Good news!

Freeedy actually answered the PM, and hes uploading the files. He tried to upload it to ModDB but isnt approvedyet, so im looking into it.

PS: I really like the 2d version more too. XD

[magickoala]

So Freeedy was kind to send us the whole pack of maps he had from Minas Tirith, and happly, the Beta 2 is there! :p

Would be great if we could give him the proper credits in the map pack for sharing it. He seemed happy to share it with Edain^^

Looking at that picture I would really recommend you guys to update the textures outside of the city, and make the harbor look more like a harbor . Those few buildings and that single-used texture does not fit with the quality of the city itself. Other than that the city looks amazing.

Is it impossible to make Dol Guldur's catwalks walkable?

[hoho96]

What exactly are the catwalks? The decorative bridges between pillars?
No it's not possible. They're just, well, decorative 

[NetoD20]

(DolGuldurCatwalk and DolGuldurCatwalk2 are the names of these objects in Worldbuilder, used for practicity)
That is a sad thing indeed, what about replacing them with evil bridges (mean eyes not included lol) that can actually be walked upon? It would make this Dol Guldur map incredibly unique.

[hoho96]

I never really notice the name of most objects 
I might experiment with a couple of things in the future, but the thing is, i like to keep all texture's themes consistent, and most bridges are an obvious contrast to dolguldur's rusty iron theme :/

What i find more interesting is to develop the Rune side of the fortress even more. Maybe add a couple more buildings, maybe add it to the standard buildplot. Who knows

[NetoD20]

Rune?
You mean ruin, right?
I don't know, I'll search for bridges in the Worldbuilder, see if there's still hope.

[hoho96]

Rune means Rhûn. typo 
If you haven't noticed they're one of the most prominent features of the map

[NetoD20]

OH! You mean the guys from Rhûn? The Easterlings? On yes, interesting.
I don't know from lore, but Dol Guldur being controled by Khamûl it was the perfect launch point for Sauron's campaign against the north. Makes sense for the place to have easterling features.

Love the maps released in the pack thus far, any word on Minas Tirith? I've been wanting a 7 leveled Minas Tirith since I first played BFME1

[hoho96]

Glad you like it
Dr. House is working on the map relentlessly, and I'm very confident with the results ^^

Btw since you're our trusted tester, did you encounter any wired bugs with the AI on any map? A couple of people on moddb has reported  (in a terrible language) that ai won't, or at least that's how i understood it.

Personally all the maps are working properly in single and multi player.

Sorry, I haven't played any of the maps against AI, only against people. I also haven't played them all that much, I have been busy with Fallout 4 and Christmas.
