This map is based on the map of Middle Earth from The Lord of the Rings. It is not meant to be balanced, and is more of an experiment. However, there is a set of rules would you want to play it.

The players are :

Team A :

Frodo (Orange Star) starting in Hobbiton
Aragorn (Blue Moon) starting in Bree
Legolas (Green Earth) starting in Rivendell
Gimli (Yellow Comet) starting in the Iron Hills
The Gondor and Rohan Armies (Jade Sun) with 2 Labs they need to defend: Helms Deep and Minas Tirith, respectively

Team B :

Saruman (White Nova) with his HQ (Lab) in Isengard
Sauron (Black Hole) with his HQ (Lab) being Mount Doom and Barad Dûr being a comtower

Rules are :

Fog is ON.
Only units allowed are infantries, mechs, recons, black boats and landers.
Unit limit is 10.
Black Hole is not allowed to place a unit on Mount Doom (Black Hole Lab) or on the 4 adjacent mountains
Jade Sun is not allowed to capture Mount Doom (Black Hole Lab), only the members of the Fellowship of the Ring (Orange Star, Blue Moon, Green Earth or Yellow Comet) are allowed to.

COs:
Orange Star is Sturm
Blue Moon is Sami
Green Earth is Sonja
Yellow Comet is Kanbei
Jade Sun is Rachel
White Nova is Grimm
Black Hole is Adder

Win conditions :

Black Hole and White Nova win by either:
- Capturing both Minas Tirith and Helms Deep (Jade Sun's labs)
- Killing Frodo, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli.

Orange Star, Blue Moon, Green Earth, Yellow Comet and Jade Sun win when a member of the fellowship captures Black Hole HQ (Meaning they have destroyed the One Ring)
Defeating White Nova is not necessary to win. If Black Hole loses, White Nova has to surrender, ending the game.

Further changes might be made.

Cool concept. Just a couple of observations.. orange, blue, green and yellow need HQ's otherwise they will just become ghosts. Also, they (the fellowship) needs to somehow heal should they lose health in their attempt to destroy the ring. Maybe with black boats (the other hobbits) or adding more cities near mount doom... idk

Changelog:

- Fixed the HQ problem (turned them all into labs and gave everyone a lab.)
- Added a few black boats along the rivers to heal the Fellowship members.
- Turned BH's cities neutral (Gotta work for them)
- Gave BH a free Black Boat as compensation.
- Slight revamping of the map: Added Shoals and ports for easier sea access, and a few neutral cities for the fellowship to capture on their way (Those cities and ports are not justified in LOTR lore) .

Nice. Its a tough challenge for the fellowship. Gondor and Rohan must make a really big armie to cover them while protecting themselves.
