Title: Question for a dev: Why do we not have any servers with conquest?
Post by: Tomas_of_Miles on April 30, 2012, 06:45:38 pm
Is the conquest gamemode still supported in cRPG, or was it commented out/ modified into one of the new gamemodes?

Would be nice to have a server that ran this gamemode, I'm sure it would be popular with both the siege crowd and the battle crowd. So does it still exist in the cRPG code as conquest? If so I suppose it wouldn't even have to be an official server running it, just any server would be nice.

Kind of like siege and deathmatch, very much like in other games conquest. There are a number of flags on the map, you take the flags and hold them to get points (as well as getting kills) alternatively you can think of it as taking tickets away from the army. So there's more respawns than siege, but the focus isn't just one flag. I'm sure there could be a decent way of implementing multi dependent on the flags your team has.

Are you talking about the one where you had a chance to build structures and had to take over mines and hold positions strategically? If so, i remember that beta test months ago and it was amazingly fun. I'd love to see it implemented, the only downside i can see is that it would decimate both battle and siege server populations, but then that's because it's an amazing concept.

I was actually referring to a gamemode that was bundled with Native, but I never see any servers run it.

edit* the same could be said for fight and destroy

That's Stronghold.

Try one of the Conquest servers in Native (or some other mod) to see what it's about.

PW runs most of the servers in "conquest" mode right?

Gotta open up my native...

Okie dokie, thanks for the answer. What would need to be modified?

Integration with various cRPG stuf (persistent stats/equip, reward handling, more of that stuff). Sounds easy, but most of is tedious grunt copypasta work that nobody wants to do.
