I'm back! I apologise for being out of contact, but I was in Pakistan visiting relatives, and then on the return journey I got stranded in the UK for four days because of heightened security measures at Gatwick International Airport. N0bs, I can explain destruction geometry on Xfire, I should be on again soon.

We're not going for realism, just a fun time, I assume in this map, but I can add the hill. I really don't see it necessary, however.

HEY!!! t551t551 ur back!! Good to see you? How was ur little trip? Yea lol it'd be wicked if you could explain the destruction to me. But as i posted earlier today, I'm gonna be gone to Japan...so we can discuss that when I get back. Heh yea I agree with Alpha(Nice Job btw looks good). Realism ain't an issue at this moment. But we might be able to add the hill...but don't expect any calvary to charge down lol.

Wait, didn't that happen in the Return of the King? The Battle of Helms Deep was in the Two Towers! I remember Aragorn almost died in the Two Towers and help defend Helms Deep. And then I remember in the Return of the King Pippen almost getting crushed under the Mumakil, and Pippen ends up being on the horse with that lady. Though I may be mistaken on what the battle of helms deep was, I think im right!

wrong movie lol

GANDALF comes with the riders of rohan from on top that hill.. what you guys could do is create a second CP for whoever is defending the citadel outside the castle and on top of a large hill, with little bumps and rocks and such for support on the slope down, and maybe some of those things in Mygeeto aroudnt the command posts that you crouch and can shoot through the opening.. they arent that big or anything and dont seem to be used in any of the custom maps..

Ah, so there is a Helms Deep map in the making. If nobody was gonna make one, my friend and I were going to learn how to make models, maps, etc.

Since I won't be making a Helms Deep anymore, I might as well share my ideas for it. Instead of JUST making Helms Deep, why not make a whole buncha LOTR locations (eg. The Shire, Rohan, Sheila's Cave, Mount Doom, Isengard, Misty Mountains, Fangorn Forest, Minas Tirith, Moria, and I forget what this place is called, but the big Elven City.)

I also think that unless you get a bow from Vyse, then you should use a crossbow (Wookie bowcaster). You could reskin someone to be the orcs, and someone else to be the Uruk-hai, and there could be different types of orc/Uruk-hai warriors.

The heroes could be like Legolas, Aragon, Gandalf, etc. For Gandalf's staff, you could ask Penguin for the electro staff she used in Tatooine: Valley (Great map :D) or something... Yeah, you can prolly tell I like LOTR, so I'm getting really excited 'bout this map.... Anyways, looks great so far. Keep up the good work!

EDIT1:
http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
^ That's a link to the Lord of the Rings Wiki. It might help in finding out things about the movie/book to put in your map.
BTW, a hero for the Orcs/Uruk-hai could be either Lurt(He's the leader of the Uruk-hai in the movies), or Saruman.

One map at a time. The elven city u r talking about is either Rivendall or Lothlorien.

Also, i think nobs has said b4 that they will be no Uruk-hai because it is too hard to do. I think he said that but im not exactly sure.

I remember some1 tried doing Uruk-hai and they didnt turn out so good. They r really hard to make and making Uruk-hai and LotR models will be a hard and long project.

Yeah, I know I'm getting WAY ahead of this, but I dunno, I just got really excited about it... (I'm a pretty big lotr fan). Yup, it's Rivendell.

well i've just been kindly informed that it looks like this is now a dead topic, and a dead hope....nobs himself has long deleted xsi and the mod tools from his computer, so unless he passed stuff on to other people before that, i'd say this is dead.

Yes this map is pretty much dead, Ive talked with N0bs and some of the other guys and basically the consensus is that we all have our own lives to worry about rite now, so at least for me this map is pretty much put on hold until further notice. Peace out.

to bad. I have been looking forward to this for a while.

And if this map is still alive, about the reanforce ments that came from the hill if you are going going for what happend in the movie then they are the riders of Rohan
But in the books ,i'm prettly sure it was the ents that came to the rescue

if you make the hill on the side maby adding spedders or tauntauns would make it funner or if you reskin the wampa as an ent!

Um, no. It was the outlawed Riders of Rohan. The Ents came went and destroyed Isengard.

Aw, that's too bad about the postponing(or death) of Helm's Deep, but it makes sense. TOO MUCH SCHOOL :cry:

The book and the movie r different. Its best to ask people that have read all 3 books and seen all 3 movies.

The book says that Gandalf arrives with the Riders of Rohan, and the remaining orcs/uruk-hai run into a forest of Ents.
