Many of the maps used on The Gazebo are created by members of the community, and we are happy to accept submissions for new maps. However, creating a DvZ map can be a big undertaking, so before you get started please read this page carefully. This page sets out the main requirements for DvZ maps on The Gazebo, as well as important information you will need to be aware of while building. If you've not played our version of the game yet, we'd recommend playing a few games first so you can get a better feel for it.

Mechanics

Skeletons are given three items, the first being the Bone Tooth Bow:

  • With a left click, the Skeleton will start a cast time to create 8 Bone Arrows in their inventory.
  • With a right click, it will fire an arrow, the more a Skeleton hold right click, the further an arrow will go, however regardless of how much the bow is pulled back the arrow will have the same damage.

The ammo for the Bone Tooth Bow are Bone Arrows:

  • Skeletons spawn with a few of these initially, though more can be obtained by left clicking their Bone Tooth Bow or upgrading the initial amount they start with.

The final item Skeletons spawn with is the Healing Tonic:

  • Drinking this will give the Skeleton Regeneration.

Monster Role

Dwarven Strategy

  • Hallways should be a reasonable size for both dwarves to build in and defend, and for monsters to get past the dwarves.
  • Use Hidden Valley hallways as a baseline - if yours are significantly larger in width or height you need to make them smaller. If your hallways are smaller than Hidden Valley's, make sure there are plenty of other options for monsters to take to reach the shrine.
