I've more or less moved on from the editor, was fun while it lasted though. Thanks for all the great comments.

Great!!

I hope it's/will be as amazing as the War of the Ring scenario for AoW II. I spent at least a couple hundred hours on that.

Great work man!

Thank you for this map, also i would like to mention that i would like to see his modified version of this map on the workshop

Nemesis13, I have scripted a few events including smaoug and the ringwraiths and I am working on a quest for the one ring for both sides. I fixed the dol guldur entrance, and am working on adding spawns for the fellowship of the ring, with different members of the fellowship being controlled by all 4 good factions. (gimli is a beserker, frodo is a hobbit hero etc)

I buffed/nerfed mordor, the mordor defenses ie city defense, unpassable mountains, city specializations etc are much stronger to prevent gondor from having a chance to over run mordor. I also buffed gondor, by reworking the river and moving their units and turning their outpost into a city, but adding swamps so that their troops cant get to it first turn and moving the mordor king wraith into position for an easy grab so gondor is now stuck rushing to recap their burning city (which i made sure they can do) just to generate exceptionally large amounts of bad blood between gondor and mordor.
