Helms Deep reworked by Trebor797

Hello everyone, this is the classic Helms Deep map created originally by JackEric360. I gathered some knowledge in map making the past years and remembered having played many battles on this map (I even made some versions of it before). So I thought with all the new knowledge I can give this map a new touch, by improving and adding some things.

The improvements I made in this version:
• Adding deployment zone options for anything up to 3v4 (so any constellation is possible except 4v4)
• removed gun towers and replaced them by arrow tower and non-functional towers
• changed the ground type to Sand to match more with what it looks like in the movies
• added no-go zones on the top (before units used to route in that direction and revealed the (Rohan)Cavalry
• added towers there so people don't send up units (intended for multiplayer games)
• reworked deployment zones so the attackers won't spawn too far away and can use artillery now
• improved ramp so units fit on the full width
• fixed an issue that troop could not be placed infront of the lower gate
• added a bit more forest so that attackers and defenders can hide some troops at the start on the lower level
• added some 2 custom "buildings" (technically they are not real buildings, but put together of hundreds of smaller pieces that exist in the base game - so no mod is needed); those can be used by troops and give them a nice cover from enemy archers

Good to know: Don't place units on the big tower at the start, but send them up later, otherwise soldiers can be stuck below the floor.

As Creative assembly used to release "updates" that broke custom maps for the base game it is unfortunately necessary to set game back to the old version. However it is really simple and if you set up some shortcut folder it will only take a few seconds to do in future.

1. Create a new folder on your desktop (I called mine "old mod manager" but thats up to you)
2. Download the files from here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/napoleon-tw-files-prior-to-ca-patch-april-2023/downloads/shogun2-files-to-add-main-folder-modmanager and place them in your folder and unzip them
3. Go where your game is stored, in my case: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War SHOGUN 2 ; I advise making a shortcut to this folder on your desktop too
4. Copy the files you downloaded and place them in the other folder
5. If you want to have the normal game version back, all you gotta do is going to Steam --> right click on the game --> Properties --> Installed Files --> Verify integrity of game files. Then wait a moment and everything is back to normal
6. So in future all you have to do is, copy and paste the files for the old game version and verify integrity of game files for the current game version and thats it

If you got any question always feel free to ask and I will see if I can help :)

Now I wish you a lot of fun playing and please give feedback, so I know what I can do to improve the map!
