So while I wanted Player 1 to spawn at Hobbiton, they instead spawn at the City of Corsairs (current spawn # positions listed below). Re-Order Spawn Points: There is another bug with the editor that causes placed spawn points to default to certain numbers after the map is saved. Once functionality has been added allowing for ten, I'll update the map accordingly. The only potential issue is that discovering landmarks gives a small amount of fame, which could lead to a bit of a gap between people in more detailed areas like Rohan, and less detailed areas like Rhun.ġ0-Player Support: The map editor currently only supports adding spawns for up to eight players. Once this has been addressed in a patch, I would like to add landmarks for all the named features in Middle-Earth. Future PlansĪdd Landmarks: Currently, adding named landmarks (rivers, forests, mountain ranges, etc.) causes the map to crash when loading. Please feel free to leave feedback for what I could improve, as I've put over 30 hours worth of work into this map and would love for it to be as enjoyable as possible. And at the end of the day, this is still a map that is meant to be played, so everything has been constructed with the intention of still providing the core Humankind experience. I had to take a good degree of artistic liberty with the many resources that are neither mentioned nor have a believable analogue in the world (e.g., Uranium), as well as with creating the terrain for less-documented areas such as Khand and Rhun. Additionally, some resources and points of interest have been placed to represent many locations in the world, such as sage (pipe-weed) at the location of Longbottom, or in areas where they would have been harvested, such as coal (charcoal) at the edge of Fangorn forest next to Isengard.

Each tile represents roughly 25 miles (~40 KM) of travel, and is as accurate to published works as can be while still being playable. The Battle for Middle-Earth covers an area spanning from Tol-Fuin in the West to the Sea of Rhun in the East, and from the Northern Wastes in the North to Near Harad in the South. This map differentiates itself from those already published with detailed, realistic, and scale-accurate terrain. Hello everyone, I figured I might as well throw my own hat into the LOTR ring for this competition as well.
