A re-textured and re-scripted version of NordicSoldiers 2004 map, of which I played extensively. DESYNCH ERROR FIXED 02/02/2014
Hello, if you're reading this you're literate meaning you can extract all the information necessary to guess what this map is...just kidding. Basically it's a remade version of NordicSoldier's "Movie Map". I'd like to say that I remade this map not because it wasn't enjoyable to play but because it was so different, fun and just generally great that it warranted a visual update so that the rest of it can be appreciated in its entirety.
The map features several locations in the following order:
There are a whole bunch of Screenshots viewable here - Forums.revora.net
There are a bunch of fancy cinematics throughout the level, but don't worry in comparison to the size of the map they don't slow you down or cause de-synch errors (provided your computer isn't super slow).
Each of the "Iconic" locations (Helms Deep e.t.c) contain a large scale battle each of which requires constant monitoring to ensure victory, communication within teams is important in this regard. Each battle also has a huge amount of audio (and music) to make each battle feel more like that of the films.There are two versions of the map included, the multiplayer version & the singleplayer version. Both are identical, other than the cinematics which are more fancy in the singleplayer as there's no chance of a de-synch error.
Now I've got some important notes that you should read for your benefit:
I owe a credit to many people but mostly all those who assisted me in testing the map online (give me your names and I'll happily stick you in the the list below), I can name these few out of the many:
I would also like to thank these others in no order of importance:
EDIT 02/02/2014: I've heard your complaints and as an apology I'm re-uploading the file with a fixed version of the multiplayer version - the initial cinematics have been removed to stop any chance of desynch.

Looks awesome, I always liked this map, but the timer never let me win, so I am glad someone gave it a revamp :) Good work!
Thanks, it's always nice to hear from the original players :)
how to install?
Okay First download the map -> Unzip the file -> open Unzipped file -> open "The Trilogy Map Files" then copy both files inside.
Then go to Start -> Click "Run" -> Search % appdata% -> Open "My Battle for Middle-earth Files" -> Open "Maps" -> Paste the two map folders "The Trilogy (Updated) Singleplayer" & "The Trilogy (Updated)"
This only works for XP, if you're on Windows 7 or 8 I don't know how to find the "The My Battle for Middle-earth files".
only the multiplayer one is is appearing on the game for me, any ideas how to get the singleplayer one?
Well it should be there, here's a list of things that should help eliminate the problem:
1:Are you looking in skirmish for the singleplayer version, and are you looking under the cutom maps tab
2:Are "The Trilogy updated (Singlplayer)" map files inside of one folder, double folders will make the map unreadable
3:Are you sure both maps where placed into the "My Battle for middle earth files" Map folder?
I can't hear the voices properly, like in the beginning I can't hear Gandalf saying "now we must face the long darknes of moria" all the moviequotes are gone, the regular sound works fine. Any ideas?
I play the "online version".
I believe its because certain sounds only play for player 1 (Aragorn) in the online version, it was a minor scripting error that I missed sorry. But if you really want to hear the voices you can play the singleplayer.
Actually, I played the single player verision and it didn't work. What I meant with the "online verion" was that I play Bfme Online Edition, maybe that have sth to do with it? Saw in the credits that you recomended 1.03, but should it affect sth as the voices?
/Gallantstatue
Ah, do you only have the online edition of BFME? Because I believe they didn't include the extra voice tracks as they weren't needed for multiplayer and it brought down the file size.
yes, I deleted the old 1.03 because I thought this new Online Edition worked fine.. Guess I'll have to reinstall it if I want to play this map with the real "movie feeling"
But thanks for the help!
You're more than welcome, I hope you enjoy it.
this is a long time 2016 but i have a errea messige come up and it is a line in the script i dont no what that means
but i need help i would like to play.
Hey, so I have the T3A version of BFME(which is online). The multiplayer map works fine but the single-player version causes my game to crash. Any solutions? :(
Make sure you're on the latest patch: Forums.revora.net
Absolutely sick map. Wish you could do multiplayer with just 2 people, but still 10 out of 10.

Hey, I'm trying to play the singleplayer map, but I can't get past Moria. My heroes suddenly die and I get a defeat screen. Any fix for this?
I love it.
