This is about Saurons fortress,Mount Doom,but in Elven Name,it IS to be played in attacking mode mainly,it isnt easy i dont think,and have fun and enjoy! :)
This is an interesting map layout and design and does provide some entertainment.
The map plays out very easily and is fairly well balanced as the attacker. Playability gets the extra points for this.
Since the author does ask that the map be played out as the attacker, I would have to say the map plays out nicely. I ended up winning on my first go through with a 60 percent troop loss and think it could be a little more challenging.
The map itself lacks the stuff needed to make it very creative. A standard castle design with very little in the way of imagination. Still a good play however.
Once again, in the design of the map, I found very limited use of the tools provided in the editor. With a little bit more work on the design of the map itself, I think the creativity would also increase. A need for trees, rocks and rolling hills is always a plus.
The story itself was very limited and I would want to see a little more put into the story line before I rated this up very high.
All in all, the map plays out well as a siege. The need for personal touches and some detail added into the landscaping and story would make this one much better. I would still recomend others play it out though.

I think this was a very good map and it was definately worth playing! I however have taken this into account and have created a new Barad-dur map with a more in-depth story and instructions.
