Hook Extreme
Created by FreeWayLemon/DWGPenj5

Map Info:

In this map you have to fight in a small arena as a mage against other mages with powerful spells. For example the 'Fire Hook' which literally grabs your enemies and draw them to you while dealing a nice amount of damage.
The main objective is to kill 50 enemy mages.

Features:

A working AI which casts 'Chain Lightning' at you(Has to be a slot occupied by a computer)
Meteors are falling from the skies, which deal damage.
The mysterious mage will cause a huge explosion each 2 minutes at the middle of the map which deals a lot of damage.
Some Items which might be useful.
4 different spells(Fire Hook, Ice Hook, Teleport, Life Drain).
3 Modes:
-np to remove peasents/zombies
-ni to remove all shops and disable money gain
-eg to remove 'Kill Gain' Endless Game
6 different items which spawn somewhere in the arena every minute!

-Kobas- for his awesome description Template

DWGPlasmos for Life Drain and Fire Hook spell!

RaijinSpark for the 'Upgrade Skills' idea

Mumbis for fixing the leaks!

Special notes:

This is the 'Extreme' version of the original game (Hook Arena) which was created by DWGPlasmos who dropped his map due to several bugs which he couldnt fix. He asked me to fix the bugs and allowed me to finish his map. Also all of the spells except Teleport and Ice Hook are made by him.


Changes from Hook Arena to Extreme
There were Falling Stars instead of Meteors
There was no mage which caused a huge explosion every 2 minutes
There werent ANY items
lvling was quite difficult
No AI
No screen effects/shaking camera
No tile changing during the game
No Ice Hook
No Upgrade Items


The AI only uses Chain Lightning as it seemed like impossible for me to make it cast anything else with my triggering skills.

Changelog and Credit list of the first version of Hook Arena till this version is also in the Quest(F9) menu of the map.


Note:The screenshots of lvl 1 and 2 hook are both OUTDATED!!

Too much lag, remove way too many effects, atleast add a mode that disables that many stupid useless effects. + not much time to enter the modes. False rating by 1 voter. Hope you make it better next time.
