[b][color=red]Mansion Murderer[/color][/b] is not your average murderer map. This game is far more fast paced than other murderer maps and instead of only having the goal of "run away & hide", the players can also gather various items, attempt to kill the murderer and try to find the mansion key and then escape the mansion.
SINGLE PLAYER VERSION: Computer does the murdering, your part is to try to do the surviving, key-fetching and escaping if you can.
[b]Gameplay[/b]
One of the players (chosen randomly) is the murderer and his goal is to kill everyone else.
The other players must survive, find the mansion key and then escape through the front door (at the start).
There is a timer displaying the killers life at the upper right corner of the screen. Once this timer reaches zero, the killer dies and the game ends. When the killer kills somebody the timer resets to 3min (unless he has more time remaining).
The game ends when all victims are either dead or have escaped the mansion or when the killer dies.
NOTE: In single player mode murderer is AI controlled and has no death timer.

[hidden=FAQ]
Q: What kind of game is this?
A: A murderer game. One player is the killer and must kill others. The others must find the key and escape the mansion or kill the killer or wait until the killers time runs out.
Single player version: Computer is killer, you gotta fetch the key. If you think you can do it.
Q: How many keys are there? Where are the keys?
A: There is only one key and it is always at a random location. However there can be fake keys that look like the real one but they do not open the gate.
Q: I can't see anything!!
A: Switch off the lights from your room and you should be able to see just fine. Also make sure your brightness settings are reasonable.
Q: How to change camera?
A: The camera is locked to your unit and you cannot change that (at least not in the current version).
Besides, if the camera would be like the default wc3 camera there wouldn't be any challenge or feeling to the game.
Q: How do I know if I'm the killer?
A: You're told in the beginning of the game. Also, if you find your character having the skill "Killer Form" and "Shadow Run" then you most definately are the killer.
Q: How to shout?
A: Just type "-s <your message>"
Q: What if the killer finds the key?
A: Doesn't matter. The killer cannot pick up the key and it is indestructible.
Q: Where can I get a weapon?
A: They can be found on the floor scattered around the mansion
Q: Is this map protected?
A: No, from version 0.49 onwards this map is open source for anyone to edit![/hidden]
[hidden=Hints & Tips]
1) Like said before, switch off the lights in your room to be able to see properly
2) Keep an eye out for various items scattered around the floor. They can save your life!
3) If you're the killer, use human form to travel faster and collect items
4) If you die, don't leave the game. You can stay and spectate the other players and learn from them. Also, after the game you can see the game and player statistics
