Balance: 3
In the start of the game the balance is good, but when the fellowship is all together, and with a good level, you can crush everything.
Creativity: 3
I like the heores and wizards that you have choose to play, but I think that the wizard of the fellowship must be Gandalf and not Aragorn, is strange to see Aragorn casting lightning bolts, hastes...
Map Design: 3
Is a good representation of the middle earth, but it could have more details.
Story/Instructions: 4
Additional Comments:
first of all:
this scenario is the best of the 3 scenarios of middle earth that are in this page for download.
I have liked a lot that when following the same journey that the fellowship the things go happening like in the book.
To end up:
-The history passes much quicker than in the book.(In 16 shifts I have already defeated Saruman)
-The followed methodology to defeat Saruon is contrary to the followed one in the book. (when you defeat a Nazgul you put on their ring to improve your abilities)
-Frodo instead of trying to destroy the ring stays the whole day in its tower waiting that you defeat Sauron.

Greets maker of Middle Earth. Couldn't email you, so here I comment.
I haven't played it (personally I have to look at all user-made maps in the editor), but here's what I gather from the editor. It looks well done, good placement of cities, and you sure fleshed out the heroes and items. Could use some more terrain gap-filling, but it looks like this is a Middle Earth map I will definitely play.
