About this Mod
In the Ethereal Resonators mod, each teams starts at a corner of the map, quickly get their necessary items, build their fortresses and go siege and kill their enemies.

Each team must place and protect a resonator that will gradually accumulate health and stabilish stronger claim upon the territory in which it is placed. Respawning is not free, your 10 hearts must be consumed from a resonator belonging to your team. A team is defeated once they are all dead and have no resonators with more than 10 hearts to respawn them.
The mod makes cool things like building castles, matching team banners, farming outdoors and playing a goat horn prior to an attack all part of the optimal strategy. Grind for good gear is sped up, so expect it to last half an hour at most. You'll have time to build and siege castles in 2 hour gaming sessions even if you are in a small group of friends.
