This looks like griefing heaven and willrequire at least three moderators during play. Screw up a seven minute match and people rage, now imagine the same with a sixty to ninety minute match.

Oh yes like some people are suggesting at the beginning of round a commander should be appointed like in Empires a mod for HL2. It would be better to have one person voted to be able to make the walls and other structures he could be playing in a RTS hybrid view inside his command tent or whatever.

New admin already losing his nerve? :wink:

Here are some more shots, mostly of the castle I made when we were testing tonight! Interior is a bit bare because I had to go play a Strat siege. Took a few pictures of the stuff other people were building as well.

Should give you some idea what kind of building capabilities we're dealing with.

Not losing his nerve, just remembering how much trolls are on the internet. I am thinking of siege but with four times the "fun" in it  :wink:

Yeah, I don't doubt that trolls and bug abusers will be trying their hardest to ruin it for everybody, but I'm also sure chadz will work hard on his end to put in some safeguards, and deal with whatever new issues may emerge after release. Just have to wait for the game mode to take shape so we can all better understand what the problems might be. :)

The problem will be finding a balance between permissions to build and permission to raze buildings again. Only a few will be able to afford building, but everyone can right now raze your teammates buildings. This probably needs some workover :P

Curious...how many players are we reckoning this for? It looks like it could potentially support a huge server.

Maybe a limit to the amount of siege equipment that can be deployed at the same time?

Great idea!

We could have different sorts of walls, wooden ones being cheaper but vulnerable to fire i.e torches if someone manages to get near the wall.

torches with a shortish throw range and not carryable on horseback would add a  dramatic feature ie "kill that bastard before he gets any closer" type of angle.

Huge amounts of this gamemode sounds great, keep up the good work.
