After reading the book Eragon I decided to make a map of it myself. I tried to do the whole city in the mountains concept, and I even made the AI attack from the tunnels, along with other things from the book, Ex: The dwarves of the Ingeitum clan get are buried in marble, the training ground, three battalions, Waterfall opening etc.
Together they watched the dark mouth of the tunnel through the ranks of men and sharpened stakes. A minute dragged by, then another... and another. Without taking his eyes from the tunnel, Eragon hoisted himself into Saphira's saddle, Zar'roc in his hand. Murtagh mounted Tornac beside him. Then a man cried, "I hear them!"
The warriors stiffened; grips tightened on weapons. No one moved... no one breathed.
Harsh Urgals shouts shattered the air as dark shapes boiled upward in the tunnel's opening. At a command, the cauldrons of pitch were tilted on their sides, pouring the scalding liquid into the tunnel's hungry throat.The monsters howled in pain, arms flailing. A torch was thrown onto the bubbling pit, and an orange piller of greasy flames roared up in the opening, engulfing the Urgals in an inferno. Sickened Eragon looked across Farthen Dur at the other two battalions and saw similar fires by each he sheathed Zar'roc and strung his bow.
More Urgals soon tamped the pitch down and clambered out of the tunnels over their burned brethren. They clumped together presenting a sold wall to the men and dwarves. Behind the palisade Orik had helped build, the first row of archers pulled on their bows and fired. Eragon and Arya added their arrows to the deadly swarm, and watched shafts eat through the Urgal's ranks.
The Urgal line wavered, threatening to break, but they covered themselves with their shields and weathered the attack. Again the archers fired, but the Urgals continued to stream onto the surface at a feroscous rate.
Eragon was dismayed by their numbers. They were supposed to kill every single one? It seemed a madman's task...
---Updates---
-I adjusted the terrain.
-Just like in the book, some of the enemy now comes from tunnels inside the castle.
-Now 400 more spearmen and 100 swordsmen attacking.

Hey again, I have another bright idea, lol. How bout making a map about the battle of Farthrn Dur' but different, kinda, like, the battle outside the mountian, where Eragon was in the waterfall pool. And the twist is, he isn't with Saphira, but he has the Dwarves instead, and he has to fend them off, and those who retreat have to be tracked downa nd killed. Idk, it's just an idea, lol. Let me know if it sounds good or not. Thnx, l8r. |
