Yup

[Bercor]

Can you make that without making all the other settlements' walls unbreakable ? At least in MTW2 it's impossible, so I would assume it's the same in RTW.

Well, yeah, sounds abut right; I'm sure you might come up with something regarding the settlements and he destructible/ indestructible buildings.

[Aradan]

What I was implying above is that we have already come up with it. Othram is indestructible, while all other walls in the mod are not.

RTW can do quite a few things that M2TW cannot, though in this case I suspect indestructible walls on a case-by-case basis is also possible in M2 if someone knows what he's looking for.

Praise the Master.

Great to hear, a small but important part of your great work.

I don't want to be nitpicking, but shouldn't the Hallows be situated on the hills 'spine' and Rath Dínen leading down from the fifth level? I always imagined MT like in Wynn Fonstad's maps or Nasmith's drawings.

[Aradan]

Not sure why it has to be on the ridge of the hill... It starts at the 6th level and the tombs etc side is on the same height as the city's 5th level.

I could be wrong, I don't have the game open atm and I don't go into battle-map mode all that often, but I think we're ok accuracy-wise.

[Thangaror]

Well, Nasmith's and Fonstad's depictions has shaped my imagination of MT. First time I read the books I didn't really get it.
It might be that you're quite correct lore-wise, and it's just another interpretation/imagination of the text. I'd have to read the relevant passages again.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Isn't the lowest wall made out of the same material as Orthanc, which was some black stone? If so, the upper image can't be lore-accurate.


PS: Any new, intriguing images in the pipeline?

[Bercor]

This image is basically the same but more lore-accurate:

I was looking at the campaign map pictures on page 25 and I have to say they are very good.
Mordor looks much bleaker and the model for Minas Tirith is beautiful and really stands out on the map.
Is there a full sized picture of the campaign map(i checked moddb)?

Ah, I was thinking of the minimap Aradan had posted on pg. 9 of this thread and which showed the political situation in the mod - but it looks like it's down. There have been some changes since then, anyway.

Aradan posted one much later too, when Chiefdom of Northern Rhûn was revealed, but it is also lost. However, it can still be seen on the first page of DoM Gameplay Mechanics and Features Overview screenshots, or enlarged here.

Are there any new pics in the pipeline to shorten the wait?

[Feanaro Curufinwe]

Ask, and you shall receive.

Wow, such nice unit cards ...

Yeah, the WIPs are awesome.

FATW Unit WIP is my favourite unit in the mod, personally. Absolutely brutal in melee.
