Gameplay

Collect 2000 points (gold) before enemy team gets it (stone).


Food = kills
Gold = Your team's points.
Stone = Enemy team's points.

(You can't attack enemy team's castles.)

• You need to stand on target area (Flag C)
• Necessary time to the acquisition of the object: 30 sec
• After 5-10 sec the Flag C turn into gaia flag.
• If you leave the area when it's converting (when you see a Flag A) the timer is reseted.
• When converting done Flag A will disappear, and flag C is yours.
• If the flag is gaia, you can see 4 Flag E next to Flag C.
• You cannot convert your teammate's flag. (Own Flag A doesn't matter.)

If enemy player try capturing flag, you will see on minimap an "X" mark.



If a player resign or disconnect, then his team gets some Genghis Khan as restitution.

500 kills = 5 hp and 1 attack / 20 sec
600 kills = 5 hp and 1 attack / 10 sec

It's good, but lack of symmetry makes it unfair.

is this World of warcrafts Arathi Basin?

Agree, the distance of base-flag are not same for teams. Some point are closer to team 1, others are closer to team 2. But it's only trivial. Unit's speed and spam time count more.



When I had the map idea, I looked for a terrain which is makable in aoe2 and I found this is the best.

BETA testing finished, now normal AoC and AoFE version in 1.00 stage, have fun^^

Updated normal and AOFE version to 1.1

I love you Gallas_HU

That's an exact replica of Arathi Basin PVP zone from WoW , but I think it looks awesome! GJ!

I had 1 year beta testing because lot of stuff need to test, with low community harder find any problem.

But if it's going seriously, I can give non-hidden version for official bug-tracking and testing.

Is similar to =V=Dota.scx

The same style of map

@CaNeK

i played it when it was new and did not enjoy it

After few months I edited some stuff in normal version:

1.2- Anticheat reworked, the game no longer boot (crash) at start if host use wrong settings
1.2- If two or more player standing on flag it's captureable.
1.2- No more damage on flag, feel free camping on it

1.2- No more damage on flag, feel free camping on it

i'll try again
