YULEWARS "YULE WOODLANDS"
SINGLE PLAYER VERSION * FINAL *
If you'd prefer the 2 Player version
click this linkSTORY
Each year at the time of the Winter Solstice, the Night Elves and Humans celebrate Yule. The Night Elves grow huge magical Yule Trees, harvest a few of them and share the Yule Logs with the Humans. Some Human settlements are now also growing their own Yule Trees. Without Yule Trees, or Yule Logs their yearly celebration would be ruined. The Orc Grinches know this, and so they are already preparing for this most important mission. To infiltrate the Night Elf and Human settlements in this area and to find\steal as many Bundles of Yule Logs as they can. However, the Magical Vortex through which the Bundles of Yule Logs are to be delivered can only be kept open for a certain amount of time. Should the Orc Grinches run out of time, the mission will be aborted.

Thank you for playing YULEWARS "YULE WOODLANDS", which is only one map in a series of Yule Wars maps.
All of our Yule War maps come in 2 versions...
* Multi Player versions * which allow 2 players to compete head to head against each other, and the clock. These maps also allow for a single player to go at it alone.
* Single Player versions * which also have a timer ticking away, however these versions will take longer to play through, are more battle intensive, have more random attacks, more triggered attacks, more sounds used, etc.

Thanks for pointing out that the 2 versions are TOO similar at a quick glance.you don't need upload again, just go in the map and click in the button "uptated"
I'll have to figure something out to differentiate the maps from each other a bit better. Note that one is a 2 player version, the other is a single player only version.

Wow, that's a nice job pointing things out. I suggest you look before you say things. I don't know if the moderators approve of two versions of this, but I've seen tons of those in the Hive.

Well, the 2 maps are based on the same terrain design, however, each of the versions play very differently. This was detailed in my descriptions. I've only been at The Hive for a few weeks, so I'll have to see what the Mods here think of 2 versions of the same map. But since you've seen this happen before, I guess it shouldn't be a problem. We'll see what happens
