The first part in the KoTM trilogy has been released, the Heroes of Avalon. Check it out, its pretty cool.\

Story-

The King of the Mountain is the story of Thorin, son of Balin and heir to the
throne of Avalon, who must re-take the Mountains of Avalon and return them to
their former masters, the mighty dwarves. To do this, Thorin must gather seven
companions and journey around the world to reach the King of the Mountain, the
mighty dragon Smaugh, and slay him. Since the dwarven pathway was blocked off
by a landslide 200 years ago, Thorin and his companions must travel past the
land of the Mountain Giants and into a land dwarves had never before set foot
upon.

In the first installment of the trilogy, the Heroes of Avalon, you lead your band
of heroes out of the city of Avalon..directly into the most dangerous territory in the
world. Use your heroes arsenal of weapons; including spears, arrows, and healing powers,
and gain abilities like extra armor to defeat your foes.


Features:

- A huge 510X510 map fully detailed with eye candy from the very begining to the very end,
including a beautiful city of Avalon ,filled with active villagers and carts, inspired by
PhatFish's Pretty Town!

- Choose from up to 9 heroes; each with their own special abilities and bonuses.

- Fight up to 4 bosses: From the mighty lord of the icy mountains to the powerful sorcerer
in the troll city of Kaindur..

- An interesting, original story-line.

- Talk to villagers for hints.

- 5 in-game cinematics.

- Great Music from the Elder Scrolls III:Morrowmind.

Hope you like it, I espiacally worked on the map quite a bit..although some people complain about terrain mixing. If there are any bugs, please tell me so I can fix them (email:scooter_logical@hotmail.com).

I am having a few problems with heroes of avalon.
first, When the cimatics finish at the beginning, the whole world map is revealed. 2nd, I am unable to control the two main characters, but instead I control the trolls down below. Is this normal? I need a little advice, thanks

This is basically the hobbit. You even used the exact same names from the book.

It isn't the hobbit. Its got a completely different stories. I've only taken the dragon's name and some dwarf names. Infact, I took Balin and Duri from Myth: The Fallen Lords.

And even if it is similiar to the hobbit, is that such a bad thing? Have you even tried it? Its quite interesting..and I can say that because since AoM's release only few scenarios at this magnitude have been made. Most other scenarios are like 10 minutes long,

Atleast try it before judging it based on its story, which to me is a good one. When you see the second part I am creating for the Titans, you will see just how different from the Hobbit it is. Heroes of Avalon was merely an introduction...

The name Balin actually comes from the Poetic Edda, as does most of Norse mythology. Both Tolkien and the author of that Myth such and such "borrowed" the name... I'm not sure about Duri, though... but I believe Smaugh came from the Edda as well.

But that's neither here nor there. Sounds like a pretty good campaign though.

Heh..Cheezy gave it a 4.8, so if he liked it, I'm sure you will!...How 'bout trying it out?

In my opinion, The Hobbit is better than LOTR. So a scen BASED around the Hobbit, again in my opinion, has to be good! Which it is! So...good work.

Presenting...
Lord Of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Saga reproduced exclusively for Age Of Mythology
Coming soon..in Fall 04
