Gamemode Stronghold - beta this evening?(CET)

[chadz]

When can we expect to try out this new gamemode?

I'd usually say when it's done... but I think we all know it will be before...

I heard rumor that you GTX cRPG.

M&B: Minecraft ?

btw: destryoing dummy is only + 1 ? but one games last 60-90 minutes?

So you have to play this game mode at least 5 hours to gain x5 ? o.o

Guess, the dummy is respawning all the time and if you manage to kill it multiple times in one game you'll get your x5.

I have a question. If you take a look at Natural Selection of example, there's only one commander who builds stuff. How many, who and how will it be determined who is allowed to build stuff?

[Paul]

I think chadz' initial idea was to allow everyone to build but no individual will be able to afford it on his own. Then the existing battalion system can be used. The battalion commander would get the gold from his battalion members and would actually be able to build.

I thought this was a troll.

Nice, very nice. Thanks for the answer.

uh nice idea for the gamemode but i dread relying on ppl who are not on my TS cuz it usually never works. its a freaking miracle if you are able to arganise ppl in regular battles just to change the headless run from spawn in one and only one direction. making them run headless in a different way is a miracle to say the least, making a shield wall wow u must be messiah.

So basically it would be a new round everytime the dummy dies but all the previously built walls, etc are kept between rounds?

[Overdriven]

That is my major concern. Organising pubbies for this. Would be great fun when banner balanced with your clan mates. But relying on pubbies to do things properly would be painful.

[Camaris]

NOOOO!!! 

The mode looks like a great idea for clan scrims. I'm not sure if it will work for random people. It looks like there will be too much trouble with people doing things in wrong ways accidentally and on purpose.

It will work for those randompeople who are able to work together with clans on the servers.
Even now i know some people wearing regulary our banner and behaving like clanmembers without being in clan or in our ts.
You dont have to be a genius to do simple basics of teamwork. Unfortunatly you shouldnt be dumb either.

Awesome concept, sounds fun!

It would be great to appoint a commander on each side that can see the troop status/location and issue orders. This would allow for at least SOMEWHAT organized pubbie matches.

As for the issue of multiplier: I am pretty sure that the multiplier will change dynamically throughout a game. When the "HQ" of a side is capped, it should adjust accordingly right away.

[Lichen]

This mode reminds me of capture the island mode in operation flashpoint which was amazingly awesome and the main reason I played. Only thing is if some other thing of real importance/significance than a dummy would be used as what you need to protect that'd be cool. Maybe a NPC king, princess etc.

Just use teamchat.

I'm really impressed with the coding abilities of chadz and the rest of the dev team. You truly have the skills to make something extraordinary. And you  guys are not bend on earning money so you guys actually try new things and come up with creative ideas.

First Strategus makes me think of Lords of the Realms and now he makes a Stronghold inspired game mode. chadz, I love your taste in games!

I wish you the best of luck on this project and I really hope it works out.
