Taken from the The Heretic Fortress site:
| "T H F is a multiplayer mod for Heretic II that focus on teamplay. It takes place in a fantasy world and features 9 player classes, a unique leveling system, 4 mission types, 17 different player models, advanced bot support, over 40 different weapons and spells, and over 60 maps."
|
The lastest version of THF was released in 2004. Given the major advances in gaming since Heretic II's release in 1998, the THF crew tapped into a kind of gameplay that stands the test of time. A small, but dedicated community from across the world assemble to "Hold the Fortress," "Capture the Light" and "Protect King Arthur." Recently, gaming sessions have lasted a few hours on a weekend evening.
This link will take you to the Heretic II threads on Raven-games.com where you can download everything needed for THF (a 200MB package). A number of other mods and single-player games from over the years are available, too. Just ask!

MY HERETIC FORTRESS MAPS |
Jungle Bases
ctl_waterfall - released Jan 2000Don't fall in the water!
While this wasn't actually my first THF map, it's the first that made it into the later releases. Based off a single player map I made, the design unfortunately gives females an unfair advantage in protecting their base. |
|
The Underground
htf-grotto - released Jan 2000An early "Hold the Fortress" map. Average playability. |
|
Pyramids of the King
pka-pyramid - released Aug 2000Arguably my best THF map. While the design is simple, routes to the goal are neither too cramped for the attacking males nor too difficult to defend for the females. The king can travel alone or with his entourage. Orginally, this map was designed with the possibility of player-respawn, but thankfully, it also plays well when killed players remain dead for each round. |
|
Whirlpool
pka-whirlpool - released May 2003After an extended break in mapping, I converted another of my single player maps to THF (I had to scrap the SP map because of a seemingly irreversible compilation error). The map is pretty, but somewhat unsuccessful in terms of multiplayer gameplay. |
|
Mystic Tree Temple at Dusk
htf-zen - released Jun 2004A small "Hold the Fortress" map. Good for 2 on 2. |
|
Pitfalls and Ledges
htf-ledges - released Oct 2005Originally intended for Siege, this "Hold the Fortress" map has odd gameplay that feels somewhat bottlenecked at times. |
|
Ottomon Fortress
pka-desert - released Jun 2006The males must guide the king from a small rowboat outside the fort to an elevated structure in the center, by either releasing a drawbridge or jumping on the roof. |
