A) The Shire was founded under a charter given by a king of Arnor and owe allegiance to Isildur's line. B) They are the tanks of Mordor. C) Sucks to be Theoden. D) See A. E) Depends on difficulty setting.

Thanks for playing it. I'm glad it's still got some replay value after all this time. Looking at the map, I think I was fine with the way the tiles made a little bay south of Umbar and didn't think to extend the firth deeper inland. I see now though that in maps that include Harad (apparently...

Not too many questions, but I have to jog my memory. :) The map was actually the reason why I made the scenario. It was probably the biggest hurdle to getting started, but once it was done, I had to finish the rest. It was a randomly generated map that I then modified in detail according to...

Yes, it needs Conquests. I made it and played it on v1.21 if I recall correctly. After Frodo picks up the Ring it is in his pocket/under his shirt, so Sauron can't see it anymore with far sight. It's not cheating that Sauron knows or suspects the Ring is in the Shire at the beginning of the...

Sauron's recon can't detect invisible, so he can't see Frodo with far sight, but he can see when Frodo is within direct line of sight. The Ring itself is not invisible, so Sauron can see that it is in the Southfarthing on the first turn before it gets picked up. If you have blocked Cirith...

For those fans who have played my original War of the ring scenario, here is a long overdue update, version 1.0. The original War of the Ring thread is here. Broken download updated - Blake00 The new version 1.0 zip file is here. The original description of the scenario is below, with the...

Theoretically that's the next step, but I haven't taken the time to learn how to incorporate custom animations and such. The scenario stretched my civ editing abilities as is. :) And now with a job... who knows when I'll get around to it. :crazyeye: I hope this scenario is still fun for...

Sorry, a little late... :) The Ents and Huorns move with supernatural speed. If you read The Atlas of Middle Earth, she calculates that the Huorns cover some hundreds of leagues in one night. In any case, the Huorns have to be able to arrive at Helms Deep in one turn, and be able to kill...

The problem of getting captured as soon as Frodo sets foot in Mordor is quite frustrating. However, I should remind readers that Frodo did indeed get captured pretty quickly in Mordor. What that means for players of this scenario is that part of the quest is timing that crossing of the Morgul...

Haha, thanks... I haven't had time to do much tinkering, but I think your observation is right. The difficulty level matters. p.s. nice avatar ;)

Thanks for the support. :) 1. Frodo on high traffic road... yeah I am not sure how to mitigate that. Denethor's recon ability helps a bit in seeing if any units are down the road that might be coming up next turn, but it does take a bit of luck to successfully get past the two road tiles...

Signature of the artist. :) Regarding the Mordor is weaker than Gondor comments, that's somehting I'll start balancing. I beefed up Gondor a bit in this last round of balancing but didn't do much for Mordor, so I'll play as Mordor a bit more and fiddle with the levers. The problem with...

Okay, I've posted a revamp of this scenario plus the result of rethinking the Ents in the form of an Ent-playable scenario. I think the mechanics of the game are as tweaked as I'm able to get them, so the next update--if there is to be one--would be the art and trimmings.

I'd like to take a moment from Civ to let people know where and how they can choose to donate. We may be students or young professionals or otherwise not the most well-off, but I for one feel like I have to do something to help or I'd regret it for the rest of my life...
