Map description:

Created based on the Middle-earth map from The Lord of the Rings.
There are many such maps on the internet; I personally used this one:
http://tolkienists.ru/_ph/6/471004981.jpg

The nature, cities, and location of all significant places are based on it. There is no plot or "native" characters, such as Frodo, Gandalf, and the rest of the gang.
It is possible to explore and conquer the world of Middle-earth for each faction, starting in the most suitable conditions:

Order - the city of Suri-Kila, the snowy Forochel;
Chaos - the city of Carn Dûm, the ominous Angmar;
Nature - the city of Caras Galadhon, the green Lothlórien;
Might - the city of Dorwinion, the Brown Lands in the Wild;
Death - the city of Barad-dûr, the dark Mordor.
Life - the city of Bree, just Bree...

The goal is standard - to capture all the cities.

The Dungeon is located in Moria. I'm sorry, I didn't have the strength or desire to draw ALL of Moria, but its reduced version contains everything you need:
a bunch of dwarves, many treasures, and even a Balrog, whose role was brilliantly played by a group of Devils.
Also, underground you will find the Dwarven city of Erebor and the ruins of Annúminas, i.e., the basements of Annúminas, or rather, what remains of it.

The map is divided vertically by a chain of the Misty Mountains; the passage is either through Moria or south, through the Gates of Rohan. This is a garrison between Isengard and the Rohirrim capital, Edoras. In the city, King Théoden sits with his niece Éowyn and Gríma Wormtongue. In the plains, as is proper in Rohan, there are various types of cavalry. Nearby is another neutral city with the army of Lord Denethor. Remember that psychopath who wanted to burn himself and his sons, Faramir? A terrible story.
The remaining neutral cities are empty.

The map has been completed for Order; no "impassable" roads, "unliftable"
items, or other unpleasant surprises were found.

Technical details.
----
The map was created in the editor from HMM4-Alexander.
If you put it in the maps folder, go into the game, and this scenario
is not visible in the list, then move the map to any other location, open
it with your Map Editor, make some small change, or
simply rename it, save it, and put it back into the maps folder.
I sometimes encountered this when downloading other people's maps from the internet;
the described method helped.

The map is interesting. I enjoyed playing it. However, access to Mordor should only be granted after capturing all other cities on the map. Otherwise, you clear half the map, and then Mordor is right there. It's not as fun to go to the Shire after that. I played as the Mages.

Whether you like it or not, it has to be done. Because the goal is to capture all the cities, without any storyline. So, whether Mordor is the first or the last in this case doesn't matter.
