[user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/StealWonders/74.png" name="StealWonders"]5363448[/user] I want to help build with OP although we have no server to use currently. it would be useful to build on ew cuz we need the current minas tirith/osgiliath map to have in the surrounding area (won't be playable)
 
First of all, can I just say that you did a really nice job working this out. The drawing you made looks absolutely fantastic. I've always liked the idea of a pelennor fields map, but I feel like it's not going to work for our playerbase.

When we used to have a map like this, people didn't really like it because of the scale and lack of players. If we wanted this to work, I feel like we'd need at least a 100 players online. Also, many players like our server because of the Siege aspect, and this map would lack all of that.

Nonetheless, our pelennor didn't really have a real objective. There weren't capture points on there, it was just killing. So I think it might be a good idea to work this out, but it's not on our priorities list.


Feel free to continue the discussion :)
 
How about making this map into king of the hill map?

In the middle of the map there would be a flag that each team will try and hold for the most time.
Around the flag there would be 4-5 points: 1 will be the original spawn for Rohan, 1 will be the original spawn for Mordor, 1 will be neutral but if Mordor will take it they will have the ability to spawn there as harad soldiers (maybe the flag will be next to those giant elephants), 1 will be at the river and will be under Mordor control but if gondor takes it they can spawn there as rangers of the north and 1 will be the flag that the teams need to take to win the game (start as Mordor).
Rohan can win by holding the flag for 10 minutes (or less) and Mordor can win if they hold the flag for 25 minutes (or less).
 
The one thing this map would be good for is mounted classes...
 
Give them strength while on the horse? When they lose their horse give them blindness for a few seconds to balance it.
 
Give them those pikes horse rider used(only available on horse and they gain slowness while they are not at horse
 
Last time we had this map it was generally just running around on a horse slaughtering Orcs for shits and giggles.

Now, I've not read the last 4 pages of comments, but I'm not sure how the map will work now. Control points in order would be messy considering how large the map is, while control points in random order lead to hordes of each team running back and forth between them (like old Erebor). Just no control points leads to random people wandering off!

Sorta like the idea of King of the Hill to draw everyone in ^
