The last stand(The Black Gate)

[Saurons_puppet]

I,ve created the final battle from the movie.In this attle there is no way you can win with the good team,so you will have to draw.The battle takes 14 minutes.When you are in the battle menu,if you select gondor or first mordor,the armies wount be there,because i've added the portrait of Aragorn and Ji-Indur.Good luck!

i played as Mordor and as Gondor and, indeed, it's nearly impossible to win as Gondor/Rohan. If you want to make a real Lore game then you're totally in except the fact that in the books (and the film), each army is devided on two different hills, and of course there is still a big gate to make (if that's possible).
But if you want to make that game more attractive, you have to make that battle very hard winning for the good forces but not nearly impossible (if it's not already impossible).

Tanks for the tip!I will remake the battle!

How about a count-down timer until victory for the good factions.

[axnsan]

Yeah. If you make them defenders (yeah I know, BUT THEY WERE THE ONES ATTACKING!!21231!!!), when the timer goes up they win.

[A1_Unit]

Do you want the battle to be more realistic or do you prefer being wiped out?

[.eXorZ!s7*]

well... if you watch the movie or read the book, The good armies are attacking. But once they are at the gate, it simply opens and release a large bunch of Orcs and other scams like that and attackers become defenders. They stand on their hills in order t give frodo some time. So the count down is obviously a good choice. If it is possible

[A1_Unit]

The battle is basicly a sally by Sauron against the suicidal good army.

[Saurons_puppet]

So,does anyone know how to put the timer?

[A1_Unit]

No but maybe something in descr_battle...

[Saurons_puppet]

Yes,i changed the battle,but when i trie to play with Ji-Indur,the game crashes!Maybe i will re-creeate the battle when v 1.2 will be released!By the way,when it will be released?

[axnsan]

Have you made gondor the defending alliance?

[Saurons_puppet]

Have you made gondor the defending alliance?

Yes!I've added another faction:The silvan elves,because they were in the book.

Besides Ji -indur's team,the other factions works.

[evinmulligan]

The elves weren't in the book. On one hill it was standard gondorians and maube som rangers, on the other it was rohirrim and a few dol amroth units.

[Saurons_puppet]

Ok,i added the dunadains,they were in the book.Now you can play with every faction!

[axnsan]

I approve of this battle.

[.eXorZ!s7*]

i just play the new version and it's get more and more awesome!! you just neead to add the two hills!! and if i were you i would put the mordor army already nearly surrounding the good forces. If you see in the movies and i think also in the book, the Mordor armies ares trying to surround the good armies and when the attack is begining, they had already formed a sort of "U" arround the good armies. I think if you add the two hills the game will be already Epic!

Edit: oh! i forgot to say that the Good armies' AI is a real piece of **** .

[Mister Awesome]

hi im a bit new to adding these battles can someone say were i put the files?

Not to be nitpicky, but just a suggestion; In the book, Sauron had lots of other troops (I am pretty sure they were men, something tells me Easterlings as opposed to Haradrim) hidden in the hills around the gate, so that once the gates opened and orcs came streaming out, they came from behind and surrounded the alliance.
