This is my first map conversion for the Edain 4.0:

This map was originally made formerly for BFME 2, and later for ROTWK by Azrapse. I found it on internet, and I liked it so much, becoming one of my favourites map due to the special feature of controlling strategic places. Of course, in the 3.81 version, this was not implemented at its best, but with the 4.0 game mechanics, it's all another story!
Now let's go down into the details!
FEATURES:
- The map is a 8 player, each with a Camp. It can be played 4 North vs 4 South, 4 West vs 4 East, 2v2v2v2, or even 1v1v1v1, each one on his side
- The northern quadrants are smaller than the southern ones. To compensate that, they have one more settlement and in general they're closer to the main camps
- There are three total outposts in the map. One of them, if owned by a player, will grant the access to the Bridge of the Erui in the West shore. Here the player has a wall, a gate, two Battle Towers with Fire Arrows, a Well, two Statues and a BFME2 Outpost. This bridge is also the only way to go to the northwestern area to the southwestern one, and vice versa
- Conquering the settlement and building respectively the Gondor Beacon, the Cirith Ungol Barracks, the Rohan Gathering Bell, the Dunland Clan Hut or the Dwarven Mineshaft will grant the access to the Emyn Arnen. The city is protected by a BFME2 Men Gate in the northern exit, and by a BFME2 Men Wall, with Towers and Trebuchets, on the southern exit
- You have approximately 3 minutes to conquer those places before effectively owning them. You can also steal them from other players later, but it will be much more hard
- There are approximately 4-5 waves of Corsairs of Umbar spawning regurarly. They have two Battle Ships, a Bombard Ship and a Transport Ship. The former three ships can attack any of the four quadrants. The Transport Ship, if reaches the shores, will make six batallions of Corsairs of Umbar land. They will attack just the southern quadrants
Hope you like it as I did. Happy Edaining^^
