    Before I even start talking about the making of the MAP, I need to extend two very special thank-yous:
    The first to the Heroes Orchestra, for being kind enough to allow me to use their outstanding performance in this project.
    Check out the original video of the Necropolis cover, with English translation for those of us who don't know Latin, here: • Heroes Orchestra - Nec... (They also have many other songs. Each one is an auditory treat that deserves to be listened to at least three times in a row.)
    Please look around on the Heroes Orchestra website, if you like this project, maybe make a donation or buy a CD! heroesorchestr...
    And the second thank-you to official-darkforest on Tumblr, whose "Second Death" comics inspired this project's plot. Read them here: official-darkf...
    When I completed "Whip It!" I promised myself that I would never aim to release a MAP on a holiday ever again due to the strict deadlines and stress involved.
    I clearly lied to myself, but with great results! This is my most quickly completed MAP since my first, which also happened to be to some Heroes of Might and Magic music. Mystical qualities, perhaps?
    I have been an avid Heroes of Might and Magic player for longer than I can remember, and I've yet to complete any campaigns, yet I hold the game and its music near and dear to my heart. Before I listened to the Heroes Orchestra's cover of the Necropolis Castle's theme, I hadn't truly appreciated it as a song or as an in-game faction. The music has a sort of poetic prose to it and tells a vivid story of turmoil and hatred and eventual eternal rest.

    FINALLY a map where scourge has the dog teeth OVER his original claws like the books say he had, it being the sole reason he beat tigerclaw despite his small stature, Instead of just regular claws! Amazing map and creepy AU!
    Also not sure what's more scary, being in hell, or being completely alone is a blank white void.

    I love this MAP so much... There's nothing better than MAPs that are also character studies. I could see exactly how Tigerstar became the (non-human) person he was. He got so used to seeing potential opponents as nothing but prey - something to be hunted. And he was a good hunter too. You can feel how confused he, when his prey fought back. And won.
    Everyone did a wonderful job! This will be a MAP i revisit again and again

      YES!!! ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ON THE HUNTING THING!!!!! I love how much people committed to the preylike cats later in the MAP!! Pokefan hit it out of the park with Tigerstar's confused / surprised expression, thank you so much!

    I think Tigerclaw is more of a Dungeon player than a Necropolis player.
    Necropolis is more a Darkstripe, Sol, Darktail?, Maybe Scourge? Kind of castle.
    Although Inferno also fits.

    • @siobhannoble8545
      @siobhannoble8545 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      From the looks of it, it's basically the same plot as the first series; but instead of going to the Dark Forest, Tigerstar is reunited with his sisters in the afterlife. He reverts back to the innocent kit he was when they were alive but, since he was the only living cat who still remembered them, they fade away leaving him alone until his time comes to join them. And given how infamous his deeds have made him, he'll likely be alone for a very long time.

      @elriq9979  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Great question! That thought DID come to me while writing the script, but ultimately I decided that the story flowed better this way. If I tried to fit in Tigerstar's childhood AND his first death AND his second death, everything would end up rushed and the story would feel too cramped.
