The Battle for Minas Tirith by Sir Edmond Colwell

Description
The epic battle of our time comes to AOE. Fight as the armies of Gondor, Rohan, Mordor, Rhun, and the Haradrim in Osgiliath, Pelennor Fields, and the city of Minas Tirith itself.

Players:
1-Italians (Gondor) team 1
2-Celts (Mordor) team 2
3-Magyars (Rohan) team 1
4-Goths (Rhun) team 2
5-Britons (Gondor) team 1
6-Ethiopians (Harad) team 2

How to play:

The attackers have 2.5 hours (game time) to assault the city. The forces of Mordor win by destroying both sections of the White Citadel, which sits atop the White City.

Good of course wins if they can withstand the assault for the same amount of time.

The first 5 minutes allow for new players to read the hints and for each team to formulate a game plan. At 5 minutes, and every 5 minutes thereafter, each team will receive
a large sum of funds with which to buy units. The attackers receive much greater amounts than the defenders.

Attackers should begin by attacking Osgiliath and Harlond, then building new bases from which to launch their assault in the plains of Pelennor.
In the left corner is a set of bonuses and "powers" that the defenders can and sohuld utilize to defend the city. Read the relics and place a king near one to activate it.

Important notes:
The hints contain very helpful information that will hlep your side win the battle. Use the first 5 minutes to read over these.
Player 3 needs to bring Pippin to the beacon (piles of wood) at the very top of the White City in order to signal the Rohirrim. This will set forth a chain of events:

-Rohirrim in 1 hour from the lighting of the beacon so lighting this with Pippin ASAP is essential
-Haradrim after Theoden arrives
-Witch King after the Mumakil arrive
-Undead after the Witch King


Next update will include bonuses/powers for evil and perhaps some balancing.
Please let me know if you find any bugs or have suggestions for improving the map.

Thanks to Limon, Gael, and everyone else who tested and gave feedback on this one.

When I add this to my subscribed items, I put this one at the top; however, it does not appear to show up in game? Can you assist in this?

It's really an amazing scenario. Wonderful job. Are there any upgrade?

For those interested, here is a list of known bugs (that I can recall!) and items intended to be fixed in V2:

-Rohirrim Camps can be targeted before they change to p3's control
-The Black Ships can be targeted before they arrive
-Some of the powers incorrectly apply to certain units (mostly for grey)
-Some of the hints refer to the wrong player
-Some kings do not disappear when used to select a bonus
-P1/grey units have no name unless they are part of a repeating rename trigger
-P3/green will receive more funds when the Rohirrim arrive
-Evil powers and bonuses will be completed
-Stone/Fortified walls will be removed for evil side


Please let me know of any other known issues I may have missed, or if you have any suggestions for improving the map on V2.

Best Map 2016-2017

@ coy.cavanaugh If you are trying to host the map for multiplayer there are a few possibilities that might explain why you don't see the map.

1. The map is for the expansions, so check the expansions tab when you create your lobby.
2. You are looking under the "Custom" tab rather than the "Scenario" tab. Look in "Scenario" and it should be there if you also created the lobby under expansions.

Let me know if this helps!

Love LOTR in general gents! Thank you for all of your hard work, cant wait to play it. One question I have though is how can I play this Scenario? Didnot see it for a map option while building a custom map battle.
