A CTM map series created by
poetofsilence
Hey everyone! This is a Complete the Monument style map inspired by Vech's Super Hostile series. It is designed to set up the player as the "Hero" and pits them against trials and challenges that, upon completion, will reward the player with Fleecy Boxes and loot. The Hero will fight to complete the Monument, collect all the Legendary Loot, and place all the Trophies; all while trying to stay alive.The Land of Heroes series displays some striking differences from other CTM maps.
First, these maps do not lean on difficulty. They will not kill you over and over. These are not "15-Ghast-Spawners-over-the-void-parkour-to-the-box" style maps. Adventure, success, hard won fights, and bad-a$$ loot push the player from each area to the next.
Second, LoH focuses on finesse and detail to achieve a higher level of immersion for the player. Smaller, tighter areas allow players to search their environment thoroughly, often finding valuable upgrades and treasures.
Third, these maps have Mob Griefing and Keep Inventory optional. This allows the player to take chances that they would not be able to under normal circumstances, allowing for awe inspiring actions.
1: Find and complete the Monument.
2: Use wool won from chests to complete the Monument. No shearing, dyeing, or crafting wools for the m.
3: The Iron, Gold, and Diamond blocks -must- be crafted.
4: Use at least Easy difficulty.
5: Do not leave the boundaries of the map or go into naturally generated chunks.
6: Survive in any way you can think of. You may place, break, craft, etc.
7: You may not craft, break, or move ender chests.
8: No mods that affect gameplay. Visual mods, damage indicators, lighting effects are all welcome.
9: The most important rule of all; have fun!
Map 1: Realm of the Fathers Type: Linear Branching Objectives: 19 block M, Armory, Trophies Difficulty: 5-7/10 Players: 2 (1-3)
(Expected release date 02/2014)
Synopsis:
Realm of the Fathers marks the beginning of the Hero's journey to greatness. Throughout the map they will fight through treacherous caves, encounter powerful enemies, solve puzzles, and grind through normal Minecraft mechanics to stay alive. Resources are scarce, enemies are not, and each battle presents a new challenge. But as the Hero becomes stronger, the weapons and armor will become more and more powerful. Only a Hero can complete the Monument, earn Legendary Loot, and place the severed heads of his enemies as Trophies.

Love the concept of the map, I've waited for this kind of CTM map for a long time, and good job on the map so far. The map looks great and simple, I guess u wouldn't mind if I review and give feedbacks to your map once the alpha or beta comes out?

I would love that. It is in its infancy stages right now, but I will need people to beta the map once I have a few areas more built. It is going slow because I am trying to detail each area before I move on to the next.

If you are interested in beta testing the map then give me your email. Once I get a beta polished I will send it over. I would like to have the map tested after every 5 wool blocks. I will have to see if I can get enough testers to do that.

Got a lot done between yesterday and today. Finished off The Marsh of Terror, which puts our wool count up to Magenta. I built the husk of the next dungeon, The Desolate Ruins, but still need to do ALL the detail work.
Also took an idea that I had some time ago and tweaked, polished and implemented it. Realm of the Fathers is beginning to feel slightly on the adventure side. Oh well. Here are a couple teasers for the newest addition, The Forgotten Sanctum. This will be an experience "shop" where the player can use his xp to buy useful items (like diamonds and iron ingots? surely not...). It will also feature the Wishing Well to give the player a chance to earn quick xp. Thoughts?

Update 12/16/13: Worked out all of the bugs with the Sanctum and began detailing the Ruins. Also worked on some interesting concepts for custom mobs and bosses that I think would give a nice touch. Coming along!

Worked some more on the Custom Mob spawners. Command blocks are kicking my butt. After that I worked on detailing in the Sanctum and the dungeon. Here are some screens of what I did.

Thanks so much.

Certainly. Thanks.

Sure, once it's finished. It wouldn't do much good to review a half finished map.

Would like to remind you that "Victory Monument" is a copyrighted term by Vechs though, and cannot be used in a map aside from Vechs' work
