A Good vs. Evil conflict in Middle Earth. 8 players on both sides, each with a unique set of units with various abilities, and complex interactions between them.

This map (v3) is a continuation of Battle for Arda (v2). Currently in development. This is an early beta version.

The map can't yet be downloaded from the game. For now, you can download it from GitHub.

The in-game game notes are outdated at the moment. I think I explained mostly everything in my video updates (#7, #8 and #9 should cover most of it), though this obviously isn't the greatest arrangement.

The map is mostly playable, but the balance isn't very good. The unit abilities and related mechanics still need some more thought. Quite a few new units will still need to be added.

My current plan is to periodically release smaller updates as I implement new stuff.
