TATW Unofficial patch 4.0

[Nastrael]

dont worry about ships leo thats more Dol Amroth or Pelargir's AO :p

[Nastrael]

How have you not played Osgiliath yet
Its an amazing city to attack or defend

Osgiliath is really really laggy for me in comparison to the other settlements like Minas Tirith and Edoras...i think its the water

[Bobz]

Very nice indeed

Just a question, whether or not Esgaroth is included into Third Age, would you plan on tweaking it based upon the version in The Hobbit? I'll imagine it'll look similar - it's always going to be a city on water built with wooden buildings, but it'll be nice to see it anyway.

[Thorïn II Oakenshield]

The picture you sent was my main inspiration and yes, the small guard house was included but then removed due to gameplay complications.

What complications ?

[Dutch-Balrog]

Things like AI pathfinding issues i think.

[Benox]

Are you intested in make a custom map for Pelargir?

Is that official in any way? I've never seen that before, but it looks very unnatural...

And yes I know, this is in a world with dragons and elves and mythical powers, but when you start having perfectly triangular shaped islands in a perfect triangular group, it just starts to look wrong.

Not to mention the AI would absolutely love that....

[Dutch-Balrog]

That would be a great challange for leo i think, pls do it and make us happy You are very good at this now.

[Rora Lion]

Whoa, Esgarot is a Huge step forward ... !!!

[brymht]

Where is the city center?

Mine has no lag what so ever and my system isn't exactly amazing. Have you got the patch installed which changes the water back to normal ?

[StSofiaWiseguy]

Lake-town! WHOA!!

[Enarec]

Esgaroth looks marvelous! Hope these will be implemented in the next release, the more custom settlements the better!

As far as one's observation goes, you can spot it's not natural
It was an estuary of Anduin- and then the Numenorean had some serious fun with cutting apart the landscape....
The 'left' is the main flow, and the middle island is cut from the 'right' island with canal all over the place.
I saw a similar painting of Pelargir with the triangular 'island' in the middle.

The makers could always shrink down the city and make it better.

[Black_Nebula]

Lake town is awsome looking, nice work

[Korcsa]

It is borderline feasible, Pelargir is on an estuary, so the land is likely made from sand, which can be cultivated rather easily in comparison to other areas, and thus could be shaped according to how the architects want it (see dubai as a real-life example), though this is admittedly Middle earth, and even the Numenoreans were not as technologically advanced as us.

[Morkern]

This work is simply astounding, can't wait to try i out!

[lolIsuck]

even the Numenoreans were not as technologically advanced as us.

They were able to build indestructable walls-_-
Don't ask me how though, how does one form a wall of undestroyable rock
Seems kinda hard to get the straight walls we see if you can't break parts of it.

Also, the Pelargir-structure doesn't seem that hard to make, humanity has created much more astounding things in a way more primitive state then the Numenoreans
