Looks great

update?

can you make a hot seat mod, i want to play co op campaign on one computer

Alright, sounds good!

Yeah I think it's best for your mod if the maps are actually decent with the AI on it. I'll message you when it's done, and won't forget!

No problem either way! If you would prefer we wait till then that is also no problem, I can just keep an eye on the mod if you'd like.

Nope I haven't added them, nor have a I fixed a vanguard deployment zone issue where you can basically spawn inside the base or outside depending on attack/defend.

I think maybe it's best to wait until I update, but it won't be until Sunday probably :/

Alright nice, thanks! Did you include a reinforcement hints? Oh and if you'd like us to list you as a contributor like we've done with the other map makers so far just contact zoidberg!

Yep totally fine! I had been meaning to update it though just one more time as there's a couple bugs left. I wont be able to update for a few weeks though as I'm going away for a while so feel free to take it and include it.

It's a great map, would work very well as a minor settlement battle!

People have apparently been having issues when they have more than 39 mods installed at the same time, so we have started integrating the maps into the main mod instead of listing them as requirements. Would you be okay with that, and would you like us to list you as a contributor when we do that (that's what we've been doing for the other map makers so far).

You're more than welcome to if you think it's good enough!

Darren, I was just wondering if you would like it if we would include your map in our compilation of maps for the Grand Campaign ?

in campaign?

Any update soon ?

SMOrc

Wow, that's some great work Darren. Thx for sharing your work with the community!

Thanks RAFDM - I think the bounding boxes of the gates prevent selection, so I might have to scale them back or use non-colission props. Will look for a fix.

For all :
I'm posting a big update to the map this weekend which should fix some issues people have with vanguard deployment and camera clipping on the map. That should be the final version and I can move on to the next map!

Thanks for everyone's help and contributions.

Love the map. However I found that targetting anything through the main gate is super hard sometimes. I'll be on one side and the enemy swarms in, so I want to get my ranged and artillery on them, yeah? Well I cannot select anything that is near the gate. I sometimes have to take my camera to the other side of the map and target them from there.

That said, gorgeous map with storytelling. Telling a story through map design is a skill that many map makers havent displayed yet, although we have so many good maps coming out. Thanks for taking the time with this. It's great.

DAKKA DAKKA

you are my favourite youtubes evers <3

@gamekiller_ted - I hope to eventually yeah!
@Nexxes - thanks, I'll try it out!
@football4life02 & @Jur - Thank you!
@Doctor Shil - Appreciate it, thanks!
@PIXY_UNICORN - It could be yes.
@TheBandit - Thanks!

well made

could this map be made into a replacement for small settlments (when orcs own them) in the campaign?

Heya Darren Amazing map! I have featured it in my new series showcasing the top maps of the week! Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Check out some of my other content and subscribe if you like my stuff! P.s If you you can always leak stuff to my channel XD :P

Visually stunning map, love the orc feel, been wanting a map like this since the game came out! Many thanks darren!!

Had fun with this map! It's weird the units can't take advantage of the wall though.

@Darren Let me explain it a bit more. For "default, alliance 0, id 0" to have their vanguard deployment zone restricted you have to place the "Guerrilla Exclusion Additive" under "default, alliance 1, id 0". The "Guerilla Exclusion Additive" itself is the area where "default, alliance 0, id 0" can't place their units. This will not effect "default, alliance 1, id 0". Be carefull though if you place the "Guerilla Exclusion Additive" over the spawn of the one that should be excluded, as then they can't even place those vanguard units in their own deployment zone.

Hope this explains it a bit better?

Darren will you add this to Campaign?

Awesome map, Darren!! Very cool :)

Just apply a rule and count on people respecting it then :P

Thanks!
Can't seem to fix vanguard deployment, even after testing out the "guerilla exclusion zone additive", placing it around inside / outside deployments of the enemy and ally it doesn't seem to have any effect.

well made :)

Bugs:
Vanguard exclusion doesn't work as intended.
Attacking army faces wrong way at the beggining.
You can order your infantry to go on/under that plateau over gobbo's district. A no-go zone is needed. Flying units behave weird there too.
Balance suggestions:
I would connect forests on the right so that attacker can use them to cover his movements all the way through "Helm's Deep Approach"
I would make defender's deployment zone smaller so that they are futher away from HDA's exit and that hill in the middle of the camp.

Thanks Nexxes will update later today! Appreciate it!

Hey Darren! If you want to stop vanguard deployment you just need to select the opposites teams deployment zone layer. Under "deployment zone region" you can find "guerrilla exclusion additive". Great looking map!

nice map! the units work well with the terrain, and the environment is perfect

Hey! Please let me know how this map plays out and leave suggestions as I can update and edit it pretty quick.
