Bugs from the previous map have been fixed. New adventures, new faces for the heroes and more ..
Tips: Keep the rings in the game, look for hidden objects and follow the comments.
The Anduin is a mighty river and has long neld the Mordor at day. Yet the Dark Lord does not yield up his desires so easily. In secret, a host hast come forth from the very gates of Minas Morgul. It camps along the Anduin's east bank.
Author: Aeris Quamarine (China), 27-01-2012 09:55 Hello, Vallex The city Minas Tirith, wow, too crowded, not very beautiful, sorry
And I'm about to finish this map, great. Pitifully, very pitifully, my main hero Treebeard do not have archery nor water, oh my god... he is the only one with high Attack and defense
And I think too many hidings will destroy players' happiness, an appropriate amount is enough
the death of the thousands of phoenixes and archdevils is creative
and the event before the Witch King 3: make a new "save", not "safe"
how could you make the library at (59,101,0) visited already?
and the 4 pandora's boxes, why the top one of them are different? 9000 cavaliers, I see others are all 4000
I'm leaving for school also, come on, be quick or I'll not complete it...

Author: Juampi (Uruguay), 27-01-2012 01:55 @Vallex : SOW lol then he`s stucked there for some reason. Thank you as allways.
Author: Juampi (Uruguay), 27-01-2012 01:53 idk what happens After entering the secret passage of mordor (before going underground) i dont know why i cant walk trough to the subterranean Gate. I ve cheked the map and only have to go
Author: vallex (Bulgaria), 27-01-2012 01:39 SOW Shackles of War is in Gothmog. In the beginning of the game he must kill Isildur and then he can pass through guard at 114/51/0.
Author: Juampi (Uruguay), 27-01-2012 01:19 @Vallex : SOW The guard at 51:114 requires Shackles of War to pass trough it.
:/
thnx fot the other stuff, i will look for them
Author: vallex (Bulgaria), 27-01-2012 00:41 to Borislav Andreev Харесва ли ти картата. Дай едно рамо за рейтинга. Виждам в БГ не е умрял Хироус 3 :)
Author: vallex (Bulgaria), 27-01-2012 00:27 hints after Smaug you can conquer Dale. There is the answer
after Osgiliath, look carefully around
Author: Kommanche (Athens), 26-01-2012 23:49 Oh yes I see it.Thanks,
Author: alukim, 26-01-2012 23:39 to Kommanche there is a hidden artifact near by ;-)
Author: Kommanche (Athens), 26-01-2012 22:05 How to reach Bilbo I am at the very beginning. With Frodo I can not reach the prison which Bilbo is kept. I do not have summon boat.
Author: Borislav Andreev (Bulgaria Ruse), 26-01-2012 20:30 Sutck I killed Smaug and found Gimli... and don't have an idea what to do :(
Author: wura (israel), 26-01-2012 18:04 stuck again i killed witch king 3, green player and took osgilliath... dont know what 2 do now
Author: vallex (Bulgaria), 26-01-2012 16:53 Jokes The new version of the map that you can download, you can start a new game and play with Gandalf before he landed at the port of the Grey Havens. There are jokes that will make you smile
Author: vallex (Bulgaria), 26-01-2012 16:43 Re: Comments I am glad that you liked the map.
1. You don't need to kill the Balrog. Intelligence - I mean artifice.
2. I know - some battles too easy, this is weakness of the map, but I try to make gameplay dependent on diplomacy. If any army did not join - the game becomes very difficult
3. some map details not well handled and some sceneries too tough and sharp to watch - I try to hinder the player in finding a way or artifact or keymaster tent. I tried to build a real labyrinth
4. the Magic Tower icon and many others I uploaded in latest version of the map. You can download it. The images are in the file H3sprite.lod, but they realy are not used by map editor. In the new version 3.0 I will try to bring more jokes by changing icons and terrain objects
5. Dark Lord has no particular relevance to the scenario. You can kill him when you want. In the original story he pursued Frodo on the road to Bree. In the scenario I envisaged it to return to the dark tower of Minas Morgul and he be killed in end of the game when he will become much stronger
6. I know that there's more to be done on the map to make it more fun or more challenging. With your help it can become better
Sorry for my bad english
Author: Aeris Quamarine (China), 26-01-2012 15:36 Comments Wow, I haven't read the novel nor watched the movie of LOTGs, but Legolas is very handsome, ^_^
such a pity that all heroes do not have biographies, an great epic map shouldn't be like this
sometimes it makes me exhausted, such as getting through the labyrinth, and sometimes I almost forget the Ring of Magi, so I've spent ten mins in finding the cape of conjung... shameful, and after I kill the dragon master with many black and azure, I almost lost the way
Now I'm dealing with the ancient flame monster, 9000 phoenixes and archdevils. Intelligence? Now my main general Gandolf has only 20-30 ADPK, 1000+ spell points, hordes of archangels and 1000+ enchanters and sharpshooters. No frenzy, disrupting ray and force field, most importantly Orb of Vulnerability, or blind and berserk can be cast to phoenixes. I think I may use Clone bug to make my archangels disappear, then berserk to kill phoenixes, but Implosion so many archdevils to death is really disturbing...
I've spent three hours totally on it and tomorrow I shall finish it and then go to school, thanks author
Most importantly, this map is very good, but a little not satisfactory from perfect top. Such as some sceneries too tough and sharp to watch, and some map details not well handled, some battles too easy, some too repeatent, some too troublesome. but still good map
^_^
Author: Coyote (Athens,Greece), 26-01-2012 13:54 Like Qin I just start it Aeris
i'll let you know
Author: Aeris Quamarine (China), 26-01-2012 12:22 Also a correction The pcx files only replace the hero portraits, but I wonder how the Magic Tower icon appear on the map?
I only know you can use wog editor to make sth look like another thing. But does the original H3 has the icon of the starting Magic Tower(witch's hut) near Gandolf?
Author: Aeris Quamarine (China), 26-01-2012 12:17 Question This map is not very tough but interesting, though I have a question:
I let Gandolf kill the Dark Lord (666 black knight, cosuming my thirteen minutes), but then I notice the rest of Cloak of Undead King and I assume he cannot die and should escape via the purple gate, right? If I kill him in advance, what would happen, does it matter?
And also to Coyote from Greece, I want to know, what you would say if you play my Qin the Supreme, Where the Beauty, and Uprising by Hans C. yes, it's an invitation
They are the top three maps of me,and I wonder if I would consider this map the top four after I finish it.
thanks
Author: Coyote (Athens,Greece), 26-01-2012 10:59 Like Excellent map Finished it
the best map i've played the last 20 years
1.Search carefully
2.Keep notes (or else you'll get lost)
3.Use ALL the heroes skills
4.You also must know all the artifact combinations,and the use of them
(for example Admirals hut gives hero the ability to cast summon boat spell)
EVERY THING YOU NEED IS ON THE MAP
Enjoy the game
Author: Aeris Quamarine (China), 26-01-2012 10:33 Lord of Rings V2.1 --- masterpiece Long time I haven't found such a map
The pcx files must replace sth not only hero portrait but also map objects, for the magic tower is actually witch's hut, enchanters' hollow is hatched hut indeed, etc.
The first battle teaches me sth: if you cast basic slow when the Enchanters' first expert slow still exists, its effect will be longer due to Ring of the Magi and still at expert level of Enchanters.
Its scenery looks like my Qin the Supreme, well-done Vallex, congratulations
difficulty suitable for it, neither too easy nor too hard, well-balanced
it can be inferred that map has been carefully designed, I don't know it's done by the previous version author or Vallex you add it, but after all, good and interesting map
Author: vallex (Bulgaria), 26-01-2012 05:55 Re:Missing Artifacts... 1. Shackles of war is not required nowhere;
2. elemental tomes (tomes of magic probably) are hidden. First two tomes are close to Osgiliath, third tome is in Numenor (star island)
3. dark lord is in minas morgul (probably:). close to the town is the quest guard who ask for him.
Author: Juampi (Uruguay), 26-01-2012 05:39 Missing Artifacts... Where can i get Shackles of war and where can i get the elemental tomes? im stucked. I took a look at the map and the hero which is after the Guard who asks for SOW has it lol. Can u help me? Thanks
Also i have 2 quests missing which may resolve this but i cant remember where i havo to go. "Defeat dark lord for Genieveve" Where is she??? and "Defeat dark lord to open the gate" What gate? i cant remember the place. THNX
