Thanks again for playing :describeorig:

Yes, as usual the AI gets itself stuck sometimes and ofc you gotta kill Frodo and Sam at the end to get the victory message :thewolf:

The color of the ground works atleast with the first artwork, but darker would be much more fitting

The ruins are a nice ideal which I didnt think about, I'll update when I get a chance :)

The only to things I find improvable are tied to the limitiation of stronghold itself. For once I figured green grass is not a good representation of burned mordor. I tried myself there is no legit way of creating a darker more frighting ground. But it lessens the illusions. Second thing is that by text we are told to defend the remains of Barad Dur after the ring got destroyed. Since a large tower is not possible to be build within Stronghold. So it would have been nice to habe some roubles or remains surrounding the fortress creating the illusion of a tower that fell at the start of the map.

Otherwise another incredible map. Looking forward to play the next.

Another incredible map to beat. The fire Easter Egg at the beginning is a nice touch and I find myself in a difficult spot of defending.
Luckly in my third attempt the enemy decided attack in smaller more managable sizes allowing to delay the final attack for long enough to keep it small and burn it.

There is one thing I noticed at the end. After defeating the major forces some got themself stuck in the pitch pits by destroying the stairs and another hide himself and i could locate him and it took serveral moments till the victory screen appeared. He must have flet at some point.
