This is a complicated map that recreates the battle of Amon Hen from the first Movie. This map really requires you to think as your moves are limited. You can only lose two units and the fellowship is made up of 8 after the fall of Gandalf at Moria. This map requires quick thinking and fast unit placement. You must hold out the attacks and give Sam and Frodo a chance to escape. If you do not hold out the enemy lines, then Frodo will die. This is a hard map, i myself have not beaten yet, is so hard not to lose more than 2 guys against many Orcs, some will find it easy, this is best played on Normal and Hard. If you are someone like NAT you may want to try Very hard, but i recomend for players like me to play it on Normal first. It is a hard map and something new coming from me. Tell me what you think and review this. Version 2 now has archers from lothlorien arriving, but you need to move them quickly as they were bein followed by Urukai. You must not lose 8 units or else the map is lost. Use the archers in the best possible way. The scenery has been improved and is now more like Amon Hen, steep hills and such. The map is hard with over 40 enemy coming at you, but it is possible. Best played in Normal but hard is fun too. All for now.
This was an OK map. It was way to short though. Maybe you could add your own spin to it by making elven archers from Lorien Appear on your map (Good Bandits).
The map design needs a little bit of work. Amon hen is a pretty steep hill that goes all the way down to the banks of the Anduin. The other side was completely flat. This is where Amon Lhaw is. (The Hill of Hearing, Amon Hen Being the hill of seeing) Maybe you could use stone walls to make that stone structure and the seat of seeing at the top of the hill.
Overall, this map is short but sweet

This was a fairly good map. You did a good job on the story, but as zerotide said, the map was too flat. Try again, and mabey you could make it a little better.

I throught it was a good map allround but, it took me all of 2 mins to win to complete without doing any thing at all. i wouldn't try again it's to hard to replicate on strong hold i was also strugling to what was the hobbits. and which one of the fellowship carries a pole-arm (eg. the Pikeman) other than that i thought that the map was very creative, well balanced and was of good designed.
