[edit] Map Description
In this game, four master swordsmen make a stand to defend the Sacred Tree against waves of attacking insects. Your defense begins as night falls and you and your teammates must repel the seige of the Sacred Tree until daylight.
You, along with three companions, have an arsenal of powerful kicks, jumps, and cuts at your disposal. You can energize these attacks with a powerful ward of lightning. Beware, however, many of your attacks will not discriminate between your companions and your opponents, which are constantly swarming towards the Sacred Tree. You must recover health and mana by collecting the energies of enemies and magical mushrooms around the Golden Forest.
- Recommended for 3 or 4 players who are willing to work together.
[edit] Game Modes
- 3 levels of difficulty, defined by how many hit points the Sacred Tree starts with: Student (4500 hp), Master (3000 hp), and Grandmaster (1500 hp).
[edit] Background
- The map was designed to be a hybrid game, inspired by the console actions games Ninja Gaiden and Otogi.
- A Stand of Blades began as an entry in the Clan TDG Mapathon contest series based upon the word 'Repel'. The prototype of this map, which was essentially the same with fewer features and abilities, was designed for this contest in one weekend.
[edit] More Info
All of the custom models in this map were downloaded from www.wc3sear.ch - proper credit for all of these incredible models, many of which are essential to the theme of this map (particularly those of the Kensei designed by Black_Stan), has been given in the map's directions (F9). Special thanks to Clan TDG members KrewL RaiN for the terrain and Shvegait for additions to the combat system.
- The second map in the ninja action/adventure Ayuma Series; for more Ayuma style gameplay see The Way Of Desolation.
