Hello guys :)
UPDATE: VERSION 1.3 DOWNLOAD LINK: https://www.mediafire.com/?yi4cfcap9z4jjfr
Today I want to show you my brand new map : an ENTIRE ERIADOR map !! The concept is simple : it's a 1v1 multiplayer map, where one player controls Frodo and Sam and must quickly flee the Shire to anywhere he could find some help, while the other player controls Mordor with Nazguls and many other things and have to find Frodo and kill him. If Frodo dies, the game is over, Mordor wins. :P But if Frodo survives 40 minutes, he wins and the game is over too.
- When you controls Frodo, you have to explore the map and go wherever you want, and ALL THE HEROES that you can see on your way can join you, you only have to find how. Generally you have to go with Frodo right in front of them, but I let you try some other combinations :P Sometimes you can find simple soldiers, who will join you.
- When you control Mordor, you get an entire Mordor camp with many other buildings. You can explore the map too, and find reinforcements at some places, but much less than Frodo's side.
- Spellbooks of both sides have been adapted, so you can find powers adapted to the situations and places you are exploring. The system has been modified a bit too : you can't get power points by fighting. Now you get the points by exploring, by leveling-up heroes, or simply by time.

Will you follow the films and go to Bree, and Imladris ?
Will you try to find help in the West, to the Grey Havens or Ered Luin ?
Will you try to explore the old Arnor, and try to find the few Dunedain remaining ?
All these things, only YOU will have to decide! ;)
Here are some screenshots of some places of the map :

Here is the DOWNLOAD LINK of the version 1.3 : https://www.mediafire.com/?yi4cfcap9z4jjfr
Remember that it is a multiplayer map, so you can play vs AI, but don't expect a very good challenge [ugly] I heavily recommend you to play vs another human player.
I also recommend you to not play with ultra settings. Otherwise the game may crash.
I hope you will enjoy playing :D
Guys thank you very much for your feedback and for your compliments, that's very important for me :)
To everyone, did you test it in multiplayer or against AI ?
Really cool map !
Btw can you get Elrond and Glorfindel to come with you ? I've tried every power of Frodo/Sam/Gandalf/etc but they didn't give a damn about me xD
For Elrond, you have to go with Cirdan in front of him, or to have Arwen or Glorfindel at level 10.
For Glorfindel, you get him only if Strider AND Gandalf are dead.
For Cirdan, you have to go in front of him with Arwen.
For Bombadil, you have to go in front of him with Elrond :)
For Dwalin, you have to go in front of him with Gimli.
In the next version, I will
- remove the Werewolves from Angmar camp
- increase a little bit Hobbits' health (including Frodo)
- remove the Dragon from the goblin camp (too OP if Mordor player can get him)
- remove a few goblins lairs
- increase a little bit the health of good side heroes
- remove the level 10 Sauron at the beginning of the game for Mordor player (Nazgul level 10 are too OP at the start of the game). Or maybe just put Sauron at level 5 only.
- Allow the good side player to gain money, but only from killing lairs, and finding treasures.
- maybe remove some XP objects, but not too much, I like them :D
I think I will keep the Balrog with no time limit, it is more fun in my opinion ^^ And Frodo just has to not approach him too much :P
Though if there is one thing I could ask for this map, it would be so that Frodo Putting on the Ring actually makes the RingWraiths know where he is. That would be cool.
That would be cool indeed, but putting the ring is sometimes the only way for Frodo to escape, if Nazguls see him when he puts the ring on, that would be just impossible for Frodo to win the game, and the ability would become useless. ^^
Did you find Bill Ferny in Bree ? If you get him, you can use his ability to see the nearest ennemy hero, it is very useful in this map :D
Seems like a great map, I'll give it a try. ;)
Yeaaah, it's an honour for me :)
Finally, I have a few questions for you all :
1. Did you find instinctive the discovery of heroes that we can "recruit" ? I mean, did you recruit Strider, Gandalf, Arwen, Legolas, Elrond, Dwalin and Cirdan easily ?
2. Did you find cool and fun the way we gain spellbook powers ?
3. Do you think it would be necessary to have some explanations at the beginning of the game ?
4. More a technical question, but I would love to add dialogues when Frodo meets other heroes, but the problem is that dialogues appears on the screens of BOTH players. Do you know if it's possible to add dialogues for only one player ?
5. Oh and do you know if it is possible to change the music without script them ? I mean just changing the musics of the Dwarves faction with the music of Imladris faction for example ? :) It would be more accurate.
6. Is Old Bilbo still in worldbuilder ? I can't find him and I would love to put him in the map.
Thanks :)
