The New TWSD (twsdx)

[RiiStar]

My main issue with the arena however, is how the ship settings are so extremely different from the usual spider settings (base). I personally would like to see the normal base-spider settings in TWDSX. It seems very confusing to have four different arenas using four different spider settings. Base and TWSDX use fixed energy damage, but the two have entirely different ship settings. Duel and TWSD both use random energy damage, but they too have entirely different ship settings. My suggestion is to use the base spider settings, since these have been used for a really long while, and are very well balanced.

They are base settings except for the brick, anti-warp and attach...
The only other difference is the speed penalty for attach and flag carrier and thrust penalty for flagger also... which im removing the speed decrease for flagger with next update.

Though to be noted, while the flagger speed decrease is gone, theres still
a penalty for thrust so u cant thrust and run for the whole game.

I'm diggin' this stuff. It'll be the new popular division. Might eventually take the wb's place as top. But not any time soon due to stubbornness and "vet" players.

I'm also surprised how fun 5v5 spid has become. Good job.

Suggestion - we could use ?go Webcrawler.
Webcrawler is hardly hosted but it's a good map, should promote it and use it as a new twsd map.


Here's what it looks like, yes it's designed for 4 teams.


Enlarged.


Could delete the top/bottom parts to make it 2team map.

I always thought spiders would only be a good league if you made them one shot kills, made them faster, painted them gray, and then changed the arena to a rectangular style arena with asteroids in it.

this game is awesome, they were testing it today with a brick prized every 20 seconds it was awesome gameplay so much fun i cant wait 5v5 SWEET!

I started playing this tonight and couldn't stop
This is something new and something that takes some skill to get use to
I think it's awesome, I'm terrible but would think tw would grow to play this as we play jds and dds and bds; it's got some strategy that could be applied

My personal manual for TWSDX

Subspace/Continuum - SSCU Trench Wars - ?go twsdx

-3z-

To win TWSDX your team must have most points by the end of the timer.
In this game you have to get points. While your team has the flag, each kill that the same team gets, provides 30 pts.
The team without the flag just gets 10 pts per kill.

Riistar was the host for this nice test.

My strategy was to make macros, using shift+FX, while X means a number between F1-F12.
Example macros:
"Brick F4!"(just a reminder, since this is a new game, we need a macro to remember our own team that each life gets a new brick for protection)
"Stay alive!"(while your team does !not! have the flag, and is panicking.(panicking in twsdx just gets the enemy team more points)
"Stay alive and arm a plan to get the enemy !flag holder!!"
"Kill Kill Kill!, and protect flag holder!"(while your team does !have! the flag)

About map and settings I see them just as the game is, and changing the game doesn't necessarily make it funnier to play.

I also really enjoyed TWSDX, and I like the map as well. It seems that more strategy is growing around two corners (upper right and lower left - especially upper right) - maybe the other corners should be tweaked a bit to see if they take?

Edit - And I realize that those two corners are the same, it just seems like upper right was easier to coordinate.

Any suggestions for edits to the other corners?
I was outta ideas...
