Gamemode: last stand

[Torben]

Hey : )  Id like DTV on random plains. DTV is a gay campfest thats all about grinding,  which is gay fun-wise.  I want waves of bots running against our organized formations,  pounding against shieldwalls while ranged and pikemen do their thing.  sth like that.

Btw:  thx for dtv,  when not ass-raped by camping its rly fun,  although not survivable.

[Torben]

just noticed that i used gay a lot.  no offence.  but,  seriously.  gay.* 











*in the south-park way.

Guess people want the magic 5, not fun...

But yea something like the battle of Thermopylae would be awesome

[Mamba]

The fun in DTV is to be perfect and awesome and survive as long as possible, or do his job as best as possbile. If bots rape you over and over you just found out that you suck.

What about an Escape the Village (a.k.a Left & Dead or Call & Duty medieval c-RPG):

After spawning, players have to cross the map to reach the exit/checkpoint/flag. Random bots would spawn at random places (to avoid camping techniques) continuously.

The multiplier for the next round would depend on how many players survive.

Players would choose tactics between rushing (at the risk of being vulnerable to archers and cavalry) or progressing more slowly in an organized/turtle defense (staying longer on the map).

As long as one survivorplayer is alive (even though a part of the team has reached the exit), the round is not over. Will they move back to help him? Or let him on his own, risking to lose a teammate and thus a mutiplier?

Better with big maps/cities/fortress/mazes/hills everything that makes progression difficult.

Even funnier if players don't spawn at the same point.

Would be nice

Well, the devs never wanted people to camp in a house, but the players usually try to win the easiest way possible I think the spawning got delayed because it was too easy for everyone to just camp in the ruins, having a shielder in the doorway. I was testing a new map today on some test server, and there didn't seem to be any easy places to camp. I'm sure people will find out some easy way to beat the AI, but the maps are constantly enhanced to prevent exploits.

good

Nice indeed, but I'd rather see Strategus first, to be honest.

[Nindur]

THis should be in the Suggestion section.


In native you can have players spawn with a certain archetype of trooper (cav, Archer, infantry) and then lead them into battle by giving commands. It certainly is fun and some of the ATS guys have little battles every now and then, but for some reason it just seems it would be easily exploitable for players to power level, even more so than DTV. You could have your friend order his troops to disarm and stand there will you pick them off, etc.

I freaking love this idea!

[Diomedes]

I'd like a DTV where the defenders have non-replenishing health and it being about surviving as along as possible.  Great opportunity for roleplay there, and also an interesting avenue for allowing actual players to take control of some of the bots to improve the fight.  A few human opponents may also mitigate exploits and add some much needed variance to DTV.

I wonder why is it even necessary to have a village? Why not defend a random spot or flag? In the middle of a random map. Players could then do their circular formations there and fight waves of bots. There will also be less roof exploiting.
