Stronghold Betatest over: Download & Manual inside
« on: September 03, 2011, 04:02:03 pm »
+8

Stronghold Controls (Some controls requires a Hammer):
F - Spawns Hammer on Dummy, Create Portcullis on Gatehouse, Captures Mines, Upgrades Buildings/Mines, Claims enemy buildings.
F1 - Battalion order/Flag.
F2 - Enables/Disables Building Mode.
  >F3 - Cycle forward through props, Holding Shift cycles backwards.
  >F4 & F5 - Controls prop in building mode, Raises and lowers the prop, Holding CapsLock/Shift/Ctrl Rotates at X/Y/Z axis.
Right Mouse Button - Zoom out/Upwards in building mode. Left click to place building.
P - Sets Battalion.

Objective of the game-mode is to destroy the other team's dummy more than they destroy yours. Each time the enemy dummy is destroyed you get a multiplier. Each game typically lasts from 40-60 minutes.
You build various props to defend your dummy which costs resources points, you gain resource points at a regular interval, captured mines gives you more resource points, every upgrade gives more resource points and can be upgraded up to 4 times.
There are 3 mines on the map.
You can see your resource points where your gold is at the top-right.
You can pool your resources with other players by being in the same battalion, the leader of the battalion can spend it on buildings.
Siege camps spawn construction material.

You pay for equipment via your resource points pool, items cost /40 of their base price, every building gives 5% discount on it, for example, having a weapon-smith means you only pay 95% of the weapons you spawn with, having 2 means you only pay 90% and so on.

Question, So this game mode everything is availble for our use or do you get a certain type of equipment?
EDIT: Accually no lemme rephrase that, what is dependent on the equipment? what is dependant that you don't get black armor or you don't get white lamallar?


And why is the mine a junk pile? :3

When will the beta-test happen ?
Will it be open, half-open strat-like, closed... ?
What will be the principal task of testers, apart from playing ? Any specific feature the devs want to test on a large scale ?
When will the test end ?

Thanks.

Under those rules the most effective way to get your stronghold set up quickly would be to have every player in one of the battalions to pool resources, leaders run around building constantly while the battalion members protect thier leader while he builds or go capture mines or whatever. Insta-base.

Sounds like it could promote teamwork, awesome.  :)

Maybe you are not bad, but you are a boring person. Well, that's the end of the matter.

This mode will be exactly like an RTS played by multi-schizophrenic people :mrgreen:. It will be extremely demanding in terms of teamwork, and more importantly, discipline. I don't even want to know what will happen with randomers.

should be ready in 30 minutes

 :D

Good enough time for me to finish that frantic frigates thingy...

Freaking second boss always gets me with those eyes D:

Me too  :cry:

Server is on, do we need to download the _dev mod or just rename cRPG ?

Edit : I renamed my cRPG folder and the server lets me in, but the download map speed seems stuck at 0
