LOTR Cities!

[Olorin0222]

I decided to make city graphics for the LOTR scenarios either out there or coming out. I'm using Rhye's terrain as the background hills/mountains, and screenshots from EA Games The Battle For Middle-Earth for the cities themselves.

Download for all my Battle For Middle-Earth dervied City Graphics

Minas Tirith:

The White City of Gondor

Minas Tirith



Barad-Dur:

Barad-Dur, looking peaceful and serene on the grassland

Barad-Dur



The Black Gate:

The Black Gate sits silently

The Black Gate



Hobbiton:

You never knew Hobbiton was a seaside resort town of the rich and famous, including Abe Lincoln, did you?

Hobbiton



Helm's Deep:

The Hornburg

Isengard (made by mrtn):

Pretty cool!

I really like Barad dur and Minas, but I think Helms is abit too dark..Its kinda hard to distinguish some parts from others..(whats the wall, whats the ground, whats the tower).

I think the problem is the pic you used is set in night time, and civ III is pretty much daytime...

On another note Maybe a night time terrian set wouldn't be a bad idea

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to lighten it up a little. The same thing happened to Minas Tirith: in the game, it's more blue than white.

These are great. Too bad you can't have LM city graphics.

Uhm................... I'll just say 'Resources'................ and'll leave the rest to your head.

 

[WildWeazel]

My head isn't getting it... what am I forgetting?

 

[mikezang]

Its Great!

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

Well u could either place Land mark resources... or if u need a city with a certain look make a one frame unit out of the LOTR city pic and place it over the city of choice- then turn on "show units over cities..."

 

[WildWeazel]

I still don't see what you mean about the resources. I thought of making units out of them, but won't it only show up if it has the highest defense in the tile?

hmmmmmmm.....why can't we?

Thanks for getting me thinking Weasel Op.

I created a map and when I try to load it it says, "Missing entry in text\PediaIcon.txt"ICON_. Can anyone help me?

 

[Olorin0222]

Did you try to use these cities in your map?

To install these cities, you need to download them to a folder in the Scenarios folder in Conquests. Your Folder setup should like something like Infogrames Interactive-->Civ3-->Conquests-->Scenarios-->Your_Folder_Name-->ARt-->Cities-->the various LOTR cities. Then, in the Editor, go to Scenario Properties and make it a search file, as shown in the attachment.

You should not have to mess with Pediaicons at any time, which makes your problem kind of puzzling. Let me know if this helps any.
