[Coleman]

Who is in charge of the quench?
We can all PM him until it is quenched.
But I don't think that would help much......


Or would it?

sure harass gimil. He hasn't stamped this yet.

Give him GRAPHICS, not gameplay. I would say he deserves the graphics stamp the most.

============================================
Map Complexity
It only has one way borders so the gameplay is not simple but there are no special techniques or new XML features.

I say this is a moderate to High moderate map.

Accompanying Story:

Your sword has had quite a workout today, mowing down the undead minions summoned by the evil sorcerer Draknor to guard his fortress. According to Belegruin, your closest friend and an expert spell caster, this is the last room before you reach Draknor's lair. While little Garrick -- hired against your better judgment for his quick reflexes and nimble fingers -- checks the final door for traps, you sit back to rest and let the party's healer tend to your wounds.

"Hold it!" shouts Garrick, "It's a trap!"

"Then disable it and pick the lock," you answer wearily. "That's what you're here for."

"No, it's not on the door. It's the whole room. Look at the floor!"

All of you look down. The floor tiles are covered with strange sigils. They mean nothing to you, but Belegruin clearly recognizes them.

"The munchkin is right," he says. "This is a teleportation circle with glyphs of warding around the edges... we're trapped here. This enchantment is too powerful for me to break."

Just then, a deep, maniacal laughter echoes through the chamber. "You thought you might defeat me, adventurers? I am Draknor, the greatest wizard who ever lived! Now you will go where all the others who sought to infiltrate my fortress were sent: into my dungeon maze, a labyrinth of 1-way doors from which there is no escape!

Can you prove yourself worthy by conquering the entire dungeon and making it safely to the next level alive?

Recommended Gameplay Settings:

Any

Gameplay Feature Associations:

1) One Way Borders-All territories are connected with one way doors.

Map Description:

The Dungeon of Draknor-The Halls of Testing is the first level of three, for this map series. Due to the fact that every door is a one way border, the way a player defends and attacks neighboring bonus areas is much trickier than on a standard two way border map.

Quenching

---The Final Forge period has concluded for the Dungeon of Draknor - The Halls of Testing Map. All objections have had their time. The Foundry and I hereby brand this map with the Foundry Brand. Let it be known that this map is now ready for live play (barring any Lack vetoes).

Conquer Club, enjoy!

[AndyDufresne]

Lack may veto part of the name...so we may have to shorten it...perhaps to something like 'Draknor - Halls of Testing'...just so you are aware.


--Andy

[lanyards]

Congratulations! I knew it couldn't be much longer till quench.

[Gilligan]

Lack may veto part of the name...so we may have to shorten it...perhaps to something like 'Draknor - Halls of Testing'...just so you are aware.


--Andy

Why not just Dungeon of Draknor? Does WM plan to make more of this kind?

[AndyDufresne]

Yes, it's the first part in a three part series.

On the game select page I want them to be:

Draknor-Level 1
Draknor-Level 2
Draknor-Level 3

Unless they can be slightly longer. Regardless I want them to sort alphabetically

Congrats, WM! Can't wait to play it!

Nice work WM - another great map for you.

[WidowMakers]

Thanks everyone for you help with everything. I hope this map plays well and that the other 2 in the series fair better than most sequels in trilogies.

Thanks to Jota as well for coming up with the idea and allowing me to finish it.
