Helms Deep v1.2 edited by Trebor797
Hi guys. This is an edited version of a Helms Deep map from the workshop https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=756194045&searchtext=helms+deep. It is not created by me so all credits go to the original author. What I changed is that it is now possible to play sieges on that map with up to 4 attackers. Before there was a limit of 3 else the game crashed when trying to play with more. So now you should be able to defend against bigger orc hordes than before 😉 .
After playing on that map a bit I can give you some tips: AI sometimes does not attack with all troops. A way I found to fix it is dont to have any hidden unit… So if you plan to send in some Rohan cavalry, make sure that it keeps ouside of forest at start… After starting feel free to hide your units anywhere… Another bug I found is that the bodyguard or other units are bugging under the castle (they are only deployed that way, it dont happen in the battle) so my advise is to whatch that u deployed every unit somewhere. On the map are different towers and the person who has control over them can give them buffs or switch the weapon type. If you dont like playing with towers burn them down as defender after the game started so they will be destroyed. For multiplayer battles I would recommend to burn down the cannon tower anyways when they start losing first layer, because the cannons start shooting at your wall causing horrible damage. If you play against AI you can just switch it to gatlings as AI wont change weapon on itself. When fighting AI I further recommend not blindly to send in the cavalry from the side as it often bug on one side of the way down which will make it nearly stuck and defnitly reducing the power of a good Rohirrim charge. If you want AI attacking over the ramp I recommend to burn down the gate there, should make them send some units over that way. (Heroes on the ramp make your battle look pretty cool afterwards when they hold up the masses 😉 ). At last I only can say that the map often make units bugging and not following commands… Sometimes the best way as defender to retreat to the other layers is climbing up the walls. Also take care of the 2nd layer as troops can climb up there immediatly.
I hope you enjoy the map like I did and I wish you much fun in stopping the orc armies!
If you should have any questions feel free to ask me, but remind I only set up deployment areas for more player so dont expect me to have a solution for everything 😉 .
