    Default Bottle-neck terrain

    The whole point of the War of the Ring was the terrible odds of those who stood up to Mordor, right? So how about the terrain having lots of big rocks, gorges and valleys that create bottle-necks and allow the player to have a heroic last-stand battle when horribly outnumbered?

    Yes, in the regions with the type of terrain to allow that (east emnet for example).

    the terrains must be realistic

    East emnet is full of gullies and trenches, I'd love to fight there. (It's a must for custom battle maps!)

    @ Mithrandir the Istari: you can get custom battle maps to load in certian spots on the campaign map so it'll be awesome there too

    @Code_Knight: Well I know I'm the one who spent hours on the battle editor last knight doing "stuff" can you test if "stuff" is working yet Code_Knight

    I was only being sneaky because Code_Knight closed a thread when I mentioned the "stuff" so I don't want to get this one closed too

    but if you got the money I got the stuff and you can't see the stuff if you don't got the money

    Hey I had an Idea Minas Morgul was a gateway into mordor so could there be like two moutain regions around Minas Morgul but none in front or behind it, that would make Minas Morgul a strategic castle to take.

    I like it. The Black Gate (or Morannon) should be the other way into Mordor.

    well then lets hope there is a way to make that work on the campaign map as well as in historical battles but so far I doubt we can make custom cities work on the campaign but we can have custom landscape still none the less so long as no settlement exists

    What we mean is that Minas Morgul and The Black Gate should be so close to the mountains that you can't get into mordor without taking one of them. No custom cities needed.
