Story
Fleeing from the battle that will soon be called the "War of the Damned", few men from unknown allegiance take shelter in the nearby Frostthorn Forest.
The shattered army of Frostborn retreats to the Dragon's Grasp, a single opening in the great mountain range dividing the North-West from the South-East. Sproutmere, the contending army consisting of mainly Druids and Plaguemages, was by no means geared for the war but somehow managed to secure the upper hand. Sproutmere suffered heavy casualties but slowly pursues the Frostborn army into Dragon's Grasp to ensure utter victory.
The War of the Damned was surprising for world's onlookers as Sproutmere was by no means the predicted winners. The Sproutmere were heavily outnumbered and were sure to lose to the Frostborn army had they not performed a wicked spell. Unknown to the Frostborn the Sproutmere mass-cursed the land before the battle took place skewing the advantage in their favour. This curse was absorbed largely by the Vanguard of the Frostborn army, temporarily phasing them out of the physical plane and forcing their phased forms to evacuate towards the Frostthorn Forest. The Sproutmere where unaware however that the curse had affected unknown numbers of their own Vanguard and chaos for both armies greeted the battle.
It was a time before the affected phased back into the middle of Frostthorn forest. Upon phasing back into the physical plane, all social knowledge, armour and weaponry did not follow and allegiance was impossible to distinguish. The battle was long finished however it did not matter to those in the Frostthorn Forest, for the Ice Mages of Frostborn had intervention in mind. The High-Commander of the Frostborn army, unaware of the Sproutmere's divine curse, was greatly angered at the Vangaurd for abandoning their posts. He commanded that the Ice Mages of Frostborn call upon their deity to imprison all of those that fled into the Frostthorn Forest to a test of ultimate combat to prove their need for existence. And to an extent beyond either armies' recognition this was granted.
The conglomeration of the two army's Vanguards are now trapped with each other in a divine test of rigour and merit. They must build up and reacquire weapons and armour to withstand the onslaught that is to come. Allegiances are unknown as is the length of this torture.
About
Vanguard is a complex map focusing around the protection and survival of yourself especially your Town Center. This simple task is hindered by hordes of enemies periodically rushing to destroy your existence. The longer you stand up against the hordes of enemies the harder it gets to withstand them. You will eventually be overrun and outmatched by the sheer force and technology that the horde possesses.
Distinction
Athough Vanguard is played exactly like any Conquest styled map; it is not a Scenario - Vanguard is a Random Map Script which makes for a very different playstyle. This may seem completely questionable as Random Map Scripts are played as Supremacy by default, however let me elaborate. The last player in Vanguard is placed as and becomes the enemy player, normally an AI this player spawns enemies periodically and sends them into attack the Town Centers. The other players however cannot attack the enemy player's base or approach the spawning area of the enemies, this means you can only defend and not attack. Furthermore, being an RMS you can play with any amount of players, even having AIs as allies because they do actually work pretty well.
Survivalist Mode
Survivalist Mode employs a different set of victory conditions which sets up some backstabbing fun and can be utilized to great extent. This is pretty much Last Man Standing; the last player to have a Town Center still standing is declared the winner. This mode can be enabled by setting the map to Large before generation, however is useless if played Solo. Although this mode is meant to be used when multiple teams for the defenders have been set, it can be enabled even when the defenders are united. This can lead to some interesting results. Defending players may kite an enemy wave right up to the Town Center of a fellow defending player with a single decoy unit, once that unit dies the wave of enemies starts to attack the closest unit - which is the Town Center. Walling can also force enemy units to go other routes to attack players. If a player does die then their Town Center will up for expansion and defending players get the chance at a "second life" so to speak. Players do not have to concede to these rules however, and if playing with the AI or friends and a larger map is wanted then large may be selected and the added Victory Conditions can be ignored. Just make sure that you friends don't back stab you :p.

My Games\Age of Mythology\RM2 folder
Or
SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Age of Mythology\rm2
folder for AoM:EE
Then just play the map in a random map like normal, make sure the last player is an AI. After a certain amount of time (depending on the difficulty) enemies will start attack you.[Edited on 06/09/14 @ 02:19 PM]

I would gladly rate this 5/5 and play it all the time, but aside from 30 minute 1v1 titan matches where I resign due to having unpenetrable defences, this absolutely needs to be fixed for multiplayer usage. |
