This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
In a land of countless perils and infinite opportunities you begin your journey. A world where the Church wars the Northern Pagans, where trade flourishes throughout the lands, a world where crafts and trades fill the days and wolves control the night.
Basics and Tips
- You can only sell items at the Town Market.
- You can revive your hero at the Farm House or the Town Tower.
- Mana will be reffered to as Inspiration.
- Heroes can only gain Inspiration from "Companionship", in other words from being around other characters.
- You can buy coins from the Merchant's Guild which can be sold for the same price. (Stops you from losing money)

JobsJobs
Hunting
Get money from hunting around the land, and selling the hides at local town markets.
To begin hunting you will first need a Hunter Equipment, whick can be bought from one of the two guilds found in north-west. (To ping these type -hunting)
Hunting can be the fastest way to get money earlier in the game if used properly. The hunting system is simple: if you kill a wild animal (rabbit, wolf, deer etc.) while you wear the Hunting Gear, the killed animal will drop hides or furs which can be sold.
Hunting Bands are formed by players in the early game, which is simply a group of heroes hunting together. This way they will all gain inspiration from companionship and will be able to use Heroic Might ability.
Fishing
Get money from fishing from various fishing spots along the coasts and rivers, and selling the fish at the local town markets.
To begin fishing you need to travel to one of the Fisherman's Mills (to ping these type -fishing), and buy fishing equipment as well as a fishing manual wich will ping the locations of the most fishing spots.
Fishing is a very useful form of income; it is one of the few forms of income that isn't affected by the numbers of people doing it.
To fish you need to use the Fishing Equipment on one of the fishing spots found around the map.
Farming
Get money by buying seeds, planting them and then simply watch them grow.
To begin farming just buy seeds from the Farmer's Guild, plant them somewhere safe and return when they are fully grown to harvest them, and sell the item at the market.
Later you will be able to buy better seeds; to do this you will need to build a Seed House.
Notes: - Plants DO NOT grow in the snowy area.
- Animals will attack your plants.
Gathering
Get money by finding herbs and either selling them at face value or using them for medical or alchemical process.
To begin gathering you will need a Gathering Equipment from a Hunter's Guild (Ping these with -gathering), then you simply need to use the equipment anywhere around the nort, and wait while the user looks around to find herbs. After some time herbs will be found, or not, so you need to look again.
Note: - When the Gathering Equipment is used it will take some time to find herbs.
- Gathering Equpment can only be used by your hero or your wife.
Alchemy
Get money by making potions using herbs and others items found in the north. Alchemy may not be the best income resource at first, but it will be useful. To begin alchemy you will need a Cauldron which can be bought from a Hunter's Guild. You will then need to obtain herbs to extract their properties. (This can be obtained through Gathering)
Founders of the North has a unique alchemy system that uses the properties of certain items rather than the items themselves.
Basics: - All herbs have properties which can be extracted with the Cauldron.
- These properties will then be added to your "Pool".
- The properties in your Pool can be used along with Potion Vials to make various potions.
- Currently you can obtain vials from Caravans and Leonardo the Thinker.
Herding
Get money by raising sheeps and pigs, and later kill them for profit.
To begin herding you will need to build a Barn, and this cannot be done at the very start of the game. Once you build a Barn you can begin training pigs and sheeps which will gain MP or "get fatter". When these sheeps or pigs are killed the owner of the killed unit will gain gold equal to MP of the unit.
Note: - Other players and wolves can kill your animals and you'll lose your profit, so keep them in a safe place.
- DO NOT kill them when they are less than 200 MP because you paid 100g to train them, so it would be a lose of money.
Merchantry
The concept of trade is simple: each good is sold at different values on the three towns. This way you get gold on the diference of price; however the price of all goods will increase when the supply of that good will decrease in that town.
Market Repot: Buying this item will display the current prices of all goods in the town. This item can be found in each of the Town Markets. (to ping these type -market)
Later Jobs
Banditry
Bandit play involves hiding from patrols and running from town guards. Chase town defenseless travellers and trade caravans to make a living. You will become a bandit when you die and have no means of reviving yourself. (this is when you have no Farm House or a Town Tower)
It is not possible to become a bandit before grace period ends.
Tips: - Use the Sneak skill to slip in and out of towns when you need to buy items, or find companionship at the Tavern.
- You will be able to sell items at your Hide-Out.
- Buying a torch will help you out at night. (be careful with the Hide ability)
- You can revive at the Hide-Out.
As you get money and infamy you will be able to build a Bandit Camp, where you can hire others to work under your command and begin a path to become the bandit lord of the north.
Other Jobs
Production Chains
Some items can be used by buildings to make more valuable items, which can be sold for more money. This are the production chains.
E.g.: - Fish can be used with Fireplace to make Meat which can be sold for more money, if it's sold to the right market.
- Wheat and Corn can be used to make Flour at Windmill, which can be used after to make Bread at a Bakery.
Most buildings built by the Engineer are Tier 4, which are buildings that work to make more valuable items from less ones.
Mining
There are three types of raw materials that you can mine, but you can have only one mine; this means you will have to choose which material you want to prospect.
Iron: Iron can be used to make weapons for your units; this is the most common type of material.
Silver: Silver can be used to make goods to sell, and can also be used to make the best weapons if you have Iron Ore as well.
Sulfur: Sulfur is used to make a very valuable good to sell, as well as other valuable items. It is the rarest material.
Screenshots
EventsNightfall
The importance of day and night has been greatly stressed in this map, as many aspects of the game will change during the night:
- During the night all units will experience reduced movement speeds.
- There is a massive decrease of the line of sight during night.
- All wolves will begin hunting at night and will call for their pack if they attack you.
- There are some places that can be entered only at night.
Siege
It's stupid to think that you will be able to crush a powerful enemy town with just one attack; this is almost impossible. To destroy a town you will need to "Siege" it; this is where you stop your enemy from leaving their town by building your own defences around it as you first attack.
Awakenings
Awakenings are when a boss is spawned on the map by a player who has an item called "Special: Dark Age Literature", which can be earned by answering the Fun Quizz correctly. Each of the spawned bosses will drop an Artifact, an item of great power. To perform an Awakening you must seek out "Talia The Collector" a wandering NPC who will be able to spawn bosses if you hold the Dark Age Literature.
Calamity
Calamities are terrible events called on using Special: Dark Age Literature, which can be obtained by answering the Fun Quizz correctly.
Calamities may be difficult to deal with but those who are willing to deal with them will be rewarded with special items; some calamities have a boss that must be killed to end them, others are not so simple. It is difficult to deal with these on your own, so you may need help from others in order to survive.
Some items obtained trough Calamities:
- Heart of Darkness
- Plague Essence
Unsealing
Unsealing is an ancient art of the north; it has the ability to release the true power of an object.
Unsealing can be used to release the true form of an artifact. An unsealed artifact does not drop when the wielder dies, as it is bound to their soul and spirit.
Unsealing Artifact Blades: To unseal artifact blades you will need the Spirit of the North artifact obtained from the Great Owl Spirit Famriel. Simply bringing the two items together will release their true power. Blood Vengeance is unsealed with Heart of Darkness.
Renaming
To change your name type: -name [Desired name]
Companions
Companions reffers to the potential partners in the game, including:
- The Apprentice Merchant
- The Wolf Spirit
- The Sheperdess
- The Alchemist
To choose a partner you will need to find them around the map and use the "Ceremonial Ring" item ability on them. After doing so you will be teleported to the Northern Shire or the Great Church. Having obtained a partner you will now have access to more skills as well as their "Companionship". (To ping the locations of the companions type -companions or -wife)
Caravans and Travellers
Caravans and travellers are some of the many people that wonder the great north.
Caravans: Sell various useful items. Each caravans route sells a different special item; these can be very useful in turning the tide of a battle.
Travellers: Both travellers and caravans are converse targets to try and get a rare item or two. But mostly they are there to act as a feed to Bandit players.

Haha, good thing too, Domasi.
MR.Tricky, 1) That's supposed to happen, boss drops are on a percentage table. Usually you don't get spirits, though. 2) THAT'S a bug. Why don't you head over to the official forums and tell Sifon?

As far as I'm aware, the bots still "work" in the North, they just don't attack/visit the most northern parts as much.

Well everything it is it can be maybe fixed, no need to talk much about bugs.

No, it's not a "bug", because as far as I'm getting from Sifon's post, it was actually intentional. Hence, not a bug.

This is by far the best custom map I've ever played solo (single player). I can't wait to play this with my brothers, then I can see how good the game is in multiplayer.
The goods:
Unique enough: Although not the first of the genre, it is unique enough to set it apart from the rest.
Huge: Enough space for many players, lots of place to explore.
Creative: Many custom made buildings. Unique economic system, combat system, hero abilities, and definitely unique gameplay.
The bad:
Annoying repititive task.
Terrain is not bad, but can be improved.
Summary: I enjoyed it very much, and hope that this map will be constantly improved.
5/5

Tech up to get an engineer, and then have him build a mine near a mineral deposit. The closer the better.

1) Kill all players, including both their hero and any buildings that can revive their hero (town tower, and all previous versions of it)
2) Try some dungeons... Maybe a couple of bosses? Or take out the other players?
3) Did you kill his town tower/etc?
4) That's a secret

To use Pearling boats use their ability on a Pearl Reefs for the fishing boats use their ability on fishing spots within a lake, not in open water.
When last I checked these aren’t bugged.
Sorry about the delay on the next version, the Mac issue has been a lot of work.

Are you going to add female founders? That would make the game a little more interesting, you know...

On the official forums you will see that there has been much talk about female founders, and yes they are being added. Currently people are working on models for the mounted and dismounted female founder.
Obviously a female founder would mean new male companions, and yes they have been planned too ^^

Nice. But female founders will be able to marry male founders, like player marrying with other player, right?

1 - Yeah, you can buy a potion from a temple in the East to cure the plague on whoever is using it, as well as whatever they're using it on. They're not too cheap, though.
2 - Be sure you use pearling boats on pearl reefs, and fishing boats on freshwater (lakes/ponds/streams) fishing spots.
3 - Join up on the forums and suggest it!

Well, the plague cure is only cure now, but it's planed to immplement a more effective cure for plague, but for that you'll have to collect those things falling from plagued units... seriously, when will the ultimate cure be added to the game?

Hey, was wondering about in which wc3 folder u put the map? I tried it in every folder, but doesn't seem to recieve the map. Also extracted it to other folders, but doesn't work either. Any ideas what to do? Love this map so really wanna play it, just that nobody hosts this version ( at least not on Garena ). If its just my computer its something wrong with, then I would really appreciate if 1 of you that uses Garena lets me download the map from u. =)
Sincerely, Mirasha

It's pretty self-explanatory (although I do not use Garena, I expect the maps' locations to be the same). You put all wc3 maps in the map sub-directory. The folder is distinctly named "Maps". Any maps inside that folder should be read by Warcraft III. For instance (in Windows XP), the file path could be: "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Maps".
If your Warcraft III is not reading the map, then I must ask if your Warcraft III is up to date with patches. If so, then it is probably due to the fact that the map's file path may be too long for Warcraft III to read. Once the file path exceeds a certain amount of characters, the map does not display in the Warcraft III map list in-game. Try shortening the file path by either placing it directly in the "Maps" folder AND/OR shortening the name of the map file.
Ex.1: Change "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Maps\LolReallyLongFolderName\OMGAnotherFolder\Founders of the North 1.15.w3x" to "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Maps\Founders of the North 1.15.w3x" by moving the map directly to the primary "Maps" folder.
Ex.2: Change the file name of the map so that it is shorter. "Founders of the North 1.15.w3x" could be renamed as "FotN1.15.w3x".
You can do both. However, if you believe that it's a Garena problem, then I suggest you contact Garena support.

I would love to play this map, but I almost never see it hosted. I've just taken a look at it single player. It'd be awesome if you set up a bot to host this. If you know a good time/place I could go to play this, that would be cool too.

I had signed up on the fotn site before they had a forum. Unfortunately the whole thing seems bugged, it won't take my password and when I get an email reminder sent I don't recieve the email either.
Hope this doesn't mean I lose out on special features.
Also theres a game up on MMH on north and east check http://makemehost.com/baq-fullsize
