Mordor v1.0.6

Mordor is a custom Rust map that turns the game into a medieval world based on The Lord of the Rings. The ground is rocky and volcanic, broken by flat land for building, and somewhere in the ash rise the places every fan knows: the Black Gate, the tower of Barad-dûr and the fires of Mount Doom.

Built for a medieval server

• No electricity anywhere, and no keycard puzzles: no green, blue or red cards.
• Puzzles are location-based or parkour, with traps and drops into the void.
• No monument markers. Players discover each place by exploring, both on the surface and beneath it.
• Four loot tables in wooden chests: primitive and medieval items, resources and weapons, basic blueprint fragments, and advanced blueprint fragments. The usual medical and food crates are there too, and the loot table files are included so you can edit them.
• NPCs come from two free plugins, one that spawns them and one that gives them clothing, loot and weapons. You can change how they look and what they carry.
• Flag images for Gondor and Mordor are included.

Places from Middle-earth

There are no official monuments. Instead players hunt for towers, a dock, Black Ships, lumberjack huts, orc fortresses, orc camps and orc villages, caves (some with construction zones) and a maze. Then come the great names: Torech Ungol, the lair of the spider Shelob; the Morgul Mines, stronghold of the Witch-King; the Black Gate; Barad-dûr, tower of the Eye of Sauron; and Orodruin, Mount Doom, where the Ring was destroyed. Secret locations reward the thorough.

Building, spawning and events

A massive fortress sits on a cliff with a vast flat area, guarded and surrounded by flat construction zones, and an allied fortress has a construction zone of its own. Two enormous flat areas are set aside for the Raidable Bases plugin, and players cannot build there. The Giant Arena Zone is ready for Death Match and Last Man Standing events, with the configuration files for the plugins it needs.

Players spawn in towers spread over the map, each with custom recyclers, workbenches, furnaces, a refinery and a chimney. Prefer beach spawns? Remove the Spawn Point volume in RustEdit.

The map covers 4,000 m with 106,378 prefabs and 29.5% buildable land. Expect 7 caves, 50 buildable rocks, 4 islands, 3 rivers, one lake and no railroads. A map protection plugin is included. For the full mood, run the server in Primitive mode and use a weather plugin for clouds, thunder and a dark sky.
