Middle Earth XL
Extra large map of Middle Earth.
Expansion Required (Middle Earth needs Hobits),
———————————————
8 Playable Factions:
Gondor, Rohan, Elf, Dwarf, Mordor, Harad, Gundabad, and Misty Mountain Goblins.
Many minor factions, including: Hobiton, Bree, Mirkwood Elves, Rhun, Isengard, etc.
3 seperate underground areas inlude: Goblin Town / Dwarf ruins, tombs beneath Dul Guldur, and spider cave through Mordor’s mountains (ie the path that Frodo took in the movies).
———————————————
>You may get a quest offer from a town quite a ways away. You can’t view the quest unless you physically make contact with the faction. Ride over to the city, double click on the capitol, and click the option about the quest. I tested it on two different factions and was able to do some quests.
>I’m aware that the rivers on the map are relatively over sized, it’s due to the water mechanic in game, as they don’t have any smaller stream options.
>Mana is hard to come by (for a reason), as the LoTR universe isn’t big on magic. I’ve placed some around the map, to be a valued resource. Gold should also be tough to come by, especially at first, as factions should struggle a bit to field massive armies.
***Please Read***
First, I haven’t had time to do any significant tests with the map. I plan on working on it / playing it more in the coming weeks.
Second, I’m by no means a Tolkien expert, so please forgive spelling errors, name errors, placement errors, scale errors, etc. I took what I could from maps and filled in the rest to avoid an empty landscape. I’m simply a fan of the books and movies and wanted to create a fun map that represented the universe.
Feel free to leave constructive tips or improvements, but please read the above statement when it comes to factual errors.
I used Total War Third Age Mod as inspiration, as well helping with leader names and town names. If you haven’t played the Total War conversion, I suggest you do. It is incredible.
