Helm’s Deep
Map Made by: z63
Take the battle into your hands, and decide the fate of Helm’s Deep!
THE STORY:
Helm's Deep, Fortress of Rohan. It was believed that Helm's Deep would never fall while men defended it. No enemy had ever breached the Deeping Wall, or set foot inside the Hornburg. But the approaching enemy is the Uruk-hai of the White Hand, built for one purpose - the annihilation of the Human race. Tens of thousands of Uruk-hai march threateningly upon Helm's Deep and its outnumbered defenders. The Lothlórien Elves also take part in this siege with Rohan as a final contribution to their old Alliance. Meanwhile, Gandalf promises to bring aid in five days, if they can just hold out that long.
There are heroes defending the fortress now. Among them are Aragorn, heir of Isildur and of the original fellowship; Haldir, Elf-captain of the Lothlórien elves; Legolas the Elf of the original Fellowship; Gimli the Dwarf of the original Fellowship; Théoden, King of Rohan; Háma, his servant; Gamling the Old, servant of the king; and Éowyn, niece of the king.

Full credit for the characters and plot of the Lord of the Rings goes to J.R.R. Tolkien.
THE GAME:
This scenario is based on the "Helm's Deep" scenario for multiplayer StarCraft ... which is based on the book by J.R.R Tolkien. "Helm's Deep" was a very good (in my opinion) siege game. It was very aggressive. It required careful handling of key units and control over certain choke points. I was inspired by the game and thought it would be nice to be able to play it with Age of Empires II. Now here is the version for Age of Empires II: The Conquerors.
Attackers to win - Kill Théoden King (Elite Cataphract)
Defenders to win - Defend the King. Kill the Goblin Commander (Elite Woad Raider), the Orc Commander (Elite Huskarl), and the Uruk-hai Commander (Elite Jaguar Warrior).
Gandalf's reinforcements arrive in 120 hours (when you accumulate 120 gold).
This scenario is not perfectly accurate for the sake of fun. I have taken out the trees so as not to deter the onagers, and I have added in some new characters like goblins and dwarves.
Installation
-Put the scx file in your Age of Empires II Scenario folder.

This thing isn't based on teh book. So far as I recall, there were no ELVES there. But a nice battle and almost all lotr scenarios in teh blacksmith are based on teh movie anyhow. It's a nice helm's deep scenario, giving some new ideas rather than the others. |

What did you think of the fortress? I tried to make it as accurate as possible ... to the movie *heeheehee*. Although I left out the puny Deeping Stream, because it wasn't in the "Other" map and would have been unexciting.
Come on. Give me some credit. Háma wasn't in the movie, was he? (Nor the goblins and dwarves).
Thanks for the comment. Glad you liked it.
More comments, please?[Edited on 08/08/06 @ 07:21 PM]

Of course there were elves there! They were led by Captain Haldir. |

well this is my first scenario that I am playing which is designed by some person. It is pretty accurate and well designed confirming to the book.
BTW there weren't any elves there as they were shown in the movie
but I am getting a problem- it is becoming very slow sometimes with those loads of units. |

well...LC_Pupitre there is no reason to riticule someone for trying, i think he did a good job and should be proud of it.
And if you want to criticize anyone then learn to spell first! |
