This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
In a land of countless perils and infinite opportunities you begin your journey. A world where the Church wars the Northern Pagans, where trade flourishes throughout the lands, a world where crafts and trades fill the days and wolves control the night.
Basics and Tips
- You can only sell items at the Town Market.
- You can revive your hero at the Farm House or the Town Tower.
- Mana will be reffered to as Inspiration.
- Heroes can only gain Inspiration from "Companionship", in other words from being around other characters.
- You can buy coins from the Merchant's Guild which can be sold for the same price. (Stops you from losing money)

JobsJobs
Hunting
Get money from hunting around the land, and selling the hides at local town markets.
To begin hunting you will first need a Hunter Equipment, whick can be bought from one of the two guilds found in north-west. (To ping these type -hunting)
Hunting can be the fastest way to get money earlier in the game if used properly. The hunting system is simple: if you kill a wild animal (rabbit, wolf, deer etc.) while you wear the Hunting Gear, the killed animal will drop hides or furs which can be sold.
Hunting Bands are formed by players in the early game, which is simply a group of heroes hunting together. This way they will all gain inspiration from companionship and will be able to use Heroic Might ability.
Fishing
Get money from fishing from various fishing spots along the coasts and rivers, and selling the fish at the local town markets.
To begin fishing you need to travel to one of the Fisherman's Mills (to ping these type -fishing), and buy fishing equipment as well as a fishing manual wich will ping the locations of the most fishing spots.
Fishing is a very useful form of income; it is one of the few forms of income that isn't affected by the numbers of people doing it.
To fish you need to use the Fishing Equipment on one of the fishing spots found around the map.
Farming
Get money by buying seeds, planting them and then simply watch them grow.
To begin farming just buy seeds from the Farmer's Guild, plant them somewhere safe and return when they are fully grown to harvest them, and sell the item at the market.
Later you will be able to buy better seeds; to do this you will need to build a Seed House.
Notes: - Plants DO NOT grow in the snowy area.
- Animals will attack your plants.
Gathering
Get money by finding herbs and either selling them at face value or using them for medical or alchemical process.
To begin gathering you will need a Gathering Equipment from a Hunter's Guild (Ping these with -gathering), then you simply need to use the equipment anywhere around the nort, and wait while the user looks around to find herbs. After some time herbs will be found, or not, so you need to look again.
Note: - When the Gathering Equipment is used it will take some time to find herbs.
- Gathering Equpment can only be used by your hero or your wife.
Alchemy
Get money by making potions using herbs and others items found in the north. Alchemy may not be the best income resource at first, but it will be useful. To begin alchemy you will need a Cauldron which can be bought from a Hunter's Guild. You will then need to obtain herbs to extract their properties. (This can be obtained through Gathering)
Founders of the North has a unique alchemy system that uses the properties of certain items rather than the items themselves.
Basics: - All herbs have properties which can be extracted with the Cauldron.
- These properties will then be added to your "Pool".
- The properties in your Pool can be used along with Potion Vials to make various potions.
- Currently you can obtain vials from Caravans and Leonardo the Thinker.
Herding
Get money by raising sheeps and pigs, and later kill them for profit.
To begin herding you will need to build a Barn, and this cannot be done at the very start of the game. Once you build a Barn you can begin training pigs and sheeps which will gain MP or "get fatter". When these sheeps or pigs are killed the owner of the killed unit will gain gold equal to MP of the unit.
Note: - Other players and wolves can kill your animals and you'll lose your profit, so keep them in a safe place.
- DO NOT kill them when they are less than 200 MP because you paid 100g to train them, so it would be a lose of money.
Merchantry
The concept of trade is simple: each good is sold at different values on the three towns. This way you get gold on the diference of price; however the price of all goods will increase when the supply of that good will decrease in that town.
Market Repot: Buying this item will display the current prices of all goods in the town. This item can be found in each of the Town Markets. (to ping these type -market)
Later Jobs
Banditry
Bandit play involves hiding from patrols and running from town guards. Chase town defenseless travellers and trade caravans to make a living. You will become a bandit when you die and have no means of reviving yourself. (this is when you have no Farm House or a Town Tower)
It is not possible to become a bandit before grace period ends.
Tips: - Use the Sneak skill to slip in and out of towns when you need to buy items, or find companionship at the Tavern.
- You will be able to sell items at your Hide-Out.
- Buying a torch will help you out at night. (be careful with the Hide ability)
- You can revive at the Hide-Out.
As you get money and infamy you will be able to build a Bandit Camp, where you can hire others to work under your command and begin a path to become the bandit lord of the north.
Other Jobs
Production Chains
Some items can be used by buildings to make more valuable items, which can be sold for more money. This are the production chains.
E.g.: - Fish can be used with Fireplace to make Meat which can be sold for more money, if it's sold to the right market.
- Wheat and Corn can be used to make Flour at Windmill, which can be used after to make Bread at a Bakery.
Most buildings built by the Engineer are Tier 4, which are buildings that work to make more valuable items from less ones.
Mining
There are three types of raw materials that you can mine, but you can have only one mine; this means you will have to choose which material you want to prospect.
Iron: Iron can be used to make weapons for your units; this is the most common type of material.
Silver: Silver can be used to make goods to sell, and can also be used to make the best weapons if you have Iron Ore as well.
Sulfur: Sulfur is used to make a very valuable good to sell, as well as other valuable items. It is the rarest material.
Screenshots
EventsNightfall
The importance of day and night has been greatly stressed in this map, as many aspects of the game will change during the night:
- During the night all units will experience reduced movement speeds.
- There is a massive decrease of the line of sight during night.
- All wolves will begin hunting at night and will call for their pack if they attack you.
- There are some places that can be entered only at night.
Siege
It's stupid to think that you will be able to crush a powerful enemy town with just one attack; this is almost impossible. To destroy a town you will need to "Siege" it; this is where you stop your enemy from leaving their town by building your own defences around it as you first attack.
Awakenings
Awakenings are when a boss is spawned on the map by a player who has an item called "Special: Dark Age Literature", which can be earned by answering the Fun Quizz correctly. Each of the spawned bosses will drop an Artifact, an item of great power. To perform an Awakening you must seek out "Talia The Collector" a wandering NPC who will be able to spawn bosses if you hold the Dark Age Literature.
Calamity
Calamities are terrible events called on using Special: Dark Age Literature, which can be obtained by answering the Fun Quizz correctly.
Calamities may be difficult to deal with but those who are willing to deal with them will be rewarded with special items; some calamities have a boss that must be killed to end them, others are not so simple. It is difficult to deal with these on your own, so you may need help from others in order to survive.
Some items obtained trough Calamities:
- Heart of Darkness
- Plague Essence
Unsealing
Unsealing is an ancient art of the north; it has the ability to release the true power of an object.
Unsealing can be used to release the true form of an artifact. An unsealed artifact does not drop when the wielder dies, as it is bound to their soul and spirit.
Unsealing Artifact Blades: To unseal artifact blades you will need the Spirit of the North artifact obtained from the Great Owl Spirit Famriel. Simply bringing the two items together will release their true power. Blood Vengeance is unsealed with Heart of Darkness.
Renaming
To change your name type: -name [Desired name]
Companions
Companions reffers to the potential partners in the game, including:
- The Apprentice Merchant
- The Wolf Spirit
- The Sheperdess
- The Alchemist
To choose a partner you will need to find them around the map and use the "Ceremonial Ring" item ability on them. After doing so you will be teleported to the Northern Shire or the Great Church. Having obtained a partner you will now have access to more skills as well as their "Companionship". (To ping the locations of the companions type -companions or -wife)
Caravans and Travellers
Caravans and travellers are some of the many people that wonder the great north.
Caravans: Sell various useful items. Each caravans route sells a different special item; these can be very useful in turning the tide of a battle.
Travellers: Both travellers and caravans are converse targets to try and get a rare item or two. But mostly they are there to act as a feed to Bandit players.

The first one is mehworthy, and the second one is too blurry around the edges to fit with the chain theme. However, the third one... I'm really liking it. It seems like the radial blur on the blue FotN shadows are a bit exaggerated on the last one, though. They also seem slightly brighter than the rest. All in all, I still like the last one.

Well first of all English is bad!

I found 2 bugs with the bots:
1.they kill people,but don't take the coins(one city was full of those)
2.they are VERY strong...they attacked me in the grace period,right after i built farm house...they had a HUGE army,it was really big,and 2 bots attacked me in the same time,you should make them hostile to each other

I actually found the bots to be way too easy.. but maybe that differs with starting positions... but playing with bots really made me realize that bandit techtree needs a heavy expansion (imo). and ye, when u attack the bandits' buildings, the ai starts randomly turning the building
makin' it spin right round baby ! quite funny watching one of your opponents squirm like that, but it seems rather unuseful .. plus i realized that the squirming of a bot is rather pointless since no longer feel pleasure by destroying man-made machines

Type: Defense / Survival, Miscellanous / Other, Role Playing Game / RPG
Should be only: Miscellanous / Other
Icons for attack and damage are horrible
Here I edited for you some of them (At least I saw that you used them!)
If you want some more just ask!
Other than that game look ok!
Will check few more times again latter!

Thx for the icon Kobas, much appreciated ^^
As for the classification, most maps on hive are classified under a lot of fields; FOTN at least is fairly well suited to all of the categories above when played a certain way.
Also sorry about the delay on 1.13
@Domasi
Thanks for always updating the description
@Tleno
Dont think ive seen you on the forums, howcome?

I’m not sure which bugs you are referring to, but most (If not all) bugs mentioned do get fixed, the only significant issue around is the Mac compatibility and that is being worked on, but it is really like Lief says.
If you would be so kind as to post these bugs you are referring to I’ll see to it that they get the attention they deserve.
@Kobas
Ill hold you to that offer ^^
1.13 is up, just waiting on Domasi to do his thing and get it on Hive.

Hypothetically speaking, that would be quite a funny situation would it not, and I can only imagine it would be fairly awkward.
But if that is the case, lets me know when you stumble across those or others bugs ^^

Great map. There's so much stuff to do it in it that it's all just... whoa! You can definitely see that a lot of time and effort has gone into this.
Rating: 5/5. Radical map. And I also gave you a rep point.

This is a great game but 1 tweet.
It needs a trigger where you know a player unallies another player.

You know I'll tell you what I'm saying people on forum for this map about unallying
There is this rare and mythicall thing called "Allies" I think is under F11, so get ingame and try using commands in there for allying and unallying, its not very hard trust me. I'm using it all the time, and so are most experienced players.
For real now is it so damn hard to click on one single button and then on another one to Unally?

No, Blazer, I do believe he means that it senses if one person unallies another. For instance, if Red unallies Blue, it should detect that and Blue will automatically unally Red.

That’s would be a great help, I Look forward to it ^^
@Pandaren_God
Sadly no, all boss additions are still underway, currently working on Baron/Viscount/Earl bots and map expansion, among other things off course i.e. Item surge guilds etc…

@Siphonseal Guilds and bots > bosses, for a player boss is better than a npc one.

Damage | Armor |
| Pierce Attack = Animal Attack | Unarmored Armor - Animal Skin |
| Normal Attack = Fist Attack | Small Armor - Clothes |

| Magic Attack = Magic Attack | Large Armor - Magic Armor |
| Hero Attack = Magic/Enchanted Weapon | Hero Armor - Magic/Enchanted Armor |
| Chaos Attack = Ancient Attack | Divine Armor - Ancient Armor |
Ofc all icons can be replaced with different ones, I used this because they are from WE, so there is no credits!
But I think that you get point!
This is my suggestion/opinion, so tell me what you think?

i played your map and its awesome! but you should make the war between the church and the north guys more important, so you can joiin 1 of the sides, and capture maybe towns for them, and maybe add a posibility to change town income, becouse your town grows, but income not

Income grows with trade.
Towns are ussually neutral but you can use them for yourself, not a faction.
And I think there already are plans about the factions...
By the way, what about an item "Spice", that replaces the food item with more expensive and useful one? Like Roast + spice is Gourmet Roast.

These icons are great, sadly however I cant make a separate animal attack type for the rabbits, all attack types are already used.
Also you may not have noticed but melee attack is broken up into Heavy Weapons, Long Weapons and Normal Weapons, if you would make similar interface icons using the one used in FOTN already that would be great ^^
i.e.
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNImprovedStrengthOfTheMoon.blp
For Long Weapons attack type
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNThoriumMelee.blp
For Normal Weapons attack type
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNMarksmanship.blp
For Normal Ranged Weapons attack type
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNGolemThunderclap.blp
For Heavy Weapons / Siege attack type
And
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNHumanMissileUpTwo.blp
For Gunpowder attack type
Also I would very much appreciate icons for the defense types using the following:
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNHumanArmorUpTwo.blp
For Fully Armored types
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNThoriumArmor.blp
For Armored types
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNMoonArmor.blp
For Unarmored types
And
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAnimalWarTraining.blp
For Mounted types
If you are too busy or just lazy, would be great if someone else could throw these at me ^^
@Thingolus
Yes town income is a feature under construction; it will probably be done before guilds since its less work.
@Tleno
Yes both of these are currently being worked on.
As for spice it will be a trade good that can be imported once the north it self grows as a whole, so don’t expect it to show up until guilds are done (The idea of guilds it to expand the economy of the neutral towns as well as your own pocket so till then sadly it will be put off)
@Abc123
lol
If I didn’t respond to a post I simply over looked it (I have a tendency to do that) please repost and ill get right to it.
1.14 will be out as usual on Friday and will have a long awaited map expansion (Its reasonable and wont destroy any of the basing balances, it may affect the playing style of those who build in the north a fair bit though.
Also Tleno and Abc get on the official site!!
