Gods Against the Darkness v6.0.8

Gods Against the Darkness



Intro



On the dawn of the universe, a destructive force dwelled free, long before any shine of life. Although considered a primordial force,
it has grown corrupted, envious, of what gods and man have built. Rebellions, separations, wars with so much destruction such
as the Titanomachy and the Aesir-Vanir War almost delivered Chaos emergence. It was able to manifest itself in weaker forms
throughout history, but went unnoticed. But as the howling wind whispers, something awkward lies before it... The air itself got heavy,
becoming hard to breath even. Chaos has awoken, and promised to end life itself. The Evil will not act by itself, and neither should you.
Gather up your light and strength, unite, for the continuance of existence lies within your hands.




Plot



In the Gods Against the Darkness universe, Greek, Egyptian and Norse pantheons exists in concomitance, but in different parts of the same existential plane.
However, none of them are aware of each other existence and the events occurring in one pantheon don't intervene with the other, until now.

Chaos is a manifestation that seems to exist in all mythologies, in some of them there are characters that exists solely to fight it everyday.
Ragnarök is the norse term for the prophesized deaths of most divine beings and the beginning of a new era in the universe. Chaos being the
primordial and omnipresent entity in all mythologies, promised to unleash destruction upon all pantheons and be the main harbinger of Ragnarök.
The game starts with a brief interaction between
Chaos and the three first Olympians, Zeus, Hades and Poseidon, as the entity declares his intentions.




Gameplay



Your mission is to defend the allied bases against the march of Darkness up the mountain where a sacred structure lies, using only but a God with its unique set of abilities. Gold is earned by killing enemies and will be essential to arm your character as powerful as possible, because each wave of monsters increases difficulty and complexity. There are more than 95 custom items and each one can help you or your team scale against the evil. All resistance bases have shops and regeneration fountains to aid the gods. Although being a vast map, moving across it is made easier with instant teleport locations and Scroll of Teleport for sale. Although is possible alone, the map offers an experience that is better playing with at least 3 players, at the maximum of 5 players. If confident enough, the players are invited to try a Hard mode on mode selection. There are currently 28 gods available to play with.
This map requires the latest version of Warcraft III: Reforged and play exclusively on SD graphics.

Seems like a nice scripted Defense map. A bit chaotic in terms of terrain design but keeps some realism in that regard. On a side note, seeing Norse and Egyptian gods too, I had a similar idea but in RPG fashion, where the "good" gods fought the bad...

Please remove the assets as they will be downloaded along with the map.
Use this to add missing credited authors: Resources in use by Gods Against the Darkness 6.0.7
And this to generate a list: Asset scanner

Why is the author different from the username? Can you prove you made the map or have permission to edit/upload it?

Awaiting Update.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

I thought assets were part of the credits. I removed them and did the proper edit to the description adding all the content that I could find.

Why is the author different from the username?
The author name was a pseudonym I used a few years back, I don't know how I can prove it though. Inside the map info there are contact info, which includes my Discord and email, the same that are linked to this account.

A bit chaotic in terms of terrain design but keeps some realism in that regard.

On a side note, seeing Norse and Egyptian gods too, I had a similar idea but in RPG fashion, where the "good" gods fought the bad ones from each mythology including Satan/Devil/Lucifer/whatever.

Approved.
