    Default TATW on a european map

    Hey guys i was wondering if anyone has thought about putting the TATW factions on a vanilla map, or if anyone knows of any submods that concern this? Im not particularly good with computers or modding at all so i have no idea how to do it myself? I know this ruins the lore but i thought it would be fun to play...

    Thanks alot in advance

    It would be cool! But then is the question, which faction is which country. North Africa --> Harad and Turkey --> Rhun are ok by me. But the rest is difficult.

    @ map
    Stil don't know why we Dutch are the gobo's! We don't even have mountains!!!

    In Soviet Mordor RING MELTS YOU!... Yeah that's all I've got in the overused jokes department .

    But I like that map its somewhat accurate as to where the factions would exist in Europe except maybe Rohan and Fangorn and the elves of mirkwood.

    Or maybe the normal countries left to themselves and the factions of middle earth pop up out of the Mediterranean with their own little island to govern.

    The other map is rubbish. And The Shire is anywhere but London!

    so you're gonna place Rohan in region which is almost completely covered by deep forests?

    In that map Rohan is in Southern Germany, which may not be geographically perfect but it's not that bad. The alps below define the mountainous southern border (the white mountains) quite well. And the nearby forests of Fangorn, etc are well represented.

    "The landscape of the Southern Germany region is often that of scarp and vale, with the eroded sandstone and limestone scarps facing to the northwest. The lowland terraces of the Rhine, Main, and Neckar river valleys, with their dry and warm climate, are suitable for agriculture and are highly productive. "
    http://countrystudies.us/germany/77.htm

    and Rohan is most definitely Germanic.

    It would be interesting, but not for me I just don't see the point in it. Why not have medieval factions in ME instead?

    A mod like that would take some time to be well thought out, and as the map suggests, balance for the AI would be a HUGE problem. What's Numenor going to do? What about the Shire? The Elves will attack Gondor and Arnor, and many other oddities. It would work much better the other way around, with medieval coming to ME

    EDIT: Referring to the first map, the 2nd looks quite good

    well, can you imagine Rohan in Western or Central europe? clearly there are no steppes ( or not that big ones) so surely rohan -> Black sea plains ( on vanilla map Kiev and such)
