Definitely less bots and maybe more interesting landscapes would make this mode way more fun. I like the mechanic of starting as a monster, but the swarms mean that it's much more likely for a random bot to become a player than you

The first ruins map was the best. I would love to have it back in some sort of gamemode

If you join in the middle of a round, you should be a ghost until it everyone dies and it restarts. This idea is awesome! There could also be a map where ogres and yetis and imps spawn and the players, all on the same team, defend a fort or something. We could potentially incorporate many different game modes into this! Hell yeah!

You can't use weapon items while invisible - it would be too op to sneak up on the king and then bomb-rope-roll to instakill them

Players still go for the treasure box. A lot of players without accounts want a break from the axe, so they go to the pit. Then players that are going for gold just farm them with the sandworm :)

Rez is probably going to fix this at a later time. He's known about this glitch for a while, but right now he's busy working on ogres and capes

All armor should either give a balanced effect or only be for the look. This would decrease the skill involved, and players would just get better armor in order to beat everyone with less coins

Depends if I'm farming at the chest and how much I'm grinding to get gold. 15 - 20 minutes if I'm farming at the pit, 25 - 40 if not.

This is a really good idea, the only problem is figuring out what passive abilities there should be:

Speed buff

critical strike

Maybe some sort of defensive one: Sometimes an enemy hit does half damage? No damage?

Dash recharges faster

Any others we can think of?

Depends on how long the timer is and how balanced the teams are. If it's only 3 gold every captured flag, but the timer is only a couple of minutes and the teams are balanced, you'll get a modest amount of gold, but not too much. It would be much easier to farm gold from the sandworm pit, as you get about 15 gold almost every time you open the chest
