This is a scenario designed for Sid Miers Civillisation II on the PC. The scenario set you in Middle-Earth immediately prior to the commencement of hostilities in the Third Age, "The War of the Ring". There are seven civillisations involved, The Elves, The Dunedain, The Dwarves, Rohan, Saruman, Sauron and The Free Peoples (Hobbits, Eagles etc). There is a full new set of units, advances, improvements and Wonders to discover. You can go the military route discovering ever more dangerous units like the Olog-Hai or the Rangers or you can try to discover the secrects of the world by reasearching the palantirs. Whatever your pleasure or tactic, you can follow your own route to victory, or defeat.
Version 2 is almost identical to the first version, the difference is that it now has a Pedia.txt file (thanks playtesters *grin*). You can now look up all the new units etc in the Civlopedia. If you already have the first version you need only download the file below and add it to the same directory as the other scenario files.
To use the scenario you must have Civillisation II on your computer. If one does not already exist, you must create a folder within Civ II called scenarios. Then create a folder within scenarios called LotR (or whatever you like) and expand this scenario in to that folder. You may require Civ II Worlds in Conflict or Civ II Fantastic Worlds, but I hope not. Enjoy and let me know of any improvements you can think of, or problems you find.
