Has anyone built up (and gamed on) terrain representing the ruins of LOTR Osgiliath? These are the only images I could find: picture

This is beautiful work: link This is an insteresting screenshot(?): picture On this map, I can't tell if the grey areas are meant to be flooded ruins (I don't read German): picture

The site is in German, but that map is in English. There appears to be a flooded spot in the upper left, and that is different looking than the other ruined areas. |

I assume you mean the dark grey area (as the light grey represents the River Anduin which divides the city in half). I'm not sure what it represents, but I don't think it's flooding, as I used my rather poor German to translate some of the text on the site. Do you see that island thing to the center right of the map? A large part of that island sunk (for lack of a better term) during the floods, and it isn't shaded darkly. I think that the Dark Grey represents the parts of the city that were destroyed/ruined during the fighting, as the bridge in the center of the map was destroyed (or damaged very heavily) during the fighting, and large parts of it are shaded dark grey (and they certainly weren't underwater, as it was a rather big bridge…) I think Farstar may be on to something though, maybe the dark grey represents the part of the city that WEREN'T flooded while the lighter grey is the flooded area. |

I was refering to the area that says "Flooded", actually. |

I know what you were refering to Farstar, I was expanding on the idea. I can load the map fine. If you can't, go to google images and search osgiliath or osgiliath map or somesuch derivative, its usually on the first page. |

That's weird. I guess I must have simply had a temporary problem opening it. Looks great now and I can now see what you guys are referring to. Thanks. CC |

I wasn't able to re-open that site for an hour or more. We may have "slash dotted" them temporarily. |
