The Age Old Question:

[leroy]

One of the ideas I had was if ?go piobase was used for basing. Three entrances, a semi-covered race to the flag at the start and such. However, it needs a lot of work to be a TWL map, the flag room and mid base are sorely lacking proper tiling, but the initial idea is rather decent. Three entrances (more accessible than boki's) means there's more emphasis in controlling further and further down the base rather'n retreating to a solid choke point. Which then means a side has a harder job defending (but easier than attacking still).

Meh, it's just a thought.

I think the map is the problem too.

To me there is no problem I'd like to remain playing the game I choose to play the way it it is.

NO thanks to Mass-Eating Javs killing ur terr.

This was proposed earlier by someone. (ages ago actually) I think the little blocks where terrs sit in cram should be removed. This way the attacking sharks could rep people away from cram and it would be a lot easier to get in. Maybe we could see some lining for a change.

You posted this to our forums, yet I dont see it here so may I ...

Kuukunen actually has a point, that would make it a bit funner, at least in my opinion

[Fit of Rage]

that's what crv suggested, only the blocks would be like "doors" and disappear every 10 seconds or so. So you would have that set up that pred posted above just long enough for shark reps to force the enemy out of cram but not too long as to cause chaos and a completely blown-open base.

Random timer on blocks so that they disappear once every 10-60 (for optimal range, play few games) seconds, and not in synch, so that it can be either side that is open, or both one after another.
Blocks gone for something like 1-5 seconds should do the trick

[Evul Fly]

umm bring more randomness to the games? :grin:

[Mutton]

I'm a total newbie, so I know my opinion counts for next to nothing, but wouldn't a 4 spider limit just be an extension of the logic behind the 2 shark limit? From what I understand, the 2 shark limit is to a) prevent unbreakable 3-shark crams, and b) stop basing from turning into a retarded sumo tournament. So there is some precedent for using a ship type limit in order to keep basing interesting.

I like this idea, but if it isnt the random blocks there i dont like it. Its stupid if the blocks are never there.

[PredatoR_FNM]

The main fault with random blocks are is when your terr is there when there is not block and block comes "back", your terr will be warped to spawn area, same with other ships.

So forget it.

[CrvenBan]

Yea I did mean random but within a certain range, so ie 1st time they (also each block would have its own timer) disappear after 35 seconds, 2nd time 17 seconds from that, 3rd time 48 seconds from that, 4th time 12 seconds from that...and so on...


I don't know what the perfect range for that would be, but it shouldn't be too fast, like once in 5 seconds, neither too slow, once in 5 minutes

Well, that's the risk everyone would have to take in account, it would make things even more interesting
