Middle Earth: Battle For Arda - Official Thread

@alkexr said in Large Middle Earth - official thread:
@hepps Is that reference to the Two Trees intentional? I like it.
And the reference to the seven clans, with the brightest being the Longbeards? Nice and deep symbolism.Everything I do is deeply rooted in symbolism... making it much more enjoyable when people notice.
-
@hepps Flags look really cool. Only thing that jumps out is that Angmar and Orcs are a bit similar in color/style.

@hepps Don't hold yourself back with the Legend until you run out of space. But don't spend too much time designing a unit ability list or something, at least not until units are finalized. Which will be soon.

@redrum Yup my feelings aswell, but its good enough for the cowboys I date.
Working on changing the Orc on a little from a colour standpoint since I really like the Angmar flag.
-
@alkexr Was just going to a Title and credits like the one I posted previously.
then later you can let me know what other game details you want included and we can redesign it at that point.
-
What about these options...
or...
-
@hepps I'd vote for option #1.
-
Download version 1.3.1
which is a somewhat hacky version that features the new relief tiles by @Hepps alongside with the old ugly hobbits. Contains the minimum amount of gameplay changes that was conveniently achievable. Should be playable, but very likely unbalanced. No effort will be put into polishing this version (except bugfixes maybe). -
@alkexr Nope....
Get an error.

@alkexr Looks like all the territories you added are missing from the map you uploaded.

@hepps Err... 1. It works for me 2. The map does contain the centers for these territories.
I think you will need to remove the old version and unzip the new one. TA must be trying to load the map from the old folder.
-
@alkexr Perhaps I will try that.
-
@hepps No idea. I can't get it to work.
Figured it out. Had to rename the folder... the way you had it labelled was not compatible with what was inside the XML.
-
@alkexr Love the new sounds... Looks like an entirely new game.
-
@hepps Can't help myself now...
Added Frodo's sword "Sting" as the cursor, reworked some of the Saruman units and added terrain icons for the menu.
I have a serious addiction.
-
@hepps said in Large Middle Earth - official thread:
reworked some of the Saruman units
Don't work on unit images now. Saruman will have dunlending wildmen, half-orcs and warg riders, but will not have axemen, snaga skirmishers and orc marauders. Uruk swordsmen will be replaced with uruk warriors. Don't waste too much time on the old unit sets, they are in the process of being overhauled. If all goes well, I will be finished in two weeks or so.

-
@alkexr Like I said... I have a problem. Was just screwing around wasn't really intending on continuing on.
-
@alkexr Here is the cursor....
If you want to add it to the map just drop it into the "misc" folder.
-
hi alkexr, and all lotr lovers!
i am experienced in playing triplea-maps since ages and you created a great map! Thank you so much. i am really happy to found it. not only that i love the lord of the rings story. its really a great map to play triplea. i needed a long time to understand unit abilities and territory effects but i think i am getting used to most of it. i am still not sure if i understand unseen rigth and formation but still learning.
i have a question if this is a bug or not: 2-3 hit units not repair in every round. i choosed repair at the end of the turn. so the should repair after placing units? but my angmar dragon repairs a round later?i am using MAC if this is important. Also i ask myself whey no fleet is involved, since the story included some. But anyway. thx a lot!

In Large Middle Earth 1.2, dragons and oliphants have 3 hitpoints, but they only repair 1 hp each turn. So if they take 2 damage, they need 2 turns to fully repair.
Also i ask myself whey no fleet is involved, since the story included some.
There is a map option called "Sea Units", tick that before starting the game and then you have sea units. They are turned off by default because there is a bug related to them that I couldn't fix. But it will be fixed in the new version, which is coming soon.
