Taken from the old "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 last 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 assemble to "Hold the Fortress," "Capture the Light," "Get Excalibur" and "Protect King Arthur."  Gaming sessions tend to last 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 (well, minus Heretic II itself) -- a 200MB package, which includes most of my maps below (the rest are on my updates page).  A number of other H2 mods and single-player games from over the years are available, too.  Just ask!

MY HERETIC FORTRESS MAPS |
Fairbury pka-fairbury - released Nov 2009
gex-fairbury - released Apr 2010Converted from my Ogle game. |

|
Battle for Katlit'k Crest gex-crest - released Oct 2009A small map for the good ol' days' sake.  Made it in a few hours... |

|
The Parthoris Keep htf-spiral - released Jan 2009A small map featuring a double-spiral staircase. |

|
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. |

|
Pitfalls and Ledges htf-ledges - released Oct 2005Originally intended for Siege (a different H2 mod), this "Hold the Fortress" map has odd gameplay that feels somewhat bottlenecked at times. |

|
Mystic Tree Temple at Dusk htf-zen - released Jun 2004A small "Hold the Fortress" map.  Good for 2 on 2. |

|
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. |

|
Pyramids of the King pka-pyramid - released Aug 2000Arguably my best THF map.  Orginally, it was designed with the possibility of player-respawn (in the older versions of THF), but thankfully, it also plays well when killed players remain dead for each round. |

|
The Underground htf-grotto - released Jan 2000An early "Hold the Fortress" map.  Average playability. |

|
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. |
