LOTR battle for the ring

This is an 8 player Lord of the Rings scenario. It is inspired by the "Hanni" LOTR scenarios, but those versions don't work on HD. This is a smaller map with fewer triggers and fewer untis. It is still a fixed army battle over all of Middle Earth, with a slow spawn for each player. The number of heroes has been reduced, and a majority of units are standard AOEII without special triggers.

You might consider this the "alpha" version because it hasn't been rigorously tested for balance, etc. Also, there are no special victory triggers (bring Frodo to Mt Doom trigger) so you just battle until one side is dead. You can disable spawns by stationing a group of units (or a ram) over them. Bad guys have two spawns (one infantry, one elephant).
