WHAT
IS HOARD? |
 |
| Hoard-Play is a new feature for Descent 2, available
on the Vertigo Upgrade CD-ROM from Interplay. Hoard is somewhat like
flag-play for regular Descent 2. They are both multi-player options
and require Red and Blue Goals for play, but Hoard goals appear GREEN
in the game! |
THE
RULES AND SCORING |
 |
 |
When an opponent is killed he leaves behind a Green
Orb as well as the usual assortment of goodies. Orbs may be collected
and taken to any goal. Only twelve orbs may be carried by a
player at one time. When a player is killed he leaves behind however
many orbs he was carrying PLUS one for himself, (unless he kills himself,
then he only leaves the orbs he was carrying). |
 |
| Point Values: |
 |
01 orbz = 01 pointz
02 orbs = 03 points
03 orbs = 06 points
04 orbs = 10 points
05 orbs = 15 points
06 orbs = 21 points |

| * There is no other way to score in Hoard. But don't
let that stop you from trying to kill your opponents, it'll stop them
from scoring. |
BUILDING
HOARD/FLAG |
 |
It's not as hard as it may seem. The only hard part
is adding the Red and Blue Goals.
Using DMB2, if you want to change a cube into a goal:
- Click
then goto Cube Type.
- There you will find a listing for Red and Blue goals as well
as other special types
of cubes that are available.
- Once you've selected Red or Blue, you'll notice that that cube
is now Red or Blue (in Wireframe View). This cube is now a goal.
Why Doesn't It Look Like a Goal?
In a Multi-Player Flag or Hoard game, whatever texture is on a Goal
Wall will be changed accordingly. To make it look like a goal no matter
the game type:
- Select the Goal Cube and select whatever side has a texture.
Click
.
- Now, scroll through the choices of Texture1, you'll
see that they are in Alphabetical Order, and Red Goal and Blue
Goal are among them.
- Pick what you need and paste where necessary.
THAT'S IT !!
When starting your multiplayer game you will have the choice of Flag,
Hoard, or Team Hoard. |
