Game is broken

I support Furai.

 

I have suggested both of these. Specifically, scale maximum score to player counts. With a larger resolution of points (Different kinds of flags) this should pretty good.

Some statistics collection could help with the formula. Mainly, scoring frequency as a function of playercount of server, provided that teams are always at balance.
This could also be used for things like class balancing. Important things would be what class killed what class, what was the latency, player count and match running time.


What ever became of that map-extending idea of yours?
Perhaps at endgame (tent destroyed) a new half of map would be generated, and the game area shifted so that the destroyed base is the new one for the winner.

Also, in that ctf draft, tent and epic banner are two separate things. It looks like it could go well, but I'm just worried that the epic banner will become the new gold bags, buried behind two metric tons of stone walls and doors. I think moving the initial spawn to the side of the screen could work, too.
A ledge of super-bedrock (Not destroyable even by bombs) should be used, though.


Whatever the decision is, I'm sure this stuff needs to be tested in practice.

 

Once we have different tiers of outposts, I imagine that could work for the bigger ones really well.

I don't think it would fit the current game too well, though. Destroying an outpost is easy, and means that an entire wave of enemies is thrown back to their spawn.
But you still have to build a new one, and there may be defenders remaining. These dynamics will be mostly lost.

 

Both! Capture it standing still for a dozen of seconds, or destroy it if it's too hard to take over!
