[Request] Mapmodification, No entrance to Gonder in the south

[tesb]

Hello,

i was recently playing Gondor and while i could secure my eastern border with Mordor i was deeply annoyed to find out, that Harad can enter my lands through the south on a land route. (i don't mind naval invasions)

Is there a way to eleminate that route, or at least put a ford there?

Thanks in advance,
tesb.

I agree actually. harad, as Mordor, had to take the Osgiliath road to get itself into Gondor lands. But this should not exclude naval invasions of Umbar corsairs.

I can eliminate that route, and I can put a fort there. Which one do you want me to do?

[King Kong]

The land-bridge there has a very good reason, because without it, Harad will do almost nothing. I have tested it very long without the land bridge, but the AI just can't manage this, so I decided to add it in the last days before the release.
The ability to make naval invasions does also not compensate a missing land-bridge.

Anyway, if someone wants to do your requested mod, feel free to make it...

I agree with your opinion, King Kong, I think it will just mess up with Harad. Still if thats their wish, Im here to help.

By the way, do I need to ask jan permission if I will upload the modded map, or its fine just uploading it?

[axnsan]

it is not jan who did the map. king kong did it
jan just put in game screenshots from the map togheter in a big map that was intented for reference by the player.

[Skeleton Of The West]

Oh sorry for that, thought jan did the map.

Do I need to ask for permission from King Kong to upload the modded map?

Well, a ford would be fine with me. I would even be fine if generals would be able to construct such forts (at the moment they can only build watchtowers)

[Hellenikon]

What i´d like is the land bridge to me moved near Pelargir. IIRC there was an important pass there. Maybe some lore expert can help us to clarify, but i surely remember that at the mouth of the Anduin there is no mention of any pass at all. A stone fort could be added on the southern bank to help gondor defend the pass.

[Oddball_E8]

arent landbridges easily stopped by a ship or two?

[Skeleton Of The West]

Because its a river, ships cant get to the river pass point, so it cant block passing.

Does somebody know a command in the ingame consule that gives me the x and y of the mouse cursor?

Yes, just write on the console : show_cursorstat

Thank you Bucefalo, now I will make those forts .

[Skeleton Of The West]

Edit: I made a mod for these forts. Look at it here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=266101.

[tesb]

yeah i had 4 ships just blocking this entrance and it did not help

[tesb]

thank you very much

[Skeleton Of The West]

Oh forgot to attack the descr_strat.txt file . I will do it now.

Edit: Done. I fixed it.
