Fredius War of the Ring Mission Maps

<< < (24/27) > >>

Fredius:
Fair point, I thought Dol Guldur fell before the Battle of the Black Gate, but just looked it up and the siege began 3 days after Sauron was destroyed. I will think about this when making the map, because I believe missions like these need an "antagonist" to spice it up, and Khamul is the perfect candidate for that. I might overlook the lore a tiny little bit in this aspect, since the entertainment factor is paramount in my maps :P.

Walküre:
Of course, entertainment is well entitled to be put at the centre of all, if that is really the primary purpose of these scenarios.

Therefore, in this case, I think it's much desirable that the clash between Khamûl and Galadriel be one of the prominent aspects of the battle. I thus suggest the whole context be polarised at an extreme extent: Magic vs Magic. The fouler the magical defences of the fortress, the mightier the spells which will tear the walls down  8-)

Fredius:
It will be a bit difficult to achieve though, since Khamul uses melee attacks and not magic attacks like Galadriel. But I will see what I can do.

Fredius:
Small preview of the second chapter of the Resurrection of Angmar series; the siege of Weathertop. Unfortunately, I will have to wait for the Misty Mountains to be released first before I can publish this map, because I will need some units from that faction:

P.S. this is a little story I had in mind while making this ending:


--- Zitat ---Imagine being a hillman from Rhudaur, living in poverty within a small hut in the hills all your life. You constantly hear stories from the elders about the glorious days, where they served under the Witch-King of Angmar, and lived a life full of happines and glory. But now, all of that is gone; you barely survive the winters, and you keep losing valuable family members and friends to the Dunedain. Your heart darkens, and revenge consumes you...

But then a mysterious man appears, bearing the banner of the Great Eye, and calling himself Vaztumir. This Black Numenorean promises to restore the might of the kingdom your people once served, and to bring justice to the people that put you in this misery. You suddenly begin to feel hope, and without further ado you joined this mysterious man in his noble cause. His army starts to grow; not just with Men, but with Orcs and Trolls as well. You managed to survive a great amount of skirmishes against the Dunedain, and in that process you lost some of your best friends. And now, you finally reach the old ruïns of Amon Sul; Weathertop.

After slaying countless of enemies by your own hands, fighting side by side with Lord Vaztumir, you finally succeeded in conquering this ruïned fortress. You listen to Lord Vaztumir's speech, and his words give voice to what you have felt all your life; grief and anger. You hear your comrades cheer, and in a sudden burst of frustrations and emotions you start to cheer and cry with them. A bright future finally lays in front of you...
--- Ende Zitat ---

Fredius:
Some previews of my Dol Guldur map. The map lay-out is more or less finished, the only thing that's left is the scripting the siege :).
