The Game
The game is simple like in every Sheep Tag you will have a team of wolves and a team of sheep, there will be six of them on both sides.

For those not familiar with sheep tag, the sheep will use their building ability to build farms to avoid getting caught by the wolves. The sheeps being able to build these small blocking objects allows them to do all kinds of building combo's, in this version sheeps can use lumber to increase their cap (food) of building farms (Default at 50).

Points for the sheep will be obtained by rescueing their fallen comrades, in this version the sheep will have to rush to the northeast or southwest of the map to activate a circle that opens the gate to the rescueing area for 60 seconds. For rescueing a friend the player will also receive a certain amount of lumber!

Points for the wolves are obtained by killing sheep, they will also receive 50% experience and some gold. Also by destroying farms wolves will be able to receive gold and experience but only a very small amount, they cannot receive points by doing so.

The team that has the most points after 30 minutes wins.
What is the difference?
- Half-time

Probably the biggest difference with other sheep tag maps (Never seen one with something similar like this)

When the wolves have captured all sheep they will be awarded with 25 points for their entire team, team scores will be displayed and the game paused. After a short period of time the Half-time will kick in. Sheeps will be turned into wolves and the wolves will now be sheep, the game begins again!

This feature enables both teams to play as sheep, as that seemed to be an issue with players not willing to be wolves. (Wolves are pretty strong in this map btw!)


- Difficulty

The wolves have an easier time capturing the sheep, in all other sheep tag maps the sheep were rather imba and people would not like it to be wolf. In this map it's actually much more fun to be a wolf because the sheeps cannot hide, they are pinged on the minimap every 3 seconds and wolves can also attack trees so they won't get in they're way.

Wolves also have many destructive abilities and nasty ones, can buy item rewards to help them win etc.

- Quality

I guess the quality of this sheep tag is better than those others made, no offense towards all those creators but it's just that most sheep tag maps were very old and not compatible with TFT (Not that it matters). Most of the time things were done very fast and roughly although the gameplay itself was nice.

Misc
Any bugs (Other issues) found or anything please tell me and i will look into them and try to fix them!

NOTE - This map is open source! Simply because i don't know which security program to use and it would probably not be compatible with Windows Vista. I hope this does not turn out again to be a total mistake because of thousand other sheep tag copies and trash maps wandering around on epicwar.com!

If it turns out to be then i will just get some protection on it.

That's about all i have to tell about this.

It sounds awesome! Especially half-time part!

Edit: It was NOT awesome! There was so many places the sheep could hide, and the wolves couldnt get you. Also the gate is only open for 60 secs is just TOO LESS! And I also think there shud be more ways in than only one.

WARNING - Sorry for people who downloaded the old 1.1c and noticed the trees weren't working again! I've fixed it now, it has been a real long fix for everything and the model seemed to fuck up everything.

Sorry for the inconvience, please download the new fixed one if you like!
