Games lasting too long? (Possible Solution)

    Hey, I love the game! Reminds me of a 2d version of SourceForts! I was just wondering what you guys think about the average length of the games? I personally think it takes a little too long to complete one. Sometimes people even start votes to restart cuz the map its getting "stale". What's your opinions?

    A possible solution for this is to give all classes the ability to place ladders. One of the main problems I see, is people spending most of their time in pits and at the bottom of the map fighting because they can't get out. Give knights and archers 10 ladders at the spawn and the ability to create more after looting wood from corpses. Builders will still be very superior in building and mining, but atleast they won't need to be there 24/7 to try and transport others to the main objective.

    Again, this is just my take. If the community likes the length of the games, then thats cool too. I just personally thought they were a bit too long.

    Disagree. The main reason knights and archers are stuck in pits for so long is because at the moment 70% of the games population are idiots/ignorant and never answer your call for a ladder placement. All the people in my clan answer and so do people in other clans, as well as some decent people not in clans. Otherwise i've actually had 3 builders working around me, all mining stuff and not one of them even took any notice of me spamming emotes and 8 when me and another knight was stuck.

    Giving ladders to knights is probably one of the most game-breaking things you can do. They already have bombs, can destroy blocks manually and are the best in close combat. If you give them ladders games will pretty much end the moment they start as 3 knights all rushing would be unstoppable, not even builders would be able to stop them quick enough. Everyone on the enemy team would all have to switch to knights and where's the fun in everyone being the same class?

    I disagree too.

    The best solution for games lasting too long, is for me, ability to capture enemy outposts (Which already happens) and an ability to destroy their tents, which would cause them to lose.
