(v. late) My single player Helms deep - unfinished, please try...

Here it is - It's not really finished but the basic structure of the scenario is in place -

-There's no instructional 'welcome to helms deep' cinematic where Theoden was going to explain how it works so read the post below...

Terrain unfinished - scenarion incomplete - but still fun, I think...

Look out for gliches - there's a few

INSTRUCTIONS

- You control aragorn, legolas and Gimli - Check out their items and abilities - (I forgot to add in the 'charm' function of the ring of barahir so you can take over allies - good idea?)

REAR GATE: When you are defending the rear gate the switch in the tower/inside will evacuate the remainining elves and close the door in 9 secs - don't get caught outside


JUMPING ONTO THE CAUSEWAY: If you want you can access the secret side door by bringing aragorn and gimli to the 'bricked up door' in the wall the the left of the main gate, it's marked by torches - they will move to the exterior (with camera pan)- then you can walk them to the edge where they'll jump onto the causeway

USING THE ROPE TO ESCAPE THE CAUSEWAY: when the rope appears (what should I use for this?) bring your units to it and they move up to the left hand wall area - if they are in the rope area when it appears you'll have to move them away and grab it again

GATE TO THE CAVES/INTERIOR: The switch on the left of the gate will close it instantly

CHARGING OUT ON HORSEBACK: Aragorn mounts up the other two stay and defend the interior - this is a difficult but exciting part - you should try and keep formation with theoden, gamling, deorwine and Guthlaf - you five will plough through

LAST OF THE HORNBURG DEFENDERS: when they ride out all surving elves and boys will be under your command

why would you want to play by yourself, i mean i like playing with other people.... gets to lonley talking to yourself you know??

well - I don't think you could put these features in a multimap

inmportant! set all player slots to open

C'mon, try it out!

Please give reports if you can

Say which bits are cool - what sucks - etc.

The dynamic of the siege is in place but the particulars are up in the air

the ride out is implace but not finished in terms of enemies and how difficult etc.
