The start and beyond - Lord of The Rings 3.0
I finished the map recently and did need some help now and then, especially since there are lots of hidden objects that you need to find. Never found any written walkthrough, but there are enough playthroughs on YT that can give you an idea of what you are supposed to do. I recommend this one:

It needed few days above 100 days.
I wasn't content with this result, made it again for my private interest and done with 96 days.
Then I discovered the possibilities with Admirals Hat and Boots+Gloves of Speed and I did the map in 38 days.
A good map, few critical things, but there exiists no map without any critical points. frifix.

I figured out how it worked, first you open the Quest guard to the West of erebor, then Smaug will open the Quest guard behind that one and taken the Orb that is hidden there and equip it. You get the Orb first after the fight, bit the Effect of the Orb Will be ActiveX during because Smaug will have it

thanks, Mattias.
well, I don't have any quests guards in the Smaug territory. so I managed to kill Smaug without the orb to move forward.
and I would say - I definitely would love to have this orb for the battle sauron and his 500 titans...

does anyone know why this is?
Author: corn flakes (Europe), 04-09-2020 20:36 Great journey - Lord of The Rings 3.0 I enjoyed this map a lot, it is one of best maps I ever played. I am also glad for the LoTR hero portraits which replaced the original ones, they are very well done though I wonder if they allowed to use in the game due to the copyrights of Peter Jackson. I think I am going to still use them for other map playthrough since they are so epic! Anyways I finished the map somewhere in 7nth month with Aragorn as main (got very nice Tactics skill to level up which helped so much). The hardest battles are in my opinion in the early game because you have not much useful spells such as resurrection. Once you get Clones then the game became much easier, even though there are some specific opponents that required lot of reloads to have minimal losses, such as the Lich King. Those can be very difficult because you have to rely on some luck, Usually the AI casts some weak spells such as fire shield or single slow. If the AI casts Haste, you are doomed (especially before getting resurrection).
Anyways some improvements I could suggest. I enjoyed lot to unlock some new allies but unfortunately some of them are quite unplayable as main hero. You could try to make every heroes playable as main to increase variety of new playthroughs. For example, it would be nice if we can use Frodo as main hero all time but he cannot learn bew important skills that are needed in battles because his skill slot is already filled. Then there is Gimli and the Treelord but Rampart towns do not produce any dwarves or dendroids so having them as main isn't viable (maybe let Rampart towns produce more different troops). I was excited to play as intelligence hero (Galydrael?) but she had Sorcery which is totally useless because you never get any damage spells. Instead of filling skills for heroes you could leave some of them empty for the player to level up. Also having some allied heroes as 99 is risky because they can overflow and then become back to 1. Maybe you could change them to somewhere 80 at maximum so they can level up on Libraries without overflow. Also, about overall difficulty I feel it was decent with Aragorn. But some battles can give you huge losses if you are unlucky, especially against several undead enemies with big powerstacks. One haste or teleport and you need to reload, otherwise challenging enough. Not sure how to fix those.
Anyways good job, I like to play it again with different main hero.

Author: Vjacheslav (Hungary), 20-05-2020 18:48 Like Isildur, Theoden, Snaga - Lord of The Rings 3.0 I think I little bit rewrote the story. I have Isildur, and Snaga. At the beginning of the game, I reach the green tent, and I stay next to the gate with Isildur. Gothmog did not attack me, and without the ring, he did not cross the guard. Somebody killed the other Tan hero, so Tan is vanished. After when I defeat Uruk-hai, I get Sackhles of War, and together with a Ring of Life (Frodo's one) I could cross the guard with Aragorn, and beated the Behemot's at the gate, and got free Isildur. I got the second Ring of Life from him. Not only Isildur survived the beginning. I also have Theoden. First I lose the Helm's Deep, but Grima did not attact Teoden, when he close next to the light blue gate. After Grima left, I captured back the Helm, build anything, and I've reach three weeks production from the castle, and I have 5 arcangels, several Champions, Troops, Archers, Monks. The rule, thet you must leave every day the city, and several weeks Grima when came back, he just captured back the city, stay there several weeks, and leave some army(horde of golems) at the city. So you had no chance to get back, but if you stayed next to the gate, Grima did not going to attact you. After I get the light blue tent behind Esgoratha after Smaug, Theoden could cross the gate, and collected a lots of Champions, and I captured Edoras. And that time, I also have a town portal spell, and I could killed Grima with Aragorn before Moria, and captured both three cities at this territory. The most epic moment was when I found Snaga at the prison. Without Gothmog help, he stayed at the prison. And that territory a hords of orcs, ogres, rocs joined me. So I have orc hero at my side.

Author: TTG (Thessaloniki), 12-05-2020 16:05 Like Emilia error - Lord of The Rings 3.0 I will give 5 because there are errors. At the beginning Emilia is running free with dimension door and can ruin everything. The first time i played he rescued Aragorn. So ok i restarted the game having lost a couple of hours. The second time i rescued Aragorn so i thought i was ok. But when i was to attack Saruman i find out that the jail that Treebeard was waiting was gone. Both heroes are needed to open gates to continue so the second time i wasted 20 hours for nothing. The creator should use something like only the red flag should pass to resque the heroes. Pity because it looked like a nice map

Author: Ariadna (Warsaw, Poland), 08-04-2020 20:04 Stuck with Gandalf - Lord of The Rings 3.0 I've really enjoyed playing this map until now. After I had defeated one of pink heroes and captured Annuminas and Fornost, I got stuck with Gandalf. I can't go anywhere. There're guards everywhere. So there's the Quest Guard that seeks for Cape of Conjuring, Roconter's Cloak and Cape of Velocity but I have only Cape of Conjuring, obviously. I was trying looking for other artefacts using View Air spell but it showed nothing I can reach. There's also the Seer looking for Garniture of Inteference, Surcoat of Counterpoise and Boots of Polarity but I have none of them. (I defeated Green Dragons hoping I could get some of them after winning but I only got Vial of Dragon Blood.) Next there're two Guards looking for Gimli and Aragorn (I suppose Gimli is in the prison but I need Aragorn to free him) and Light Blue Boarders Quard. I can't pass any of them. Bilbo and Frodo are still in Hobbiton, because I can't escape from Dark Lord without Aragorn.
So can anyone help me? What can I do to go further? Had I made some mistake earlier in the game (maybe the artefacts were hidden in previous part of the map?). I had a great time with this map and I don't want to get stuck forever.
