New Default Game Mode Proposal - "War"

Bruce lee was in mid-evil times? Where have I been?

 

Yeah, I'd have to agree with Lennartz and say the "elimination" aspect of the proposed game would be very tedious. Better to just end the game with destroying the main tent.

 

I heartily second this.

His art style should be totally outside the typical KAG artstyle too - like Mortal Kombatish.

 

removing the flag.... for BRUCE LEE?
;-)

Bullseye for the war mode. CTF does add unique tactical gameplay to a game (like Soldat), but not much in the case of KAG. There's hardly any alternate routes with players that can ambush the flag carrier.

Chasing down the last builders that hides underground trying to get a new outpost running? That will be fucking hilarious And if the guy doesn't have 120 wood he's fucked in the underground :)

I always preferred destroying stuff than stealing a flag. Especially in a RTS styled game

Sounds good!

 

Bruce lee could spawn little clones. Like a bunch of big nosed Jackie Chan's and stuff

 

So what would be the point of the archer's infiltration skills? Maybe make it so his axe damages buildings?

 

I agree, 100% that would be awesome.

EDIT: maybe make stone blocks take 20 stone, and have then be set like a catapult, so you would place half of it, and say, 2 seconds later you can play another, thus making a stone block.

 

This has to be the best game mode suggested yet.

 

So this would make it so that the maps were never entirely swiss cheese. Awesome.

 

How about map wrap? Doesn't work in CC, but could work in KAG.

 

Perhaps structures could have minimum requirements for them to be considered castles by the game engine. Building a 1-block thick square (completely sealed) with stone background inside could provide it with +30% overall strength. 2-block thick walls for +50% strength.

You could also add granite blocks, which would require 2x as long to mine and would slow down the builder carrying them, maybe even disable jumping. This would then be a great excuse for minecarts.

 

I love all your ideas Geti, and yours too Garciat. Map wrap is something everyone is hoping for.

Here's something I just thought up to deal with tunneling.

Make it so that dirt blocks are actually picked up just like stone is. Once you get to something like 300 dirt (new max limit) then your character is carrying too much and moves VERY slowly and can only jump up to 1 block stairs. They also can't break blocks. This would create some serious strategising in order for people to tunnel. You'd have to either have someone coming in with you to trade the dirt and ferry it up to main land, to be dumped somewhere, or you'd have to create a few dirt seams on your way down to replace the dirt you've already picked up and repeat this... OR live with the slow speed and make the ascent 1 block stairs to climb. The only problem I can think of is you could abuse this by suiciding and/or blowing up your body = dirt gone forever, so perhaps Geti's idea is better. I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be allowed to carry more than 250 of each material either, but make it so that over that limits you with speed, the same thing as dirt, this means feasibly you won't waste any material but you've got to figure out some way of getting back up. It would help people understand not to dig too much.

 

So it'd be like being over-encumbered in Fallout or the Elder Scrolls games? That'd be nice.

Also, I think it would be better if there was a chance for dirt to be destroyed when mined, like a 50/50 thing of whether it's moved or completely destroyed. That way you could dig without burying yourself alive, but the map wouldn't be utterly destroyed.

 

I haven't played fallout (*waits for people to gasp*) but slightly similar to elder scrolls in that you're limited by weight, but not quite as in elder scrolls you can't move at all, you have to drop something. I'm suggesting still being able to move, but very slowly, meaning it may or may not be worth collecting too much, depending on how important it is.

 

Hehehe, so if dirt blocks were implemented that would be a handy fair way of storing them before you get over encumbered, but yeah I don't know if you feel for that idea. Either way, all of that sounds awesome ^^.

 

In Fallout, it works the same way as if you have high Heavy Armor skills in Elder Scrolls. You can move, but you're limited to walking.

Also, maybe give certain things different weights? Arrow<Wood<Bomb<Gold<Stone?
And have a weight limit to the right of the bomb icon for every class. That way when you loot items off others (Arrows, etc) as a knight (Or dig) or archer, your load can still be too heavy. Then people will be more encouraged to bring back items to their team's builders instead of going on suicide runs with 200 stone on them.
