Using the Lord Of The Rings movie license, The Battle for Middle-earth is a Real-Time Strategy game based upon both the renown literary works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and the film trilogy directed by Peter Jackson. Players are given control of enormous armies in the many of the epic battles depicted in the film. From waging all-out combat among the vast forces of good and evil to controlling your favorite heroes and characters to managing the troops and resources of your side, the fate of a living, breathing Middle-earth is in the player's hands.

Post news Report RSS The Movie Map Updated Released

After a very long time of testing I can finally release the movie map updated, a remade version of NordicSoldier's excellent 2004 "Movie map".

The Movie Map Updated

This is 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:

  • Moria - Balins Tomb, Dwarodwelf (tiny), Khazad-dûm
  • EastGate
  • Amon-Hen
  • Rohan
  • Fangorn
  • Helms Deep
  • Isengard
  • Ithilien
  • Paths of the Dead
  • Minas Tirith
  • Shelob's Lair
  • Cirith Ungol
  • The Black Gate
  • Mount Doom

Throughout the level there are several fancy cinematics, 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.

The download is in the addon section, I've got a list of credits and informative notes in the description as well.

I'm so glad I found this in 2017, thanks for the upload my man.

PS: would you happen to have any maps by NordicSoldier?
