Orc Gladiators: Revenge 1.69f

Orc Gladiators: Revenge (Discord)

A modern remake and take on the old Orc Gladiators map. The game is very recognisable, but brings in new weapons, skills, monsters, items and a talent-point system to make the game more interesting.

Wait, what? Skills scale off of attributes?

Yep. Tired in old OG versions where your Druid ends up being pretty useless at the last half of the game? In this version, all of your spells, including summons, scale directly off of your primary stat.

That's cool. But like, spamming the same spell all game is boring.

That's why in this version you can modify your spells with Talents. The effects of talents vary. Some are quite simple, such as reducing the cooldown, whereas some may transform it completely, such as make it passive or change what it does.

Ohh.. and i heard rumors EXP gains are less retarded?

Yep. Don't fret about being in range of EXP, EXP range is global, and the best part, you still get EXP if you're dead, meaning you wont fall behind in power and become useless (ahem, original orc gladiators).

And gold? Will i be starved of gold all game because i'm not a DPSer?

Your main income is from completing waves. Most of it is from beating the wave itself, and you get extra gold depending on how fast you cleared the wave (faster = more gold).

Great. But what about camping the same spot all game long?

Holding the same spot will eventually cause the audience to become bored, which will prevent your team from receiving weapon upgrades (which grant a generous power spike for your team). It is a part of the game to rotate around the map. Keeping the audience entertained rewards you Enchants and accelerates your acquisition towards future upgrades.

OK. Anything else i need to know?

The game starts off easy but gets progressively harder. Teamwork is essential.

By the way, is there any way to meet other people interested in this map?

Models with Unknown authorship yield no valid search results when using Hive's search function. This is likely because the model's file name is vastly different from its bundle name. If any of these belong to you, get in touch, and I will update the credits.

Latest discussion and development can be found on the discord server.


The map is routinely optimized to reduce its size and loading time. Much of OG:R's development has been possible due to learning off of unoptimized and unprotected maps. To continue this spirit, I am willing to provide unoptimized versions. Please PM me for one. Note I will only provide an older version as I am still developing Orc Gladiators: Revenge, thus it is important for me to retain developmental integrity.

1. Avoid playing music through the sound channel; use the other Play Music trigger. 2. Should rename the Idle Workers ("~" for talents) to something fitting. 3. Did you credit the original creator ingame/in the quest log as in the map thread...

Then how about older versions ? Only unprotected version working.
Unfortunately, the download links for the older versions aren't available anymore, so the only way to play this map is by updating your game to 1.32.10 and using the Classic graphics.
You can join the Discord if you talk about things related to this map. It's already included in the map description.
