== The series provides examples of: ==
 
* [[Abandonware]]: Sort of. Pre-''Clonk Endeavour'' titles, which used to be shareware, are fully available for free.
* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: Cannons and catapults can launch everything, from rocks, construction kits and barrels to animals. A heavy artillery cannon can even [[Human Cannonball|launch]] ''[[Human Cannonball|clonks]]''.
Line 87 ⟶ 85:
 
== Official packs ==
=== Knights ===
 
The Knights pack is set in a [[Ye Goode Olde Days]] medieval setting. It usually features knights battling each other, either in small tournaments or large battles between rivaling castles. Castles consist of combinable modules that can be built by players, making huge [[Wide Open Sandbox]] knight levels popular too.
* [[Bow and Sword In Accord]]: Preferred equipment of knights.
Line 97 ⟶ 94:
* [[Ye Goode Olde Days]]
 
=== Fantasy ===
 
The Fantasy pack mostly features mages competing in tournaments. The original fantasy scenarios radically differ from the fanmade ones which are extremely common in network; the original scenarios feature settling elements and are generally similar to normal clonk melees, while many fanmade ones play more like a sidescrolling magic shooter; mostly due to mana being cheap and quickly regenerating, the fanmade version of the Toad Jump spell which practically allows infinite [[Double Jump|Double Jumps]], and some spells that can [[One-Hit Kill]] a target.
* [[Alchemy Is Magic]]: If the alchemy system is activated, spells require "magic components" extracted from materials.
Line 120 ⟶ 116:
* [[Walking on Water]]: An ability temporarily granted by magic.
 
=== Western ===
 
A pack in a classical [[Wild West]] setting, featuring cowboys, settlers, bandits, sheriffs, cavalry, trappers, indians and so on.
* [[Bar Brawl]]: You can start them. You don't see anything of it except the saloon ejecting broken bottle shards periodically.
Line 138 ⟶ 133:
 
== Semi-official packs ==
=== Metal and Magic ===
 
The "Metal and Magic" pack combines contents and gameplay mechanics of the ''Knights'' and ''Fantasy'' packs and adds a great amount of new elements, like religion or assassins. Unlike most other Clonk packs, it has an elaborate [[Backstory]]. The magic system is rebalanced to allow fair fights between mages and knights.
* [[Animate Dead]]: Paladins are capable of this, creating ghosts or [[Dem Bones|skeletons]], depending on which god they follow.
Line 160 ⟶ 154:
* [[Wreathed in Flames]]: The "hot blood" spell plays this straight, and makes simply walking into your enemies a valid tactic even for a mage.
 
=== Hazard ===
 
The Hazard pack is a [[Cyberpunk]] shooter pack. The gameplay differs radically from standard Clonk gameplay.
* [[Action Bomb]]: Pyrocites.
Line 188 ⟶ 181:
 
== Fanmade packs ==
=== Eke Reloaded ===
 
Eke Reloaded is an action shooter pack with a military setting. Though it deals with a civil war and an alien invasion, it has a tongue-in-cheek tone and parodies cliches of soldiers, military games and the Action genre in general. Unlike most other Clonk packs, it has an official backstory.
* [[Badass]]: The Special Force Trooper is a deliberate parody of this. He '''''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|kicks down trees]]'''''.
Line 215 ⟶ 207:
* [[Walkie-Talkie Static]]
* [[You Always Hear the Bullet]]
 
 
== Single scenarios ==
=== Blastwave Battle ===
An unusual competitive scenario with two player teams. The unusual thing about it is that unlike in most Clonk scenarios you cannot directly reach your opponent to throw objects at them at close range, as the middle half of the map is a [[Bottomless Pits|bottomless pit]], and you [[One-Hit Kill|instantly die]] anyway if you manage to get across. Instead, you're supposed to [[Explosion Propulsion|utilize blastwaves]] to propel flints and other items to the enemy side, in order to either deplete all respawns of the enemy team by killing their clonks repeatedly or destroy their generator. There's also some money management thrown in, thanks to an interest rate system.
 
Line 228 ⟶ 219:
* [[Mirror Match]]: Both teams start out with the same map layout and ressources. This carries over to mods with a dynamic map generator.
 
=== Keepers ===
 
A tactical team scenario with [[RPG Elements]]. Inspired by the [[Multiplayer Online Battle Arena]] genre.
Line 281 ⟶ 272:
* [[Unstable Equilibrium]]: Skilled players will keep getting kills and obtain better equipment and enhanced skills which make getting more kills more likely and taking one less likely. Like in other [[MOBA|MOBAs]], low-skill players tend to "feed", getting killed often and bestowing much experience and money for the other team without getting mentionably more powerful themselves.
 
=== Pollen ===
 
A tactical knight melee with an unusually high focus on ambience.
* [[Petal Power]]: The legendary pollen swords.
 
=== Tower Of Despair ===
 
A hard puzzle scenario with an unique module system. In development.
* [[Bonus Dungeon]]: The Sewers, full of treasure, and the Backdoor Path, a [[Harder Than Hard]] late-game shortcut.
Line 300 ⟶ 289:
* [[Threshold Guardians]]: The Guardian of Wisdom and the Guardian of Knowledge.
 
=== zOMG Revolution ===
 
A ...strange survival scenario. Many waves of sometimes unusual things fall from the sky, accompanied by wacky commentary and trippy graphical effects.
* [[Death Throws]]: And temporarily cracks the [[Fourth Wall]].
