The Battle Island w/player created structures.

[EVILPIG]

I've been holding this one back for a while, but I'm going to put this out now, though incomplete. Perhaps you can help with the design.

One thing that may change things up would be to have conditions on some of the new conts. This could be compared to the old Battle Islands and how they had different rules for what weapons and vehicles were allowed there. Just as new conts could have hazards, like Hossin's killer vines that attack players.

This continent would be a huge island. The island would be a mix of desert and jungle with rolling terrain that leads up to a volcanic cone in the center of the map. The volcano has jungle and trials that lead up the outside, too steep and dense for vehicles to climb. ATVs can maneuver the trails. The inside of the volcano has similar switchbacks leading down inside the volcano. Down in the depths of the volcano lies the sole capture point for the Island. The rest of the island is a wild expanse.

The foothold for each empire, is a massive offshore structure, similar to an oil rig. From this rig, a new amphibious vehicle can be spawned. The new vehicle can carry troops and deploy on the shoreline where it can act as a vehicle spawn. War waged across the cont must be waged from here. Any spawns must be imported and positioned as the empires fight for control of the Island. Basically, this is a huge sandbox where the players determine where the structures are. If outfit bases are implemented, this is a great place to use them. If not, allow the players to use Sundies or build little fire bases to operate out of. Either way, it would be wide open and always changing.

The amphibious vehicles would have some weaponry for defense. The primary defense for the shoreline deployment would be turrets on the rig which would be able to hit targets near the shore, but not further onto the island.

Finally, when the island is captured, the volcano erupts and wipes out anything inside the crater and would rain lava on the outside of the cone.

I'm open to any discussion.
