Yes. In fact, it's mentioned in the very first post in the Developmental Atlas thread, which is the very second thread listed in the Map Foundry forum.

Gee golly willickers! Who would have thought of a LOTR map?

Wait...almost everyone. Currently an 'original Middle-Earth' map is awaiting addition to the site for live play.

Yeah. Pretty appropriate for replying to someone who apparently won't waste his precious time even glancing at the forum before posting to it. If you can't be bothered to read anyone else's posts, why should we bother giving a polite reply to yours?

I'm not a big LOTR fan, so I didn't know that the Middle Earth was about LOTR. I do read most threads here. That thread I thought was about one of the other new maps that I already played, which is why I didn't bother reading it. I saw that LOTR board, and just wondered if people had looked into making it here. All he had to say was yes, and point me to the thread. Instead he gave a dick reply, so he's a dick.

Why don't we just let this die, or one of the mods can delete.

Just a suggestion

Why are people at this forum, so fast to let things die? It's funny when it's coming from people who didn't even post in the thread they want to die.

Perhaps you missed the humor in my post above.

Also if you have any ideas for maps, please post them in the Map Ideas sticky located at the top of the Foundry forum. And when you post an idea, please make sure to check around and see if it hasn't been posted before Research is always worthwhile. The Developmental Atlas also lists maps that are currently in development--it can be a handy tool.

Proving yet again that sarcasm doesn't work in forums. Welcome to the site, Bushie.

Tribute to Middle Earth map.

The best map of Conquer Club by far. Thank you for making it! I know it was a lot of work to create, but thank you so much!

Beautifully designed and beautiful continent layout, everywhere has access to everywhere else. It increases the expectation of maps alot.

The best thing about it is you cant actually tell its from Lord of the Rings, i hate LOTR, but this map is an exception.

Europe is unbalanced. Whoever controlls either Africa or Near East Spreads to encomapss the whole south and then there is almost no way to overcome him or her.

Hooray for Middle Earth!

Strangely, I always thought Russia and Scandinavia was the best location, Riy. In fact, I never won a game in this map starting by the south.
Yeah, I like a lot the Europe map. :D
