HELMS DEEP NEW - BY 2PLAYGAMES
------------------------------

This is an entirely new Helms Deep map made by me. It is meant for 4 players, 2 versus 2. The players at the top must be Rohan and the players at the bottom must be Isengard. DO NOT CHOOSE A DIFFERENT FACTION!. I have tried as much as I can to  make this map like the mission in the campaign. Here is an overview of the features:

- There are two players in Helms Deep. They each have a citadel (the Helms Deep citadel, not the standard one), and 9 building foundations: 2 behind the deeping wall and 7 in the keep. The player on the left will have Theoden an Eowyn, the player on the right will have Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas (this might seem unfair, but the left player is really better protected). Also, the player on the right will have control over the Tower of Helms Deep, in which is positioned the Horn of Helm Hammerhand. Blow this horn to frighten the Uruks. Rohan can alos use the Farm as a slaugtherhouse. Both Rohan players will get 300 CP.
- The Isengard players will both start with a citadel and two Uruk Pits, but after a little time they will be given the opportunity to build a camp. Isengard will have a strong advantage in resources and build-time. Both Isengard players will get 600 CP.
- After 1 minute, elven reinforcements will arrive for Rohan. They can then also build the Elven Barracks.
- Another minute later, a large army of uruks will arrive, along with Saruman and Lurtz. The Isengard players can then build a camp.
- After 10 minutes, Isengard will get the possibility to build mines. Another 10 minutes later, they will be able to build Ballistas.
- The spells have been shuffled around a bit. For Rohan, Army of the Dead has been replaced by Ents, and to fill up the empty spot I have put in Elven Gifts. To replace the Balrog, Freezing Rain is now Isengards ultimate power. I have also given Isengard Call the Horde, which will give it 300 command points extra.
- 30 minutes after the game starts, Gandalf and Eomer will arrive with their Rohirrim. Isengard must try to take Helms Deep before that moment, because the Rohirrim are invincible, and Gandalf has many Words of Power.

Disabled in this map:
 For rohan: Well (there are some in Helms Deep already), heroic statue (the same situation), Stables (you will get 2 battalions of rohirrim at the beginning), Merry
 For Isengard: Wargs
 Nobody will get Flaming Arrows, for those would make defending Helms Deep too easy.
