Random Map Script by Matei of Woad Creations ~ Over the past week, I've created a blood-style random map script with favor for kills, units auto-spawning based on favor, and infinite buyable god powers, technologies, myth units, heroes and "elite" soldiers. There are 3 random environments (Greek, Egyptian and Norse). Players play Norse to get favor from kills. They start in bases containing 10000-HP Hill Forts around a circular arena with a Healing Spring on a hill in the middle. They must destroy enemy Hill Forts and protect their own to win. Behind each player's base there is a "store island" where they can buy units/powers/technologies using favor. Depending on how much favor you have, a number of units auto-spawn from your Hill Fort every few seconds. It's your choice how you use the favor of the gods You can download Norse Wars v1.0 from Here is the full description of it, copied-and-pasted from the ReadMe file: RULES: - Every player controls a Hill Fort, and they lose if it is destroyed FEATURES: - Very fast download time due to small file size HOW TO HOST A GAME: - Norse Wars should be played mutiplayer with human players, as computer players don't know how to use favor to buy things TO OTHER SCRIPTERS: - You are free to use this script or parts of it in your own work, but PLEASE GIVE CREDIT TO THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR (MATEI) if you do so! Use a script comment and/or an in-game text message. [This message has been edited by Matei (edited 01-05-2003 @ 07:28 PM).]

- Players are all Norse and get favor when their human units fight
- Human units spawn for each player at their Hill Fort. The more favor the player has, the more types of units spawn.
- Favor may be paid on the store island behind players' bases to:
- Buy a god power (available powers depend on the map)
- Upgrade weapons, armor or shields (there's no limit to upgrades)
- Buy a myth unit or hero (available units depend on the map)
- Buy an "elite" human soldier (available soldiers depend on the map)
- Supports anywhere from 2 to 12 players
- Three random skins (Greek, Egyptian and Norse) with different terrains, random buyable god powers and random buyable units from those cultures
- Many strategies for victory: will you hoard favor to get more auto-spawning soldiers, buy weapons or armor to upgrade your troops, field an army of myth units, control the Healing Spring in the center, or make use of god powers to defeat your opponents?
- Unlimited replayability: every map generated is different
- Countless hours of fast-paced fun!
- Host a game using ESO Advanced Setup or LAN/DirectIP
- Select Supremacy under Game Type
- Press Other Settings and set Visibility to Revealed
- Click Select Map and choose Norse Wars v1.1 from the list
- All players must be Norse to get favor from fighting
- If you want to edit the map, PLEASE DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE. Copy the file and rename it, so that there aren't any version conflicts with people who don't have your edited version.
The AoMH upload should be here soon. If you have comments, post them here or on that map's descrition page. Enjoy Norse Wars, and maybe we can play it on ESO sometime .
