Middle Earth Diplomacy 20

8 players, 1000 pop, no wolf, 1000 starting resource of everything, ludacris map size, non locked teams.

In this version you get 25 gold per min.

There is a lot less resources on the map, to help lower lag. And all players 50 stone, 25 gold and 200 wood in the form of a silent tribute from gaia every 60 seconds. (age of empires 2 time)

The wood is to help with farms, the stone with walls and the odd new castle.

Use of trigger studio allowed me to give everyone 1000 pop.

The no fish helps lower lag.

Starting transport ships move very fast.

Settle where you want in Middle-Earth and fight over the map, make alliances, team together victory is possible, so being loyal to your allies can make the game end faster.

Map is rich in resources. Geography isn't exactly accurate, but maybe you could make a better version of this map.

Each transport ship is filled with 5 villagers. Allied victory is possible.

Use of trigger studio allowed me to give everyone 1000 pop.

Hints:

Diplomacy survival tips from me in Age of Empires 2.

Diplomacy maps often are very rich in resources. Some maps you can win as a team, so loyality is nice.

Make allies. Be friendly, that allows trade, trade makes you rich. 50/100 trade carts/trade cog makes you swimming in gold. Not only that allies could help you in wars. Or say if some guy tries to rush you, your ally could come to your aid.

Build defences, wall yourself in and boom your economy hard. Grab as many relics as you can.

Sometimes, you should never backstab, you can win with your ally in this map.

Being a lone wolf is not advised, but if you must, be friendly for awhile, get that sweet trade gold, and then backstab. Being a lone wolf at the start just means you have no trade, so fighting someone who has trade has the advantage of swimming in trade gold, and a possible ally in which they declare war on you.
