This map is the follow-up of the map Footmen Chronicles, which was released about a year ago for Warcraft III: The frozen throne, which was a modded version of the better known Footmen Frenzy, which in turn was a modded version of Footmen Wars.
It focuses on the main themes which those maps had, with greatly enhanced functionality and gameplay. Included in all this is, among other things:
- The classical hero-unit system, where a player may choose a hero, and upgradable units are continually spawned.
- 6 races with 6 tiers each, which should give players longer and more entertaining games.
- A hopefully very balanced weapon system, with each race having it's strengths and weaknesses over other races.
- A banking system for increased complexity.
- An extensive item system, covering all wishes of the players.
- A far more strategic approach to the far too tactical predecessor.
Besides these basic features, the releases will also add different options which cannot be fully disclosed right now:
- An AI
- An improved and new system of spawning a variety of support units.
- Variable player numbers and players per team for varying game styles.
- Different game modes, including coop modes where all players work together, the classic mode, a competitive mode and a survival mode.
- A blending of different game styles like AOS and Footmen-style, Tower Defense and Hero defense style. (This will be on demand, as a kind of vote, or Minigame. More details to be released.
The project's current status is: In development with no version released thus far.
