Battle To Umbar

1660 Third.Age, after the Battle For Osgiliath...
The Gondorians won a decisive battle in Osgiliath. Their losses are huge, but the umbarean army has been chased away from Ithilien and now prepares to defend their lands against the descendant of Eldacar.
The Prince Sangahyandion achieved a great power with the storming of Harondor and is determined to defend it against the Gondorians, greedy for revenge.
King Tarondor is once again opposed to the Alliance and is resolute to put and end to the corsair raids and to the threaten of the "traitor" dinasty of Calimehtar.

This map is the third one of a trilogy based on a war is inspired by the books and letters of J.R.R. Tolkien and the website of Sampsa Rydman: Lindëfirion.
This is a fiction story from what could occure in about 1650 T.A, a fake version of the Third Corsair War (1653 - 1666 T.A). If you wanna know more about it, I invite you to visit the website Lindefirion.
The gameplay of this map is based on capitals that provides soldiers as spawns and on villages that can be captured that provides ressources (gold to hire extra soldiers or wood to build new structures, siege weapons and boats).
There are 10 players in 2 teams (Gondor / "Evil") that must weaken the opponent team by storming and seizing its villages and capitals or trapping its armies. Each player owns a capital (or 2) a region (villages), an army, a fleet (not necessarily) and 4/5 heroes that can't revive.

The players are :

Gondor: King Tarondor; Ithilien; Lebennin; Belfalas; Anórien.
Evil : Umbar; Khand; Harondor; Pellardur (Umbar#2); Mordor.
If you love controlling big and varied armies (easily with all the commands I made), with heroes (with custom skills) that support it, you really should try this map :). This is more a strategical game than a "hero game"! There is a tutorial ingame if you wanna know more about the gameplay (a long one). You can also learn more about the story, the commands, the sounds (etc..) in the quest.

I hope you will enjoy it :).

Gold and wood/rock production
Hidden information:
Each village has two nombers (by exemple 50 / 250) what refers to the gold and the wood it products each 3 min 20 sec. (here the village products 50 gold and 250 wood/rock).

The gold is used to hire new units with the recruiters whereas the wood/rock is used to make new structures, boats and artillery.

When a team captures a village, it becomes controlled by the player who has the smallest income.

When a team seizes a capital (like Pelargir or Umbar), it becomes controlled by the player who has the highest nomber of units in the town. This one will be able to hire the region units but wont get a better income or a good citadel.

Each 3 min 20 sec, the player whose kills are the lowest also earn 50 gold.
Trilogy Project
Hidden information:
The trilogy concept is based on three map which are the 3 key moments of the war:
-Battle For Ithil : the capture of Minas Ithil by dark forces (started by Mouth-of-Sauron)
-Battle For Osgiliath : ended (version 0.6). (finished end 2008)
-Battle To Umbar : you may know it ^^. (finished end 2009)

You'll get feedback in a few months. Even if it's just a post that lists like 2-3 bad points and "graveyarded".
