Aragorn and his companions rode to the halls of Theoden, where Gandalf healed the aged king and rescued him from the spells of Wormtongue. They won a desparate battle in Helm's Deep against the Orcs of Isengard. Saruman has fled, but the Lidless Eye is moving in the East, setting its gaze on Gondor. Aragorn knows that, before all is lost, he must walk the Paths of the Dead... Meanwhile, an uneasy alliance of Elves and Dwarves will try to banish the shadows from Mirkwood.
P.S. The map features 15 customized heroes and 20 unique locations of Middle-earth, all based on Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.

Author: Markus (London), 13-12-2020 02:34 Waste of time - The Return of the King Terribly balanced map, impossible size and at 2nd month if totally empty because all neutral stacks are so trivial to defeat so they got all killed by AI (on highest difficulty level). 1/10
Author: Akelos (France), 09-03-2008 17:47 Sauron is a dumb... Great work doing this map, you made us feel like being in middle earth.
But...
-it's a pity that ennemies are so stupid. Sauron and Saruman came and get killed in the middle of the Rohan with fairly no troops !
-too bad that the elves fight agains the fellowship...
-->in my opinion, making the ennemies much harder, and bringing the elves into the alliance is a good option.
--> Sauron could stay in his fortress to be sure he will keep his troops and give a hard fight (or perhaps a short move radius that will keep him inside Mordor).
Anyway Great map, it deserve's some gameplay fixing ;)

Author: War Chicken (Darmstadt, Germany), 26-02-2008 04:52 Yet another Lord of the Rings Map Although I loved the Movies (the books were terrible) I'm quite fed up with all that Tolkien stuff especially on games that share nothin with it exept the fantasy setting. Please be more creative, make up your own stories and your own worlds or use the one native to the game.
I'm not voting your Map because I havent played it for long (cause is above).
Author: Legolas, 02-02-2008 05:38 congratulations that's great idea! I had the same))) Unfortunately "Heroes" haven't some suitable characters and buildings
