Dwarrowdelf map started as an extension of the first mission map from BFME campaign (Moria) and ended as a huge modification project that took me about 1500 hours to do (no kidding !).
The action follows The Fellowship of the Ring from The Council of Elrond, through all the beautiful places of middle earth and finishes on the shores of Anduin with the departure of The Fellowship from Lothlorien.
There are 3 ways you can achieve this, the book-like way - through the mines of Moria, but you can also pass Charadras or The Gap of Rohan (through Isengard and then Fangorn).
After you reach the city of Caras Galadhon you can finish the map victoriuos or you can play the bonus missions.
This map could get a little bit lagy because i recommend you to play it on ultra high level of details and it's dimensions are huge (biggest possible), and also because when i made it i wanted huge epic battles, with lots of enemy units, so... that's what i did.
This being said, enjoy !

As some friends reported me a bug in the intro cinematic i have made some small modifications. The downloadable file is the new version.
Playability: 4.5
Fun to re-experience the Lord of the Rings story. I don't have BFMEI so it's the first time that I played the story on BFME.
Balance: 5
The map is difficult where it has to be. Caradhas is hard, but of course it can't be something else.
Creativity: 4.5
Good idea to let the player choose between Moria, Caradhas and Isengard, three totally different stories.
Map Design: 4.5
Good use of textures. I especially like Rivendell, it is just like in the book and films, a beautiful place. There's a lot to explore in Moria. Good cinematics too.
Story/Instructions: 5
It's the Lord of the Rings story, what else can I say?
Additional Comments:
It's clear that there's been put a lot of time in the map, it's surely worth to try out! Keep on the good job!

Creativity: 5
(this is not prett original dont missunderstand me i mean this is like a remake of bfme campaing first map. something cool would be if you would make a Silmarillion map campaing map like this one, yet this is pretty good the desing and code should have killed you so i'll give you my 5)
Map Design: 5
(Unbelieavable i'm an experienced mapper and yet found a little mistakes but it's acceptable hehe. anyway the texture and the size of the map is killing. texturing should have took lot of time good job)
Story/Instructions: 5

If you know the story (and who doesn' know it?) it should be easy to find your way. If you wanna explore all, there are many hidden rooms.
Balance: 5
All the battles are winnable althow some of them are hard. But if they were easy it wouldn't be fun.
Creativity: 5
The way some objects are used blows your mind. Also there are clever used terrain heights ecc
Map Design: 5
Simply brilliant
Story/Instructions: 5
The story - you know it/ instructions - enough not to bore you.
Additional Comments:
You have to play this as it may be the best single player map ever made!
Additional Comments:I guess you now that your map was reviewed by The Destroyer 001 on YouTube. He called it one of the best custom maps and I totally agree. Of course you get 5 points in every category, because your map is truly heaven.
