Yeah Strategus battles are pretty much team deathmatch.
Just that the amount of tickets/lifes is based on how big your army is.
And I have to admit that it would be fun with TDM.
But seeing the current system is based on time, and the multiplier is based on wins. So do I wonder how to do it.
Either some kind of time limit in TDM(Will cause alot of camping together, hiding, shield walling, just waiting for the enemy to charge/waste tickets)
Or low amount of tickets - But this will make it similiar to current Battles if people just have a few lives.
