Minas Tirith (LOTR)
Ok, I finally played my Helm's Deep map with Spidysox and we got talking about what other Lord of the Rings maps we could do. We started to discuss Minas Tirith (the white city) and how hard it would be able to do it with the limited resources I have. I took this as a challenge. Here is the final result:

I see no problem with those requirements. Although I can't build it, and am not at all familiar with Lord of the Rings, it looks great!
Like Superheroes and Comics?

Re: Minas Tirith (LOTR) 1st Attempt
The family was out and the pieces were there haunting me...
Is this good or bad? Other attempts I've seen were going to take 20 FOTA sets. The major issue about breaking this one up it the fortress at the top. You need one door for the building and two more for the arches out of the pedestal (that forces 3 FOTA, anyway you break it down). I may be able to break this in phases like Helm's Deep, but 2 FOTA will be the smallest requirement.

That was the plan, but this one is harder. I'm going to have watch the movie and break the battle into stages. To everyone, any suggestions on the stages?

Re: Minas Tirith (LOTR) 1st Attempt
I was just wondering, Pete, did you consider putting a Jungle Tree at the top to represent the King's Tree? (Sorry to all LOTR geeks.. but I don't know the actual name of the tree)
By the way, it looks great! Can't wait to see how tall it really looks when you build it. Aeston's Before Heroscape - An interesting read for any Heroscape fan. I loved the final conclusion to the post as well lol Good trades: SirGalahad |

I did think of that, but then I thought I would get some white wire and do it right. [quote=machinekng;1151259Well, first you have the battle at the main gate, then the seige towers coming at the walls, then fighting in the streets after the gate breaks down, then the battle in the fields after the Rohan army arrives.[/quote] Those are the three I thought as well so it sounds like we're thinking the same way. My thoughts so far: Battle 1: Battle of the Main Gate with some seige tower rules/wall destruction rules. Battle 2: Battle inside the lower levels. Battle 3: Battle at the higher levels to a certain number of rounds. If the defender can't hold out, the game ends then. Battle 4: Reinforcements arrive. This would be a battle to the end, but the attacking army would have the advantage of already being in the city (role reversal). I think extreme height should be eliminated for the whole scenerio. If you are at extreme height, you can't see the figure. That's my thought, but I am willing to bend with a good argument the other way.
