Gameplay

Gameplay:
There are two teams: 10 builders vs 2 vampires. The builders try to survive for 120 minutes(or 90, depending on game mode) to win by building a base and/or running.
The vampires work together to destroy the bases and kill the builders.
killed builders can become minions to help the vampires

Overview

General Features

Humans

3 possible slayer heroes, each with unique abilities
5 different walls (Mega, Spike, Mana, Scout and Divinity)
walls are good against different kind of vamps, e.g. spike is good against dd's, mana good against tanks or single vamps
7 different towers (Arrow, Speed, Range, Splash, Feedback, Slow, Magic)
choose your towers based on how the vamps play e.g. splash against cooperating vamps/minions,
speed against solo, slow and feedback to disturb them
many different researches to upgrade buildings or units
you can build 5 regular walls OR 1 magic tower OR 1 scout wall (runner wall) OR 1 divinity wall (runner wall) and 2 regular walls

***

Vampires

crafting items instead of only buy and sell
three item types leading to 3 different last items: DD, Tank, Mage item
Mages are good catchers, DD's and Tanks are good base-killers
buy potions to boost yourself
may choose to sarifice minions that are spawned after killing a builder to gain strength
save and load of some game statistics (items used, builders killed, etc.) - used for professional mode

***

Generic

ONLY ONE LUMBERBASE
slayers gain experience every second, not levels on leveling spot
Gold supply system: you get 100/(number of slayers in GS-area) for each kill,
IF your slayer is in there. So not number of humans indicates how much gold you get but how good they are.
there are only 2 bases for 4 people (corners) so they are easy to find BUT
added a new base type: fusion bases, fusion bases for x people are harder to
defend then regular bases for x people but they are all around the map and grant room for up to
4 people, you need good teamwork for those bases
the humans win after 2 hours of game BUT
vamps are able to kill nearly every base after some time so you better build a real strong base or
run the remaining time
get items for your slayer at Black Market near the GS-area, a research is needed
to use them

***

Commands

new useful commads (some examples are listed here)

autocamera for those who touch their mousewheel too often (1500 distance, bird's eye view)
votekick (see full decription at quests: commands)
rangecheck to display certain ranges around your builder

***

Game Modes

speed mode: huge bonus for both sides, shortening game by 30 minutes
bank mode: enables to deposit wood/gold to earn interest
professional mode: enables bonus of save codes (vamps) and adds a small lumber bonus to humans

Units

Humans	Units
	Eta-Builder	Main unit: if it dies the controlling player becomes a minion or is defeated. Has Blink, Flashstep, and Destroy Buildings. Can build bases and can get several different upgrades. Ultimate form (Master Runner )is the most expensive research. Remember the builder's small MP-reg!
	Assassin	Slayer: used to get gold, has the best melee damage abilities. Easy to play.
	Knight	Slayer: used to get gold and defend the base, has the best defense abilities, but low damage against supplier. Difficult to use correctly!
	Wizard	Slayer: used to get gold and damage the vampires. has very good different abilities and is a ranged unit. Does extreme burst damage and can also interrupt vampires. Can be used for several purposes but reducing effectiveness for other things. Mana reliable and low health, thats why minions are extra dangerous!

	Buildings
	Lumber Mine	Basic building. Used to get lumber.
	Tech Center	Basic building. Is needed to build other structures, has most important reseraches, e.g. walls
	Upgrade Center	Contains most researches that include builders, slayers, towers and walls. 4 researches per level plus master runner (only obtainable if one research is maxed out)
	Altar of Light	Calls and revives Slayers.
	Eta-Eye	Has truesight ability and huge sight radius. Similar to scout wall.
	Wall	Basic defense building. Consumes 1 defense rating (of 5). Goes from wall 1 to wall 5 enabling wall researches on tech 2.
	Mega Wall	Advanced defense building. Has the most life, and armor. Most used Wall, good against everything but nothing special. Susceptible to Hybrids. Ability: armor increase and spell immunity (short duration)
	Mana Wall	Advanced defense building. Has the highest regeneraion. Unaffected by Vampires item abilities (such as spell resistance, armor break) but lowest life (in this case mana) pool. Used to have a higher regeneration than incoming damage. Susceptible to multiple vamps and very fast and high damage (potions). Ability: huge regeneration bonus (very long duration)
	Spike Wall	Advanced defense building. Has a percentual damage reflection but the worse regeneration - very unstable because of weaknesses against armor reduce, spell resistance - susceptible to multiple vamps and tanks - weak in early game. However, later perhabs even the best wall. Ability: life drain (very short duration)
	Scout Wall	Runner wall similar to Eta-Eye and less expensive, however consumes all defense rating.
	Divinity Wall	Runner wall. Destroys itself after a 10 second duration of invulnerability. This means no feeding if played correctly but running is more difficult. Consumes 3 defense rating.
	Shortcut Building/Best Shortcut Building	Shortcut. Evolves into any advanced wall (runner/lvl 1/lvl7). Research is still needed to upgrade. You still need to pay the costs for the lvl1/lvl7 wall
	Arrow Tower	Basic tower. No special abilities, moderate damage and speed, but some good upgrades available (upgrade center)
	Range Tower	Advanced tower. Long range but lower speed and damage than arrow towers.
	Speed Tower	Advanced tower. Best singletarget tower of the advanced towers. Best attackspeed of all towers but shortest range with no upgrades for range.
	Splash Tower	Advanced tower. Great AoE attack with 100% damage. moderate damage and fast attackspeed. Basicly an anti-minion tower.
	Caster Tower	Has no attack. Needs tech 2 research to be upgraded.
	Feedback Tower	Caster tower. Slow attackspeed. Burns mana on hit and deals 3x damage.
	Frost Tower	Caster tower. Extreme slow attackspeed. Reduces move and attackspeed. No AoE.
	Magic Tower	Caster tower. Slow attackspeed. Consumes all defense rating. Best Tower in game, despite its low damage on early levels. Chance on hit to evoke devastating effects: extreme singletarget damage, AoE damage, and distracting. This one is a must in every base!

Vampires	Units
	Vampire Lord	Main unit. If a Vampire Lord is killed, gold is transfered and the player is defeated. Can reveal the map, heal up to 5 allies, use wind walk like ability and stun a builder for some time.
	Minion	Minion's abilities are similar to the vampire lord's but weaker. They are also not able to stun builders or slayers. instead they got the power to damage builders slightly, heal vampire lords for a moderate amount, and reduce life and destroy mana of slayers. With enough minions, vampire lords can kill every base or respectively the builder in it. Therefore they should be wiped out very fast.

	Buildings
	Storage	Item Storage for vampire lords. They grant 3 different specializations which offer researches and sell tomes. In addition vampire lords can teleport to their storages by using Going Home.

Hints

Humans

General:

don't build a whole base in the beginning, wait for ressources
your strength in the beginning is to hide, vamps need time to uncover you so take places that aren't discovered very often
soloing a base is quite hard, team up with people
ideal bases consists of 3 or more people going on three different "branches":
1. Tower
2. Wall
3. Slayer
Towers need much wood but less gold, in addition you need to have some kinds of researches e.g. black gunpowder
use towers that disturb your enemies: slowing against tanks, feedback against healing vamps, splash against teaming vamps, etc.
be shure to have a magic tower instead of a wall, it does huge amounts of damage once it is on highest level
Walls need less wood but much gold for researches on later levels, however you need to research those things that fits best for your wall
chose your advanced wall depending on the type of vamps: mega wall has no big special, its advanced ability is just an temporarily increase of armor and HP; mana walls are excellent choices against tanks because of their high regeneration and absorbed amounts, ultimate ability is a huge restoration buff for some seconds, however, has no armor; spike walls reflect damage back to the attacker, ideal against dd's, however always is one grade lower than a regular mega wall, but can drain life from the vampire with his ultimate ability
Slayers need some wood and gold in the beginnig, but as soon as you get gold fast enough you can send some of your ressources to the other players
you should always have a small reservoir of ressources and be the one who builds up lumbermines first
you are not as important as the other two jobs but you greatly decrease development time of your base (your job is optional, the other two are required)
you have to spent gold and lumber in one magic tower to improve defense of your base, in addition you can use your slayer to interrupt vampires attacking

Counter strategies:

1 or more Reapers: increase builders health, don't stand near wall or try to attack vamp with your builder
base killer items like blood claws in the beginning : running instead of building, look for places where you have many possibilities to escape
catcher items in combination with base killers: be shure to leave base immediatly when discovered
use your slayers to help out if it gets dangerous for both sides (wall and vamp at low helath, no mana)

Defense Options:
Rcommended defense builds based on walls:

1. Mana wall

Burst damage or high damage over time, high damage close and far combat
absolutely not: feedback towers
perhabs: splash towers, range towers
important: slow tower, magic tower, speed tower, arrow towers

2. Mega wall

moderate up to high damage over time, weakening, high damage close combat
absolutely not: -
perhabs: splash towers, range towers, arrow towers (any of them will do)
important: feedback towers, slow tower(s), magic tower, speed towers

3. Spike wall

extreme burst damage, very high damage close and high damage far combat
absolutely not: slow towers
perhabs: splash towers, range towers
important: magic tower, speed tower, arrow towers

Additional Information

This map is optimized and protected.

Last balancing update: 1.64
Last bug-fixing update: 1.64
Last error-fixing update: 1.51

Massive cosmetical changes in 1.47

Note:
The map should be balanced now. If you still think something is overpowered or unbalanced feel free to post here.
If you are new to this check the hints.
New game modes! check them out!

This game is designed to be hard for humans too.
It's harder for vamps to find bases but easier to destroy them than in other versions.
Without teamplay there is no chance to win, this applies more for humans than for vamps.
