Implement Cross Continental Capture the Flag ?

Bloodroot · 2012-11-20, 01:15 AM

There have been a lot of people talking about how certain empires will congregate to certain continents and throw off population balance...

Imagine if each continent had a empire wide stat boosting object of some type in each warp gate. And you were able to steal that object once you conquered the continent but then it ensued a continent wide chase to try to get it back to your warp gate via tank max speed(like a LLU).

My question is would this force more people to go defend when a big red flash comes up on the screen THE PROTOSS HAVE SEIZED YOUR ANTI-MATTER FIELD GENERATOR INCREASE YOUR AIR UNIT COSTS BY 10%!! (or whatever)

This was just a thought...

I like it.

I would like to see more differences like the LLU or power nodes that you can take to your base for bonuses. Add LLUs and a capture the flag idea, add more ways to capture bases. I think that is why so many of us enjoyed PS1 is the different ways to capture bases. Gen drain, Hacks, LLUs, simply hacking, great times. Just taking over a capture point in a base can get boring quick.

It's one thing to like it or not like it. The only valid question is:
will one like playing it ?

Might be fun once or twice but it would screw up the rest of the game and it would concentrate the population too mush resulting in server instability.
