Is there anyone who knows where I can find the latest version of Harlan Thompson's lord of the rings scenario?

I just downloaded my copy last weekend from Mr Tembas Site. One big hint for you when you start to play. For those units that his readme says you can't build again if you change production - Don't use those cities to view your possible unit production choices It auto-reverts to settlers if you do.
Lot's of luck and have fun.

Makeo, thanks for the warning. The version that I downloaded was Harlan's.

There's actually a fourth version of the scenario made by Harlan Thompson, where he made the scenario is a lot harder. I downloaded it oncw but since I formatted my harddrive I can't find it again.

Yes - this is a grwat scenario. I sufferred a marginal defeat playing first time with no reloads. I lost most of Gondor but got Frodo to Mt Doom and wiped out most of the enemy but the clock just beat me before I could easily re-capture all of my lost cities.... Best game I've played  It was on the Apolyton dl database along with my Gwani modpack but something really odd has happened there?? Does anyone know? A lot of files have just disappeared - Lord of Rings was no. 4 in the modpack Top 20 with over 300 downloads (my Gwani at 16) but it's all changed??
I've e-mailed Kwang....

Mr Temba,
Does the Auto/Cancel routine work for the Hobbits also? That was where I got messed up and went back to start over.
Thanks,
Ken

it should...the same principle applies. Just click on "AUTO" and then it should say "MILITARY ADVISOR" "DOMESTIC ADVISOR" or "CANCEL" and then hit cancel. Easy.

The best strategy in this scenario is, I belive: Use the pikemen as cannon-fodder to hold of the forces from Mordor, disband most of them and build rangers and use them for defence, pillage all the fortesses on your side of the river, and move your pikeman to the front. When the enemy breaks through your defences, make sure you have pillaged the fortresses, and when you feel you can't hold the city north of minas tirith, let mordor take it, and bribe it, and you will probalby get two or three Nasgûls. Use Aragorn, the ents to take Isengard. Go through Sauruman teritory with Frodo and Sam, cross the river anduin and enter Mordor form north. In north use all your unique units in Rivendell an Eagle's eyrie to destroy all troops marching against you on open ground. When they start to run out of troops, you can begin yor offencive. Only rely on rangers to protect your cities in Gondor, pikemen are useless. If you follow this strategy you must win.

i'm not sure what version it is I've been playing....what is the difference between 4 and 3?
yes, bribing is a good way to win! go for the witch queen espescially, but any nazgul is a good buy!

Ha, I beat my own record on this scenario today. I conquered all of Midgard with three rounds left to play.

Maybe you mean middle earth. Midgard is the name of a Microprose scenario, and has no connection to Lord of the Rings.

Yes, i mean't middle earth of course. Midgard is the name of the world in nordic mythology, where Tolkien took the name Middle Earth from, and name in the Swedish translation of the books.

You can always kill them yourself, It wouldn't be ethically right though, ha ha.
