Night and Day

Here is another writeup for a map idea that I had I hope you like.
Title: Night and Day
Type: Team Death Match
Players: 6-8
Theme:
An Elvin Island now abandoned is now in ruins due to the stone creatures that lie on the other side of a natural portal. Necromancers have now taken over the island and are preparing an army of mass destruction that is preparing for the Great War. The recent prisoners that have been captured from the Cursed Island are being readied for drowning. As they have taken the prisoners out of the sheltered town threw the heavy fog that has set in the prisoners devise a way to escape. Having heard that their bindings will be cut just before drowning this was the best bet. As they push off the bindings are cut and the members of a small mercenary army are thrown overboard. Once all of the prisoners have been thrown over the skeleton heads back to shore where then he will head back to the encampment.
Little did the skeleton or the necromancers that commanded the island that the army members knew how to swim. As each of the members of the army make it back to the island to the island they inform them that the Army of the Dead must die. What the army did not know was that the Necromancers held a scroll that would reveal an unknown portal to them. The army plotted to kill the army during the night in the heavy fog. They knew that the area was lit from light rocks that elfish people once used, so they had to be careful in their approach.
Description:
The Island is next to pitch-black with a heavy fog. The blue team is to kill the members of the encampment. Rock cliffs with one back area surround the main area of the island with a steep path to the natural portal. There are 5 7 light rocks that will be scattered throughout the island. Also in the main area is a little bay. There is a cliff walk to through some steep rocks and a canyon area that a ship could not even sail threw. From the dock site the main area cannot be seen because of the cliffs that surround it. There is a climb to a bridge from this docking area.

I'm in the process of getting things setup up just right. Right now I currently need to get the light rocks glowing the right way and lay our the encampment. I will most likely post a lit picture and a dark picture. Once I have the pictures up I should have it done with only some technical difficulties that would need to be touched up by someone else.

In the near future I will post a link to a webpage where I will have the board ready to download with instructions on the extra things that need to be installed.

There was a typo in the URL Tim Downs gave, I was able to figure out the nay was really suppose to be day. Plus the fact geocities.com doesn't allow direct downloading of files nor images from other sites. :)

If you experience an error create a folder entitled "my textures" and place it in the terrains folder. Then place the rock.jpg in it and that should fix everything.

I made an unfortunate mistake in the instructions that went with Night & Day. If you have downloaded the zip and installed everything according to the instruction you probably will find that there is an error. If you experience an error create a folder entitled "my textures" and place it in the terrains folder. Then place the rock.jpg in it and that should fix everything.

Couldn't tell you if it's official or not, but it's done and I doubt James or Phil or anyone else cares about the story enough to request another one.

I know about that story. And I say that each selective mission/set of boards that someone might go on even has a story behind it. I think what you have written is great.
