=== PROTECTOR ===

--- STORY ---

	Coming from a civilization in perfect harmony far from our timeline, the Protector is an elite security guard working for the TimeTravel Co. He works for the company as the "Head of Defense". Basically, if any
trespasser were to come by the corporation, he'd be the first to contact it and most likely eradicate it. He is the ultimate soldier from the future, armed with the latest technology they can offer. However, he has
a reason to exist. Even in a state of perfect harmony, the TimeTravel Co knew something would disturb their timeline, something evil from the past would change the future. The Ghouls as we know, have the potential to alter
the future and change the events altogether, causing the very civilization itself to cease to exist! Seeing this, and knowing they had no better choice, TimeTravel Co sent their best man, the Protector to aid the humanity in their
battle against the Ghouls. They knew ghouls were nothing like anything the Protector or they themselves had faced before. This battle would determine the outcome of all humanity, the past, the present and the future...

--- GAMEPLAY ---

* Protector comes with 3 weapons: A Shock Rifle, a Mini-Missile Launcher and a Lightning Gun.
	+ Shock Rifle: Shoots a duo of green energy blasts, limited range. As it fires, releases a ring of energy discharge that deals 1 damage, but rips through enemies.
	+ Mini-Missile Launcher: Shoots mini missiles. They first start slow, but immediately accelerate to thrice their initial speed after 8 tics.
	+ Lightning Gun: Shoots an invisible ray that leaves energy fields as it travels, dealing constant damage throughout. Bounces 3 times.
* The alt fire for all these weapons is the Energy Dash. It's an improved version of the Cyborg's dash, however it has a few pros and cons.
	+ It can dash to sideways, for that you press forward+any side key or backward+any side key.
	+ You are not required to be on ground level to dash.
	- You can not dash upwards.
	- You can't dash when stunned by a Creeper.
	- Your dash range is shorter, and has a small cooldown. Also, after you dash you pause briefly.
	- Since the dash is purely based on the energy stored, you need the energy gained from the weapons to dash. Each weapon generates a certain amount of energy.
* For every kill he gets, he fills a special power source that allows him to upgrade his weapons and other abilities. The list of upgrades is as follows:
	1. Shock Rifle damage increases by 2, the discharge damage increases by 1.
	2. Mini missile hit damage increases by 5, explosion damage increases by 4.
	3. Dashing deals damage at start and ending points, each doing 30 damage in a 96 unit radius.
	4. Mini Missiles start recharging the same way Shock Rifle does. (Up to 15 ammo, charges by 1)
	5. Lightning Gun starts recharging the same way Shock Rifle does. (Up to 5 ammo, charges by 1)
	6. Lightning Gun deals 4 more damage and shoots a railgun doing 15 damage. Also bounces 4 times instead of 3.
	7. Dash range increases by 50%.
* The reflection of the upgrades is shown as a meter at the top right corner of the screen. The more it fills, the more upgrades you have!
	
* Protector starts the game with 50 armor that reduces the damage taken by 50%. For each kill he gets, he gains 25 armor. If a Protector dies, he leaves his armor behind for others to pick up, even if he has no armor left.

+++ RESISTANCES +++

* Choke and Frostbite's bite: 20%

--- WEAKNESSES ---

* Creeper's Stun: 300%
* Sjas' Scream: 20%

+++ MOHOPH POWERUP : DISTORTION +++

	You are pushed wherever you are looking at while you're attacking.

=== MORGWYR ===

--- STORY ---

	The beast now known as Morgwyr was once a famous actor, always proud of his looks. As many admirers he had, he had rivals that would do anything to bring him down. It didn't him to be 
far from kind, and at every little mistake his colleagues would make he'd cuss them to no end, which eventually would lead them to get fired. At a dark night, while he was practicing
for his next role, two of his colleagues snuck up behind him, first knocked him unconcious and tied him up then dragged him into a forest. When he finally woke up, he realized
he was far from home. Shortly after, the two came to him and said "It's time you pay for the misery you brought upon us" and pulled a knife. They mercilessly cut his face until he would no longer
be recognized, and just before he died, they put him on a stake and set him on fire. As he burned, he constantly screamed "You will pay, this is NOT THE END!". Of course, since he was disfigured so much nothing
he would say could be understood, they thought he was pleading for his life, or praying. They'd soon realize, this was not the case... The wind blew away all his smithereens and
the two left after staying the night in the forest. However, they didn't leave the forest in one piece... Ever since then, Morgwyr is a restless soul who would stop at nothing to tear apart any human being he'd encounter.

--- GAMEPLAY ---

!! TURN ON MODELS TO SEE HIS MARKER PROPERLY !!

* Primary Fire: Lunge forward, dealing damage on the way. Leave a marker at the place before you lunged.
* Alt fire: If you had used primary fire when you press this, you teleport to the marker you left. This resets your attack cooldown, but puts the displacement on cooldown.
If you didn't use primary fire when you press this, then you summon a swarm of bats that will go a certain distance before disappearing.
* The bats have an ammo system similar to other Ghouls, he regenerates when he stands still, 1 charge per 45 tics He charged up to 5 ammo, and can go above this with kills, 2 per kill. (max 20)

+++ RESISTANCES +++

* Curses: 25%
* PlanesWalker's Vortex: 15%

--- WEAKNESSES ---

* Fire damage and Plasma types: 15%

+++ GHOSTBUSTER POWERUP : MOLECULAR EXPANDER +++

	Works as an explosive hitscan attack, upon kill makes the ghoul expand and explode, dealing area damage.

I've finally given this a shot and it's definitely my favourite version of GVH floating around at the moment, not perfecto but I don't think GVH ever is! Planeswalker is by far the best addition to the roster IMO, something about him just feels fancy and doesn't have lots of crazy mechanics behind him.

[Guardsoul]

Yay, finally some of my stuff have been added! :D

[Iridion]

Hey guys, im new here.

Major kudos to whoever made this fun wad that is Ghouls vs. Humans.

I just have some constructive criticism that I'd like to express, as I have been playing this wad since it's early debut.

I have always thought that the Sjas needs to be much faster. The humans should not be able to outrun something that flies; this makes it extremely hard to kill Hunter players that are literally 98.9% accurate with lightning arrows. When im Sjas, i'm always Side strafing, and zig zagging to avoid enemy fire, but Sjas just doesn't seem quick enough, imo.

Their secondary attack (Reflect) is fine, but they are left extremely vunlrable to attack after the reflect stops.

Whenever you have a unarmed class, it has to be top priority to make sure they aren't gimped to approach a class who is armed.

Please take this into consideration. thank you :)

Sadly that won't happen until there's a very big demand for it, even then it's debatable. Sjas was being buffed/nerfed slightly every patch and IMO we hit it right in this one.

I see. I can say that i'm pretty well experienced on class based "unarmed vs. armed" type games (Aliens vs. Predator, etc). And from a consumer/gamer standpoint, this is a glaring problem for me.

My motto is "Your enemy can't kill what he can't hits", but unfortunately, a large open area + Lightning fast arrow vs. slower flying target = dead Sjas (imo). When i'm the last player standing, I've been victim of this so many times, and I trace my steps countless of times to see what im doing wrong, but..no avail.

But to each his own, however. Much luck on your progress with this wad.

sjas could have a temporary special that make it faster, but I think there were a version of sjas just like that...

EDIT:santa is cool, since his guns are different from what engineer was it's ok

Sjas had an exact version with it, which made him take extra damage for the duration it was active and even then it was overpowered, therefore it's no longer with us.

Also, santa? There ain't no santa in the recent version?

[EnsaladaDeTomate]

10/10

The best GvH version i had ever seen around.

[Cruduxy]

Sjas doesn't dodge by just strafing he has an extra axis available to only him -aka fly up\down + jump buttons-. His alt-attack is really useless vs. anyone who can play good because he needs an hour before he can move again :|.

NERF THAT CRYBABIES TRY-HARD MODE CYBORG

[Catastrophe]

To be fair, if you are a good sjas you wouldn't put yourself in a position where altfire is the only way out

[Guardsoul]

Something needs to be done with Nightmare/Mist because when I´m trying to charge the invisivility most of the time I´m blind because of the fog (and sometimes while I´m moving too).

[Ivan]

I updated the maps, to v1.3. Fixed the errors on them.

I was working on a statistics mod for GvH to help balance classes. The mod is intended for Eternal Hatred, but can be easily converted to LoD. Interested?
