Re Updated, safe to say it is now primo!
Ok, when I subjected this for you to download yesterday it was a bit of a nightmare for me as I was so tired it wasn't funny and I just wanted to get it over with. After a good night of sleep I awoke and decided to put my all into this scenario to make it worth anyones while to play. It is much more challenging, I worked out the kink where the armies before were sometimes congested within the keep. It runs more smoothly now and I also made it much more of a challenge. It is beatable as I made sure of it. I tweaked a few things and it also was suggested that I add some eye candy so I did. I also corrected some of the spelling errors (for the record I never claimed to profess spelling or grammar).
Now it is surreal, it really is challenging and fun with a grand surprise near the end as it was meant to be!
Get your villagers and friends to Helms Deep. First meet with the scout prodromos along the river path to make sure the way is safe. Select the king playedby Agamemnon and then right click on the scout prodromos. Then just sit back and relax until Aragorn (played by Bellepheron and later changes into Arkantos) falls. Then follow the road to get your brood to the keep where outside the gate the king must meet with the guard to gain passage. Again select the king and right click on the guard. Then defend the keep until help arrives. You must defeat all of your enemies to win. If the king dies, you lose!
Move as quick as possible when promted. When you get to the scout and interact with him by using the King, just sit back and relax until Aragorn falls. During this, the game will automatically take your villagers out of harms way. Your cavalry will meet you at the front of the keep. Take your villagers to the armoury to suit them for battle or as an alternate option task them on work but beware because you might want to upgrade weapons at armoury you have just enough resources for full, copper, bronze and iron so be carefull.
Elf played by Oddyseus, Dwarf played by Eitri. Gandalf played by Bellepheron as is Aragorn played by Bellpheron, however when Aragorn finally arrives at the keep he becomes Arkantos and later when Gandalf joins he is the Bellepheron. Kings Nephew by Achilles. Don't worry about upgrading units at barracks etc. they are already Champions. I suggest you save game when you get to the keep. I doubt anyone will win their first couple of tries. It is a challenge but is beatable as I made sure of it and whew I'm glad making this is behind me ;) it was worth it. You have just enough resources to ugrade to bronze, copper and then full iron. Enjoy playing this precisely accurate version of the movie!
General info:
Welcome to the 1 player scenario "2 Twrs Helms Deep Surreal" for Age of Mythology by David Jeffrey Spetch.
I think you will find it surprisingly similar to the actual movie. Don't forget to check objectives, hints and even the spotlight so you know what to do.
Once you have unzipped this file, copy and paste it into your age of mythology scenario's folder.
The scenario's folder is depending on where you installed Age of Mythology. It usually can be found in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\scenario\
But some people apparently install it in their documents, and if you are one of these people, try:
My Documents\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\scenario\
Oh and if you have Titans, I do not :) you will have to look for your scenario's folder on your own accord.
Any comments are welcome at beyond_ultimate@hotmail.com
You can also find me on You Tube by typing DavidJspetch in search. You can also find much of my work by simply typing "David Jeffrey Spetch" in any internet search engine. Even though I have cascaded through many sites over the years much of my more recent material you can also find on google and a fairly new site called Experience Project.
Enjoy!

Note: Don't be offended by anything I say... Cause you tend to get offended easily...
Playability: 3
Ok, uh, well.. Not very playable i would say. First part was good. But Sauron's army attacks way too fast, you get overrun on the first attack and you basically lose all your units. Afterwards, you basically sit back at the "keep" and try to win.
Balance: 2
Unbalanced, Sauron's army is too strong on Titan and yes, you did say to play this on Titan in the readme file. Gandalf's Jarls got obliterated almost instantly. Toxotes didnt even stand a chance against 50 trolls.
Creativity: 2
Basically sit back and watch your army get destroyed. Not very creative. You don't get much of a chance to win.
Map Design: 4
Map design was good. I loved the walking trees part, that place looked fantastic. Loved that broken down dam. Really resembled that part in the LoTR movie. Good eye candy over all though Helms Deep could've used more buildings and strategic points.
Story/Instructions: 4
Story followed the movie, instructions were clear. Were you supposed to get overrun and obliterated like in the movie?
Additional Comments:
After the enemy got up on that ramp place leading up to the keep, they just stood there, stuck. I had to quit the game because it wouldn't progress any further and there were no instructions for that part. Your army doesn't stand a chance, not a single one. Maybe next time you should allow the player to make more units, but not villagers. That way he can't spam units and he would have to think carefully what units he would make/build. That would give him a better chance and maybe he would want to replay the level if he loses, because he could do different things for a different outcome. By the way, no offense, but.. reviewing this after you made that post of leaving/complains, I am disappointed. You sounded like you had A LOT of confidence that your work would get a top-notch rating.
