Winter Survival

Description
Fight for your life in this winter-themed gamemode! In this custom game, you will be forced to scavenge the map of its limited resources, in order to outlive and outfight up to 9 other players.

Each player has 3 vitals that they must maintain in order to survive. These are:
- Food
- Water
- Temperature

You must be able to maintain your Food, Water, and Temperature using the materials scattered around the map. You can gather berries, drink from various water sources, and craft fireplaces to keep warm. A multitude of other craftables can be used to your advantage.

But don't be mistaken; this isn't a game about surviving on your own, this is a game about outliving other players. This means that one option you have to win is to KILL EVERYONE ELSE.

Stock up on throwable rocks to raid a player's campfire to the north. Fortify your campfire with foliage to protect yourself from enemy rocks. Craft an axe to aid you in combat. Or, just right click the enemy. But be careful, if you focus only on combat, your vitals will suffer. You will become fatigued, and you WILL die.

Combat, however, is not unavoidable. The resources of the map are limited; if you want to survive, you will also have to fight for the remaining resources. The water sources of the map are also rather limited, and an encounter with an enemy while drinking will not be uncommon. In addition, even if you stay relatively sedentary, roaming wild wolves will find you.

During the day, you are not necessarily tied to your campfire, and you are relatively free to roam around. However, when night falls, those who find themselves unable to create a fireplace are sure to die a cold, frigid death. Not to mention, the first night is the easiest, but as the days and nights become colder and colder, players need to acquire more and more resources to survive the harsh winter. If that wasn't enough, wolves maintain the upper hand during the night, leaving those without the protection of a fireplace to die.

At the beginning of the match, you may find it advantageous to strike up a truce between other players, since wolves excel at picking off lone targets. However, the game will not end until there is only one player standing.

Here are the complete rules:
- Each player has 3 stats: Food, Water, and Temperature.
- Each stat dictates your health and mana regeneration (or degeneration, if your stats are low).
- Your mana dictates your movement speed and attack speed.
- Moving drains your mana as well.
- The player can drink from a water source at any time to regain Water.
- At the start of the game, items will be distributed around the map.
- When a player cuts down a tree (using an axe), related resources will spawn. Trees will not respawn.
- When a player mines a mining area (using a pickaxe), related resources will spawn. The same area cannot be mined twice.
- If the player is playing with other players and is the last one alive, he/she will win.
- If the player is playing singleplayer, the game ends only when the player dies.
- Wolves spawn each night, and more will spawn as time progresses.
- Every time of day change, starting from the first night, all players will be given a skill point that can be used on talents.

Not enjoyable. Doesnt give me anytime to learn the game, eventhough I already know the mechanics from Dota1. I dont even know where to mine the minerals.. spent 5 mins searching yet failed.

Too hard dude. You need to care about the noobs first, its incredibly hard game for new players. You should give players like 5 minutes to get used to the mechanics.
