This type of game could be for tournaments - perhaps with a set of small groups, with each player in a group playing each other player, 'home' and 'away'. Winners progress to a 'finals' group.

New tournament idea |
Lead | ||

I have often though it would be nice to play very asymmetrical games e.g. 20 FPs of Marines defending a bunker, surrounded by 40 FPs of Spawn. One way to do this is to have two battles, with players swapping roles, then aggregating the result (either total score, or points for winning, drawing and losing). This way the competition is fair, without the necessity of exactly balanced battles.

Wohoo !
Oh YES PLEEEEEZE !!! That would be BRILLIANT One thing though. 40FP of Spawn might be a bit extreme. 30FP might be better. Although I suppose it depends on how defensible the bunker is. I'm sure there will be some map experts out there who could make some very defensible bunkers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Quote: Although it's done with equal point battle's even steven's Militia league does this to some degree. I think it would be a good idea. Sort of like playing the single player missions except against the computer. I'd be in that. Is this something you are intending to implement? |

Despite this adding to my already high game load I'd love to take part!

Defending against Spawn attacks makes for some of my favourite games. I would be interested in that.
I've always wondered what it would be like to play a game where one side has an FP handicap. I suppose the difference could then be added to the small forces score, to give the defender a headstart, and encourage the attacker to go on the rampage. |

Re: Muppets | #7 | ||

Yes it would be fun outside of tournament play. Results of past games could be used to alter the handicap...hopefully it would find the right level after a while.
The match play described could also be used to eliminate the effect of any preceived imblance in maps. Which would give the map makers more options. |

Re: Muppets | #8 | ||

Very much in agreement with Count Zero -- I'd love the opportunities this would create for (for example) a near-impregnable fortress that you could fill with 15 FP of Marines to take on a 100 FP Spawn army... don't worry about the Spawn score, just see how many points the Marines can score before they die.

Yes, I'd play this type of game ... wish the option were in the web game setup.
(with specific maps that are used for this type of game, of course) I guess I'll play in a tournament of this type if that's what we get though! |

What would be REALLY good is if you could challenge a certain person to a predefined match like this from the web client
Imagine if you could choose the map, the number of FP and the races. And have this all predefined before you sent the challenge. That would be great. PS Kaleb, Paleblackness and I did something like this before in our 'Grudge' matches. It was great fun but it was a bit of a hassle organising it. Now if it just could be made easier... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: New tournament idea | #15 | ||

sounds like a great idea... and the idea could easily be expanded upon... to involve different races...
i have often thought that some water tile sets would be cool, then you could have a situation where, say, the marines, have to storm a couple of bridges to get across a river vs machina... or something. ![]() |

Re: New tournament idea | #17 | ||
Quote: Snap. Although I wasn't planning on waiting for an addition to the tileset. With a little imagination you can create a decent enough bridge over water effect with the tiles available. Here's one I'm toying with atm.. Great idea for a tournament by the way! As Brootal says, the switching sides works very well in Militia league. Add the Aliens-style swarm of bugs and it should be great fun. |
