FORT WARS 3.1

DOWNLOAD HERE

This a MULTIPLAYER map designed for ESO! Computer players will not understand the new style of play! Do not attempt to play against computers and complain to me!

Many new tricks have been found in the past few months. I've applied a number of them here in this map, including scatter effects, change units in area, unstealth, and more. Highlights include a great new 1500 kills award, with a surprise "Blessing of Arkantos". Enjoy!

NO SYNC ERRORS! From 2.0 onwards, no fix map will be needed after a game of Fort Wars! Fort Wars no longer causes errors after the game, and in fact, will fix any sync errors from previous versions!

the custom games (besides fort wars) suck in this..i really enjoyed them sometimes in aok/aoc....hell a regular person could make pretty cool scenarios in aoc too
