I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Shit gameplay mode, take it down.

Well you did enter the thread with the above, which is 100% off topic ....

I just noted that your "watched" tag doesn't surprise me.
No offense, of course.

Well fine then i'll elaborate.  In siege due to quite a few "gameplay elements" defense is almost impossible.

Thanks OP. I wonder how it will be when Ozin is finished with his Siege 2.0.

This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

You missed chaos banner stacking on defense earlier, apparently, a screen for you chronic masturbators.

Defense is easily possible, just need some competent players/clan stack.

Elindor thanks for the explanation. Nudges me one step closer to trying my hand at map making.  :)

Re: defense in siege: totally depends on the map. some maps are more skewed towards defense, others towards offense. You should never say 'fuck it my team is meant to lose' because then you will play worse and help your team lose!

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

Siege should be balanced until the mean offense win rate of all maps in the rotation is 50%. Note that I didn't say every map should have an offense win rate of 50%, as siege is more fun when certain maps favor attackers or defenders.

However, I don't think the way to balance these maps is by adjusting the spawn points Elindor described, as that sounds tedious and iterative. The easy way is just to adjust the defense respawn timer on a per-map basis. You could apply an algorithm whereby each map has a "target" offense win rate (with the mean of all maps in the rotation being 50%, as I said before), and just have code that progressively alters the defender respawn timer until the target offense win rate is achieved on a running average basis.

Now, I don't know if it's actually possible to implement what I described, but I think it's the simplest way to balance siege. It would also be a great opportunity to re-introduce some of the classic native maps that were removed from the rotation due to imbalance.

So then it is definitely possible to have maps with minimum spawn requirements such as:
 - Attackers do not spawn within the castle walls.
 - Defense does not spawn inside or on top of the gatehouse.
 - Defense does not spawn outside of their own castle walls.

I feel like defenders spawning a good distance from the flag is necessary, otherwise a few good shielders could contest the flag indefinitely with staggered spawns.

- Watch the results and/or gather feedback (community is so helpful and constructive with this, of course :) )

Haha, I feel so bad for you Elindor.
Keep up the good work and keep ignoring the trolls.
Your maps have evolved into very interesting and balanced maps, which keeps me interested in this game.
