Vampire Hunters - Rebirth
a FM concept, by TFlan​

Background of Project:
A few months ago, my dad and I were talking about video games. We landed on the subject of WC3 and our favorite map, FM Vampire Hunters. A few weeks later, I started a side project, for my spare time, of recreating that map. This is the result of subtly adding to a map over the past few months.

Description:
Lore:
After years of hiding, the vampires of Sabbat have emerged in the countryside of Silvermoor, where the citizens have once again called apon their holy defenders to fight back and vanquish them!

Straight-up:
Two teams, Vampires and Holy Defenders, scavange the countryside fighting over the very souls of Silvermoor. The vampires must run around killing every citizen they can, gathering souls to conjour an army to overtake the holy defenders' city, while the defenders protect the citizens, release the souls that are being pulled into the vampires lair, and build their own army to vanquish the vampires.

Suggested Players: 3v3, 4v4, 5v5
Map Size: 160x160
Playable: 150x148
Tileset: Lordaeron Summer

Never played tree tag.

The map is from the early days of Reign of Chaos (2002 - 2005). The last released version by FM, Force Majeure, was v2.79. Here is their description:

FMVH - Vampires are laying seige to the town and the countryside. Players have 16 heros to choose from (8 hunter, 8 vampire) with whom to accomplish their goals. The vampires need to raze the hunter's town hall, the hunters need to kill a certain number of vampires (or survive 7 days).

For the vampires: You must run around collecting souls, which spawn by killing the citizens and then head towards the soul collector. By doing this the vamps will level, gain resources, and spawn zombies after the corpse decays. To win: must kill the hunters town hall.

For the hunters: Must kill the vampires by any means they can, stop the collection of the souls, and defend against any incoming attacks towards their town hall. When the souls spawn, they automatically head towards the soul collector in the vampires base, the hunters have a chance to then intercept the souls and 'rescue' them. Causing the vamps to lose their resources and the hunters to gain theirs. Hunters gain gold by killing the zombies and spawned armies. To win: kill enough of the vampires so their lives run out, or survive a week.

What a coincidence

A few months ago i went to play FMVH and realized with the new patch it no longer worked, so i set out to make my own version, which is currently in the beta test.

Guess we will be in competition with eachother :thup:

Great minds think alike?

Yea I discovered that as well. However, I was able to open the v2.79 in the editor.

Sending you a PM.
