Description
This is a two-player pvp map set in Tolkien's Middle-Earth.

Player 1: Britons ~ Gondor
Player 2: Persians ~ Harad
Player 3: Goths (AI) ~ Ruins

Each player start with a hero (Gondor: Faramir / Harad: Suladân) which gets stronger the further you advance in ages.
Those heroes can be used to gather the treasures that are spread all over the map but beware of their sometime very powerful guardians!
Aside from that mechanic the map represents a pretty traditional build and destroy playstyle that should be very accessible for everyone.

Apart from this being constructed as a pvp map, it also can be played as a player versus ai game where the only drawback is that the ai does not know how to collect those treasures. But is fully functional so you should be able to have lots of fun with it no matter if a friend is currently available or not!

If you want to see how I created this map (in fast-forward), the following videos might be interesting for you:

@Metopheles: Verifying the game cache should do the trick i think. :)

So what to do about it?

@Metopheles: This is quita a common bug. Singleplayer games "Save" the enemies you played against the last time. Sadly this also seems to copy names and civs from custom scenarios.

Experiencing a weird bug.. Even after unsubscribing, every single player game now has "ruins" as player 3, no matter the civ. Please help

@dylanhk02: Well, as Harad is a vassal of Mordor it is technically also "Gondor vs Mordor" but in this scenario I really wanted to put the emphasis on the conflict betweeen the Gondorian Rangers and the Southern allies of Mordor. :)

@polarfenix: It should be "Ithilien 1,4" or something in that direction.

Could someone tell me what is the name of the file? Thanks.
