== Overview ==
−
'''Fort Rox''' is a location in the [[Varmint Valley]] region requiring a minimum rank of [[Baron|Baron or Baroness]] to enter. It also requires the purchase of the [[Fort Rox Battle Summons]] from the [[Claw Shot City Cartographer]].
+
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a hunting location in [[Varmint Valley]] region.
−
 
 
−
===Hunting During the Day===
 
−
During the '''Day''' Hunters will encounter mice that are primarily weak to [[Law]] weapons and attracted to [[Standard Cheese]] and {{SB}}.  These mice drop [[Meteorite Piece]]s used for building the '''Basic Wall''' and for repairing any damage to the Wall done during the '''Night'''.  Hunters can make upgrades to their Fort during the '''Day''' using materials gathered during the '''Night'''. 
 
−
 
 
−
===Hunting at Night===
 
−
Hunters must build a '''Basic Wall''' before they can defended the Fort by hunting during the '''Night'''.  Mice found during the '''Night''' are weak only to [[Arcane]] and [[Shadow]] weapons and have a preference for [[Crescent Cheese]] or [[Moon Cheese]], though [[Standard Cheese]] and {{SB}} may be used to lesser effect.
 
  
−
The '''Night''' is divided into 6 phases: Twilight, Midnight, Pitch, Utter Darkness, First Light, and Dawn.  The goal for Hunters is to survive the first 5 stages of '''Night''' and reach '''Dawn''', where the [[Monster of the Meteor]] may be encountered. Mice encountered at '''Night''' will damage the Hunter's Wall and when its Health reaches 0, the Hunter will be moved back to '''Day'''.
+
It requires the minimum [[Rank]] of [[Baron|Baron/Baroness]] and the [[Fort Rox Battle Summons]] to access.
  
−
Materials found during the '''Night''' may be used during the '''Day''' to upgrade the defensive features of the Hunter's Fort.
+
There are 5 [[#Fort|defensive features]] in this area:
 +
*The [[#Wall|Wall]] determines the Hunter's survivability during [[#Night|Night]] and [[#Dawn|Dawn]].
 +
*The [[#Ballista|Ballista]] improves the catch rate against [[Weremice]] and [[Nightmancer]].
 +
*The [[#Cannon|Cannon]] improves the catch rate against [[Cosmic Critter]] and [[Nightfire]].
 +
*The [[#Moat|Moat]] reduces damage to the '''Wall'''.
 +
*The [[#Mage Tower|Mage Tower]] provides various effects to hunting and progressing in this area.
  
−
===Hunting in the Heart of the Meteor===
+
There are 4 [[#Phases|phases]] in this area:
−
Hunters must acquire the [[Fort Rox Portal Projector]] and enter the '''Dawn''' phase of '''Night''' to be able to access the '''Heart of the Meteor'''.
+
*During [[#Day|Day]], the Hunter can collect [[Meteorite Piece]], repair [[#Wall|Wall]] and upgrade [[#Fort|Fort]].
 +
*During [[#Night|Night]], the Hunter can collect [[Howlite]] and [[Bloodstone]] to upgrade '''Fort''' when return to '''Day'''.
 +
*During [[#Dawn|Dawn]], the Hunter can collect [[Dawn Dust]] to purchase [[Map Piece]] for the next area as well as to access a [[#Heart of the Meteor|harder challenge]] in '''{{PAGENAME}}'''.
 +
*During [[#Heart of the Meteor|Heart of the Meteor]], the Hunter can hunt for [[Meteoric Core Fragments]], which is required to purchase a new [[Law]] weapon in the [[#Trapsmith|Trapsmith]].
  
−
[[Sunrise Cheese]] is required to attract the [[Heart of the Meteor]] mouse, the only resident of the '''Heart of the Meteor'''.  
+
== Gameplay Mechanics ==
 +
=== Fort ===
 +
The '''Fort''' represents the Hunter's various defensive features.
  
−
Entering the '''Heart of the Meteor''' consumes the [[Fort Rox Portal Projector]] and capturing the [[Heart of the Meteor]] mouse returns Hunters to the '''Dawn''' phase of '''Night'''.
+
Each of the defensive features can be upgraded to provide greater benefits and effects. Upgrades for the individual defensive features must be made in order. Upgrades may only be made during the [[#Day|Day]].
  
−
==HUD==
+
The effects of each upgrade combine with those of previous upgrades, except for the [[#Wall|Wall]] and [[#Moat|Moat]].
−
The HUD shows the Hunter's Fort and the various defensive features. When Hunters first enter [[Fort Rox]] the various defensive features are shown as dotted outlines which are replaced with images of the features as they are built and upgraded.
 
  
−
Defensive features can only be upgraded during the '''Day'''.  The Upgrade interface may be opened by clicking on a defensive feature or by clicking on the '''Upgrade''' button found at the bottom center of the HUD.
+
==== Wall ====
−
 
 
−
The HUD tracks the following items:
 
−
*The Mage Tower's status and available [[Tower Mana]]
 
−
*Inventory of [[Meteorite Piece]]s, [[Howlite]], and [[Bloodstone]]
 
−
*Available Upgrades -- The Upgrade Button is highlighted when upgrades are available
 
−
*Inventory of [[Gouda]], {{SB}}, [[Crescent]] and [[Moon]] cheeses.  Hunters can arm cheeses through the mouseover
 
−
 
 
−
Selecting '''Defend Fort''' will allow Hunters to enter the '''Night'''. During '''Night''', the current phase of the night and the number of hunts remaining until '''Dawn''' are shown at the top of the HUD.. When '''Dawn''' is reached, the anger level of the mice and the damage modifier are shown at the top of the HUD.
 
−
 
 
−
Hunters can choose to retreat while hunting at night and any remaining wall health will be preserved.  The option to retreat is not available during '''Dawn'''.
 
−
 
 
−
==Upgrading the Fort==
 
−
Using the HUD, Hunters are able to open the Upgrade interface and construct five different defensive features to help them defeat the mice found during the '''Night'''.  The upgrade interface tracks the Hunter's inventory of [[Meteorite Piece]]s, [[Howlite]], [[Bloodstone]], [[Tower Mana]], and [[Dawn Dust]].
 
−
 
 
−
Each of the defensive features can be upgraded to provide greater benefits and effects. '''Upgrades for the individual defensive features must be made in order.'''
 
−
 
 
−
The effects of each upgrade combine with those of previous upgrades, except for the '''Wall''' and '''Moat'''.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Example: ''' It is not necessary to complete any Wall upgrades to make a Moat upgrade, but it is necessary to make the Small Moat upgrade before the Big Moat upgrade can be made.
 
−
 
 
−
Fort defensive features (except the Mage Tower) have no effect during the '''Day'''. 
 
−
 
 
−
Upgrades may only be made during the '''Day'''.

 +
==== Day ====
 +
This is the starting phase in '''{{PAGENAME}}'''. The Hunter can return to this phase from [[#Night|Night]] and [[#Dawn|Dawn]] when certain conditions are met.
 +
 
 +
The [[#Fort|Fort]] can be upgraded only during '''Day'''.
 +
 
 +
The [[#Wall|Wall]] can be repaired only during '''Day'''. Each [[Meteorite Piece]] repairs one damage to the Wall. Unless the quantity of [[Meteorite Piece]]s is insufficient to fully repair a Wall, it is not possible to partially repair a wall.
  
−
Mice found during '''Night''' are weak only to [[Arcane]] and [[Shadow]] weapons. [[Crescent Cheese]] and [[Moon Cheese]] are preferred by mice at '''Night''', but [[Standard Cheese]] and {{SB}} will also attract desirable nightmice at a lower rate. Mice found during the '''Night''' drop [[Meteorite Piece]]s, [[Tower Mana]], [[Howlite]], [[Bloodstone]], and [[Dawn Dust]]. These items are primarily used to upgrade the Hunter's Fort defenses. The Hunter's Fort defenses can only be upgraded during the '''Day'''.  
+
Hunting during '''Day''' does not affect the '''Wall''' health.
  
−
To hunt during the '''Night''', select '''Defend Fort''' at the upper left of the HUD which will open the following pop-up:
+
The [[#Mage Tower|Mage Tower]] can be activated, but the '''Healing Enchantment''' and '''Sunsphere Enchantment''' have no effect during '''Day'''.
−
:'''"Are you prepared to defend your fort?"'''
 
−
:"Once night falls, an unending horde of terrors will descend."
 
−
:"Defend your fort and survive as long as you can!"
 
−
:"Spend [X] Meteorite Piece(s) to repair to full health?"
 
−
::This message is shown only when a Hunter attempts to enter night with a damaged wall.  Checking the box in front of this message will spend the [[Meteorite Piece]]s necessary to bring the wall to full health.
 
−
:"I need more time"
 
−
::or
 
−
:"I'm ready to defend!"
 
  
−
===Phases of the Night===
+
The Hunter can choose to enter [[#Night|Night]] from this phase.
−
Hunters defend their Fort by hunting during the night and reaching '''Dawn'''.  As hunters progress through the night, their wall will take damage.  When the wall's health is reduced to zero, Hunters will be moved back to '''Day'''. The goal is to reach '''Dawn''' with enough wall health left to successfully hunt the '''Dawn Destroyers'''.
 
  
−
Each phase of the night has a specific length and every hunt made will cause the Hunter to progress toward '''Dawn'''.  The total length of the 5 phases of '''Night''' is 130 hunts. Failing to capture a [[Nightmancer Mouse]] will extend the length of the night by 3 hunts. An active '''Mage Tower''' with the '''Sunsphere Enchantment''' will reduce the hunts until Dawn by 2 after every hunt.
+
==== Night ====
 +
The Hunter can enter this phase by choosing to '''Defend Fort''' from [[#Day|Day]] phase.
  
−
The phases, in order, are:
+
The '''Night''' can be divided into 5 smaller parts, each with a specific length measured in '''hunt'''. The total length of the parts is 130 hunts. Failing to catch a [[Nightmancer Mouse]] will extend the length of '''Night''' by 3 hunts. An active [[#Mage Tower|Mage Tower]] with the '''Sunsphere Enchantment''' will reduce the hunts until the end of '''Night''' by 2 after every hunt.

*'''Dawn''' - No set length.
+
During '''Night''', the [[#Wall|Wall]] can receive damage under certain circumstances:
−
:Hunters may hunt here until their wall is reduced to zero health.
+
*Failure to Catch without mouse pillage (FTC) = 3 damage
−
:The [[Dawn Guardian]] and [[Monster of the Meteor]] are found here
+
*Failure to Catch with mouse pillage (Red box FTC) = 5 damage
−
:[[Arcane]] weapons are recommended
+
*Failure to Attract (FTA) = 5 damage
−
:The [[Battering Ram Mouse]] will be encountered here when hunting with [[Standard Cheese]] or {{SB}}
+
*Failure to catch [[Nightfire Mouse]] = 10 damage
 +
*Encountering [[Battering Ram Mouse]] = 15 damage
  
−
*'''Heart of the Meteor''' - No set length.
+
The damage can be reduced by [[#Moat|Moat]].
−
:Hunters must enter Dawn and posses a [[Fort Rox Portal Projector]] to enter this phase.
 
−
:The [[Heart of the Meteor]] is the only mouse found in this phase.
 
−
:[[Sunrise Cheese]] is required to attract the [[Heart of the Meteor]] mouse.

−
:Capturing the [[Heart of the Meteor]] will return the Hunter to the '''Dawn''' phase.
 
−
:Fort defenses have no effect and [[Tower Mana]] cannot be armed. Wall health is not affected in this phase.
 
  
−
===Wall Health and Damage===
+
The Hunter can choose to '''Retreat''' to [[#Day|Day]] from this phase.
−
The '''Basic Wall''' is required before Hunters may defend the Fort at night. When the Wall is reduced to zero health, Hunters will be moved back to '''Day''' and the Wall will need to be repaired using [[Meteorite Piece]]s before Hunters can hunt during the '''Night''' again. Each [[Meteorite Piece]] repairs one damage to the Wall.
 
  
−
====Wall Health====
+
The Hunter will be transfered to [[#Day|Day]] if the [[#Wall|Wall]] health drops to 0.
−
The Wall's health determines how long Hunters will be able to survive during the night. Each [[Meteorite Piece]] repairs one damage to the Wall. Unless the quantity of [[Meteorite Piece]]s is insufficient to fully repair a Wall, it is not possible to partially repair a wall. However, Hunters may enter night with a partially damaged wall that is not at full health.
 
−
*'''Basic Wall''' - Maximum Health:  '''50'''
 
−
*'''Howlite Wall''' - Maximum Health:  '''100'''
 
−
*'''Blood Bastion''' - Maximum Health:  '''200'''
 
−
*'''Moonbeam Fortress''' - Maximum Health:  '''350'''
 
  
−
====Wall Damage====
+
The Hunter will be transfered to [[#Dawn|Dawn]] if they progress though all sub-phases with their '''Wall''' not completely broken.
−
Mice encountered during the '''Night''' will damage the Hunter's Wall under certain circumstances.  
 
  
−
*Failure to Catch (FTC) = 3 damage
+
==== Dawn ====
−
*Red Box FTC = 5 damage
+
The Hunter can enter this phase by progressing through the [[#Night|Night]].
−
*Failure to Attract (FTA) = 5 damage
 
−
*[[Nightfire Mouse]], FTC = 10 damage
 
−
*[[Battering Ram Mouse]], any encounter = 15 damage
 
  
−
====Wall Damage -- Dawn====
+
A '''Damage Multiplier''' is in effect during this phase. Each catch of the [[Monster of the Meteor]] will increase the '''multiplier''' by an additional 100%. Damage from encountering [[Battering Ram Mouse]] is not multiplied.<br>
−
When Hunters reach '''Dawn''' each catch of a [[Monster of the Meteor]] will multiply the damage effects to the wall  by an additional 100%. Any FTC of a [[Monster of the Meteor]] or [[Dawn Guardian]] will result in greater damage to the Hunter's wall.  Damage from encountering a [[Battering Ram Mouse]] is not multiplied.
+
The damage can be reduced by [[#Moat|Moat]], but the reduction applies after the '''multiplier'''.
  
−
[[Shielding Charm]]s can be used to prevent mice from stealing gold, points, or cheese and causing a red box FTC. The amount of damage this prevents can be significant when the damage multiplier is high.
+
Every FTA deals 5 Damage to your wall.

To access the '''Heart of the Meteor''', Hunters must acquire 100 [[Dawn Dust]], 1 [[Fort Rox Portal Core]], and 1 [[Fort Rox Portal Console]] in order to purchase the [[Fort Rox Portal Projector]]. The [[Fort Rox Portal Projector]] will allow Hunters to enter the '''Heart of the Meteor''' during the '''Dawn''' phase of '''Night'''.  It is consumed in the process, replaced with a [[Ruined Portal Projector]] collectible.
+
All mice here are attracted to [[Standard Cheese]]. [[Battering Ram Mouse]] is not attacted to [[Crescent Cheese]] and [[Moon Cheese]].

−
The [[Heart of the Meteor]] mouse's power will be depleted with each attraction, to the point where it is a guaranteed catch on the 10th attraction. Capturing the [[Heart of the Meteor]] will return Hunters to the '''Dawn''' phase of '''Night'''.

Phases

Day

This is the starting phase in Fort Rox. The Hunter can return to this phase from Night and Dawn when certain conditions are met.

The Fort can be upgraded only during Day.

The Wall can be repaired only during Day. Each Meteorite Piece repairs one damage to the Wall. Unless the quantity of Meteorite Pieces is insufficient to fully repair a Wall, it is not possible to partially repair a wall.

Hunting during Day does not affect the Wall health.

The Mage Tower can be activated, but the Healing Enchantment and Sunsphere Enchantment have no effect during Day.

The Hunter can choose to enter Night from this phase.

Night

The Hunter can enter this phase by choosing to Defend Fort from Day phase.

The Night can be divided into 5 smaller parts, each with a specific length measured in hunt. The total length of the parts is 130 hunts. Failing to catch a Nightmancer Mouse will extend the length of Night by 3 hunts. An active Mage Tower with the Sunsphere Enchantment will reduce the hunts until the end of Night by 2 after every hunt.

The sub-phases, in order, are:

  • Twilight - 35 hunt long
Weremice are abundant
Shadow traps are recommended
  • Midnight - 25 hunt long
Weremice are still the most abundant mice, but Cosmic Critter begin to appear
Shadow traps are still recommended
  • Pitch - 10 hunt long
Weremice and Cosmic Critter are found in equal measure
Arcane and Shadow traps are both effective
  • Utter Darkness - 25 hunt long
Cosmic Critter are now the most abundant mice, but Weremice may still appear
Arcane traps are recommended
  • First Light - 35 hunt long
Cosmic Critter are abundant
Arcane traps are recommended

During Night, the Wall can receive damage under certain circumstances:

  • Failure to Catch without mouse pillage (FTC) = 3 damage
  • Failure to Catch with mouse pillage (Red box FTC) = 5 damage
  • Failure to Attract (FTA) = 5 damage
  • Failure to catch Nightfire Mouse = 10 damage
  • Encountering Battering Ram Mouse = 15 damage

The damage can be reduced by Moat.

The Hunter can choose to Retreat to Day from this phase.

The Hunter will be transfered to Day if the Wall health drops to 0.

The Hunter will be transfered to Dawn if they progress though all sub-phases with their Wall not completely broken.

Dawn

The Hunter can enter this phase by progressing through the Night.

A Damage Multiplier is in effect during this phase. Each catch of the Monster of the Meteor will increase the multiplier by an additional 100%. Damage from encountering Battering Ram Mouse is not multiplied.
The damage can be reduced by Moat, but the reduction applies after the multiplier.

Every FTA deals 5 Damage to your wall.

Catch Anger Level Damage Multiplier FTC Damage Red Box FTC Damage
0 Irritated 100% 3 5
1 Annoyed 200% 6 10
2 Vexed 300% 9 15
3 Irate 400% 12 20
4 Cross 500% 15 25
5 Angry 600% 18 30
6 Maddened 700% 21 35
7 Ranting 800% 24 40
8 Raving 900% 27 45
9 Raging 1,000% 30 50
10 Fuming 1,100% 33 55
11 Livid 1,200% 36 60
12 Infuriated 1,300% 39 65
13 Seething 1,400% 42 70
14 Frenzied 1,500% 45 75
15 Cheesed Off 1,600% 48 80
16-49 Cheesed Off Damage multiplier continues to increase by 100%
with each Monster of the Meteor catch
and damage increases accordingly
50-98 totally cheesed off and really annoyed that you would come here and do this and it is absolutely so horrible that you would be so callous and mean and they just hate you so much and will forever remember this moment in time where you offended them so greatly!
99+ reaching powers of OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Hunter will be transfered to Day if the Wall health drops to 0.

The Hunter can choose to enter Heart of the Meteor from this phase. Doing so will consume a Fort Rox Portal Projector and add a Ruined Portal Projector to the inventory.

Heart of the Meteor

The Hunter can enter this phase from Dawn.

The Hunter's Fort defenses have no effect in this phase. Tower Mana cannot be armed while hunting in this phase.

The Heart of the Meteor's power will be depleted with each attraction, to the point where it is a guaranteed catch on the 10th attraction.

The Hunter can choose to Retreat to Dawn from this phase.

The Hunter will be transfered to Dawn upon catching a Heart of the Meteor.

The center of the HUD is a bar that shows the current Power of the Heart of the Meteor which decreases with each attraction of the mouse: when the bar is depleted, the Heart of the Meteor is a guaranteed catch.

There is also a tracker which shows the Hunter's stock of Sunrise cheese and a button for arming/disarming it.

Hunters have the option to retreat to Dawn from the Heart of the Meteor, with the following confirmation message in the HUD:

Are you sure you want to abandon the Heart of the Meteor?
You will need another Fort Rox Portal Projecter to return.

Click Retreat to return to Dawn

Hunting Strategy

Hunting Tips by Larry

Hello there, hunter!

Welcome to Fort Rox, recently under siege thanks to the commotion caused by the fallen meteor, the citizens here need your help to fight off the mice that have begun to overrun the area.

During the day, things are a lot calmer and the mice will listen to reason, making them vulnerable to Law traps. You will also be able to use this time to build up your resources and defenses in preparation for the attack. You will need to build the Basic Wall before you will be ready to defend your fort.

The day might feel like a walk in the park, however, don't get too comfortable. At night, things start to get a little... "hairier"...

You are gonna have to do your best to hold off the assault on Varmint Valley throughout the night. The night lasts 130 hunts. As you hunt through the night, different types of mice will begin to appear. Make sure you pay attention to the time of night and adjust your trap setup accordingly.

Mice will damage your wall if you fail to capture them and some even if you do capture them! If your wall gets destroyed, you will be forced to retreat until day, where you can rebuild and try again.

Survive the night and make it to dawn where the toughest mice lie in wait!
