Rather Large Middle Earth Map

immortals84 · Jan 3, 2004

Here is a rather large map of middle earth for all of you LOTR fans. I came up with 31 civs (i woulda put more if i could) to use in the what would of been my LOTR scenario, but that was before i had the patch so my file became corrupt. Some of the civs include the Numenorians, and various elvish tribes , because America is in the regular game with the English, even though America was a result of English expansion. I just like playing big and complicated. Now I will wait and resurrect the scenario later after I download all of these brilliant LOTR units i found on this newly discovered fansite.

Here's a link to a thread that is about a Middle Earth mod, if you want to join the discussion or process of making this mod.

I like your map I downloaded it a yesterday ago. It could you do with a bit more detail though and also Numenor was in the shape of a star and wasn't entirly forested.

Also I have made a scenario of my own and posted it in the mod section, if your interested.

Screenies are always appreciated for new maps. Just a tip.

cant say its really finished yet. Perhaps you could add some forests here and there and mix the plains with the grasslands more.

Perhaps more plains than necessary, but good job! :goodjob:

I know, but ive never seen a LOTR map that tells you where to put grassland and plains. Plus I created it more to my liking, i never thought that i would find this site and actually get to share a map!

BTW...you should move the start locations that are on mountains. You can't build your cities mountains, and I kind of think that it is unfair.

You made a pretty accurate map, I did not have the nerves to make it this large

....
You can see the terrain layout on my map (desert, grassland etc.), its pretty accurate. I used the Karen Wynn Fonstad Atlas precipitation and climate map to get this.
A general rule of thumb:
* grassland is low-precipitation (spelled wrong of course), hot summer-cold winter terrain. Example: most of russia, except by rivers. Area around Rhun.
* Plains is washed away, high rainfall area (around rivers, mainland, coast etc. most of "fertile" terrain is plains but needs more "cultivation").

BR,

I am quite confused. First, I really like the map. Second (Aonghus), I didn't know that the Romans created the Bretons, or Saxons, or Gaels (and, of course the Angles from which the name England is taken). Third (Bibor), I believe you have grasslands and plains confused with one another. But I am a simple person who is often mystified at the greatness of craft and wisdom found here (no sarcasm intended) so I know it may be me who is wrong. But it is a great map. It just needs LEGO men.
