Anyone remember that huge LOTR custom map called The Ring Wars or something which had a LOT of custom skins/spells/terrain designs in it? I remember how those would last for hours and how fun it was. Also, you couldn't go wrong with Footmen Frenzy either.

If that were a stand-alone videogame, it would be my favorite of all time. The best. The elves owned.

It should've been because it was loving amazing.

The Free Peoples of Middle Earth were (played by each player, 14 players total):

Gondor
Rohan
The Ents (Entmoot)
The Shire
Rivendell
The Dwarves (by the lonely mountain)
And the Fellowship of the Ring

Sauron and his Forces were:

Mordor (Sauron)
The Nazgul and Minas Morgul
The Horadrim (they even had the elephant skins!)
Goblins of Moria (The balrog hero had a skin too!)
Easterlings
Saruman / Isengard
I can't remember the 7th one

Anyway the premise of the map was to destroy the ring by putting in Mt. Doom but that was basically impossible unless you could defeat the Mordor and Nazgul/Minas Morgul players. However, if the Saruman player manages to kill Frodo and pick up the ring he drops he becomes this mega-badass super unit that becomes hostile towards the Sauron player and his allies as well! It was so fun when that happened because then everyone on both of the original sides would team up against Isengard. But it was amazing, the amount of detail, skins, terrain, achievements, upgrades, you name it. I'm surprised it didn't get a sequel or some sort in the same vein that DotA did with DotA 2.
