Actually, no. I based age of warlords on an old amiga 500 turn based fantasy
wargame called warlords.
I think any LOTR mappack should get it's own folder and sounds, since it is
such a classic story that requires excellent sounds and a different game
play and style I think. Just my opinion.
Warcraft games are good for real time, but in TB it is hard to simulate
those types of games. We can come close, but sme things just don't
translate well. My starcraft mappack is slow going cause of the diffrences
between real time and turn based gameing, but I am getting there ,
hopefully.

or are you trying to make age of warlords the ultimate fantasy map pack game
like a combo of lord of the rings and dota2 and world of war craft and
minecraft?
