DrHouse93's Map Pack

[DrHouse93]

OH MY GODS YES! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

It's amazing to see my beauty here again^^
Thank you, thank you again^^

[Finrod_(Felagund)]

Are you still working on this?

[DrHouse93]

Globally yes. At the moment nope

[Finrod_(Felagund)]

How goes progress on the map?

[DrHouse93]

Actually stuck. It seems there is some sort of Evil Force, which makes the most stupid bugs to appear in my maps, therefore preventing me to release them. In this case, the AI is so intelligent that actually decides each time what buildings will be built on settlements and outposts. Of course, this is happening for the inside player, leaving no choice to him of what to build on conquered settlements

Greetings, companions of the Edain!

Today I'd wish to show you the map on which I'm working on. I've always thought Gondor has quite few territories and cities, despite being a great realm, where you can fight on. Furthermore, most of its maps are facing its northern and eastern borders. So that's why I want to make some maps related to Gondor, which show the heart of the kingdom: the southern territories. This is a first concept to the southern Gondor city of Linhir:

"Linhir was a town in southern Gondor, at the juncture of the River Gilrain and the River Serni, north of the Mouths of Anduin. Through it passed the road from Pelargir to Ethring.

Angbor, the Lord of Lamedon, was here attacked by the Haradrim and Corsairs during the War of the Ring. On 11 March T.A. 3019, Aragorn and the Grey Company arrived at the town (with, of course, the Army of the Dead). Terror came upon their assailants and they fled. The Men of Lamedon fled as well; all save the stout-hearted Angbor. Eventually the Corsairs were driven back to Pelargir, where they were defeated" - Tolkiengateway

Awesome dude! In my earlier days I also made a Linhir map for BMFE1 with the exact same concept in mind . Here are some screens for reference:

I expect yours to be far greater ofcourse .

[DrHouse93]

Actually, yours it's really cool^^
A little small, maybe, but for the standards of BFME I it's pretty nice
I wonder what kind of walls you used, and if they still are in the worldbuilder...

[LordDainIronfoot]

I must say that I really enjoy the idea of expanding the Gondor Maps with the Southern Fiefdoms,considering that there were quite few battle during LOTR and quite a lot of Reinfrocments wre send from there to aid Minas Tirith!

About the Fortress City in particular,I love the look on your Concept as well as Fredius earlier vesrions it does look like a Solid Fortress cneter of a Fiefdom and as a fun Map to play on!

I think it will be nice touch if it somehow possible to add a Hero as Lord Angbor which could be available if you play Gondor!

Greetings!

I wonder what kind of walls you used, and if they still are in the worldbuilder...

The map was actually for the mod I previously worked for a long time ago; Return of Shadow it's called. The mod had some extra mapping props, including these kind of walls.

[DrHouse93]

Yea, I know that mod. I played it few times. That's a pity, though. Those walls look really nice (since Gondor has the little problem of having no straight walls, but apparently just circular ones)

[Fredius]

They are actually the circular ones, only reskinned, but I positioned them in a way that they look straight. It's a ton of work but the result is worth it .

Map updated to Edain 4.2.1
Happy Edaining^^

[DrHouse93]

Greetings, companions of the Edain!

Today, I'm happy to show you my newest creation, based on the original map from BFME 2 and an original idea by myself:

THE RIVER CELEBRANT

"The Silverlode (Celebrant in Sindarin) is a stream rising in the eastern Misty Mountains from the Mirrormere in the Dimrill Dale, which forms the southern and western borders of Lothlorien. Only the power of Sauron could breach it"

While at first this map looks anything but special, I wanted to represent the magic of the Elven Ring Nenya protecting Lothlorien, and keeping out intruders from the realm. So, if you want to cross the river, you'll have to use a great power to break the spell







KNOWN ISSUES:
- The defender Lothlorien shouldn't be able to build Ents until the attacker hasn't breached the borders. However, for some reason, it's still able to do that
- The destroyer of the Free People is indestructible until the borders of Lothlorien are breached. I'm trying to figure out how to restore the old ring system of BFME 2 (you can recruit a predefined ringhero if you bring the Ring to the citadel)

Enjoy crushing those puny elves!
