Thanks for creating all these great Middle Earth scenarios. I love Lotr and all the lore, and few games have gotten me so enveloped-let alone scenarios- {:steamfacepalm: fail misspell} as your scenarios [Middle Earth SOM, BFME2,LOTRO are great LOTR games]. Thanks for uniqueness, and thanks for being a discount Jackie Chan :spycon::steammocking::steamsalty:

MoshedZ:i do think you cant edit the AI since the AI file was unique and you cant get it by downloading the scenario, which the default reduced the difficulty greatly, still recommend to play it at all default settings (without editing any).

Nice to hear your kind words, i will try to update the whole serie when the developer fixed the team lock issue, the gates at the left wall are represent the ladders, cant think of any to replace them yet :p

I editing it with regards to the AI, and the battle still went seemlesses. The Orcs/Uruk-hai still charged, Aragorn and group still fought wargs, and I almost lost due to berserkers.
After reading what you wrote, I removed the enemy added forces, and battle still went fine. In any case, very thankful for a beautiful scenario. Most realisitc Helm's Deep battle yet!

P:S: Maybe update scenario with like siege towers to represent the ladders?

MoshedZ:Please dont edit the scenario or the computer AI will fk up, thatsw hy you dont enjoy a good pve game.

Btw not recommending you to play this serie now because the game didnt fix the "Lock team" issue for custom maps yet.

So, I tried to do this as a computer scneario with me vs all the enemies. I suceeded, but I had to edit the scneario and add a lot more units [longbowmen, infantry] to make it slightly more realistic for me. I also added probably thousands of enemy milita.
I didn't see it as cheating, sicne it was me v them

DarkestClawHD: no problem im still here to chat thanks to steam system informed me someone left a comment here. i want to update the maps in my collection all the time but work is very busy, hopefully in a later future i might have a chance to work with my AI coder partner again :p....btw you can always play any of those with your friends, dont tell me u beat them all! but for this one, to be honest the only winnable way in the right settings is to kill saruman by eomer's army :

JackChan, I see more than a year is over since you have written last time here. But I wanna ask you: Can you please update your Lord of the Rings scenarios/maps. I want to play them with friends. Thanks for every answer.

Falken Punch:

For the heros at the beginning, you all supposed to run tho the first 5p's gate before taking down the enemy gate, because it is a prevent glitch settings that prevent AI enemy get in that gate to stuck or waste pop, so if you have units broke the gate first and others stay behind, the gate will lock, but you can unlock the gate again in the 1p unglitch island, which is located in the center of the map, and ofcoz you can lock it back too:)

For the archers they have like +9 damage of each, should be good enough and balanced (like 4-5 arrows to take down one urukhai)

Also, i forgot to mention the enemy AI recommend civ are celts, since they most likely dont build woad raiders.

The 5p overlap gates are the ladders, and i cant think of another presentation to represent them atm, but uruk hais cant get tho it before they do "ladders up".

And yes, maybe i will make Siege of gondor but i dont have time atm..maybe later :p

Thank you for the kind comments :)

A few issues that I had when our friends played this game:

Legolas, Gimli and Theoden were all stuck in the top left corner because we can't control the Eoywn gates.

Also, the archers (longbowmen) do terrible damage, and I found that many of the units (i.e. teutonic knights, longbowmen, etc) were not modified at all. They had regular damage, regular health, etc.

Another suggestion would be to have the orcs try and build the "ladders" .. in the movie they had to actually put them up themselves. Maybe have some villagers with a lot of health and armor try and build them with increased building speed. These "ladders" should also be destroyable.

Other than that the map was very enjoyable, but in my experience, could use s little work. Look forward to upcoming updates, and possibly a battle of plenor fields/minas'tirith map? :)

IG_42: there are only uruk hais in this map, which represented by champions and crossbowmen, plus some berserkers.
IG_42 10 Oct, 2013 @ 5:27am 
not to be anal or anything but the plural for uruk-hai is just uruk-hai or uruks

I love these maps that JackChan makes, their unique and fun and they really need good tatics and team work, it's very enjoyable to play all of the roles in this scenario as someone is always doing something, no one is ever idle, if you want a challenge and have a couple of friends, why not play this map? you will not be disappointed!
