A new outpost rush map is now available in New World: Aeternum. The Tower of Calomel is a gothic fortress that features ancient magic and combines it with engineering brilliance. It was once a seat of power and sanctuary but now stands as a battlefield where 20 warriors on each side clash for dominance.
The Tower of Calomel offers a three-layered battlefield that rewards mastery of vertical combat. From sweeping outer battlements and all the way to the shadowed depths of the undercroft, each level demands unique tactics. The elevated positions allow for commanding views though leave defenders vulnerable. Meanwhile, the lower passages hide twisting mines, corrupted arenas, and deadly surprises.
The Flow of Battle
The combat surges across interconnected spaces and each offers unique challenges. These are:
- Outer Battlements: The long sightlines give ranged fighters dominance but exposed walls leave them open to coordinated pushes and flanking fire.
- The Inner Bailey: This serves as the heart of the battlefield where there are elevation shifts and choke points that turn each mid-range clash into a fight for control.
- The Undercroft: A labyrinth of tunnels hiding twin mines, resource nodes, a corrupted portal, and the fearsome Baroness. This is a high-risk and high-reward objective.
Meanwhile, at the center rises the Central Keep. It's a towering capture point that anchors the fight. The fortified gatehouses on either flank test the coordination of attackers and defenders alike.
Balance Considerations
There's no question that height provides powerful oversight. The thing is, no position is impregnable. The exposed battlements make defenders vulnerable to coordinated assaults. At the same time, multiple approach routes ensure that combat is kept fluid. Resources are distributed to encourage movement between levels, ensuring the battle never stalls.
Strategic Depth
Victory goes to those who balance control of the high ground with presence in the resource-rich depths. Coordinated assaults across multiple levels, timed boss engagements, and clever use of underground flanking routes create endless possibilities for dynamic play.
