This is the scenario I said I would release months ago, sorry it took so long but there where many problems that had to be sorted.

I would like to thank the creators of all the units I have used without asking their permission, or even bothering to remember their names.

This is C3C scenario only.
The map I used is the giga map of middle earth posted in the map section. The map size is 362 by 362.

Heres a Pic.

You may choose to be one of four civs:

Gondor
Rohan
Isengard
Mordor

There are 12 more unplayable civs which include

The Harad
The Lonely Mountain
Umbar
Rhun
Dale

Playing as Gondor:

The object of this scenario is to safely guide Frodo (Thermo Nuclear Weapon) to Mount doom (Minimum firing distance) and drop the ring into the crack of doom ( bombard Barad-dur and kill the Sauron King unit) Thus destroying the power of the dark forces of mordor.

Note: Some boats have been provided to help the fellowship sail down the Anduin to the falls of Rauros.

To survive the onslaught of Mordor You will have Take Aragorn, legolas and Gimli through the pass of the dead in order for you too wake the army of the dead and bring them to the City of Minas Tirith. From there you fight off the forces of Mordor and chase them to the Black Gate where you will fight the final Battle of the third age.

Note: Gimli is able to build roads enabling you to gain access of the dead warriors trapped in the White Mountains.

Playing as the other players:

Destroy your enemies.

OK, this scenario isn’t working as well as I‘d wanted it to be but if I don’t release it now I probably never will. So I would appreciate any helpful hints.

Here are all the files, you will also need to download kinboats Balrog and Black Dragon these units where far too big too add here. When installing, just stick the first file in the scenarios section and the other files are just units that you can put in the unit folder of this scenario.

This is Black dragon. When downloading, make sure you put the dragon’s sounds into the unit folder.

P.S. Sorry there so many downloads

Great scenerio! :goodjob:
but wrong forum ;)
Now for some constructive criticism:

-why not make aragorn king unit of gondor instead of denethor? but i guess it would be most reasonable making frodo the king unit.
-spelling (Elrond, Cirith Ungol, Gamgee, Peppin...)
-minas tirith fell, and did so quite too quickly. perhaps dont start the war with mordor so early, gandalf was still very far away when the "siege" began
-i didnt manage to get frodo past minas morgul, the road was always blocked. make perhaps two parallel routes close to each other through the mountains.
-the olog-hai doesnt look like an orc at all. just name it "Troll" or something
-black or white as gondor's civ colors would be more appropriate i guess
-olog-hai, cave troll and undead units lack sound

this scenario is definately worth working on leadheads, civilopedia etc!


btw, i needed to put some unit data form the WH-mod into your units folder. these were the folders:
-Balrog
-Dragon Sounds
-Dragon Black, renamed the folder and the ini to "Black Dragon"

i attached these:
edit: didnt work.

"olog-hai" were trolls weren't they?

oh yes they were. im sorry.
encyclopedia of arda:
"A race of trolls bred by Sauron in the later years of the Third Age, seen among the trees of southern Mirkwood, and the mountain borders of Mordor. They were superior to other trolls in almost every way: stronger and more powerful, but also showing greater intelligence and skill. Many of their abilities they owed to being under the direct will of their master, Sauron, and while under his control they could exist in direct sunlight, unlike others of their kind.

In the battle before the Gates of Mordor, Aragorn and the Captains of the West encountered a company of large trolls, identified as 'hill-trolls out of Gorgoroth'1. That battle took place in sunlight, and so it seems to follow that the hill-trolls must have been Olog-hai. They are described as being taller than a man, and covered in horny scales, carrying hammers and bucklers in their claws, though there is no way of knowing whether this description applies to all of the Olog-hai, or just to those in the battle. "

Thank for all the Input, I know this isn't much of a Mod but I thought that there was too much to download for a scenario. I didn't include the balrog or the Black dragon because they where so big, I did explain this above but I guess not very well.

Thanks for the comments on the spelling mistakes and the way the game plays. I will try and fix but I,m Not quite sure how to do it. As for some of the units lacking sound, well Ididn,t make them and so there not much I can do there.

P.S. What about speed is it slow when it plays.

the speed is relatively slow, comparable to world 2003 but acceptable. this is bc of the map size. however i dont see a possibility on speeding it up if not by using a smaller map.

Bloody good idea as regarding the Army of the Dead!

:)

Thank you It was the only realistic idea really.

Are there any previews (especially of the balrog)

Can you post some screenshots?

Very cool. Keep up the good work.

A nice preview to the upcoming mod. This will satisfy my desire for a LoTR mod for now!
:thanx::thumbsup::thumbsup:

What Files do I need to replace for the Black Dragon and Balrog to get it to work?

I can't remeber I think it might be the name of the unit folder.

So what would I have to do exactly to get it work I've tried a few things but so far unsuccsesful

I'm not at my computer right now, but I post a detailed reply with instruction of wha to do later today.

Ok I been looking through the units file and I can't see what the problem is. The only thing I think it can be is the units sounds Have you made sure that they are in the right place.

Can you explain what problems you are having in more detail.

Ok it comes up saying it cannot find the Wingflap.wav I have all the sounds and images and stuff for the black dragon in the black dragon folder under units I've tried replacing the sound but nothing

Ok I think I know what your problems is. I think that you have inserted the sounds in the worng place I did the same thing when i downloaded it. You need to put the sounds in a folder called "Dragon Sounds" inside the dragon unit folder or open the unit ini file and delete the dragons sound folder destination from the sound file address.

Make sure you have not changed any nmaes or deleted any files.

Okay now that the dragons file works I've got a new problem (I'm just a handful aren't I) well now it can't find Art/Units/European Swordsmen/European Swordsmen.INI I've looked around the folder and the forums but so far I've found nothing

Ok I don't know whats going on!!! the unit you are search for is in the last download before the dragons and balrog links. You should have it already, have you been fiddling around with the files names.

Any way try downloading the last download again it should been in there.

No I haven't been messing around with it but I'll try finding it

Are you going to make another version if so you need to

Take out the useless tech in the tech tree
Give all the units a unique civilopedia image
Make buildings more like LOTR
:eek:

But otherwise it was great :goodjob:

Hope its OK to post here :)!

I've been looking at this scenario-though I haven't had a chance to download it yet! I was just wondering, though, what are your victory conditions, for both sides? I remember that the Civ2 LotR scenario had the ring acting as a 'nuclear' device and, with Barad Dur empty, you could just walk right in and take it!
Unfortunately, this would be unlikely to work in Civ3 due to a lack of scripting.
The only way around this problem might be to
a) make Sauron the King Unit for Morder (which is probably the direction you took!). He dies, game over OR

b) Make Barad Dur a Victory location, and make it worth a LOT of points-so many that you're guarenteed victory.

Another victory possibility is to make the ring a 'treasure unit' for a Reverse Capture the Flag.
Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing what route you took, and I look forward to playing this scenario.

Yours,
Aussie_Lurker.

Sorry about the lateness of my reply but my computer blew up, so i haven't be able to get access to the internet.

First of all I won't be re doing this scenario, simply because its too big too keep uploading and there is already a mod being made which will be superior to this one.

Next, I made frodo a nuclear weapon and used him to nuke the mordor king unit which would win the game. Unfortunately this didn't work as well as I had hoped, but this was my first scenario and I wasn't sure how to do it any other ways

Thank for the comments those.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure i can download this. There are too many parts and I can't figure out how to combine them...it's too complicated.

I nuked Sauron, and the game didnt declare a victory?
Is that meant to happen?

Sometimes it dose that, it not a very good scenario, what more can I say?

No, i enjoyed it. I just decided the computer was too stupid too realise I'd won. lol
Im sorry if my post seemed critical
i did enjoy the scenario.
Loved the way u did the Army of The Dead, and the lack of settling made it more like the war of the ring.
I plan to play as Sauron, or Saruman soon, and cover Middle Earth in darkness.

Thank for the comments, I'm glad you enjoyed it, it took me a damn long time to make it. I wish I'd it thought out a bit more before I posted it those.

And there no need to say sorry no offence was cause by your post.

Can you make a [ptw] version of the mod or at least the map with citys because I do not have [c3c]:cry::cry::cry:
:thanx:

I'll look into it, I've not got much time on my hands right now but if it doesn't take that much work I'll post it in the next few days.

You could make Barlog invinsible unit because thez didnt sow it
