I'm going to create a series of Lord of the Rings/War of the Ring maps.
This is the first - a small one.
Green (Elves), Blue (Dwarves) and Pink (Gondor & Rohan) should be allied against Black
Hole (Mordor).
I've given a load of starting units to kick off the war from turn 1. Whether it is
balanced is anyone's guess.
I've tried to simulate the books with a few AW items:

Green fighter is Gandalf to counter the Nazgul (Battle Copters)
Mechs on the island are the Corsairs.
All the Black Hole tanks are the Easterlings and Mumakil.
Obviously you can see Helms Deep, Moria, High Pass, Isengard, Lorien, Iron Hills, Mirwood,
Weathertop, Bree, Rivendell, etc.

I'd like to see some game of throne ones too! :D

Looks like fun.

First games found it too unbalanced towards Mordor. I will add some more units for the
Free Peoples and try again.

The Medium version of this map has been created - with a Saruman player....

For thematic puposes, ban anti air units. Also recommend banning Rockets.
Artillery okay as archers.
And switch off CO powers.

And ban Fighters, Stealths and Bombers. Gandalf should be the only Fighter out there, fighting a constant stream of
Battle Copters.

I've updated the map, giving the Free Peoples some more troops as Mordor was bossing the map
