WarCraft 3 LoTR Scenarios
For those of you who dont know WarCraft 3 is a fairly new computer game that comes with a map editor, and some people with quite a bit of time on there hands have created a few different LoTR scenarios, personally i think they are quite fun, but still way to short taking only a few hours to complete, anyone ever tried these besides me?

No, I haven't tried any custom maps, actually... do you know where I can get these ones?

Is WarCraft 3 good then? Wondering if it's worth my while getting WC3 instead of Attack of the Clones DVD.
![]() What kind of scenarios could be done? Battle of Helms Deep would be fun if possible. |

Get both.
War3 is great (though I'm not particularly good at it)... but AOTC DVD comes first ![]() It's difficult to do huge battle scenarios with War3, because the unit limit is way lower than the previous games... it's a game more focused on managing individual units rather than mass armies.

thats not entirely true parrot, there is alot of no food limit maps out now though, i definetely suggest the game if you have a high-speed connection, if not lag will be a big problem for you. its hard to decide between the dvd and the game since there is a big price difference but i dont know

I finally got my hands on one of the "Middle Earth" 12-player maps yesterday. Wow, those were well-designed. The handling of the geography was superb, even though it was tweaked around with a bit to facilitate balanced gameplay.

My brother played them. I don't like WC3. I observed him play once. I wonder, in those LOTR scenarios, are the characters balanced? Or are they not meant to be balanced?
I thought it was a creative idea.

In some of them, the characters aren't balanced at all. For example, lately I've been trying out some of the Balin's Tomb / escape from Moria maps, where everybody just stocks up on tomes and pumps their stats into the thousands. It gets kind of old after a while, because there's no challenge.
There are also some good offence-defence maps modeled after Helm's Deep, and they are very nicely designed.
