Dear fellow players,
a long time ago I began working on a rather simple Helm's Deep map for 2 versus 3 players. Then I forgot about it for 3 years, although it was almost finished.
But I did it! The map is ready to go and ready for testing. I am just putting the map here for anyone who is interested in it. Feel free to give feedback or report on issues you had playing.
Features:
The map is your usual Helm's Deep map with a bit of a twist. Instead of the fortress you will find a gate leading into the mountains, where the start and building slots for the defenders are located. While the usual Helm's Deep maps have very little room for retreat, this map is centered around a long and dragged out defense. Every single part of the fortress is seperated from the adjacent ones by gates, which shall slow the hordes of evil down, until the final battle is fought inside of the mountain itself.

Known Bugs:
- The movement regarding the fortress and its walls can be weird at times. Sadly I can't do much against it, since it is a matter of pixel coordination in placing the tiles.
- The building slots of the fortress players will vanish if they don't immediately build a building on at least one of them. [FIXED]
AI [non]compatibility:
Having the map tested with AI now, there are quite a few issues: First the AI is unable to use the fortress's building slots, which makes them not a good defender. Second the AI has no idea how to attack the fortress, hence the are just grouping in front of the walls and occasionally attack your archers with catapults. For some reason the Imladris AI doesn't seem to work at all.
I would suggest playing this map completely without AI.
Installation:

May Helm Hammerhand's horn be heard throughout the mark!
