Dota Mode

lol just some random idea, imagine dota game mode, halls spawn AI knights that go to the enemy hall, only players overweight the fragile balance between red and blue, with tech you can upgrade AI with bombs, give them siege, and archers and bigger numbers with gold or coins from killed enemy AI,and you also build defenses and help them advance.
What do you think? Would it be boring? Or would you enjoy the slaughter of AI when the enemy player is not around and cash in the coins from the kill into upgrades?

If we want more we could also try to have levels or buyable skills, with this much kills/coins you get one more heart, with this much kills you get faster charge or +1 slash, or you always get +1 free bomb and hamburger when you spawn even without factories etc etc.
And archers less draw time, 2 or 3 arrows per draw, more range etc

 

you mean actually a tower defense mode?

 

Well here you cannot build towers that shoot arrows or cannons at the AI but I guess it is something similar and by your comment I think you will say someone already suggested it? :D

Actually now that I think about it we could have a migrant operating the mounted bow when unpacked on a tower, and the enemy team that consists of minimum 2 knights 1 archer and 1 builder, where the builder clears the path of every obstacle including towers, so I would say it is kinda TD mode, the question is, is it going to be interesting and is it doable, but its the same as putting 2 halls on tdm (the tdm that you have played solo with bots) , and the other thing which would be hard to do is to program a builder to crack walls which are on the way of its programmed path and if there are holes, if he detects empty space to put a wooden block on the ground.

 

You could add special blocks/backwalls.

Certain blocks are destructible, between a set of blocks are where certain blocks have to be placed, and certain blocks have to be placed on certain backwalls.

 

AI's that could charge and fight in battle would be Quite interesting

 

I am still noob programmer :D

AI Builder would be interesting :D

 

I think this is a great idea!

 

I think this is rife with all sorts of balance problems when you consider good players but this could be really good for scrubs so they'd actually be able to kill stuff.

 

Yeah that's a great point, especially if the purchases scale to far. If it's to low then it's probably leaning towards being to plain. What if someone takes TTH for the new mode does some of the following: Bots spawning both sides in waves, 1 base with a few pre built towers in front each, low resources, and then lastly some sort of mod for limiting and slowing technology. Also the amount of players for a game would have to be low, maybe 10 and 12 for testing I imagine. Throwing in more bots during that time would make it fun I think. New players would probably love it and it could be a faster paced match if done right. You could even throw zombies in there down the road!(Personally I love the concept of zombies on the fun ctf server)But I really don't know how to do any modding lol

 

Awesomenauts is a 2d moba ! I found it pretty fun to, just ugly looking and such. Maybe I'll give the idea a shot down the road.
