LOTRC 12
General Changes
- Black Gate Now a Unit with a dope animation (was doodad)
- Edoras Gates Widened
- Barad-Dur Bridge Widened
- Ground Pathing revised at many fortess 'chokepoints'
- Helms Deep pathing revised
- Ground Pathing updated all over map and in every base
- To help long distance unit-pathing, added Pathing Blockers River north of Cair Andros, Helms Deep Mountain Range.
- Added Pathing blockers from Dol Amroth over White Mountains, they only work for units moving to Edoras (Not Helms Deep). This is the best it's going to get. Added some sight emitters 'White Mountain Sentry's: Behind Minas Tirith to help with pathing.
- Added Doodads and corrected all pathing at Sun Dome Area.
- Collision sizes of heroes corrected.
- Osgiliath Bridge Pathing Fixed.
- Lorien Bridge Pathing Fixed.
- Added a give gold chat message trigger. Syntax: "-gg player color #"
- Added Time Inquiry "-time" returns the elapsed game time.
- Added 'Dunlendings Enthralled' Inquiry "-dun" returns if dunlendings have been enthralled.
- Added 'Defenses of Nenya' Inquiry "-nenya" returns if defenses of nenya have been activated.
- Updated Models:
Campfire
Siege Pit
Rohan Archer
Easterling Catapult
Royal Guard
Sons of Eorl
Witch King
Fel Beast
Fixed Treebeard/Ents Selection Shape
Gameplay Changes
- New income system. All CPs are now worth 11 gold, and players start with a 'fortress' income depending upon their faction. If your primary fortress is destroyed you also lose your fortress income entirely. Easterlings are the only exception, their 'fortress income' is split between their two starting 'Tribal Palaces'. We hope that decreasing the income curve will encourage more balanced gameplay, and less 'Steam Roll' advantages.

- Changed 'Rohan Rider' to 'Rohan Spearman', a cavalry spearman unit for Edoras/Rohirrim
