Zetnus: last detail info: i puted some funny symbolic shapes for some towns: like the dwarf's head (with beard, breads and viking helmet) for Moria or the spider for Morgul or Dol guldur, symbolizing also 9 towers for 9 nazguls and functioning acurately for story and tactic defense.

Zetnus: thx. Note that my map doesn't respect the overall dimensions, proportions of Tolkien's map: it's impossible for me acurately on aoe2 scale, while Tolkien puted hundreds of miles. I oversized spots with events or towns like the (here) 5 levels (not 7) of Minas Tirith, filling an entire region. I tried to conserve paths (bridges, fords, pass, etc) ands roads for strategical aspect, and shape of towns, for tactical.
I am making for now the north of Middle Earth, to show The Hobbit book, and civs and events, associated (you can see some screenshots published already). Ludikris size bugs (too bad, would be easier to do for me, but finally, giant makes better synthesis, more clever to adapt, and faster games).
Bye and thank you for interest.

Oooh, nice. I've only read the books and watched the extended editions. But I have spent a lot of time pouring over the maps, since I've always liked maps.

Zetnus: thanks. I add that I got a degree of theatrical (tv, cinema, etc) sets designing, researched a lot on LOTR websites to have acurate details on every spot of the map, read the books, have seen all Peter Jackson films bonuses (about 60 hours of film) notably to have inspiration from John Howe and Alan Lee design, and play aoe2 from release.

a new one for your collection in my workshop (using LOTR data mods).
thanks for eventual support.

Yeah, it's usefull to have them all in one place. People keep making more Lord of the Rings -themed maps and scenarios; I just found another few and added them.

I really like that you put these big collections of everything together, good job!

Come to think of it, some of the soundracks will conflict with eachother as well

There are two scenarios in this list that both have the same name and that's why I originally didn't offer a "subscribe to all" option. (Lord of the Rings (by Khaldar) and Middle Earth 2vs2 (by Twixan) both have a scenario file called Middle Earth. Subscribing to both will cause the most recent subscription to overwrite the other one)

I can change the collection options to offer a "subscribe to all" option, however the the game will only download the first 30 mods you subscribe to anyway. So if you wanted to get everything you would need to unsubscribe once the maps download (they remain in their respective folders even after unsubscribing) in order to be able to download all 44 items.

you have to download all of the 44 items of content seperately
