The first time I entered this map I immediately fell in love. As a huge fan of the series I was amazed at accuracy of much of the architectural detail and was astonished at some of the creative methods the author used to pull it off certain set pieces. My score on this map is purely on the ascetics and it deserves it. One can only imagine how many hours must have been put into this map to make it look just right, and I appreciate that kind of dedication. Everything from the wooden beams to the round windows just feels right and adds to the emersion. I spent quite some time running around this map to try and discover all the hidden little secrets, and I encourage you too to give this map a download and experience this masterpiece yourself. A job well done!

I know the author has this playable, but this map deserves 5 stars in what it already is, thematically, and aesthetically. Being a LotR fan, this sucked me right in, I rarely give 5 stars to a map I haven't "played" on, but I have certainly spent a lot of time on this map admiring the creative forging and the theme. I love how much the author put thought into each area. I look forward to everything from this upcoming forger! Great work!
