Chronicles of Middle-Earth — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This large 108 by 108 map with an underground level is an alternate history of Middle-Earth that asks what might have happened if the last ruler of the northern Dunedain had seized Gondor and faced the Witch-King. It is rated Expert and supports five players, two of them human, with three teams. The factions are Castle, Tower, Stronghold, Necropolis, and Rampart. Victory requires capturing one specific town, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers nearly half the terrain and water about a tenth. The map includes 46 mines, 12 heroes, 82 random monster stacks, and artifacts such as Titan's Cuirass and Angel Wings.

Author's description

In the 1970s and 1980s, more than a thousand years before the time of the Hobbit, the North Kingdoms of the Dunedain finally came to an end. But what if history could be reversed? What if the last king, Arvedui, could have claimed Gondor and defeated the Witch-King?
