Multiplayer Multiplayer scenarios write ups.
Capture the Flag v1.:
1 to 4 players
Each player has a base and a flag
Only Heroes can carry a flag
Players may not pick up their own flag.
Number of command points is locked at the beginning of a scenario, so that
if a hero dies you can get him back
Any units killed are placed on a Temporary reserves list and can be brought
back into a scenario once the player has enough gold to summon reserves.
Any Hero that dies comes back into play automatically after an amount of
time based on difficulty.
Any Hero that dies drops all his Objects of Power where he died. These can
be picked up by any other hero, including enemies. To win, use the opponents
Flag on your base and ensure that no opponent is holding your Flag.
If your flag is being carried, you have to kill the carrier in order to
get him to drop it.
Free for All
Simple war of attrition. Units don't regenerate after death, and reserves can
only be called upon once.
Shopping Spree
Exactly like Free for All, except victory condition is who has the most gold
at the end. Whoever has picked up and not USED the most gold at the end of
the time limit is the winner.
