Basic Description



“ 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.”

Founders Of The North Is a map where you seek to rise from a lowly wanderer to become a great lord of the north, where you end up and how you get there is entirely up to you, but never forget that you are not alone in the north. Founders gives players a chance to explore a highly interactive world that is full of lore as well as majestic and harsh, such is the North.

Extract from in-game tutorial
“Founders can be played many ways, as a free-for-all battle royal over control of the north, played with politics, alliances, loyalty and backstabbing, you can even play co-op and defend the north from a common enemy…”

Further details into features of Founders Of The North can be found below.






Features




Founders provides a world where there are “countless perils and infinite opportunities” bellow you will find merely a handful of the unique systems and key features that makes Founders so engaging and entertaining.


Complex Simplicity
Founders offers various systems that are generally easy to grasp but often very hard to master, this allows a novice to play through a game with effortless ease while still allowing more ambitious, experienced or intuitive players to gain a well deserved competitive advantage over others, this makes for some really intense game play when faced with a skilled opponent.

Advanced And Unique Systems
Founders of the North has numerous advanced and unique systems such as the Trade system which applies supply and demand to the pricing of numerous valuable trade goods and raw materials, or the Guilds system which allows players to create business like entities that can be joined by other players as well as NPC factions, these guilds can exist to better The North, to fill your wallet, or to provide you and your allies with strategic weapons to win wars in ways you never imagined.

Multiple Ways To Play
The key aspect of FotN has to be the countless ways to go about becoming the one true lord of The North, or bringing peace to The North, or perhaps just ways to co-op against calamities, but be warned those who seek peace better have the power to obtain it; the price of peace is paid in blood. As Founders has both RPG and Builder elements you can chose at any point to switch your focus to the life of your founder, or to the progress of your empire. To fully understand this freedom you will have to play a few times.

A Scenic And Memorable Land
Your entire story will unfold in the majestic and lore filled world that is The North. The North is a beautiful scenic land that varies greatly from place to place, with memorable natural landmarks and soaring man-made landmarks that you yourself may one day construct. The lore bits placed all around The North creates an interesting and surreal world for you to play out your time in The North.

A Cold War In The North
With the Guilds system or by hiring or being a bandit player (Explained in-game) you will be able to engage in espionage. Espionage is just one of the military tactics you can employ in FotN to gain the upper hand. Using various espionage tools available you will be able to destroy your foes trade routes, place bounties on their people, destroy their harvest, and much more all without even declaring war…

The Enemy Of My Enemy is…
While there are countless ways to better your founder life and skills, ways to better your faction, as wells as destroy or hinder your opponents and allies, there are also times where the peoples of The North should unite against a common evil, the prime example being “Calamities” that shock The North and bring about much disaster (Explained in-game), or simply a player who has gotten too powerful and greedy and needs to be stopped. Founders has several systems that encourage communal playing as a post to players sitting in their little corner of the world then randomly attacking others. To obtain equipment as well as other goods and tools for your faction you will find yourself needing to trade with other players, or to demand these good form them as tribute or tax, as it is impossible to obtain all the resources available in The North without incurring huge costs.
You will also find that you will need help when engaging in most of the RPG aspects of the game such as dungeon crawling, which can be dangerous alone.






Further Map Info




Below are several extracts from the in-game “Founderpedia” to give you some idea about what you may experience during your time in The North.




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)

List Of Basic Commands
Equipment sellers: Pings the locations of stores that sell items needed to earn different forms of income.
-hunting
-fishing
-farming
-gathering
-wood
-tower
-market (Pings the locations of the three towns markets)
Town locations: Pings the locations of recommended places to found your new towns.
-town
Other commands:
-cam (Resets camera)
-cl (Clear messages)

More commands In-game!






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)

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.






Nightfall
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.


Besiege
It's stupid to think that you will be able to crush a powerful enemy town with just one massive attack; this is an almost impossible task.
To destroy a town you will need to "Siege" it, this is where you stop the enemy from leaving their town by building your own defenses around it as your first attack happens and building Training Grounds near their base (They can be built fast) stopping them from going to a market and taking away their source of income making them unable to fight back.


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 obtained from answering the Fun Quiz 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 awaken bosses if you are holding the Dark Age Literature when you buy the awakening item.


Calamities
Calamities are terrible events called on using "Special : Dark Age Literature" which can be obtained from answering the Fun Quiz 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 defeat these on your own; you might need the help of trusted allies if you intend to survive.
To start a "Calamity" Obtain two Dark Age Literatures and venture to the Overgrown Altar in the north (“-altar” to ping)


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.






There is a great deal more info in-game!

Withdraw money from the guild (Making drawings), doing so will lower your control over the guild but you will have direct access to funds amounting to how much you have invested with additional interested based on how much this investment has grown.

- Guilds will gain money primarily from sales to players
- Guild will also have extra base income generated based on demand for their individual service in The North, conflicting guilds may cause demand for others to increase while similar guilds may cause the opposite.

- Special guild items have been added (e.g. Deadly Weapon Poison capable of dealing massive damage over time to any opponent)
- Special guild services/functions added (e.g. Placing a bounties on units, sabotaging structures, placing mercenary ambushes etc…)
- Guild Houses will now be able display guild details (i.e. current guilds funds, last incomes, seat holders, seat holder control, etc…)

i was almost certain i stated this before, but apparently i haven't so i'll do it now.

the last time i was in contact with Shade was approximately 3 months ago (via steam). Sajira had effectively set up a steam group for FOTN by then, and nothing considerable has passed my nose since then.

Shade had continued developing the map, fulfilling many of the requested/planned features we had been negotiating prior to his hiatus. however, he stated it very clear to me that it was a "for friends" kind of thing, and wasn't exactly a public release. he did not make clear to me whether or not he had actually uploaded it online.

Epic War has one major fall-off when it comes to uploads and that is credibility. according to the upload dates, all the "v 1.25"s were uploaded in 2012 or prior, which says quite a bit about the nature of the map in itself. whether it is shade himself or not is debatable but rest assured it is almost certainly not official. the forums were still alive at that time, and only went offline early this year.

so please, if you intend on finding a proper updated version, your best chances are through messaging previous forum moderators (which most have moved on or are inactive now, i am one but i'm probably not much help myself), or pursue the FOTN group via Sajira or one of their group moderators. just don't bug the living hell out of people, they probably won't appreciate it.

the Steam FOTN group, from what i understand, is working as both a new platform for the forum and also as a liason for getting games together. your best bets are there. i will probably inquire more details about version numbers to get back to you guys (when shade hops on again), but otherwise, just go with the group. This is like a massive plug for the group, but hey, why the hell not haha.

EDIT: about protection of the map, i think it's self explanatory after looking at epic wars. once things get derailed its very hard to locate and play an official version, when expected content might be missing, or an editor added some godly BS. i personally think it's just not the right way to go about it.

EDIT 2: Scouring the Group page, i found Sajira mentioning the following:

"Sajira (Sajira) Officer 5 Apr @ 7:40am
Hey CRO, with the 5 people i know who actually have the new map, we are asked not to host it, and even if we did, as you can see on the FOTN facebook page, it will only stay open for alittle over a minute. all we can do is grow the community and encourage Shade for the update. But he is busy like the rest of us and it will take alittle time for it to go public."


hope that clears things up.

Oh, thanks for the comment! So it isn't dead at all...
And yeah, if the map was unprotected there would be FOTN v10.0 or so.
By the way, you can unpretect the map but not edit it. It's sort of some strange thing in it. But well, thanks god authors haven't abandoned this game, which I personally like, aswell as many others do.

like we have said before, the current version is not Publically available. i cannot stress that enough. the map may seem dead, and for the most part it is true (because, as said previously, it is not publically available).

IF IT IS LABELLED 1.25 AND IS NOT HOSTED BY SOMEONE FROM SHADEGABRIEL'S GROUP OF FRIENDS, AND BY EXTENSION, THE STEAM GROUP FOTN, CHANCES ARE, IT IS FAKE.

someone from the group such as myself will most likely post here (if shade does not straight up update the Hive page) when it (and if it) actually does become available. for now, if you are really craving for something newer than 1.24 or just want someone to play with, go to the steam group for FOTN.

if you don't have a steam client, here's a browser link.

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/FoundersoftheNorth

i simply cannot stress the above enough.

Aw bad, I wish I could try it online and it's not dead (still hope not).. It was a good game, I even just sleep my laptop and turn it on later and play it again like I never want to save and quit the game, tho cheated a little bit to not lose, especially the calamity, still aiming on conquering it alone and co-op tho sometimes


5/5

My regards, any single of you good day.

@Edit

What happen? was it like no news or does he planning on delaying it longer or something? Any significant news about it, did it really went silent? i think there will be some news so it is probably just something I guess or not, I'm not used to warcraft map update wait so i don't wait it, I'll put my hope into it.

Too much potentional could goes, I should get useful too ._. With something.

Hey :)

what are the differences between this 1.24 version and the versions you can find on at epicwar.com :
https://www.epicwar.com/maps/search/?go=1&n=Founders+of+the+North&a=&c=0&pf=1&p=1&roc=1&tft=1

There are at least two v 1.25 avaible... but I also don't know the differences between the two v.1.25 :D
Are these original upploads or just fake or copis ? (if it is original, why is it not uploaded here, too?)

ah and a quick questions, I just started playing, maybe it will be explained later... but it's faster to ask here:
- How to gather lumber? I gathered lumber via the interface, but there is no building to store the lumber.
- and how to interact with the quest chest near starting position?

i want tell you just one thing... In china have it v1.40, v.Prison, v.Desire and v.S&W(from me)....

My Review:

[+] - Great Terrain the Doodads are placed great
[+] - The Mechanics are pretty unique from what I've been played
[+] - Bandit AI was Did great
[=] - You could lower the terrain heights
[=] - Make more space for making towns.. the allowed space was too small
[=] - Some people won't like the "Anime" kinda icons, You could change that to a more realistic one
[-] - I didn't find a single bug, great map

Overall, 8/10 Great map keep up the good job.

i think it is a Fiction, i have read it. The Author say it named from "Spice and Gold"

^It is clearly taken from "Spice and Wolf". Try look at the loading screen and in-game Quests (on top of the screen) and you'll see them :)

[=] - Make more space for making towns.. the allowed space was too small

There is a large space for towns in the middle of the map, you'll surely like them

the website is frozen because no one is supporting the website anymore; in addition, admins stopped posting (only visiting to check on things like myself) so it wasn't gonna get much better if you went.

you're not missing out on much though; majority of the website just held gameplay ideas, changelogs, and bugs reports.

the map maker is getting on with life; he still plays every now and then but my understanding is he is much busier than usual.

the map maker DID in continue it, but the map is not available for public. my understanding was he continued developing the map, and plays the new version with his friends. occasionally for a period he did host the new version but asked it to be kept under tight lock.

my further understanding after playing with him recently (but not wc3), was that he is now avoiding things like steam due to being messaged constantly by various individuals (no names were given). he understands the demand but is unable to meet it.

Overall great map I always enjoy playing it.

However, the transition speed throughout the game is lacking excitement; which could be improved with a little more fighting to survive rather than, getting as much loot and income as possible.

Hello Sifonseal, I am not sure if you've been around for the past few years. I've recently gotten back into map making, and I was wondering if I have your permission to produce a remake of this map. I've already started on it, and it may turn out to be a knock-off with my own twists, but I figured I should ask before I release it. I will be using a lot of the concepts present in your map. I just want to see a finished product.

Hello guys, so how can I access the membership only content. The site is down so I can't make an account to follow the instructions or such.
I don't even know if the members only content is implemented....
I found this map after playing medieval villagers and I want to have the full experience, so if anyone knows how to access members only content please tell me.
That's all folks! Thank you!

Unfortunately, it has not been updated for 6 years and I have not seen any sign of continuation from the original author on the steam or facebook group.
The facebook group is not run by the original authors.
I can say, though, that there are 3 separate teams working on separate remakes.

Thank you for the replay. I was just wondering if the membership only content was implemented. In the map itself, it said that you have to make an account and follow the instructions to access that content. But since the site is not working anymore, I wanted to know if someone knew those instructions.

Website is down for at least 2 years. You need to go here Forums

This is an archive, you can see the posts if you want. But it's hard to understand and see, so be prepared.

ah ok so they arent working on this map anymore.And can you tell me how is this type of map called?And if you could pls tell me names of couple of them?

This map is was last updated in 2011..so it's old. The genre is called city building, sometimes LOAP (life of a peasent). You can find more maps here: Maps | HIVE

Here are 3 recomandations:

1)Medieval Villagers 1.08d
2)[Strategy / Risk] - Northrend Bound: Beta v0.6
3)Lords of The North 1.2

All of these are still being developed on. So you can expect more and more things. All are also pretty complicated. Best enjoyed with friends but you can also play alone. Still Founders of the north is one of the best, but these will give you dozens of hours of gameplay!

Have fun!
