erm...i hardly think that discussing banning reasons publicly is relevant to a scenario announcement...could be embarrasing, too...sorry i just had to mention that. after all, if one of YOU got banned, would you want everyone else talking about it? *morality stops surfacing*
anyways, good map, but, just to reiterate what everyone else has been saying, it really does look a wee bit too much like Minas Tirith. Helm's Deep was not a multi-tiered citadel like you have shown. in fact, it was specifically mentioned as having only one wall, the massive Deeping Wall, which protected Helm's Deep itself. Then, once you reach the Hornburg (Helm's citadel), there were a series of several smaller but still substantial walls that protected the fortress itself, which was supposed to be a large tower-like complex (the wonders you have are good for that purpose) which connected to the Glittering Caves, where the people of Rohan took refuge during the siege. However, you have done several very admirable things with this scenario:the inclusion and ACCURATE DEPICTION of the culvert in the wall, the Deeping Stream, the sheer cliffs which the hordes of Saruman attempted to scale during their retreat, and, most importantly, NO F---ING ELVES! The inclusion of the Elves completely tipped the scales during the movie, so I am please to see that your scenario appears not to feature them.
very long post, i know, and i apologize...im something of a LOTR fanatic (ive read the books 27 times to date), and i tend to carry on a bit when talking about the books. anyway, this looks like a fairly good scenario, and one which sticks fairly close to Tolkien's vision. I await it eagerly.
Good luck.
