Hey,was up.
Kulade here
I bet your sick of Helm's Deep maps... ...too bad.
Battle of Hornburg/Helm's Deep 1.0
By Kulade
The pic of the map is in the zip file, but I didn't post it. If you really want it you'll have dl it, buddy!
THE MAP:
--------
*Movie-based, 400x400.
*More troops than anyother Helm's Deep map that I've played to the date.
*Rohirimm caome out in some number of months, (didn't count), the "some rangers have returned to our cause" thing poppes up when they do.
*Borrowed ideas from previous Helm's Deeps maps like the ones by WarLord and Talos, but most of the map is my own, otherwise why would i put a map on the internet if it's the same as another?
STORY:
------
Rohan is at war. Wild men burn the country side while Isengard builds in numbers. No sooner of the arival of Gandalf did the citizens of Edoras, the capital of Rohan, make way for Helm's Deep. Nearly devoured by Wargs, the people make refuge in the great city in which Helm of Rohan hid in time of need many years ago. Aragorn son of Arathorn, thought to be dead arrives hours after with news, and army other no less than 10,000 is marching for Hornburg.
Theoden, King of Rohan, orders all men and boys to ready for battle and forms a rag-tag force of 300 old men and children. The troops are put in what armor they have and put to the Deeping Wall and the keep. Night falls.
Suddenly a horn echoes through the mountains. An army of Rivendel, sent from Elrond has come to Rohan. Still greatly over powered and outnumbered, the defenders of the west look somewhat confidently on the torches, flags and spears of the incoming Uruk-Hai. Thunder and lighting strike at once and rain moistens the ground. It seems like it's all over now.
BUGS:
----
*Don't play on very hard. Ai gets stupid.
*Nearly all the other difficulty levels are the same: nearly immposible; I'll balance it later, but the numbers of Uruk-Hai are enormous even on easy.
HINTS:
------
*Always keep your men-at-arms together.
*Try to battle in tight areas like the hole that will form in the wall or the causeway in front of the gate.
*Use the horsemen in the keep to defend the Deeping Wall and the Gate, but watchout for crossbowman fire.
*Eliminate siege towers as fast as possible.
*When the Rohirimm come,don't make a direct assault, instead, lead them to the keep and let the archers and other troops take out the enemy first.
*Try not to lose the entrance to the caves, if so, troop moral drastically decreases.
*Don't do anything stupid.
Report any bugs, or just keep them to yourself and whine about them.
Peace out! Kulade. |

Playability:The map was very fun and addicting to play.
Balance:Waayyy to hard I was thinking of giving it a 1 but if the cavalry got out just a little bit sooner you could win. Also If I play it on any level I still lose.
Creativity:Since this is a LOTR map I probably would of given it a 3 but the little thing with the crossbowman on it was really cool.
Map Design:VERY VERY GOOD!!!
Story:It was good but you should maybe give a conversation between maybe Aragon and Theoden or something. It just lacked a little.
If you just Balance your Balance it would be a very good map. |

Playability: 4
(Quite difficult)
Balance: 4
(not enough defending troops)
Creativity: 4
(The artist inside is showing)
Map Design: 4
(The castle is rather weak, Helms deep is supposed to be much bigger)
Story/Instructions: 4
(Based from a movie so story is already known)
Additional Comments: I doubt anyone will ever get the castle right. This is as close as it gets to matching the movies action. Nice job.

Luke,
You made an awsome map. Though you might want to make it a little easier to win. [Edited on 10/11/05 @ 08:19 AM]
