Ok, you totally have my attention, now  :o

It feels so Hobbit-ish and just right!
I don't know about other people, but I personally prefer the Hobbit's rendition of Rivendell than the LOTR's.
I think the Holy Valley/Sanctuary theme was interpreted better in those films, rather than the previous ones.

Anyway, great work indeed  :)

Thank you very much, and yeah i agree with you the design of rivendell in the hobbit was alot better designed and fleshed out, but i have added a few areas into the map from LOTR such as the garden where Aragorns mum is buired and where Aragorn and Arwen kiss in the film. :)

DieWalküre is right - the Hobbit movies definitely interpreted Rivendell better than the LOTR, imo.
About the map, it looks nice and promising, and it really is nice to see the places added in AUJ in this map. Keep up the good work.  :)

Holy Valar! This is utterly awesome!

Compliments really, it totally catches Rivendell's theme, both LOTR's and Hobbit's! Really really cool!

So it is a 3 players map, are those castles or camps ?

If your Imladris map is the same that Mirkwood Realms I'm gonna love it. I'm gonna wait that you post more pictures about Imladris but for now I can tell I like your future map

Thank you for the great map. But for me, it was too easy to play against a brutal k1 inside of mirkwoods castle. Id love a more challenging map as a defender of the realm :)

This map from Imladrils looks great right now, totally looking forward for its release. Thank you for doing this!!

Absolutely beautiful. I've never been satisfied with the base Rivendell map, and this one perfectly replicates its beauty in-game. Well done!

Now I just need this map and the Imladris faction and I'll be one happy camper. Can't wait for it to be released!

The map looks good. Though the cliffs and the ground near water need more work imo.
But everything else looks great.  :)

What about special units for the attackers and special buildings outside of the castle?

That would give the attacking player a boost and challenge the player inside a little bit more!

Good work on the map  ;)
You could also upload it on ECC (http://www.moddb.com/groups/edain-community-content/addons) for wider reach  xD

The map is pretty good, but after loading up an already started Skirmish save-file, I encountered a bad bug: it was like there were invisible obstacles in the path from getting to the last door before exiting Rivendell and here and there all around the city.
So... it was impossible for the units to freely move around, or to get outside the city.
Same for the enemy: he wasn't able to get inside from the main gate.

Lastly, Elrond is invisible, at least in my map.

It's pretty hard for me to give the idea of the first bug with screenshots, so I hope you'll sort out the problem.

PATH BUG
(You can see how the map is not letting me move the selected units where the other units are.)

I have no clue about the Path bug, it may just be an issue with the save file as for elrond I made him the imladris Elrond who doesn't have a model yet but I can change that to the Vanilla Elrond.
