(4) The Hounds of War

A fierce war has broken out between the nations of Ludur and Sierasa over the province of Briann, desired by both sides for its strategic and economic value. The citizens of Briann, lacking the military might to evict either force, let alone both, resigned themselves to conquest by the victor. However, four warriors volunteered to combat the threat – a retired assassin, the Brianna Village militia captain, an elven mercenary, and a mountain hermit. Together, a sneak attack on the armies' generals might succeed where the combined power of the region had failed.

The Hounds of War is a single or multiplayer map that pits the player(s) against two computer-controlled armies simultaneously. The objective is to kill both the Ludur and Sierasa generals before Brianna Village is destroyed. NOTE: This map requires the Frozen Throne expansion! The features include:

-Cooperative multiplayer for up to four players. The game automatically scales in difficulty to match the number of players, and is completable by any number of players.
-Challenging boss encounters. The meat of the game is fighting the Ludur and Sierasa generals and their captains, each of which offers a unique challenge and reward. Bosses will reset if all players leave their room.
-Changing battlefield conditions. The tide of the battle shifts when one general has been defeated, and the player(s) must adapt quickly to avoid losing the village!

This map has been a work in progress for a long time, due to work and injury, so there are many changes I want to make that I haven't had a chance to include yet. I am very interested in getting feedback on the heroes, bosses and especially multiplayer (the one thing I couldn't test properly by myself,) as well as the overall design and fun-factor of the map. Thank you very much for your time, and I hope you enjoy the map!
