LOTR: The Two Towers Scenario

[Sarevok]

You should use the easy upload to upload your maps, thats the only way i can get the new versions. Its easy to rename inprovements and wonders there is a rename buttom in the editor.

I played your scenario last night, and it was pretty fun. A few suggestions though:

1) You may want to give the Hero units +1 or +2 hit points. They're pretty strong as is, but I was still able to wipe out the Fellowship (with the exception of Aragon) losing only a few easily replaceable Uruk-hai.

2) You may want to make it so Isengard can't build things like knights, pikemen, swordsmen, etc. Why should I build a swordsman when I can build an Orc that is better and cheaper? Same with knights and warg riders.

3) I'm with Yoda in that you need to rename the wonders and techs. You don't need to use all of the wonders, so you can cut the ones you don't need out of the loop. Likewise, you don't need all of the techs, so cut out the ones you don't need by setting them to Era: None. You'll probably have to make up a lot of stuff with regards to wonders. For example, you can change Sun Tzu's Academy to something like Sauron's Army or Call of the Dark Lord, or something else like that.

4) You should probably give Isengard a few standard starting structures, like a temple and marketplace, etc in addition to the walls and barracks.

5) Are Militia supposed to have a movement rate of 2? Just wondering if that was intentional.

6) To solve the problem with unit support costs, you could just uncheck the Requires Support box for some of the units, such as the Uruk-hai for example. If you do this, though, you should probably increase their cost.

If I think of anything else, I'll post it here. All in all, it was a fun scenario to play.

you dont need the trench on the right side just make sure x and y wraping are off

 

[Sarevok]

This isnt my map, i just made the scenario. and It has been stated many times, (honestly, who goes that far east anyway???).
As far as those additional changes are concerned, they wont come for a little bit. I dont really agree with having the Uruk-Hai's have higher support costs since it makes it a bit unbalanced. And the Milita were supposed to have 2 movement. as far as names are concerned, give me some suggestions on what to name them, im not putting anythingf stupid though. I saw Two Towers for the third time today

Just downloaded it, I'll try it out later

 

[Sarevok]

Has anyone tried the other nations in this scenario yet?

 

[Sarevok]

I just tried it as mordor, and I have seen that a few things will need changing for 1.3 that im working on now. In Addition, I renamed a few of the wonders.

 

[Yoda Power]

Have you seen these orc units?

 

[Sarevok]

Yeah, but I dont really like them very much.

 

[Yoda Power]

You dont? To bad i think they are cool.

 

[Sarevok]

Have you played as gondor yet? or Mordor? or Rohan? I saw two towers for the 4th time yesterday, lol.

 

[Yoda Power]

I havent played it yet, i always wait untill the last versions come up.

I saw two towers for the 4th time yesterday

I only saw it 2 times, but i read the book 3 times and im reading it now.

 

[Sarevok]

well, my final version isnt coming out until people say everything i need to change...or with the exception of the names and a few unit ballances it is in final form?

 

[Yoda Power]

Have you seen these leaderheads?

 

[Sarevok]

Actually these are interesting and I might use Saruman for 1.3... But how do you put it on??? I dont know how to use leaderheads...

 

[superunknown]

Well if it isn't the New Lord of Murder.
"hand over your ward and no one will be hurt!"

anyway,

Played your scenario. Its quite good. However, I would like to see some other unit graphics. Not sure wich though.

 

[Yoda Power]

look under civilizations in the editor. Here´s a screenshot to show you what you should look for. If you dont understand just ask.

 

[Sarevok]

Alright, ill have it figured out in a few days. untill then enjoy yourself. I have a WW3 scenario im making that my freind Lynx startedon but never finished, so you will see that soon as well.
