The second of my War of the Ring maps. You can see the first here:
http://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=57517
This one has more detail on Middle Earth.
This is designed to be played as GE, BM and PC as one Team (the Free Peoples) and Black
Hole as Mordor. Saruman the White is Jade Sun and should be set up as another team on
his own. Its a tough job being Saruman and probably takes some diplomacy. Or just go nuts
and attack Rohan.

BAN PIPERUNNERS
Recommend playing without CO powers for theme purposes.

Also probably a good idea to set starting funds as fairly high. Maybe 5000. And consider
setting income higher than 1000.

nice map but the terrain sure feels bland. For some reason, I don't get the feeling that I'm battling
on the lush landscape of Tolkien....hint: FORESTS

GS city in forest region.
1000rpm (07/13/2012 07:04pm):
Thanks for the feedback. Updated map with some more forests and mountains. Also
resolved the GS city. Removed the starting Com tower from Mordor and added a lot more
cannon fodder for Gondor.

cruiser on river
circular river thing below 4 CI mechs has sea tile
rivers look best when emptying out on 4 way
1000rpm (07/16/2012 05:04pm):
Cruiser on river is "The Watcher in the Water", outside the gates of Moria. It will take
a lot of killing. Thanks for the tip on the river tiles.

In a recent game the Mordor player started churning out Piperunners out of Moria. Whilst an
inspired tactic it is completely against the theme and I recommend BANNING PIPERUNNERS
1000rpm (10/08/2015 05:08am):
Should also ban Fighters, Stealths and Bombers. The only Fighter should be Gandalf, fighting a constant tide of
Battle Copter Nazgul.
