The Darkness is rising...
| 2000 years ago: A proud king named Leorin built a kingdom with a majestic castle in a blooming land, they lived all in peace for some time, but the king got more and more greedy and attacked nearby lands to rob them. He heard, like many other kings, from the necronomicon, a book which would make the bearer the master over the world, Leorin slaughtered all those who could have the necronomicon. His eyes got a dark and empty tinting after so many painful deaths caused by him... However, leorin could never find the legendary necronomicon, he got old and died, but he got a son, his son, Leorin the Second got the same attitudes as his father he searched even in the Dead Hills, a forbidden and forgotten country, covered with everlasting frost, there he found 1 of the sites of the necronomicon, the site emitted a weird power.... Leorin fell in a trance like state of dreaming... he saw black shadows which tried to seduce him, with success... those shadows guided him to the old "Arcanum", a hall of dark magic and mystery... there found Leorin the necronomicon... he was at the state of becoming insane... but as he read the ancient book of the dead he understood everything.... he took the necronomicon to his kingdom... slayed his mother and cut her head off.... slayed all the wardens to make them his slaves... a dark energy empowered him... in his insanity he used the necronomicon to become immortal in the world of the undead…… he gave himself the name: Demonias..... His hate, and the dark magic drowned his lands and his castle in frost and darkness.. he destroyed his old castle, and built on the mass grave of his old castle a castle of frost, the ICE FORGE! Now he sits in his castle and controls the dead bodies of his old comrades....to drown the whole world in darkness and decay... And YOU take the role of the heroes which want to cleanse the world from this plague! |
| Features: -4 Players can enjoy this dungeon at the same time. -90% triggered spells. -great terrain, with a really dungeon feeling in it. -bosses with increasing difficult, for a challenging game. -a cool camera system, giving a feeling of an old school RPG dungeon. -a new selection system, using ESC (hero selection is not meant...) -30~ new models are used in this map, new sfx, creep and boss models. |
NOTE: This Map may only be played with a above-average pc for optimized game experience, either is this map thought for 4 players (impossible to beat alone or with 2).
HAVE FUN AND GL! And tell me balance issues and such!
0.01 FIXINGS: Knock back bug, skirmisher tooltip fixed, improved typos and mind control bug fixed , changed the room-to-room cam change.
0.02 FIXINGS: Reduced the difficult by weakening boss attacks and mobs. And tried to fix the stuff with the knocked bosses. Additionally I prevented the desync's by changing to a new part of the Ice Forge through not using loops.
0.03 ADDITIONS: DPS system, Damage Show System (player-coloured damage), all shown on the multiboard.
FIX FOR 0.03: Improved the damage show system (now shows damage done at the enemy).
FIX FOR 0.04: Try to remove the critical errors (I hope it works).
FIX FOR 0.05: Fixed Corus of War (you can't pump up your life anymore).

Recieved a fatal error when going to the maze of mirrors. You can knock corpsespitter behind some of the terrain and he will get stuck and you can just range him.

I will check that error with the mirror maze.
And I will make it impossible to knock bosses back.
Released a new version, which may fix the bugs.

Why not adding auto balance so you can beat it aswell with 4 as you can alone.

Because: No?
This is not a map for single players.
It does not make sense to make a dungeon/RPG map, which is thought for strategical gameplay (very weird with 1 person...), with a possibility to beat it alone.
The Point of this Game is to find strategies with friends to beat the bosses, not to lonely walk through the bosses.
Beside that most bosses would be simply too hard alone, or you could abuse things, or you could do big mistakes for example:
The third boss detects one player(doesn't work against clerics) and gets angry on him (runs to him and starts to attack him uber fast) when he casts a spell, if I would make it single player, you wont beat that boss.
And it would be HORRIBLE, figure if you just select a cleric... it would be quite shitty if i would need to make the game possible to be beaten by a healer class... that would mean that every other class with more power and possible self-heals would beat the game with ease.
It is not possible to balance, and for sure I wont do it.

It absolutely needs arrow key movement. You can find some at the spells section.

Hmm... why does this map heavily remind me of WoW raid? Actually, great map.
