The siege of Cair Andros

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I've edited a battle map to fit an event unseen in the movie:

Morannon troops storm the citadel of Cair Andros on the 10th March 3019.
Eventhough it is not mentionned in the book, it is entirely possible for Isengard troops to be present since the destruction of Isengard is only 7 days earlier. So it's not strictly correct according to lore but a double front attack makes it harder for gondor.

The map features Cair Andros with a double ring defense, no settlement, Isengard attacking from one side of the map, mordor attacking from the other; objective: kill gondorian captain. Gondor in between, defending; objective: rout ennemy armies.





















The thing is, i do not know exactly how to upload correctly files...
so i hope it works well. files have to be placed in the programmfiles/sega/MedievalIITW/mods/Third_age/data/world/map/custom
... at least i think so. if some people could confirm or give the right place.
if I did not upload those files correctly, could someone tell me how to do it?

known bugs: soldiers might walk through some buildings
there is a "tree bug" with the editor. I think there is no solution to this problem: some images posted show the first wall with/without trees with the editor: they always come back in the battle itself.
gondorian army is a bit too strong, so you might want to edit it.

Have a good game!

(hope my english isn't too bad for a frenchman... )

You may modify any of my maps.

[The Holy Pilgrim]

This is great!

+rep!

[desean]

seems cool

[Chyeaaaa111]

Very nice. Maybe this will move us one step further to custom settlements in the Grand Campaign.

P.S. I really liked the pics of your Minas Tirith too

[Amon Amarth 930]

Really Awesome!
Its cruel that it´s not yet possible, to add this to the campaign. :/

[glassakias]

cool. i was planning to upload a custom battle at dol guldur, with the elves of lorien and mirkwood sieging and a mordor force defending. i had issues with reinforcements though. stupid thranduil would not move his army when he arrived, leaving celeborn to do all the dirty work

[Killerbee]

looks great, but thumbnails are soooo stupid to work with.

could you post larger images (but in spilers) in the future pleas e?

[Red_Devil]

well i'll try as i said, i'm not excellent with uploading stuff...

but does the map work?

[Shocked]

I think im in love with you

[Red_Devil]

well, I guess it works then...

Would some people give some advice for this:
- Did some people already make some white buildings?
- I think it's a bit too high... :


here's the link to the minas tirith album:

I had too work with a cathedral. some people won't approve...
I think making it so high will give gondor a chance if i put 7 whole stacks for mordor one for gondor...
the problem is i do not have enough space in front of the gate: the little red line is really close to it so I guess i'll have to do an "after grond" scenario.
it's gonna take time, and I'm not really satisfied with the "white city's" look... but haven't found any white paint brush in the tools.

plz comments !(for Cair Andros if some managed to download it and for this minas tirith issue)

[Arágion]

looking good

[irishviking5]

your map looks very good. is it just a custome map or would the download put the castle into the campaign

[Red_Devil]

well, it's just a "historical battle". I do not know if it is possible to put it in the campaign, but i guess it would be pretty hard... I think it has already been asked, perhaps in 2.0 ? if the moders want to use the Cair Andros map I would be more than proud , but for minas tirith, the map is not ready yet and I am not as satisfied with it than for my first map, but i'll try to finish it and if it works post it on TWC.

[traxx91]

Works!
But you have to put it in this folder:

programmfiles/sega/MedievalIITW/mods/Third_age/data/world/maps/battle/custom

[Red_Devil]

ok, thanks for the info!
hope you enjoy it.

[TheArtfulDodger]

Your maps are amazing, im in awe!
Just 1 thing, the white tree is ofset slightly to one side (can't remember which)!
I know how picky that is but, OCD has it's ways

Anyhow, brilliant maps

[Shocked]

Works!
But you have to put it in this folder:

programmfiles/sega/MedievalIITW/mods/Third_age/data/world/maps/battle/custom

So if I do that, then can I play on campaign?! :O

btw, couldnt you use a temple looking building
(a big one) for top of minas tirith?

[glassakias]

So if I do that, then can I play on campaign?! :O

you mean a custom campaign battle map?
if so, don't you think it's too easy? the team would had done this since 1.0 if it was that easy...
no, it will be a historical battle

[Red_Devil]

no, I don't think it's possible. you would have to code something in the campaign script, but I do not know how to do such things...

anyway, while working on the minas tirith map, the editor crashed and I had not saved the map for a long time. i'm putting it in standby for now, and just started an "Isen ford" map, with the scenario from The two towers, before the attack on helms deep.

Also planning to create an amon sul map when the new arnor untis will be released

[glassakias]

i think this should be moved in the guides section
