New Mode: The Castle

(1/2) > >>

Hoja Lateralus:
Hi everyone, new on the forum, glad to be here ;)
I have an idea for a new game mode - called The Castle. In this mode one side would attack the castle using ships (regular ships and teams like in other game modes) and the other would defend the castle from the ground (to make it fair you can for instance make most of the castle's guns heavy). To make things easier the castle can be located on the high hill (it's better for both sides). Castle have a "hull" with fixed value of hp which can't be repaired (or can be but in a limited way). I see two possible winning conditions:
-Game after certain period of time ends - if the castle stands then defenders win (if it doesn't - game ends quicker)
-Or there is no time limit but the attacking team has limited respawn points - and if the atacking team doesn't manage to destroy the castle (they die trying). I don't know how to prevent attackers from prolonging the game when they know they are going to loose so the first option is probably better.
Also I wonder what would captains do in defender team. Perhaps they wouldn't take part in the games?

If the castle doesn't require repairs, what keeps the defenders from putting the best gun combination on there and never leaving them?

Hoja Lateralus:
Well the castle may be attacked from different sides with different power (I intended it to be 3v3 or more game, so you can have three ships atacking from three sides or else). Of course if castle doesn't require captains it would have less people on it - only engineers (to repair guns) and gunners.

Having a gamemode that practically prohibits the use of one class makes me sad. It's an interesting idea (and you could tie it into the city of Anvala lore wise), but it would need to be able to incorporate all 3 classes before I'd truly consider it

Basically this. Even if there is an interesting way to do repairs, the lack of a pilot will still make defense uninteresting.
