2004 Special Diplo Event: "The Lord of the Rings"

[deity]

Well, how about it?

The time has come! I played it years ago as SP and it's brilliant. It's not designed for MP but with a little modpaking it would make an excellent diplo-game.

Attached is Harlan Thompson's modpak.

I'm just refreshing myself about the complexities of the scenario and Mordor would still have to be played by AI. It has over 400 starting units! The total number of units may need to be scaled back to make it workable as MP but let's look at that.

After the current diplos are over I envisage a new diplo on USA Fri and or Sat nights. Why not give this a go??!!

Let's test it as MP over the net and see what needs to be done.

Harlan faithfully reproduced the book in this Civ2 MP scn and he may still be contactable. I'm sending him an email shortly but I want to know if anyone is interested??

Yep im no modder and never even built a civ 2 map let a lone civ3, so once we get this going will need some one to build a map and edit the rules etc.. but will leave that till later
