idea for a new game mode: two flames.

Roman Porretta 7 years ago updated by Storm Crow 7 years ago 4

there are two round stone places that resemble the roman colloseum on opposite sides of the map

there is a fire in each.

you must keep your teams flame burning, lest a massive swarm of shadows, goblins, and bears come to destroy your team


thats the basic idea

now here are the more complex parts

the flame starts out large, but begins shrinking

wood is scarce, and you might need to fight over it

you can build things with wood, like defense posts and stuff.

the bigger the flame, the stronger your teams members get.

its at night, so you must take torches to light your way.

there are 4 "bosses" that respawn a while after they are defeated. 

the bosses are:

a big guy with a huge shield, axe, and has armor

a spooky horse beast that moves fast

a blob thing that can absorb other players to get bigger

a magic guy that shoots magic juice that hurts your bones

(if you want, devs, you could implement more bosses and have a random selection)

killing a boss will allow you to collect an item that when put into your flame allows it to grow bigger from less wood.

if all else fails, you can sacrifice yourself to the flame to keep it burning, but you dont respawn, you just spectate until the flame goes out, after which you resurrect as a powerful flaming version of yourself to hold off the monsters and protect your team until they can make it to the other base, after which you act as a guardian 

only one guy can sacrifice themselves to the flame

black team cant be hurt by monsters, but needs to put out both flames to win.

if the flame goes out and you die, you dont respawn.

the only way for a team to win is to get their flame to be a big as the Colosseum its set in

Ok so the things I didn't like about this post:
  • Instead of 2 stones, there should be 1
  • Why exactly do we need torches?
  • Instead of your bosses, you can use ogres and yetis
  • No resurrection, that's just weird
  • Everyone on a team except for the last player should be able to sacrifice themselves
  • Black team shouldn't be in this game mode
  • The only way for a team to win should be to eliminate the other team's fire and kill them

Good idea though!

Well actually there should be 2 stones, my bad

Interesting idea. I definitely agree with all of Jashin's/Toke's ideas. The one problem I see is how the teams would be managed...would it be a gamemode like fort, or would a certain number of people join, like football?
