GOLDEN LANDS
Golden Lands is a fast-paced MOBA that requires teamplaying. Both teams with 5 players each, they command a powerful “Boss” and can capture important points called “Bases” to get a good positioning and tools to defend his territory and “Gold Mines” that generates the “Resources” used to win the game.
Destroy your enemies and the enemy Boss and get a lot of “Resources” to win the game.
Can be played 5vs5 and slots can be filled with Computers.
The game has 2 win conditions.
A) Gather 3000 Resources.
B) Destroys the 2 Gate Towers located at entrance of each base.
There are various factors to fulfill the objective, that will be explained below.
GAMEPLAY

TEAM BOSSES
The Bases are important placements, there are 4 of them distributed in the map and they are composed by a resistant tower that gives vision and true sight and a Banner that offers options to attack and defend with the Boss.
- Can be captured by standing in the capturing zone for 10 seconds. Less if there are more heroes capturing the base.
- If the hero leaves the capturing zone (that is a fixed distance) is stunned and cancels his capturing.
- Every owned base spawn troops that attacks the next enemy base.
- They are spawned with variant time depends in the number of bases controlled, more bases controlled more time take to spawn units and viceversa.
- When the respective Gold Mine is enemy, the spawned units automatically attack the Gold Mine until it is controlled.
The Banner options can be activated by any player, select the Banner changes the ownership.
- Can "Teleport" the boss to the tower, if is succesful make the tower "Guarded" by the Boss.
- Can make an "Attack" with the Boss, will attack together with the next wave, the Base need to be "Guarded" by the Boss.
The Gold Mines are the main and most importantly structure in this game, there are 4 distributed in the map, they provide the "Resources" to win the game, with more Mines controlled more Resources generated and faster.
- Can be captured be attacking it, the last hit determines the owner.
- Capturing a Gold Mine gives Resources to team as well gold, honor and percent exp to each team member.
- Lossing a Gold Mine by an enemy, reduces the team Resources.
- The Gold Mine is damaged periodically, if the Gold Mine is lost with this damage, become a neutral Gold Mine and the owner don't loss Resources.
- Each owned Gold Mine increase the Boss income.

SCREENSHOTS
CHANGELOG
AUTOR NOTES
Oks it's been a while since i update the post, i worked on the map occasionally, but everthing is coming out as I had thought.
I changed a lot of things, and gameplay is too different from the old map posted.
I never seen before any map like this, because it's a kind of experimental game maybe need a lot of balance and maybe a total change of some features that I will change with pleasure to make this game stable and enjoyable.
Any criticism, suggestion are welcome.
If you want to know the game in depth you can read this
Golden Lands
it contains mechanics, formulas and a bunch of numbers that are heavy to read on a post.
(It is not finished yet)
