In this module, you at first are leveled up to level 4 (or as high as the highest level person). After leveling, you join a team, either Roshnak or Aniel. This takes you to the battle area, where you buy equipment. After your done purchasing gear, you go outside of base into the battle. At the heart of the base, there is the Dragon, two guards and five elite defenders. Once you leave the base, there are three roads. NPC troops are always traveling down these roads, to attempt to kill the enemy dragon. There are also four defenders on each road, two at the start, and two near the center. Once you get to the second set of defenders, you will notice that your troops, are meeting up with the enemy troops, just past where you are. Just beyond that point, there are the enemy defenders. You must kill the little troops and level up, in order to become strong enough to kill the enemy defenders, elite defenders, guards and finally the dragon. After a dragon is killed, the module reloads, and everyone starts at level four again. Weapons are upgradeable, buffs can be purchased by classes we deem non caster and troops can be upgraded by the general of the army. One round usually takes around 90 minutes.
One side feature (amongst others) is that at the beginning of each round, you may vote on if you would like an Epic Level 20, Epic Level 40, or normal round. An epic round gives you 5,000,000 gold and levels you to the aforementioned level. The dragons also become plot for 30 minutes when one of these rounds are activated.
Haha nice, made it to hall of fame. Thanks for all the support throughout the years everyone, sorry it had to come to an end. We had some great fun while it lasted though! _________________________ Link

A fun server that I always enjoyed. It's great to see it up again and hopefully the DMs, and Mike will continue to improve it.

Me/Mike were friends for awhile until the server went down. I was sad to see it close down. I remember playing back when I first started. I was a noob to multiplayer but, I believe it was the first module I joined in multiplayer. I played it a lot. Although, it has been back up about a week or so from a fan. I am glad he is hosting it. Reminds me of the good old days. I have to vote this a 10 because I loved the module.

Not online anymore, but I'll throw on a vote just to move it up on the list so still-online worlds get more exposure. _________________________ World of Aenea (Hall of Fame PW and the origin of all my works)

Self-Promotional Honesty: If you have opinions on stuff I've made, or if you use any of it (as a player or builder), I like comments/votes/feedback...so do other content makers and builders. Keep us motivated. :)
(note that I already voted with a different account)
I would like to mention that Mike and I are working on a new version.
It's going to be called CotD: Conquest of the Dragons.
The basics stay the same, as in Team PvP, 2 dragons, 3 roads, defenders, troopers, but there will be additional things to do and the ultimate goal is world domination, acchieved by fighting over a number of areas. You will be able to permanently side with either of the dragons and get different gear that way, as well as the ability to vote what map is fought on next. This can be a conquerable map and the winning team will have moved 1 step further towards the ultimate goal.
Gameplay balance will be a lot better (at least, that's what we're going to try) than it is currently and a lot of new options and abilities, perhaps even spells will be put in, all extensively using the 1.69 OnPlayerChat event.

BotD is the first server I started on, and I still love it to this day. At higher levels PvP becomes intense and teamwork is needed. The armor and weapons are a bit unflexible but still, it doesn't wreck gameplay. Also try out Mike's "partner" server, Alestorm ^^. Both are awesome

This server brilliant, The basic concept is easy to get to grips with. Not only that but the variety of old to new players is also good. With old players continuously playing frequently, and new players coming everyday it means your always meeting new people, and fighting different builds. Its also important to say that the server is frequently updated with new fresh ideas to make the gameplay fair and fun, sometimes even players suggestions are included into the updates which is also really cool. The most important thing with Mikes Botd, is that it is for all ages, Mike and the Dm's always ensure that bad language or behaviour is dealt with accordingly so everyone can enjoy themselves in peace. Any people looking for a new server to play, be sure to check this one out, you will learn fast and soon fit in, and if yo uget stuck theres always people wanting to help you out.
10/10

Very good. However, it tends to get old fairly fast, at least for me. _________________________ Why are you asking me? I'm just a kid!
