I have a question and a statement.

In my personal opinion, my LOTR maps suck, period. this is mainly because of my lack of ability to use modpacks. In general however, my LOTR maps in my opinion suck because they were the fisrt two maps i made. I know of many who are working on a mod and scenario for LOTR, one that I may very well end up being a part of. The problem is that many people like myself are somewhat mod-unfreindly. I myself can only use modsfor other people's maps, not for my own.

My question is: Now that I have much more experience in mapmaking and design, should I remake my LOTR maps to be much more specific and better maps and allow those who do not know how to use mods to play it, or should i just leave it to the modders who should be able to make a good map?

Well, Private Byrne has a nice Giga map of Middle Earth, which is both aesthtically pleasing and would save u time. But if u do wanna make ur own, I say go 4 it...

I would use that giant map. as nice as hagburts map is, its just a little too small.

Well make it if you want to, but with the new mod comming im not sure as many people would show interest.

would you?

I dont even know how to add mods so that they work no my maps i make.

If you want to make it, make it. It doesn't matter too much if people would be interested in it or not. But remember - the more, the merrier.

in what way? I definetly dont think that we should have 50 ww2 europe maps.

Alright, :hmm:

Honestly, I don't think there'll ever be 50 WWII maps, let alone 50 Middle Earth maps. And if you call them an update or version 2.0 or something like that, it then becomes a new version of your old map, not a new map. Just my take on it anyway.

Id check if the map size ur about to make allready exists. If not, then make a map! We should have as many diffrent sized ME maps as possible!

I already have a giant map ready, its very good and by far the best mE map i have seen.

you nkow what, I think im just going to help with the current group with the mod, its not like anyone would play my map anyway :(
