Hi there, wow its been a while, if you would like to feel free!

Abit late to the game but just discovered this map, it is very entertaining with intricate triggers and overall a good bloody job done! Unfortunately like alot of the comments seem to suggest the map seems to suit a multiplayer scene than a single player. Would you be able to allow me to tweak and fix some of the broken triggers and repost the map here for single player use?

where is the balrog??

Only one person per civ as it is based on the slot you are in

can more than one person be gondor?

I found how to fix it: you make a custom scenario without custom races. You save it and load it in the random map thingy, launch the game and exit. Then it should no longer show the races until you play a custom scenario with custom races again.

After uninstalling try clicking "verify integrity of game files", which can be found by right clicking the aoe game in your steam library, clicking properties, and under local files. Hope that works.

How do I get rid of the civ names? I uninstalled the mod but my AI opponents still have the lotr player names in random map games?

The map was made to be multiplayer, you could try and play it singleplayer but it probably wouldn't work too well

Is this multiplayer only?

k thanks

No this one is just a scenario

this is probebly a dumb question does the mod change the unit looks

Lanvin:
I don't usually get on very much so if you could ask them here I would be glad to answer them :)

I Got Some Questions please aaccept my friend request :)

Not sure is anybody here. But I think that Mordor(Player 2) and Harud(Player 8) somehow fighting each other. cuz Player2 set diplomacy with Player 8 as enemy.

ok thanks

if you wanna be a different faction i believe you need to play it in multiplayer

can somone tell me if you can be a different faction or your just gondor plz?

yea it is a good map, its just a different style. Big thanks to the people who made it.

Figured so. Nice to see LotR being played, albeit not being the same as the old ones. In time the old LotR may get played on Steam too eventually, thanks to your work.

nhoobish -- So I started on voobly a short time before I got hd and those lotr scenarios were a pretty cool thing. I didn't play it that much but It was an extremely helpful resource in the process of making this map. It helped me with many ideas.

Did you use to be a Lord of the Rings player during ancient times of AoC, cjbeards? There are certain things indicating that you have played the old type of LotR scenarios.

Sure that will be fine, thanks for letting me know

Do you mind if I use this scenario as a base for a version of the War of the Ring that I want to make? I'll be sure to give you credit for the source map!

Maybe see if you can boost the value of the resource units? If a stone mine has 1000 over 350. Still forces the build up but allows for larger battles that don't turn into a sitting fest. Or have every faction start with added materials to mine within its fort. Thus still boosting resources while not allowing for instant access. Just a thought or two.

Yea, I tried to keep it in a style where you really have to build up first and then destroy your enemies, so I wanted to keep the resources low at the start, but it is pretty cramped trying to fit everything in.

It works, however the starting resources are extremely low considering how tightly packed everyone is. There is almost no chance of expansion unless you wait for your enemy to waste themselves on your walls first.

should work now

Right now i need to upgrade these maps but my launcher is messed up and unable to let me start the game, should be able to next patch

Doesn't work.

А как скачать карту? Я добавился в подписчики, что делать дальше? Ответь пожалуйста!!!

when making a game, go to scenario,then find LOTR--------v2, then click it.

how do i play it ?!

how do i play it ?!

Wow, special, veri special, Great!

If i wanted too, I could make a ludacris map size one. This would be very detailed and very awesome. However, ludacris map size with so much detail would lag way to much to be playable, and would take so much work to do it.

With the forgotten expansion maybe?

I have checked that and noticed I made it 8 player map size, so it really cant go much bigger.

With which mapsize did yoou create this map?

Well I believe he is a Robin Hood hero, so whatever range that guy has Legolas does. Sadly I cant modify range.

I've been using Legolas, and his range is a lot less than that of other Longbowmen, is there any way to fix this?

ok i found it thank you for the help :)

It should be in the editor under LOTR 8 Player HD-----v2.

i subscribed but i cant seem to find it

lame ur right, just tested it. I will probably try to change alot of things and re add the map later, thanks for noticing that.

Nope, I've followed that and everything else including deleting the versions I had made/modified. I've even gone into other folders following directions other people have suggested, and nothing. All I get is the same file, 'LOTR 8 Player HD------V2'. And it's still clearly your second version - none of the updates you've described such as disabling buildings. If you find out any other way, please let me know. Also, please, for my own piece of mind, verify that you've updated the file on the steam workshop?
One last ditch thought that I think would work is if you uploaded a completely new item to the workshop, which would be your current version (4), and post the link to it here in the comment thread. That way steam should treat it separately and I could download it like any other map. If that's not too much trouble, I'd really appreciate it.

TL;DR for anyone else: this is the best Lord of the Rings map I've seen, and I highly, highly recommend it - even version 2.

maybe unsubscribe, then verify ur game cache, and then re subscribe. Other than that i would say u need to go into ur mods folder in aoe2 hd and delete the lotr already there. It will probably be titles Lord of the Rings; The War of the Ring.

I decided to just go back to they way you had it - it's easier that way. But now I'm trying to get your new update, and it's not working. I've unsubscribed and then subscribed again a bunch of times, and I never get the new file. I've even gone in and deleted the old version of the map. Any suggestions?

might make it a bit confusing to have a monastery for p1 by mount doom, but yea try it. Also when you select the relic, it says it's selected but then go out and back into that trigger and it will show as unselected.
