Dol Guldur

You will get your 'likes' "when you answer for the burning of the Westfold, and the children that lie dead there! We shall have 'like's', when the lives of the soldiers whose bodies were hewn even as they died against the gates of the Hornberg, are avenged! When you hang from a gibbit for the sport of your own crows...! We shall have 'likes'. "

Nice ideas - but we want pictures for 'likes'
Pictures you will get!...By this weekend, anyways.
 
I noticed there was some confusion with our teammates about Dol Guldur and what it really looked like. I realize that Tolkien Gateway states that, in the Hobbit (2012) "Dol Guldur is depicted as a ruined and abandoned fortress of unknown origin." We know the origin, though, and I believe that we should at least attempt to stay as close to Tolkien's works as we can get. Our Dol Guldur will be based off the Hobbit Dol Guldur, but it will also be based off the books as well. It will be large and menacing, and not as grandly built as other evil fortresses, but it will not be completely ruined, nor will it be in upper-most shape. It will be fine in some areas, with many ruins around, which would be the places most used and the places least used and "forgotten," if you would put it that way. Remember, Plan for a Team Powerbuild on Saturday! Some other, non-Hobbit images of Dol Guldur:

Of course, though, many parts of Dol Guldur will be based on the movies.
 
I have gotten our jobs out.
Warg and I are leaders. Lem, German, and warg will work on world painting all of the terrain. Perry, Leo, and I will do the building. Lotr48 is someone I really don't know much about so he should do one of the two choices. Tell me if you guys want to do something.
Umm...We are all going to help with the building. I will make the world for it (you guys can critic it if you'd like). And, once again, Dol Guldur is not just RUINS! Also, I need to know what times people will be available to build on Saturday.
 
Im making some terrain :D
I guess we'll have to have a terrain generating competition...You viewers of this thread will judge it...I don't have time to start right now though...expect to judge our maps this weekend at some point! :D
 
you two should work together to make one :)
I NEVER SAID IT WAS ONLY RUINS
tim talked to me and said he preferred the book version.
Hey! Yeah! Book Version all the way! There is no way for two people to make a terrain with the program that lem and I use, so people will just have to choose. And I have been thinking of secret ways since before coming up with the map...Also, DON'T TELL THE PUBLIC YET!
 
Last chance: I need to know what time people will be available on Saturday. If you don't respond, please be warned that people may be kicked.
Also, a note about DG (Dol Guldur): It will be looking like a dark old castle, something creepy that you would expect to find in the depths of Mirkwood. The actual castle will have very little ruins, but the walls, the bridge, and the areas around it will be full of ruins.
 
Hey! This is a world that I made this morning for our map; I think that you can all see where the road, the bridge, and DG will go. Also, I will be doing a little more editing on it, so don't get to mad! Yes, I realize that there are no trees right now. They cannot be seen on photos like this, but I asure you, there will be many, many Mirkwood trees.

Reply or give me some votes if you like it! :D
 
Okay, heres the next step: Do you guys want Deciduous Trees or Pine Trees to be in Mirkwood? And if anyone knows how to add a custom trees brush, or has any other ideas, please let me know! Thanks.
 
Honestly, I need to know what time people will be able to build on Saturday (in U.S. time). That includes Akam.
 
I can buid any time, but I am British, so I will probably be on before all you 'Muricans. :P
