Wizard Wars - An awesome undiscovered mod for Half Life - Games

[release]Wizard Wars lets you choose from many different mages, each with varying strengths and special abilities, to battle other mages in a variety of settings and objectives. From “Capture the Grail” to all out Combo Chaos, in teams or with every magician on his own, Wizard Wars allows great flexibility in the maps played, objectives set (if any), and points earned. For those who like the idea of fast-paced all-out fighting with impressive and surprising magical staves and spells, Wizard Wars is sure to please! Arathas awaits you! [/release] This mod was thought to be dead, but a message from one of the developers back in January of this year assured everyone that it was not. They might be working on this, but there are no players. After seeing that there were no servers up, I thought that it was because this mod sucked. I started up my own server, and played for a good hour or so, just by myself. I fail to see why no one plays this. It's incredibly creative and unique, it's ridiculously fun, and it's well made. The game feels similar to Team Fortress Classic, with 9 different wizards, all of them somehow resembling a class in TF:C. There are also plenty of maps (15 to be exact) each resembling a TF:C map. Each wizard has unique spells, along with a seal that they can charge up. The seal is a static diagram on the ground, that when stepped on, helps allies, and hurts enemies. Here are the 9 different wizards: [b]Zephyrist[/b] I would describe the Zephyrist as the wizard of wind. He can knock enemies away, give allies a boost, and ride the wind (fly). The Zephyrist's seal can be used to boost allies up to ledges, or throw enemies up and let them fall to their deaths.

He can shoot lightning from his hands in a sustained stream, and also charge up a lightning bolt that comes out of the sky on a precise spot. The Tempest's seal increases damage for allies for 10 seconds, while it does 200 shock damage to enemies, with a 40% chance of missing. [img]http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/7307/wwshrinkspell0002.png[/img] [b]Pyromancer[/b] It's the Pyro!:dance: The Pyromancer has the abilities to create fire at any point. It's much like the Zephyrist's updraft spell, but it does damage. The pyro can also shoot a powerful fireball that explodes on impact. His seal makes allies invulnerable to fire damage, and deals 100 fire damage to enemies.

I'm not sure what exactly these do, since I haven't been able to play with anyone else, but I'm guessing if you cast your seal on theirs, or something at the same time, you'll achieve something amazing, such as summoning a dragon, or creating ball lightning, or raising the dead, and there's much more. This mod severely needs to be played by many, many people. Someone needs to set up a server (I can't due to fail connection) and we all need to get on and play. I'd be an Ice Wizard. The only requirement is Half Life 1 (not source).

Seems like a mod for TFC.

Undiscovered? This mod had hundreds of servers back in HL1's hey day. Hosted a server myself which was always full. Loved this mod so much, wish it'd come to source.

it's wizard fortress

Haha fuck yeah, I remember this. This shit was the bomb back then! In a good way ofc.

I got this mod around the same time as Monkey did, and I have to agree with him. I was amazed to find that there weren't any servers for it. So, I created my own and played around. Each mage has their own set of unique powers, and they are all usefull. TL;DR THIS GAME ROCKS!:rock:

Haha, I remember playing this with a friend of mine. I always took a geomancer and transformed into a bear, ambushed him behind a corner and he was like "AGRGLABGLRABGLRG". We also used to climb up places with the beanstalks on sylvanists.

Get this game peoples! Host a server! RAPE! Plus, when I said undiscovered, I meant for recently.

Installing this just for the lols.

Tell us if you make a server, tell us. I'll join.

I played the hell out of this, back in the day.

I can't host, sadly. We could use hamachi.

Why can't you host? [editline]03:25PM[/editline] I could, but everyone would lag like a little girl.

Ports and shit.

It's not too difficult to set up. What router you have, and do you know how to get into to port forwarding page?

What's a Voltamancer?

[QUOTE=Enishi;16159456]What's a Voltamancer?[/QUOTE] Tempest.

I think that's a typo they forgot to fix. It's probably the Tempest. Voltamancer sounds like lightning, Tempest is just that. [editline]03:32PM[/editline] How dare you ninja a ninja! [editline]03:32PM[/editline] Cat, I pm'ed you some instructions on how to porward your forts.

And I added you. :ninja:

Doesn't this like not work on steam. I tried this on steam it didn't work.

It works. I'm not sure if you're new to adding mods, but you have to restart steam for it to show up. [editline]03:51PM[/editline] We're working on setting up a server, so just wait a bit.

Gets some [img_Thumb] tags on them [img] tags. I might give this mod a look

Someone also try to set up a server

Got my download. A quick question though, I only have HL2...Any way I can still run it or not? I don't have HL1 :(

I installed it to my steam mods and nothing

[QUOTE=RaveRaze;16160549]I installed it to my steam mods and nothing[/QUOTE] You install it to your Half Life folder. [editline]09:13PM[/editline] [QUOTE=loopoofreak;16160441]Got my download. A quick question though, I only have HL2...Any way I can still run it or not? I don't have HL1 :([/QUOTE] You need HL1.

Oh god... Nostalgia... I played this years ago.

I was a player of this mod back in the old days.

AAAAAAwAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw sooo sad I didn't know it back then. I would have LOVED that mod :'(

Yeah, back when the community was larger. Seriously though, we need a dedicated server for this. I'm sure players from way back when still check for servers, only to be greeted with an empty server list.
