Santa Snowball Fight
Santa Claus is giving out free presents! You must return
them to your team's igloo to score.
The
Human Kids of course immediately gathered up, but unfortunately the
Orc Kids don't wanna be left out either, and so a hot-cold war of snowballs has broke out!
Game Principle:
Like Capture the Flag, both teams must try to get a present, which spawns in the center of the map, to their team's igloos, but this isn't easy at all, because the carrier is heavily slowed and vulnerable to snowballs. Use teamwork and support your carrier
to win the game!
Defeating an opposing kid gives 1 Point and 1 Gold, returning a present gives 10 Points and 5 Gold.
The first team to score 100 points wins the game.

Basic skills:
Snowball - 5 Snow
Throws an ordinary Snowball in the clicked direction, which causes 25 damage upon impact.
Homing Snowball - 15 Snow
Throws a snowball that ignores obstacles and hits for sure, but deals only 10 damage.
Yellow Snowball - 10 Snow
Throws a *yuck* yellow snowball in the clicked direction, which causes 20 damage upon impact and poisons the target for further 15 damage in 15 seconds.
Hero-Skills, which can be taken after reaching a higher level (maximum level: 12):
Snow Fort - 35 Snow
You become temporarily invincible by surrounding yourself with walls of ice, which block off all snowballs. Moving or attacking ends the effect. Good for teamwork (blocking off enemies).
Barrage - 40 Snow
A true volley of Snowballs consisting of 4 snowballs fly in the clicked direction after 0.5 sec, every snowball dealing a potential 25 damage.
Hidden Rock - 30 Snow
Throws a slower snowball in the clicked direction, which causes 30 damage on impact and stuns for 1.5/2.5 seconds. Also causes carriers to drop their present.
Experienced Thrower - 3 Levels
Increases the rate at which you collect snow and allows for more skill usage.
Avoidance - Gives you a
chance to dodge snowballs and stay unharmed. Yellow Snowballs and Hidden Rocks are more likely to be dodged than normal snowballs. Learnable at levels 4/8/12.
Using the gold you acquire while fighting, you can buy useful equipment at Santa's shop.
This is a little assortment of what you can buy (not everything is listed):
Friendly Snowman - 5 Gold
Creates a friendly snowman that boosts team morale and enables health regeneration in a big area.
Mulled Wine - 1 Gold
Heals 35 HP instantly.
Everlasting Candycane - 14 Gold
As long as you posess this sweet candy, you will be able to constantly regenerate health.
Frosty Mc Frost - 6 Gold
For 10 snow, the Frosty McFrost freezes a player on the ground for 5 seconds, unable to use any skills or move - ideally used against a present carrier.
Heater - 3 Gold
Creates a heater, which melts the area around it, forbidding any player in its radius to acquire snow and melts away all existing snow reserves.
Winter Gloves - 5 Gold
These warm gloves prevent your hands from freezing. They give all thrown snowballs a 30% speed bonus which also makes them fly farther.
There are many more items which can be seen ingame.
