SKELETAL RAGE

ABOUT Skeletal Rage
Skeletal Rage, started out as another Footmen Wars clone, but ended up being more fun and 'evolved' version of that game. Now it sports new unique units and gameplay eliminating any boredom caused by original footmen wars game.

Remember, this game is too easy to learn for only those who can spare 20-30 min's max learning the gameplay (prob less time). If you're one of those people who can't bother learning new gameplay only cause you're used to playing age old games like DOTA and Footmen Wars, then don't bother, cause it will only get harder for you.

I 'RECOMMEND' playing this game offline against computer AI. First, you can use the cinematic tutorial to learn more about gameplay (NOTE: Cinematic tutorial, not boring text tutorial). If you want a quick tutorial, then you have the option of reading the text version during gameplay.

Skeletal Rage comes with two modes:

MODE - 1
SKELETAL RAGE (2v2v2v2)
This mode started out as Footmen Wars clone, but evolved into more intense mode with added gameplay of normal melee. You will now play this game as any other normal melee (creating new units, collecting gold, upgrading them, etc.), but the game takes a U turn soon.

In new version, due to popular demand to eliminate slow gold income problems, you now have the option of creating a 'Slave' and using it to create 'Stores' near gold mines near your or enemies base. Collect gold using those mines. Create em, and let Slaves do their job, you are free to create your army now.

Your unlockable units are both ranged and melee one's. Unlike other Footmen Wars clone, you must create more than just melee footmen to survive. You have the option of auto creating melee footmen, but I recommend creating and upgrading units like 'Skeletal Mage' and 'Archers' if you want to win. There are two special units available in your 'Mystic Shrine', namely Soul Reaver and Mammoth. Both units are probably most feared units in Skeletal Rage, and when used with right units, can completely destroy careless enemy.

Skeletal Rage mode can be played offline against computer, and I recommend doing so to learn the ropes. This mode might feel daunting to newbies all over. For them, I have created one 'CINEMATIC' tutorial, and one normal text tutorial to learn the game. Again, I recommend you playing this game offline and learning against computer.

Few SR Mode Features:
* All improved 'Juggernaut' unit which spawns every 3 min's or so in the center of the battlefield. Capture it first and wreak havoc in enemies base. Can take and do heavy damage, resurrect dead units along with few other abilities and can carry units too.

* NEW computer AI is tougher, and can give some serious challenge in both online and offline games. On BattleNet, I recommend keeping only two computer AI's and rest human players.

* NEW Units, NEW Heroes, along with new special abilities and earth shattering Ultimates that 'will' bring smile to your faces.

* Mythical arena of Skeletal Rage is back, twice as twisted and twice as beautiful than any other versions.You will find yourself alone and scared in the bright mist and realistic ambiance.

* NEW Ambiance effects/sounds bring the world alive. The sounds are adjusted on the fly letting the ambiance sink in as you play.

MODE - 2
Air Assault (6v6)
Teams are divided up and you re-spawn in your base where except for first player (Red and Green) in your team, all others control heroes only. The leaders (Red and Green) must protect base and create air units from the gold their heroes provide. Your goal is to completely destroy the base of the opposing team. It is only possible by creating aerial units.

This mode is still under construction. But if you are used to playing DOTA or similar games, then you will find this mode familiar. Of course, as usual, this mode will bring more features than Dota or any other clone out there. And no, this isn't Dota, just the 'heroes' part is based on Dota, other than that, everything is new.

I haven't put in more description right now cause of it's beta stage. But the mode itself is playable in current version. Though many features like 'Vehicle' capture and 'In game Quests' are not complete and only few are available in this version, if you are adventurous, go ahead and give it a try, and if you get the idea how this mode is going to be, you can post your thoughts and suggestions at CryptiKarma.com.

I haven't worked on my mods for Wc3 for sometime now. So before I pack-up my modding tools and thow away the key, I have decided to finish some of the mods that I really enjoyed working on all this time..

Skeletal Rage 2: Sequel to SR: Extremities, SR2 pretty much achieves what I wanted to achieve with SR in the first place. A dark gory battlefield with skeletons and their captured slaves duking it out mindlessly. Win by numbers, through speed, using epic heroes and vehicles, or good old strategy.

Gameplay video from SR2 and the Screenshots collection.


I know, it's not the best demonstration considering that most Wc3 players are used to the massively detailed maps like Dota and AOS, but still, I hope it's more than enough for some people to give this map a try and then give some feedback. I have already started work on the standalone version of this game based on another project I have been busy with sometime for now (which will be posted here as well, Indie category). So feedback will help a lot with the standalone version as well as the mod.

UNDERWORLD: The Legend of Nephthys: "HDD crash.", "Recovery.", "Not quite dead.", that's basically the story of this project and the reason behind any activity AT ALL for a long time. I ended up chucking a big part of the project (mostly, pre-rendered cinematics) out of the window because of the loss of work that included the story and elements supporting the cinematics in the first place. What I will now do is to release what I have recovered as an unifinished campaign and a gameplay video (coming soon). Here's the last shot from the cinematic :(

That's pretty much it. I am looking forward to any feedback on SR2 primarily, except for the types that go "you suck", "this sucks", "I will suck".. and on..

It's in alpha now. AI still needs a lot of work, but basic gameplay is done for both modes. Next update will prob have all modes completely finished, balanced and with complete AI.

It will be big release for this map, and will provide fun to you guys until my campaign will be released :) (of course there will be small updates in between).

After this exits beta I just might re-install War3 just to try this map out. The added custom AI is a really nice touch too, most mappers are too lazy to bother with it.
