Ever noticed that Skeletons are underused, underpaid, and generally just plain ignored in most maps?
Sad world...
So, here's the map that's going to change that.
There's basically two options(*):
- you'll never again want to even come close to anything even vaguely related to Skeletons
- you'll simply hate them
- you definitely never again even so much as look at them
(*) or three or more...
Revenge of the Skeletons
A custom free for all map by AceHart.
The usual [del]suspects[/del] rules apply:
- train troops
- raise an army
- kill anything that isn't yours
- I still don't like long drawn-out maps
- I still don't like maps where nothing happens
- you may add a computer player or two or plenty more if you want (yes, you do want)
Recommended setup: 10 players.
Mages
Your most important, strongest and almost only Caster.
He raises the entire rest of your pathetic excuse for an army.
Crypts
Train Units.
Can be taken over by beating them into submission.
They will surrender to whoever dealt the most damage (<- read that again).
Defeat
When all of your Crypts and Mages are gone, so are you.
Victory
- Last man standing
- Whatever is still standing when the timer expires
How to play
Well, start the game, load the map, put plenty of opponents, ...
Any and all comments welcome.
Have fun.
Yours,
AceHart
Q: Those comps are unbeatable
A: Cool
Q: Those comps play lamer than Bob the Builder
A: Cool
Q: Seriously though, I just can't beat them!
A: Cool
Q: My Mages die like flies!?!?
A: Works as designed
Q: After some longish battle, the comp came with something called "Greater Dark Minion"; where the heck did that come from?
A: From his Skeleton Warriors
Q: Um, what?
A: Units gain experience from killing, or casting for Mages
Q: They all expire though
A: Yep
Q: Mages too?
A: No
Q: Actually, I could win just by hiding a Mage in the corner?
A: Works as designed
Q: This would be fun for team-play
A: Not really, no
Q: This wouldn't work for team-play
A: Not really, no
Q: <...>
A: This concludes today's Q&A session
Final notes:
- The map looks poisonous green. That's by design.
- Yes, there is a Furbolg in the map.
- No cliffs anywhere.
- /me likes replays, especially multi-player
- Unfortunately, no Bothans whatsoever died in the making of this map.
