Absalom is the capital city on Omicron. It also serves as the center of religious faith for the Necris. Despite a very shallow pretense to the contrary, the Necris have slowly taken over control of the government, and it is predicted that within the next century every living soul on Omicron will have undergone the Necris conversion.

Map Description

The map is divided in the two bases and a relatively open mid-field with a bridge connecting the upper base exits. For each base there are five ways in and out: the upper exit via the bridge, the left and right side exits with the power-up chambers and the left and right front exits through the lower part of the building that separates the base from the mid-field.

The Jump Boots in the front building allow reaching the bridge from one of the lower front exits. The front exits can, however, be temporarily closed by standing on a trigger between the Scavenger and Nemesis spawn points.

Strategies

Offense

• The Nightshade's deployables are more useful in the enemy base than in your own.
• To get the Darkwalker onto the central bridge, you can use the tentacles at the left and right side.

Defense

• Play with world detail set to 2 or higher, otherwise you won't be able to see the cloaked Nightshade.
• The Nemesis and Darkwalker make a strong defense team if used to control both sides of the middle area.
• Stand on the trigger between the Nemesis and Scavenger spawn points to close the front doors.
• Shoot the lights above the power-up chambers in the side exit routes to burn players who are trying to get the power-up.

Campaign Info

After losing the war, Akasha is about as popular here as we are. Malcolm's getting intel through a secret informant - probably a leak in the Phayder corporation. Akasha is hiding in the city of Absalom, surrounding herself with her last loyal crew of blackguard assassins. Lets see if they're willing to die for her.

Mission Objectives

• Disable the enemy Respawner by removing its FLaGs.
• The Darkwalker near the central aqueduct is available to both teams.
• Shoot the lights to call a wave of flames that consumes enemies near power ups.

Mission Chat

• Jester: Welcome to the necris capital.
• Reaper: It's beautiful... and... horrible.
• Othello: It's a nanoblack thing, Reaper. You just wouldn't understand...
• Jester: So where are the thousands of Phayder Assassins hiding?
• Othello: Maybe they haven't noticed us.
• Jester: Suuure. "Ronin" and "stealthy" go so well together...
