Map Info
Gnoll Invasion version:
Having heard that orcs are starting to exploit resources in their neighbourhood, gnolls have decided to take their place in the rat race:
New custom race: Gnolls
A race unlike any you've seen before:
- Masters of theft and crime - they steal enemy construction and technology plans, and even enemy units, to construct/recruit them at their own disposal
- Elite units that can level up to lvl 100
- Towers which upgrade automatically over time and which can be entered by workers to grant them an additional attack
- Construction Site building system
- Dig Tunnel project
- Mud Golems that build Piles of Stones and repair structures with mud
And much more...
*To choose Gnolls just click "Gnolls" in the dialog that appears at the start of the game. The AI can also play Gnolls - if the third player in each team is a computer player, it will play Gnolls.
Map description:
This is a unique forest map filled with trees where players have to expand their logging empire and destroy the competition. Players start with 5 Woodcutters, a Kodo Beast and 40 lumber and can choose to expand in a number of ways to destroy their opponents or help allies. The map has two custom races based on orcs and gnolls respectively, and their technology and magic; there are even global spells. The starting locations are orderly random and there is a huge forest at the disposal through which paths can be carved or forward bases built by cutting down trees. There are also Qrh'qrc, the map's boss who drops a resource needed for the construction of one of the buildings which unlocks new units, Wywyr who randomly roams the woods and players can get control of her and her powers temporarily and wild Kodo Beasts which can be captured. The main resource is lumber and it is used for making almost everything, and Seeds of Qrh'qrc replace gold. It is recommended to play this map with 6 players (3v3), but you can also play it with any other available number and combination of players; even in the Free Play mode when only one player slot is occupied. The map has AI and it can be also played with/versus the computer players. Some of the possible strategies and tips on how to play can be found in the Strategies & Tips in the quest log in-game.
