Hostile Series

[Verline Wesolowski]

SuperHostile is a collection of CTM Maps made by Vechs. They all feature a set themed area containing difficult dungeons which hold 16 colored wool. The maps are won by completing the Victory Monument, a monument where you have to place all 16 wool and the 3 mineral blocks (iron, gold and diamond) on it. In Early 2016, Vechs created Super Hostile Online, a massive multiplayer server that regularly features new dungeons and a dynamic environment.

Super Hostile is currently a collection of 10 maps where the goal in each of them is to complete the Victory Monument by collecting all the colored wool and mineral blocks. In the map Waking Up, a Redstone Block is also required, and in Inferno Mines there is an optional "Hunter" monument for heads dropped from boss mobs.

Vechs created his first map, Sea of Flame, on March 4th, 2011, as a survival map that was supposed to challenge the player. The next two maps followed this criteria. It wasn't until The Kaizo Caverns that Vechs implemented the Victory Monument concept, creating the Capture the Monument genre. He then subsequently updated his previous maps to fit this new style. After the Minecraft 1.0 update, he updated his older maps again to accommodate the addition of enchanting and brewing, and made Spellbound Caves to be centered around the new changes. Around the time of the 1.4 update, Vechs began to use custom mobs, and updated Sunburn Islands with mobs such as Boomers, Wraiths and Chars. Inferno Mines saw the debut of Vechs using Command Blocks in his maps, as well as many new custom Fleecy Mobs, which had previously only been tested in the scrapped Black Desert II. Waking Up is unique in that the player can collect books as an optional side mission. When read together, the books tell a short story. The map is also claimed to be the hardest map yet by Vechs himself. The map Iceolation features a unique temperature mechanic run by commands, as well as featuring no natural spawns. His most recent maps, Spellbound Caves II and Vexelvania, are exclusive to use with Vechs Super Hostile modpack.

With the release of the Super Hostile modpack, Vechs has been making his new maps within the structure and new mechanics a modded system allows. Following Vexelvania, Vechs has begun working on a new map called Jungle of Secrets, which has been implied to be a spiritual successor to Canopy Carnage.

Super Hostile Online is a massive multiplayer server that Vechs created as a reward for those who pledged five USD or more on his Patreon. SHO is currently in its Beta phase after being relaunched on December 27th of 2016. A few months before SHO Beta launched, Vechs opened a vanilla Minecraft server to act as a companion to SHO, called Vechsilla.

Vechs has made many other maps inspired by Super Hostile that aren't a part of the main line up, though they all share the common goal of completing the monument. Some may be considered a sub-series of Super Hostile itself, while others may be looked at as a stand alone series of their own.

The main objective of my maps (aka custom Minecraft worlds) is to find and complete the Victory Monument. This is a structure with slots on it for blocks. To win a Super Hostile map, you must place each of the requested blocks in the appropriate slot on the Victory Monument. There are 16 colors of wool blocks to find, and also in older maps, the 3 material blocks, of iron, gold, and diamond.

CTM stands for Complete the Monument, which is the genre my Super Hostile series created. Unlike Adventure maps, which typically have very rigid rules and restrictions, CTM maps are about playing Minecraft in a mostly normal fashion, but with a goal to work towards.

For the most part, Super Hostile is like playing Minecraft normally, but it's more difficult and you have a long-term goal to work towards. Also you may find yourself in some unusual terrain. Oh, and the map is designed to kill you, so keep that in mind.

And lastly, here is a bunch of legal stuff. The short version is: feel free to make videos about my maps, watching people play helps me make better maps; please don't rip-off my work and claim it as your own; and please don't upload my work to other websites.

Gunfighters Preacher and Jamie MacCallister keep the peace on the Oregon Trail in the latest novel in the Preacher & Jamie MacCallister Western series from national bestselling authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone.

Per usual, if you initiate combat via a conversation option, the rest of the zone doesn't turn hostile. That option does exist here... it just doesn't appear unless you've completed the Emissary's quests. In this case, it looks like this was done so that the option can be witty.

I didn't complete her quest. I was scouring the mountains of infernals for XP and attacked her. I thought that, given that this was an infernal that the Sholai were creeped out by, the zone wouldn't turn hostile. I was hoping the Sholai were like Zensital in the most recent patch. Apparently they are not.

This is not the only weird thing. I have got a reply from Spiderweb when I mentioned that when Rising turned hostile against me, when I sabotaged the machines, the Awakened Spy in the NEXT zone, Gates, turned against me.

Oh, come on, it is changing -one- line in the script of the zone. It is certainly not hacking and it is something ... well, not hard but not that everyone can do. You got me there. But it is not hacking.

If I want to kill the Emissary I can just complete the Sholai quests and return later, defeat her, and then walk out without fighting the Sholai. It isn't worth the risk, to me, to try modding the game.

Alhoon, you know very well that we have lots of lurkers, lots of casual players who google questions about the game and end up here. It is misleading at best to talk about things you can hack into the game as if it's something you can do in normal play. This shouldn't require an argument.

(And yes, if you are editing game files directly, you are "hacking." It's not a dirty word, and it's a very widely used word in modding communities on the internet, so if you don't like that, your argument is with the rest of the internet and not us :-)

It's more than an hour into a whale-watching excursion organized to promote National Geographic's new six-part series, Hostile Planet, and folks are starting to get restless. We saw our first Pacific gray whale before we'd even left the harbor. It swam right up to the boat to give us a good, long look at its telltale gray-white pattern over dark slate-gray skin. But now we're in the open sea with not a whale in sight.

"The old traditional way was pretty much a voiceover being illustrated with images," said Executive Producer Guillermo Navarro. "Here, the visual language is what takes over. It's a much more immersive experience. That's the basic use of film language, how the power of an image can build emotion and connectivity. You can actually build a sequence and have an emotional connection with the journey of the species."
