lord of the rings storyline

[Dgkfadomo777]

It would be cool to make a lord of the rings storyline, age of strategy has some lord of the rings maps but it does not have orcs and goblins like age of fantasy has. Plus you can put spells and magic units you could not do with age of strategy. Overall a new storyline would be easier than making a lord of the rings app/project, and if someone did make lord of the rings strategy the units would be kind of similar to age of strategy variants

[balint]

Yeah, Lord of the rings is a great idea for a fantasy game (I am a Lotr fan:D )

[Dgkfadomo777]

Would you be interested. In making that an app or a storyline

[balint]

A lord of the rings app, woukd take a lot of posibilities from AoF. So I think we could make several storylines based on lotr.

[Dgkfadomo777]

Ok sounds good but do you think there should be special unique units like gandalf or sauron with spells

[balint]

Yeah,
I think these should be good:
Gandalf
Aragorn
The fellowship
Sauron
Balrog
Mouth of Sauron
Faramir
Theoden
Saruman
Caleborn, Isildur (for a start map where the ring is cut off from Sauron's hand)

So far I think of these

[Dgkfadomo777]

Yeah how do we start it

[balint]

Well, I have a LOT of ideas about this campaign. But we should make a campaign based on the story first.
1.Siege of Mordor (older one)
2.Battle of weathertop
3.O the way to Moria
4.The mines of Moria
5.The fellowship's breaking (where they separate)
6.Siege of helm's deep (or siege of hornburg)
6.2. Siege of isengard
7.ambush in Ithilia.
8.Siege of Osgiliath
9.Siege of Minas Tirith (part 1)
10.Siege of Mibas Tirith (part 2)
11.Battle of the pelenor fields.
12. The siege of mordor


I think of these at first. We should add a few (2-6) other. And after the story-campaign, we could make an alternative strory were the evil is the victoriuos.

I've been working on the LotR storyline for Age of strategy. And i was able to make 6 maps before the holiday's begon. Unfortunately, I'm not on my pc for the next couple of weeks, so i don't have time to finish it now.
I'm already planning to make the LotR storyline in the fantasy version, because it fits better here. But there have to be some special units + their stats.
Like balint already mentioned, we will need all 9 fellowships members, Saruman, Sauron, Ent (trees), Eagles, Nazgul, and maybe siege towers for the battle of minas tirith.

The following maps are probably necessary for a LotR storyline, i've already made the maps that are bold. There are also a lot of battles in the hobbit, so maybe it's possible to make a seperate storyline too.
1 (escape from the shire)?
2 Weathertop
3 Moria
4 Uruk hai (seperation of the fellowship)
5 knights of rohan are attacking the Orc camp
6 Wargs from isengard VS refugees to helmsdeep
7 Helmsdeep
8 Trees VS Isengard
9 Ithilia
10 Osgiliath
11 Minas tirith
12 Frodo and sam VS shelob
13 Mordor

And @balint, have you read the book "the silmarillion"?

[Dgkfadomo777]

Maybe we should wait until elves and dwarves come out.

[Dgkfadomo777]

And recruit people to start making the maps.

[draakjee]

You can also design the units by your self if you want.

No I did't read that book. I think these are good ideas. I think we should use the name of the castle (Hornburg) instead of the place.I recently saw a game for nintendo wii. It's name: Aragorn's quest. that would give a few ideas for the maps.

[patroid]

Hi
I was requested to design some units.
Here the first units.

patroid

[balint]

Nice.

just a few things:
(minor) at the edge of the blade of the uruk berserker thrlere are two spikes. And they use 2 sword
The pike of the pikemans were 2-3 man tall, so it would be good, if it overlaps the upper tile a bit.

[patroid]

Hi
All right i maybe start today to redesign.

Patroid

[balint]

Ok

Pleade make their shield a bit bigger, because it looks like their arm

[patroid]

Hi
Ok
patroid

[patroid]

Hi
Better?

patroid

[balint]

Yeah, It looks nice.

[draakjee]

They look good

[Stratego (dev)]

this last one (at bottom right) is awesome! only suggestion is: could be taller, to make him taller a bit than a human.

[Hardeep]

THIS IS WHY I WANTED TO PUT IN A NEW RACE, THE URUK-HAI!!!!!

[Stratego (dev)]

i think there will not be new race, they will be part of the orc race
(and please do not shout)

[Hardeep]

*inside voice* Rohan will Fall! The time of men has ended, the time of orc has begun!!

[balint]

Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Theoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day... a red day... ere the sun rises!
Ride now!... Ride now!... Ride! Ride to ruin and the world's ending
Death!
Death!
Death!
Forth, Eorlingas!!

[Hardeep]

Hold your ground! Hold your ground!

Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers,

I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.

A day may come when the courage of men fails,

when we forsake our friends

and break all bonds of fellowship,

but it is not this day.

An hour of wolves and shattered shields,

when the age of men comes crashing down,

but it is not this day!

This day we fight!!

By all that you hold dear on this good Earth,

I bid you stand, Men of the West!!!

[balint]

A new power is rising. Its victory is at hand. This night the land will be stained with the blood of Rohan. March to Helm's Deep. Leave none alive. TO WAR!

[Hardeep]

Theoden: So much death. What can men do against such reckless hate? 
Aragorn: Ride out with me. Ride out and meet them. 
Theoden: For death and glory. 
Aragorn: For Rohan. For your people. 
Theoden: The Horn of Helm Hammerhand will sound in the deep, one last time!
