"There's a killer in our midst..... and it's one of us."

This is an altered melee where two players are randomly selected to try and kill the others. Great if you have a lobby full of intelligent, deceptive players.

This map is centered around the idea of Phantom Mode from StarCraft Legacy. It's left unprotected with the intention of portability- The ability to copy and paste the triggers, and modify the game constants to create more Betrayer maps.

At the beginning of the game everyone is assigned a role; two players are selected as Betrayers. One player is selected as the Knight, and the rest are assigned the role Commoners.

Betrayers aim to cause confusion and havoc while concealing their identities. They pose as normal Commoners. Betrayers also gain extra resources and an increase to food limit overtime. There's a need for them to watch their unit production to conceal these facts.

The Knight is the leader of the Commoners. Having a slight increase in income at the start, the Knight begins the game more powerful than either of the Betrayers. However as time progresses, the Knight falls behind on income and food limit. A good strategy for the Knight is to reveal himself right away, and try to get the Betrayers discovered as soon as possible.

A Commoner is just that. Has no special role other than to follow the orders of the player who claims he is the Knight.

In addition to being assigned a role, every player is assigned a profession. Professions don't have an effect on your goal like your role does, however do give you an additional bonus.

- Army General: All of your ground units are graced with 1 bonus armor, 15% attack speed boost, and 50 life.
