Chris' Third Age - War of the Ring

[Nintendohomie]

Welcome to the world of J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings!

Download & extract files and BIQ to Conquests/Conquests - and you're good to go !


The Map-

Created from scratch by myself! Map-creation is a passion of mine and this middle-earth (80x100) is particularly good-if I don't say so myself.

-Cities & (Most) Wonders pre-placed with settlers unbuildable.

The Units-

I created none of the custom units graphics for this scenario. I want to give full credit to all the amazing content-creators who made these fantastic units and so many others included in many of the mods and scenarios created over the years. If i have missed anybody, please message me or post here and i'll be more than happy to edit this post and give full credit. Due to this game's age, some of the unit-makers no longer post regularly on here or have stopped activity altogether. I tried to reach out to all of them I could & ask permission before release.
- Unit Creators - aaglo , Plotinus , Sandris , Vuldacon , Kyriakos , Bluemofia , utahjazz7 , & any I missed !


I did however take the liberty of creating new units using vanilla unit graphics as flavor units and UU's for different civs.

The Scenario-

Intended to be fast and fun. I am open to all feedback! please feel free to share any advice or criticisms. After many years playing and civediting, I'm still eagerly learning.

Despite my best attempts to balance this scenario as much as possible, the free peoples seem to be a bit stronger during my playtesting. however any civ will provide a decent challenge at first. Because the games will be relatively short, this scenario lends itself to trying out the different civs and getting a feel for each of them.

The Units (Cont.) -

Here is a sampling of many of the cool units you will see in this scenario! Once again full credit to the creators of the custom unit graphics.

There are many more units around the map which are pre-placed, unbuildable, or produced by wonders.

As I stated earlier, not all normal units are available or available to every civ. Don't worry if you don't see something. No buildable unit has more than 7 attack. Once aspect of my scenarios is I also tweak the stats for most units. I choose a number set and build off of that. For this scenario, for example, the elite buildable units have 7 attack, and no more than 7 defense.

The Civs-

Kingdom of Rohan
Kingdom of Gondor
Principality of Dol Amroth
Northmen
Kingdom of Dale
Dwarves
Noldor
Woodland Realm
Realm of Lothlorien
Mordor
Isengard
Harad
Easterling

The Wonders-

I've re-named the wonders & also changed what they do slightly. Certain wonders double city strength etc. The tower of ecthelion & orthanc for example. Other wonders have been changed. All Wonders and most small wonders will be pre-placed.

This is very cool! I just uploaded a major update to my LOTR scenario, and then I saw this thread. This must be a LOTRy week or something.
