This map is based closely off the Battle of Five Armies as depicted in Tolkein's fantastic prequel to the Lord of the Rings, 'The Hobbit'. The good player takes the Elves, Men and Dwarves while the evil player takes the Goblins and Wargs. The next version will be a more accurate representation of the battle, however this initial map is still fun to play!

To get the most out of this map, please read README II. Installation instructions can be found in the first README.

As of yet, this map is not scripted, however the armies on each side behave normally and attack as they would in the real battle.

I'll be making more maps based on the novel of The Hobbit in reference to PJ's upcoming film 'There and Back Again' (due 2011), so keep an eye on this space!

Though it has some elements of the Battle of Five Armies, the entire map is poorly textured and no scripts, lacking the basic feel of the intense battle that was fought. But I was also disappointed in the lack of creativity. There is no ini to create the heroes in the book and the goblin army was dull. Also, the accuracy of the battle was off. Beorn and the Eagles did not appear until later in the battle and the goblins did not have an established camp. (on a bit harsh note: personally I thought my Battle of Five Armies was lacking)

I played the newest version 4.6 Rotwk. The eagles are too close to the goblin camp and easily rush it to destroy it. You should move the eagles or put more defenses on it.

Map is poorly textured and rather plain.

Beta 4.6 is being released sometime tommorow, so keep an eye on the Links/Downloads section. It's slightly better designed and the BFME II version has been changed so that it won't require the SEE mod in order for certain units to be used on the map. A RotWK version will also be released for RotWK players!
