There I was five minutes ago fiddling with this and came on here and find the answer immediately. Love this site always a great help.

Here are some screenies of what I have finished up so far. I have been kind of busy lately due to some work stuff, but I have pretty much all of the terrain generally finished, and just need to do some cosmetic touch ups and add in a bit more detail / strategic value areas.

Overview of Middle Earth: Link to the Image.

Northeastern (Rhovanion, Mirkwood, Ered Engrin, Rhun, Erebor, and Ered Mithrin) Middle Earth: Link to the Image.

Northwestern (Enedwaith, Arnor, Angmar, and Lindon) Middle Earth: Link to the Image.

Southeastern (Central and Eastern Gondor, Ithilien and Mordor) Middle Earth: Link to the Image.

Far South (Haradwaith) Middle Earth: Link to the Image.

In an attempt to build a map close to the Tolkien Lore I have tried to bring as many of the details available in his writings as well as presented in his maps of the regions to life. That taken into into respect I also am aware that this map is for a strategy game so I am taking some liberties with design in order to give it more of a strategic element. Such as the construction of forests, waterways, mountain passes and some other strategically valuable features.

I hope you have enjoyed taking a little look at the work I have been up to. Please voice any comments here as I am trying to make a map that everyone will enjoy and that requires feedback even if it is in early stages.

Again thank you for taking a look at this and I will attempt to place more images as the project moves along.

Got the map open a bit ago if anyone is still following this at all. Working on it steadily once again.

Hey everyone, I've been developing a map for a bit and ran into a problem. The map simply will not open fully in the editor anymore.

Here is the just of it. I open the editor (no issues here). Then I click to open my map. All of the presets and everything loads as a normal map does. However, the map shows up in the mini map section in the top left, but the main screen stays blank as if I am still at the first piece of terrain you see on initiating the editor. I have let the program stay up for 2 hours... yes 2 hours ... in an attempt to let it load. I wouldn't say I am the most computer savvy person, but I would like to find a fix for this.

Aye, ya I've been scouring these forums and others trying to get my map open... I think I've tried nearly all the tricks out there. I really have no clue how to get it open. I wonder where I should post to possibly get a response on it. Or anyone surfing this section of the forums is more than welcome to share any knowledge with me lol

@robin374: Go

Ya its a tedious thing. What era are you focusing on? Third Age? or possibly the interesting yet pretty much uncharged Fourth Age?

I love terraining. It's by far my favorite aspect of map creation. It really amps me up into finishing a project. If I make a beautifully detailed landscape for my map I am even more determined to populate it with deserving units/buildings and proper trigger sets to accomodate.

I have looked into to possibly converting some of their models/textures but right now I have kind of hit a problem with the project... map editor won't open my map anymore... I think I broke it with too much detail... Put in about 18 hours of terrain detailing and doodading to finish out most of the regions and then this happened. I don't understand it actually. Editor was running fine when I had the file open, but now its just being a pain. Granted it was a bit sluggish at certain things which is expected.

Started the editor, loaded map today and then just sat there as the editor said it wasn't responding for like 30 minutes.

I have found some interesting models and suggestions as to get more "fitting" models and textures into the game. Unfortunately that problem you run into when you put alot of models and textures into a game is well.. you have to put alot of models and textures into the game lol just takes time. I also am an owner of world of warcraft along with the wowmodel viewer on top of 3dmax so I think if push comes to shove I can start making my own models / extracting them from wow to get a more "authentic" feel to the map.

Back in the original SC though on maps such as TotV (Trees of the Valar) and DoV (Darkening of Valinor) Sauron was portrayed by the original Jim Raynor lol.

Hi everyone, I've lingered around these forums for a long time now. I have been part of map making teams since the original SC and took part in helping on WC3 maps.

I was wondering if anyone had any interest in working on a map for the 2nd Age of Middle Earth, more specifically the Last Alliance.

I have nearly finished the terrain. Just have to finish the finer details of the regions: Greenwood, Upper Vales of the Anduin, Eriador and Enedwaith.

If no one is interested I will still be working on the map it will just take more time, due to personal constraints. Any help is greatly appreciated, however large or small it maybe
