- - - Information Steam Racing 1.5.2 - - -
Sorry for the long description =p

This map is made for Reign of Chaos, but works on The Frozen Throne as well without changing anything critically.

- - Starting & Main Rule - -
Players start with 15 points.
You choose your racer from the tower. You have only 37 seconds to do so!
Try to be 1st on the finish line and gain most of the points in the game.
By doing so you will surely be the WINNER!!!

- - Computer Racers - -
Computers choose their car automatically.
Computer's level (Easy/Normal/Insane) doesn't change much of their driving skills.
Their movement speed are either just a bit increased or decreased. It is possible to win them even they have increased default speed.

- - Specials - -
>Skeleton head<
This special gives you invulnrability to your car, making you immune against mines. This also means there is a lot of mines nearby.

>Strange Fire<
This one gives some boost to your car, increasing your movement speed for a while.

- - Mines & Skeletons - -
Some mines are located at curves on the inner side. Try to drive longer routes to avoid them.
Most of the mines are randomly added. There's no telling where they could be.
Skeletons are spawned enemy units which are trying to block your way. You can kill them with the Immolation skill.

- - Dying - -
When you die you lose 2 points and your death will create skeletons.
A message will popup if someone dies.
It will take 4,5 seconds till you can continue your race.
When coming back to life, it automatically activates your Immolation skill.



All cars have different movement speed, health, armor and special aura.
All Cars have now new skill: War Stomp - The Car will stop for a while, but will kill all nearby skeletons.

- Heavysmasher -
Slow, but lots of hit points and well good armor. Equipped with Endurance Aura (Movement Speed increased by 10%).

- Steamroadster -
A bit slow, well hit points and great armor. Equipped with Devotion Aura (Increases armor by 3).

- Death Rider -
Pretty fast, kinda low hit points and average armor. Equipped with Unholy Aura (Increases health regeneration rate by 50% and movement speed by 10%).

- Thunderbird -
Really fast, low health and armor. Equipped with Thorns Aura (Reflects 10% of the skeleton's damage back to skeleton).


Your car's aura will also be applied to nearby enemy cars as well!



- - - - 1st Track: The Finish - - - -
Rule: 1st one on the finish line at the end of the road wins the most points.
The game will last until everyone have reached the finish line.

Points:
1st place - 12 points
2nd place - 8 points
3rd place - 6 points
4th place - 4 points

- Trap Informations: Track 1 -
Frost trap deals 500 damage and slows you only a bit for 1 second.
1st Fire Trap deals 1000 damage if hit.
2nd Fire Trap deals 750 damage if hit.
There is 2 hidden invulnrable points which help you a lot.
Just beaware of everything, like fire and so.



- - - - 2nd Track: The Meteor Time Attack - - - -
Rule: You have 3 minutes time to go to the other side of this straight track and in the end you must turn around and go back.
If you won't make it to the finish line within the time limit, you won't earn any points.
The game will last until everyone have reached the finish line or time is up.

Points:
The points will be earned by an amount of time left when you reach the finish line and that divided by 3.

- Trap Informations: Track 2 -
There will be randomly falling meteors on the track every 7,5 seconds, dealing 666 damage.
Randomly spawning more mines on the track when you reach the half of this track.



- - - - 3rd Track: The Racing - - - -
At start of this one, the player with most points will choose the type of last track.
The available options:
Time Limit - 3 minutes/5 minutes/6 minutes/10 minutes
Racing - 1 lap/2 laps/3 laps/ 4 laps

There is a pit next to the straight to finish line. There you can replenish your hit points and mana.
There's no need to stop there, just drive through.



The 1st one on the finish line will win the most points like on 1st Track (The Finish).
The game will last until everyone have reached the finish line.

Points: These points are counted with a different method than all others.
There is a Racing Flag with 100 hit points. Everytime someone crosses the finish line and their laps decrease by 1
the hit points of this Racing Flag will decrease by 2 points. So when 3 players are going for the last lap it's HP
will decrease by 3 times 2 (3*2) which makes 6 hit points less. The flag's maximum hit points are set by how
many laps did the player choose for this type of racing. The 1st one who crosses the finish line earns the amount of HP
the Racing Flag has left and the amount of remaining laps on other players. 2nd one will earn the remaining HP of racing
flag and the amount of remaining laps on other players. 3rd one will earn the remaning HP of racing flag and the amount
of remaining laps on other players. 4th on will only earn the remaining HP of racing flag.



You will need to drive as much as you can around this track.

Points: The time limit will count the points how far you can get on this track. There are
checkpoints added on the track and going over a checkpoint will increase your points by 2.
When the time limit is over, so is racing on this type.
