WK_Full Random map is here!

[HJFE]

WK Full Random Version 4.0 is released.

Special thanks to Ensemble Studios © and Forgotten Empires © for making all the Age of Empires II standard maps.

Information

WK_Full Random is designed to be a Voobly WololoKingdoms and UserPatch map. Labeled WK to inform that it is a WololoKingdoms map. There is not support for a HD version, sorry. You can play it on HD, however no map information can be shown. Unfortunately, I have no intention of making a version for HD release.

In an attempt to make Full Random popular again I give you WK_Full Random. A map where you can put your skills on test on many different settings. Some maps have been edited to make them more player friendly. Expansion Pack maps are taken from HD Version.

WK Full Random includes Standard maps from Age of Conquerors and from all HD expansions.

Requirements
Minimum requirements in order to play WK_Full Random:
- Voobly game application (Right side panel for download)
- WololoKingdoms mod for Voobly (Full Installation)
- Userpatch (UP) in your Voobly game room (v1.5).

WK_Full Random uses assets from WK and UserPatch. All of those is required for the map to run correctly.

What is Full Random?
Standard map that came with the game. Randomly picks a default map (Arabia, Oasis etc). Popular to play if you want something else. I have imported expansion pack maps from AoE2 HD version and in addition I use the old standard maps. You can play this map 1v1 - 2v2 - 3v3 - 4v4.

Features
- 44 Standard maps from Age of Conquerors, Forgotten Empires, African Kingdoms and Rise of Rajas.
- Map information in Objectives Window (ALT+O)
- Works the same way that Full Random does.
- Allied Vision version included
- Comes with a No Fire Galley version *new*
- Full Support for Regicide Mode *new*

Map information
Full random gives the players opportunity to check the name on the map. This way you can recognize which map you are playing. You can check the name on map in the Objectives Window.

Every single map is labeled in the objectives window.
Hotkey for Objectives Window is ALT+O
There is also a button tab in the top right corner (see first picture)


Standard maps from AoC will tell you their names, while expansion pack maps says !C. All expansion pack maps will display !C when you get them. Expansion pack maps are taken from HD Version.

Allied Vision
Allied vision gives you the chance to see what your team does. It is shared view with your team (free cartography from start of the game). This is very useful for less skilled players and a great way to learn maps. There is an Allied Vision version available for download.

No Fire Galley
This means you no longer can produce Fire Galley and Demo Rafts in Feudal Age. They will be blocked until you reach Castle Age. In Castle age Fire ships and Demo Rafts will automatically be available if your civilization allows it. Galley micro is back in Feudal, an alternative for those who like it.

Regicide Mode
WK_Full Random supports Regicide mode now. Regicide gives you more resources, villagers, a king and a Castle/Tower depending on map. if your king dies, you're out of the game. Protect your king.
This can be played on any WK_Full Random version.

I just tried it, thanks a lot HJFE! Very cool map pack

 

[teutonic_tanks]

gj wp!

 

[HyunaOP]

I like full random. <3 I'll host these when my wrist gets better.

 

[Nico77]

nice

 

[teutonic_tanks]

btw i noticed that you used the old, old standart maps (old saltmarsh, goldrush, not the versions WK is using :/), maybe write that somewhere, it might be confusing for players from HD. Also they differ then from the standart FR in WK.

 

[Ovenka]

Actually is good there are the old maps 11

 

[Henkdesupernerd]

Nice!

 

[Huehuecoyotl22]

That's something that has been needed for several years. Thanks a lot.
Socotra and Hamburger are the most unusual maps in this pack, right?
But it should be good for a FR tournament. Maybe one with the a bit different rule, that if you choose to restart, you can choose to go FR again instead of choosing the same map?

 

[TerminatorIV]

Thank you for the effort. I made the similiar Blind Random Complete for HD (in the Steam Workshop), but was too lazy to port it ...

Edit: Nice as well, that it show the names of the maps. I wouldn't have known how to do that.

 

[leo_169]

great job, i was missing this!!

edit: it's not possible to make this with the HD version of maps like salt marsh?

 

I will very much enjoy randoming Bog Islands Kappa

Actually is good there are the old maps 11

The new Salt Marsh is so much better though

 

[k_the_foodie]

great map-pack.

So who's up for ara 1v1 hun war ?

 

[HJFE]

Glad to see this is received well. Thank you for all the feedback I appreciate it. Makes me happy to see that there is interest among people. Have fun with the map.

Yeah, I experienced that and Rivers is missing a connection to the bonus gold islands. On Salt Marsh I should have both versions, I made it 50 / 50 % for each version. I want to wait for 1 or 2 weeks before I place an update. I will write a "things to do" list before I proceed to update. Thank you for letting me know .

You're welcome . I would say that Socotra is a more unusual map than Hamburger due to its small size and difficulties. Hamburger is looking quite nice in my opinion, looks fun. It would be delightful to include this in a future tournament. Yes, this is built like a map pack, so it's unlikely you get the same map again if you restart.

It wasn't really a question just for you, more for everyone. Because Hamburger, Socotra, Houseboat and Border Dispute are the custom maps I remember which were more often used maps titled as least standard and the original FR apart from Saltmarsh maybe is the most “standard“ map pack.

 

[Nico77]

i payed today this map and got socotra. but wasn't normal socotra 11 it was BoA_Socotra 111 i thought there was the original maps only

Some maps have been edited to make them more player friendly

I made an edit to Socotra where you can get one version with Forest and one with Water. This is one of the player friendly edits. In addition I decreased the starting stone to zero to slow down tower rush strategy. I admit I had Boa in mind when I did this. Hope this answers your question

 

[MembTV]

really great job, hopefully we can start to see more maps than arabia, BF and arena in voobly.

But i would recommend you to put in the nonsocotra 20 stone, and no stone in the map, at least u can make outpost, or you can´t even see if u are getting fwd/rushed, other than that, amazing.

 

[teutonic_tanks]

@HJFE somehow objectives isn't showing the name of the map for non-aocmaps and BF isnt revealed (there should be some possiblity with up 1.5 to make this possible). Maybe make Mangrove_jungle revealed as well, since it's pretty much as BF and all the extra res are in the forrest. Except that the mappack is damn awesome. GJ :D

New map African Arabia same version used in Battle of Africa. Includes new animals for hunting.
It says (Arabia) if you get this map.

Ghost Lake:
- Percent chance 50% for water and 50% for no water on ice lake.

Lombardia:
- Fixed min and max distance distance for boars in 1v1.

Socotra:

- Replaced (temp_min_distance_group_placement) with (min_distance_group_placement) to avoid resources spawning on top of each other.

- Replaced (temp_min_distance_group_placement) with (min_distance_group_placement) to avoid resources spawning on top of each other.

Sandbank:
- Replaced (temp_min_distance_group_placement) with (min_distance_group_placement) to avoid resources spawning on top of each other.

Hey, I was wondering if you could make Fortress be always Regicide within the script. People usually go Random Map when playing full random, and getting Fortress on non regicide feels just weird...

 

[HJFE]

New small update available. Please download map again to get update.

Changelog Version 3.0:

Fortress:
- Fortress is now Regicide fortress by default.

Thanks in advance.

Just wondering, what do you mean by onager cutting in BF. And is BF played on explored in this map pack? Personally I like WK BF (onagers cut, no upgrade needed) and would like non-explored as well but that's not as big of a deal.

This happens in general, it's not related to this mappack, but happens to the normal Highland map as well. I'm not sure if it's intended or not, but it happens
