Yet another idea presented by Tiny that I thought is worth bringing up here on the forums for discussion.
We are all familiar with the concept of squad arenas. Most likely in the past you?ve been in a squad that has, at some point, uploaded a dedicated home arena.
Sometimes you will see these as public arenas. (?go paladen, ?go final, ?go pallies)
Other times they are hidden as privs (?go #value, ?go #light, ?go #elusive)
Public arenas would sometimes see events hosted (Paladen birthday events), and privs are/were generally used for practice rounds before a league match.
We think it could be fun to allow squads to create their home arenas and actually play TWD matches on home ground.
The arenas would be clones of the twdd/twjd/twbd arenas with one simple change.. the sprite for the tileset. All tiles remain the same but their colors can change to match the branding of a squad.
A great example of this is ?go #mambo. See screenshot below:
The bots would need some tweaks but we imagine it could work as follows:
MatchBot8> !challenge <squad>:<players>:<arena> - request a game of TWJD against <squad> with <players> in <arena>
So !challenge Rage:3:monster would send a 3v3 challenge to Rage that would take place in ?go monster.
Maps and ships would need to be submitted and approved of course.
Maps would need to be a clone of twdd/twjd/twbd arenas so MatchBot warpto commands continue to work correctly. Only the sprite should change.
What do you think?
