    Default How to make an epic background for Osgiliath?

    Is there a simple way to make an epic background for this city. With minas tirith visible in the east side, and the ash mountains, with the fire of mount doom (simple red color in the sky), visible in the west side.
    So this would look like in the movies?

    I'm talking about something simple, were you just have to copy past minas tirith and the ash mountain for the backround and put some red color in the sky above the ash mountains?

    PS : Note that I have underlined simple to put emphasis on the world. I know how modding can be hard, and I know almost nobody would have the time to do this if it was complicated.

    If there was, I'm sure it would have been implemented.

    You could say that for all the things that will come in 4.0, 5.0 ... And that requires simple modding.

    There is some kind of limit to the backgrounds available, know it's been up for discussion before. The draw back has been considered to great to make use of one such rare 'slot'.
    Perhaps it was also so there even is a risk that background would be used by the game elsewhere across the map (though that one I'm not sure about at all).

    I see... Thanks for the answer anyway +rep you

    About background I have another question : I saw some COW (call of warhammer) videos where the player is fighting in the mountains : the background really makes you feel you are fighting in mountains because there are high peak and huge denivelation everywere. However in TaTW, when i'm fighting in the blue mountain for exemple (sieging a dwarven town), there is only some tiny hill in the background and you don't really have the feeling of being in the mountains. Is there a way to have a more mountainous background in mountainous region.

    You seem to be new to mountain fighting. After some 165489432198731 battles in the mountains, i think you'll at least 50% change your mind.
    I don't like mountains and i had to fight a lot there... And it looks pretty much as mountains ^^ The Misty Mountains will be your thing

    Which files does one need to modify to change the background on the battle map?
