This is Matt's life story in his own words. Yes, third person. Shut up and read it, there's a free gift at the end and the least you can do is indulge my narcissism to get it.

Matt was pretty obsessed with modding rocks for some strange reason. The problem with AoK rocks isn't that there is only 6 shapes (Though one of them is the Abominable Rock Rotation - a single careless placement of it can turn a 5 worthy map into at best a 3), it's that they don't fit every map and terrain. Worse, there are so many times you need a rock that isn't the size of Pluto, but the only options are the stone mines, which leave ugly outlines, and the pile of stone, which does not maintain its rotation. Oh what was Matt to do?

To solve this, he did what every slightly neurotic modding enthusiast would naturally do. He created new rock graphics. He kept making new rock graphics. And along the way, he found there were people who wanted rock graphics and understood his passion - namely, the primal need for MOAR rocks. Some people asked for them and he freely gave them, and others stole them without asking, and in turn others stole from them, until at last Matt's rocks were popping up in mods he didn't even know existed. He had started something he couldn't control, and he was fine with that. It was too big a need to be petty over.

Matt started making terrible copy and paste rocks, then okay ones, then better 3d modelled ones, and then 3d modelled ones touched up in Photoshop. He created dozens and dozens of rocks, but it wasn't enough. They were still all just different shapes. Every time he went to make a scenario, he needed rocks on snow. Only two sea rocks? What was that, some cruel ES joke? To make him repeat the same two rocks up and down his coast line like some god of creation who had dementia? Where were the desert rocks? The jungle rocks? The gods saw fit only to mock him, for after years of suffering a new official expansion was released, adding only some vaguely rock shaped piles of manure, a fate worse than death. It is said this is why Matt still does not own a copy of said 'expansion', which clearly did not expand on the only thing that anyone who mattered cared about.

It has never been confirmed, but many theorize that the total lack of rocks was the sole reason Matt never produced a single scenario worth downloading. Some less informed called him lazy, some simple minded questioned his attention span. But the truly connected knew. It was the rocks which held him back. Damn those homogeneously grey limestone beasts.

But Matt is the hero of this story (a truly likable leading man), and where others were content with there 5+1 rotations of rocks, he never would be. He sought a better world.

Today that world has come...

I present to you the last 102 rock rotations you will ever need (until this weekend when I probably post another three dozen or so):





For the truly brave ones who read my 1:00am stream of egotistical consciousness, this system of rocks is perfectly free. Use them for your mods, your scenarios, your erotica collection (wait what?). I merely request you throw a line in your credits my way, though truly that isn't even necessary. I made these so you all may weep no more.

I plan to make slp's of them in manageable groups and upload this as a file to our blacksmith. If you can wait for me to get around to that it will likely save you some work. I'd also greatly appreciate a review or comment if you feel truly moved by this bouldery bonanza.

Have fun with them.
