The Amber City

Description
Description:
Another time lock malfuction, huh? Someone really ought to get these things checked out. We have arrived just outside the gates of the Amber city. Legends tell of the lost city of Amber, buried deep under the the earth after frequent sandstorms ravaged the area for years.

The city has recently been wiped out by Mental's forces. Make your way through the city, and eliminate any hostiles before they are able to fully fortify the place.

Lets hope it's easier than last time.

Info:
Enemies SP: Easy: 2455 / Medium: 2485 / Hard: 2620 / Serious: 2871
Enemies Co-op: Easy: 2476 / Medium: 2516 / Hard: 2666 / Serious: 2926
Secrets: 17
Estimated Time to Beat: 2 hours
Playable in singleplayer and co-op.
Includes NETRISCA messages

Vanilla-style gameplay mixed with some resource pack enemies and weapons, which have been rebalanced to fit better with the gameplay I had in mind (these changes do not affect the original resource pack items). Lots of corridor and open area shooting with the occasional big arena battle.

The fights are intended to be noticably more difficult than the base game. All of the fights have been tested on Serious difficulty and can be completed with consistency. A Serious difficulty zero death playthrough is certainly possible but is not something I believe many will be able to do.

Feedback and constructive criticism appreciated. Leave a comment if you run into issues.

P.S. for no reason in particular, I will mention that this map does not contain any 1 health pills in strangely out of reach locations.

long enough that I don't remember exactly how long it took so I'll just say a fair few months in total from start to finish lmao.

Hope you both had a good experience playing through it. I've been working on another map, so with enough luck that will be on the workshop at... some point in the undetermined future (poor time management skills moment).

It's obvious that I play 2500 enemies map just to solve stupid and muzic puzzle. Always wanted to do so with fps drops and not understanding what to do.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I spent a lot of time making sure all the fights were *just* right so I'm very happy to see that it paid off in the end.

Just finished the map on Serious difficulty. Holy shit, what an adventure! Really well-designed map with interesting encounters!
I honestly thought the sandstorm was a good idea. Having to rush and kill enemies at the same time can get your heart pumping. I never thought it was unfair since you have plenty of firepower to quickly dispatch the enemies in front you.

I haven't finished the map yet, but I'm not having the same issues as sorin.flamura. I died a few times in the beginning, yes, but it wasn't because of the map's balance, it was because of my own mistakes. You do get enough resources to deal with the enemy encounters, you just have to prioritize weapon picks, which enemies to kill first and where to position yourself on the battlefield.
The new revolver is powerful enough and a good replacement for the two vanilla ones.

Sorry about that. I can't seem to recreate the crash on my end. Some things you could try are Verify the integrity of your game files, unsubscribing and resubscribing to the mods, and turning off any other mods that aren't a requirement. Without seeing the error messages/log files, however, I have no idea why picking up the key would cause an immediate crash.

crash immediately after picking up the first key (ankh).
