LotR Minas Tirith, the White City

This is a remaster of my uploaded map from last year, originally from ~2008
Minas Tirith
I added the Rammas Echor, the beacons have been lit and the Rohirrim will now arrive to help the defenders, updated the terrain, city and siege itself and added Gandalf (Knight behind the main gate, try to keep him alive for a bonus challenge)
I recommend to play this on hard/very hard for the best and most fun experience

Minas Tirith, the Tower of Guard, formerly known as Minas Anor, the Tower of the Sun, was the capital city of Gondor from TA 1640 onward.

Siege of Minas Tirith

Minas Tirith was eventually, during the War of the Ring in the year TA 3019, besieged by the armies of Mordor, under the Great Darkness generated by Sauron's power. Prior to the assault the Rammas Echor wall was put back into repair, work being completed on the last section facing north with only days to spare. Most of the women, children and the old were evacuated in the week before the invasion and the city was fully provisioned for a long siege.

The Siege of Gondor began with the assault on Gondor's outer defenses. When these fell and when Denethor II's son Faramir was brought back severely wounded, the Steward fell into despair and played no further part in the city's defense.

The immense Battle of the Pelennor Fields took place in the fields surrounding the city. Although Gondor and its allies were victorious, Théoden, the King of Rohan, was mortally wounded during this battle by the Witch-king of Angmar. At about the same time, the Witch-king was destroyed by Éowyn, lady of Rohan. Aragorn later arrived at the hour of need with an army from Outlands of Gondor, which he had released by defeating the Corsairs of Umbar, turning the tide of battle in favor of the Free Peoples. After the battle, the Pelennor Fields lay strewn with bodies, Minas Tirith's Great Gate was broken and the first circle of the city much damaged by fire.
