Filling the Gaps: following in the footsteps of the Wildwood and the Angle

[k40rne]

We've been discussing all those regions predominately.

The only disputed areas were Harondor & Near Harad.

But talking specifically about this goalpost move... looking at non expansion, or mini-expansion, sized landscape additions the suggestion it will cover Harondor and Near Harad is pretty baseless. If we presume its going to startoff around Minas Tirith, the typical non expansion sized landmass addition would allow it to cover the Pelennor Fields, South Ithilien, and maybe parts of Southguard.

Even if they do a release the size of the Dwarf Holds, which included the Iron Hills and Grey Mountains, thats really only enough for Minas Tirith, Pelennor, South Ithilien, and Southguard... and even adding in southguard would make it bigger than that. To noy only do that, but also redo the rest of Eastern Gondor, and Central Gondor, as dawnless versions would be a level of new terrain that eclipses full expansions like Gorgoroth. And then to fill those areas with quests so it isn't just 80% empty is a task far beyond even what they've shown recently.

Ditto with Umbar, even if you slap a Gorgothoth sized map around Umbar(with the Mount Doom void taking the place of Umbar Bay) that still leaves such a massive space they would need something larger than Cardo/Swan to fill Harondor, and another map(Near Harad) between them to connect Harondor to Umbar. Unless they massively shrink Harondor.

You're the only one mentioning Minas Tirith here. I don't see where this comes from, but I guess we'll know by June.

I already said I didn't think it would be the full zones of Harondor & near Harad, it would likely be a Great River type partial sampling (just look how they handled the Brownlands specifically). I moved no goalpost, you just fail to listen or skip posts.
