BadIdeas

This guide will be designed with version 4.2 in mind. It will work with earlier versions and probably with later, but in older versions some triggers, options, skills, and strats will be missing or won’t work quite the same.

First let us start with the FAQ’s:

Q: What are the differences between Normal, Free-For-All, and Conquest modes?
A: Normal allows allying, with no upper limit on allies, although most hosts will state a limit before the match starts. Free-For-All (FFA) doesn’t allow allying, but is otherwise the same as normal mode. Conquest is the same as FFA but when you die you become conquered and continue fighting under your conquer.

Q: What are Vassals and why should they be on or off?
A: Vassals are extra troops that spawn at a conquered base. They spawn 3 per cycle and can never be upgraded beyond starting troops. Although, blacksmith upgrades still apply to them. If they are turned off bases are destroyed when conquered and no vassals will appear.

Q: Can I choose any hero in hero choice mode?
A: You can only choose from the 12 heroes that are in the map. Shortly after making this choice a building will spawn where your color’s default hero was and you can choose. With this mode on, more then one player can have the same hero.

Q: What is insurgency mode?
A: Normally if your main base is destroyed, you lose. With insurgency mode, as long as your hero lives you can keep fighting.

Q: What are Castles and why should I have different limits?
A: Castles can be bought at your main base for 250 gold and 200 wood. Each castle increases your default spawn size by 1. The first Castle you buy also changes your spawns into stronger troops. The fourth castle spawns a heavier there are no flying units or no flying and no heavy melee units.

Q: What are Hero Taverns for?
A: If enabled melee unit every spawn (better then normal units, but can't learn defend). The fifth castle adds a flying unit to every other spawn that is a heavy ranged type. By setting limits lower you can make it so Hero Taverns can be built by a worker you can buy at your main base for 50 gold. They cost 100 gold to build and for another 100g you can get a secondary hero.

Q: How do I win/lose?
A: To win, everyone but you, or you and your allies, are dead. If you lose your main base you lose (unless insurgency mode is on).

Q: How do I get resources?
A: Killing a hostile unit gains you 10 gold and 10 lumber.

Q: How do I ally/unally?
A: Type “-ally color” to ally, and type “-war color” to unally.

Q: Who is the best at this game?
A: I like to think I am.

Q: How do I change my name in game?
A: Type “-name your new name” to change your name.

Q: How do I open/close doors?
A: you can only open/close doors on bases you control. Type “-open” to open your own base’s door and type “-open color” to open a door on another base under your control. To close type “close” or “close color”; you can even close destroyed doors (they reappear). Otherwise you can chop doors down.

Q: I see creep circles on the mini map, are there creep in this game?
A: Yes, they are usually fairly tough to kill but each has some sort of reward associated with it.

Q: I see shop icons on the mini map, can I by items in this game?
A: No, those are teleporters. However, there are items from quests as well as a few recruitment spots for specialized units.

If you have any more questions PM them to me and I will add them on.

_________________________________________________T his Second part will be important map loactions, and quest information....when i get to it.

For starters here is the map of 12k with the locations I will be covering numbered.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

1. This is a collection of castles, one for each color. Not sure what the point of them is, im pretty sure there not needed. Anyway, you can't get to them so it doesnt matter, ignore them.

2a. Teleports you to 2b. It is also the side accessible from the rest of the map.

2b. Teleports you to 2a.

3a. Teleports to 3b, accessible side.

3b. Teleports to 3a.

4. Mercenary shop where you can buy 2 different units. One is an infiltrater/spy type unit that is invisible with a good sight range. The other is a counter-spy unit that can see invisible units. Both units cost 30 gold to recruit, and you can buy as many as you can afford.

5a. Accessible from the 2a-b teleport system. Here resides Daisho (spelling may be off) a blademaster on steriods. He guards his house which contains the "Crown of the High King". Just carrying it gives +2 to all stats.

5b. This is where you take the "Crown" once you have it. You will recieve the "Spirit of the High King" which is a demon hunter in permanent demon form. The high king has evasion, mana burn, 15% vampiric aura, and I think immolation (can't remember). It also has a huge splash and somewhere between 1200-1500 life (not sure exactly how much), but once killed it is dead forever.

6a. This is a dragon nest which is gaurded by none other then a dragon. It has huge splash so be carefull when taking it down. The nest contains a "Staff of Reza".

6b. Yup, this is where you take that staff, gaining 4 casters that can cast either slow or curse. You also get their base which has a limited ability to defend itself, and you can recruit more casters there for 25 gold. At least I think its 25 gold.....

Your map is extremely confusing. Are the numbers placed Randomly, or what? :P
