Conquest Map Pool

Inferno

The gates have been broken and the city is burning, but the enemy must be repelled! Inferno features a main road with a central courtyard leading to an all out brawl in the middle of the map.

Ziggurat

An ancient temple that leads to an elevated king of the hill style of map where there are a trio of central objective points surrounded by spawn points on the lower ground.

Stagwood

A small village surrounded by a wooden palisade. Secure the outer spawns and take the objectives within the village to secure the map.

Siege Works

Long drawn out sieges often have dramatic conclusions. This map features a series of elevated walkways that cut across the map allowing for vertical gameplay.

Lower Kingdom

The Dwarven realms house many secrets that they will die to defend. This map features a dual lane setup that splits your attention on two fronts. Can you secure the magma bridge and the forge?

Traitor's Pass

Mountain passes are deadly to travelers even before bandits and enemy armies enter the picture. This map uses a single lane through the canyon pass and features much more heavy armor spawns to protect against the freezing weather.

Meadow

A large grassy plane, perfect for a pitched battle! Spread out and fight your enemies over the hills and across the ponds in the area.

Courtyard Clash

A straight up battle with the spawns and objectives arranged in a 3x3 grid. The original map from the early prototype of the game. The small size of the map lets you get up close and personal with your opponent.

Emperor's Grove

The private gardens of the Elven emperor are filled with latent magical energy. This compact map features a single central objective point ringed with spawn points. The objective point is magically imbued to capture and drain enemy supplies twice as quickly as on other maps.

Barrows

Barrows is a unique map where you battle over ancient graveyards as neutral ghosts wander the region attacking any who trespass on their home.
