Orthanc Created by chrisFREER & UltimoElmo Orthanc, the black tower of Isengard. Beren, steward of Gondor gave Isengard and the keys to Orthanc to the white wizard, Saruman and was used as his power base in the War of the Ring. All I'll say is that I had to break the skybox to make this (by accident too). It's huge. Seriously huge. It has a few flaws, mostly due to its scale and running out of pieces. Anyway, enjoy looking at it. I tried to get pictures of the whole thing close enough for details, it took 5 different pictures joined. Flickr wasn't happy with the size that would have been! The only halfway decent room (had nothing left to furnish the main entrance) and Saruman's balcony See that tiny dot on the right of the tower? Thats me. Not a smudge on your screen! Thanks for looking, UltimoElmo decided we were going to build something big, so this is what we got. I'm happy with the results! If you're after a blank map with a hole in the skybox let me know and I'll put it up. (Blank minus two teleports) Not sure if this has been done before either, didn't think I saw anything on Reach.
This tower is epic, it has great design, and structure. If you could, could you post some pictures of the inside.
Thanks guys. Theres the first floor which is effectively just two circular ramps and a teleport to the roof and one to the balcony level, which has a spiky interior. Thats about all we could afford to do in the end! It's really just about the exterior here. What you really have to try though is having someone in grey jump from the top and someone else try to catch them in a falcon flying past! (you may want to turn on invincibility to do this)
That thing is huge! Looks really good. I like towers, so something this big attracts my attention. You have my download!
two words: Sheer epicness. Okay now that those two words are over all I can say is wow. This map is SO F&*^%$# HUGE! WOW. I haven't seen any lord of the rings maps before. (it might because I have never bothered searching for one) But this is the best if there are any other lord of the rings maps.
Thanks again to everyone whose looked, commented or downloaded. I wouldn't say that, there's a rather awesome rendition of Helms Deep for Assault! I'd really just like to stress UltimoElmo's involvement in building this, he was key in developing what you see today (or whenever you saw this!)
Josh - Will do tonight (if I remember) BrokenEye - as mentioned in earlier comments, the ground floor has only got two circular stair cases with a teleport to the balcony/seeing stone room and one to the roof. The Balcony room is basically just large and spikey. I would have put more in but the pieces/budget were all but exhausted.
