Lotr...

Can you say hypothetical situation? Elf-Beast introduced the idea and when he got shot down, I defended him/her. No, I'm not a nice person, I just like getting posts. Ha ha ha that's not funnny.

Well, what you COULD do is make a prologue campaign of the Hobbit... Something smaller, with simpler gameplay, to sort of tease people into wanting to play the next one, the BIG story of the Lord of the Rings

If you're going to make this, perhaps you should make a new thread in the Member's Projects? That way people will know you're doing it, not asking for help with it (Though I'm sure you'll have to, anyway)

And yeah, you can put me down as a helper. Probably mostly for ideas and some annoying work, like the Object Editor. I'm not an expert with the Trigger Editor, but I can do quite a bit

Anyway, work out what you want to do, and then post it. We'll work from there.

 

[Um.....]

sooo...... an RPG?

Legolas: Elven Archer

ffs, when will people learn to start using the priest model for archers? other then a lil sparkly effect it looks fine. and at least legolas can stop being a girl.

 

[Elf-Beast]

make an RPG!!

Gimili: Mountain King
Legolas: Elven Archer
Aragorn: Eleven Swordsman
Gandlaf: Apprentice Wizard
Gandalf(Riding Shadowfax):dark Wizard(but make it white)
[make a gargoal stone form ability, then add it to Gandalf]
Frodo: Mini footman?
Sam: " " "
Pippin: " " "
Merry: " " "
Borrimor(gay spelling): Captain

or sumthing...

i know for a fact that there are better models for the LotR characters on wc3ser.ch. there's also a nice Legolas model out there. Oh ya, the Hobbit idea was just an idea, and yes it does relate to LotR as they involve many of the same characters. I just thought it might be a good idea. . . besides, I always thought The Hobbit was more fun to read anyway . . .

 

[DM Cross]

The Hobbit was less crammed full of details. And flowed a lot better. J.R.R. Tolkien's big bang was LOTR, hence why there's so much in it.

Anyway. Yes, there are some better models and skins out there you can use. Wc3sear.ch has a great Legolas model.

But it's up to Liz.

Never seen a DotA before, good luck on that if you try that. MAKE SURE to get a lot of people to work with you. Your going to need a dedicated team and lots of time to make something to contend with Allstars.

I have, it sucked. I think they all suck everyone knows that... but it was terrible and not like LOTR at all. LOTR cant be an AoS anyways as the actual LOTR was the fellowship traveling it wasnt a war of destroying bases.

EDIT~
Remember that map with the 4 lanes going straight up and you fought your way up? I forget what it was called, but that could be a good LOTR type map..

I think a LOTR campaign would be fun but an epic RPG of it would be better to play online.

Morder attacked Gondor. Gondor attacked Mordor. The last two battles of the movie/book

 

[Rad]

Then that wouldnt be LOTR that would be the battle of gondor/morder

Not a huge fan of storylines I just liked seeing legolas slide on shields and when him and gimli were on the walls he was like "Thats two!" and legolas was like "Im on seventeen!"

yes we might aswell make a hobbit first to see how much work is ahead of us and get an idea of how long each step will take... I will update the first post with my current team...(only alexander and I so far lol )

 

[Jo.O]

I have played a LOTR campaign map b4, but it wasent very fun... i hope you make yours much better.

BTW: shouldent this be in Members Projects?

 

[InfectedWithDrew]

Once he starts he will post it there.

 

[Lizidian]

Currently working on 2 maps as it is so thats why I havnt posted about this in the members projects forum yet lol...

 

[Um.....]

or u can like make a cinimatic, up to you

 

[Lizidian]

Lol! im sorry but im horrible at cinematics id rather take the time with the little mission/trailer lol

 

[Elf-Beast]

Sorry, more nerd comments . . . But the war between Gondor (actually all of Middle-Earth) and Mordor was the whole basis for the Fellowship. Event though the books only cover small portions of the war in great detail, it was the backbone of the story. The DotA LotR map would simply represent one of the major battles, like Battle of Pelennor Fields.

*edit I misspelled Mordor. I am ashamed.

if you think that is full of details you shouldn't read Silmarillion(or something like that)

actually i have never seen any LotR RPGs..?

 

[Spoony]

You did spell it right.

This sounds really cool, and if it is actually being made (it looks like this thread was started at the beginning of this year), I'd be happy to try and do some skins for it (if you need them), once I get photoshop installed on this computer. I'm no expert, but I may be able to get the job done, at least for some of them...
