Description

My attempt at a reconstruction of Middle Earth.

Play as Sauron, take over the world you begin with some trolls, orcs, the nine Ringwraiths and 5 Nazgul fellbeasts

find locations like..

Tom Bombadills house (with Goldberry).

The Shire, Rivendel (with Elrond).

Barliman Butterbur in Bree.

The Dead Marshes near Mordor.

Mordor (and shelobs lair).

The Iron Hills of the Dwarves.

Lorien and Gladriel.

The Mines of Moria with orcs, trolls, the "watcher" in the water and the "Balrog").

Mirkwood, with spiders and orcs (and Beorn, and the Silvan Elves of Mirkwood).

Radagast the brown

The lonely mountain and Smaug.

Bard the archer in Laketown.

Sauraman and Wormtongue in Isengard (and some hidden "crows" to search the land).

The Ents of Fangorn (ok they are giants but the best i had).

Rohan and Gondor ( and the path of the dead!).

The Fellowship of the ring will come for you, as will the rest of Middle Earth 4 theives to represent the hobbits, a tunneller for Gimli, archer for Legolas, knight for Boromir, wizard for Gandalf and avatar for Aragorn

and even Gollum is sneaking around somewhere

map as accurate as I could get

Special Shout out to Dragonlich, for the awesome Eye of Sauron dungeon heart!!!, download it here on this site (on the "other" page)

Version 4 uploaded. bug fixes, and increase of difficulty

arthurdent Submitter

version3 uploaded.

made it harder hopefully, less allies etc.

make sure to replace the old azconfig folders, as new stuff is happening here thanks

In my opinion, if you wanted to maintain the LOTR line you should have put Saruman as an ally in Isengard with his orcs that cannot be controlled by you who dedicated himself to Rhoan and who you, as keeper, can decide to help more massively.

dragoonlich

A nice map. I was really pleased that you used the Eye of Sauron that I posted months ago...

arthurdent Submitter

Yes!, it was Perfect!

I played it now and agree with the other feedback, loads of stuff going on, but you start with such a massive army nothing could even remotely harm you. Your 10 lvl10 knights alone are enough to win. I was going to convert the avatar, but killed the heart before he converted.

And you get to convert everything too. Perhaps simply change the story so that your army is away at helms deep so the player starts without an army. Now everything goes by really fast.

arthurdent Submitter

appreciate the feedback :)

the 9 knights are means to represent the 9 ringwraiths, but perhaps I should make them lower level.? and lower the amount of "allies" you can get. (moria, mirkwood)

I had an original version where you had to go get the portal at Isengard, instead of already being claimed, perhaps I will go back to that as well...

I see you made a screenshot of unearth, but in new unearth versions there is also an export function to make make screenshots. 'File - Export Preview'.

I would also rename your map to Middle Earth instead of `Middle Earth 2023.12.30 map'.

Just played the 2nd version and i completed it like Ben_lp. maximum 10 mins .

Really liked the custom heart! really cool! think it needs some kind of tweaking cuz it was really easy map. like the concept of it and its a cool map.

arthurdent Submitter

uploaded 2nd version, with faster enemy spawn time

ben_lp 🇩🇪 • Edited

it took me about 10 minutes to conquer this realm. the map layout is very pretty and i really felt like sauron himself :P your objects are working and the custom heart is nice, the new creatures too. i had 2 Reveal boxes next to my heart ? idk if that was intended. the avatar was a bit stronger than usual but still no competition. i killed heart and i won :)

arthurdent Submitter

Thanks!, although if you beat it that quick, you may have missed a few waves of heroes spawning. :)

watch out now you have two versions uploaded and PPL can't compare
