[Release] Middle Earth

Yes, it's Middle Earth for Locomotion - Now you can haul timber from Mirkwood, coal from the Mines of Moria and chemicals from the bitter Sea of Nurnen! Help the Elves leave Middle Earth by starting a passenger service from Rivendell to the Grey Havens! Suppose the Fellowship of the Ring could have boarded a bus from Hobbiton to Mt Doom? JRR Tolkien would have hated it.

Have fun, and let me know how you get on.

for me it has a lack in rivers but is still good.

a little rough mountains..

Thanks for that comment Mr. Negativity. It's the only way to rapidly lose altitude without making a cliff.

It was just a comment..the mountains look a little rough with all those edges showing up somewhere..he could maybe apply some blur on the heightmap.

Roger · Post by **Roger** » 09 Nov 2004 21:41

Nope. Without edges you get a 1:1 slope similar to what you get by pulling up a pyramid with the land adjust tool. The mountains are then too broad in the base.

I did think about rivers, but Loco doesn't seem to do them very well, and eventually I left them out.

I liked the scenario, a bit hard on the first view, but coal, iron ore and grain are your friends

Anyways, I disabled the stupid AI for me, because the map would look too crowded after a few years

hehe, I can't see if there is a ski-ing resort on Caradhras, but definately, there is enough snow

He thanks man, you made a map of my homeland.

First thing I'm gonna do is laying a track between Esgaroth and my beatifull lair. Then I don't have to fly anymore to get my favorite food: beautiful young maidens, hehehe.

Thanks!

My experience is that the AI tends to go after one area of the map heavily and leaves other areas fairly clear. Also, the towns tend not to grow too huge, at least in the first twenty years.

To keep the lands of middle earth green and plesant you employ tree beards. These Ents inhabit a tree tool which allow planting of instant trees. Used througout the land they will store up good will with the peoples councils. This rises to such an extent that the wrath of 'Bull the dozer' can be unleashed repeatedly on the constructs of the Wizard Sawyers invisible orc builders.

Tree Beard is a character and last time I read The Lord of the Rings he didnt have a split personality either...

If an Ent moot decide to raise good will, who am I to object?

Will try this later.

I liked it. It was a good and funny idea.
I played it like a hobbit focused on food but i will now replay it as a bloody orc with a lot of coal and iron

jklamo · Post by **jklamo** » 15 Nov 2004 02:58
