Åsgard map packs
Our members have worked together with dedication to produce three map packs throughout the years. One of which, Åsgard Worlds II – published in 2007, keeps ranking between first and second in the weekly map stats even today!
Åsgard Worlds
Published in 2006, Åsgard Worlds contains 16 maps that challenge the players in different strategies and contexts. From maps with uneven land to perfect symmetries, this map pack requires special attention to teamwork and to the aim of the game. This map pack was a first exercise in automation and triggers, use of specific spells, and the creation of Nilfheim and Valhallah, the maps that powered the concept of Blast Wars.
Åsgard Worlds II
Published in 2007, Åsgard Worlds II has seen our members challenge the gaming experience by using triggers, land heights, totems and spell placements in synergy to create new situations. The maps require players not only to prioritise teamwork but also to use time wisely. Maps in this map pack have achieved such a level of development that especifically timed strategies have been written for players to try and follow.
Åsgard Worlds: The Beginning
Published in 2017, Åsgard Worlds: The Beginning was created in honour of the original multi player map pack. It contains the 16 original levels that have all been amended in minor or major ways to enhance playability and competitivity, converting many maps for 4 players. This map pack evidences how tweaks in a map can directly affect the strategy and pose a new challenge for players and teams.
