Kill streak bonuses

[SCorpA1]

you all know there are now bonuses for killstreaks (like kill 10 tanks without dying)
and i dont want to see gold bonuses.
the idea is, that you get an ability or something else (you can use it only once) to call an artellery strike or orbital strike or something diffrent if you kill e.g. 10 players in a row.
just like in cod
here are some examples:
5 kills streak: troopbonus or troopspawn for a minute or special creep spawn at the base
10 kills streak: supply drop:drops a little box at tagret area which transforms to a little fac for 1min, then it explodes or similar
15 kills streak: you can call one artellery strike at a specific position with 1000 aoe and a delay by 10secs
etc etc

its not gold bonus, but it gives some tactical advantages

well it's good idea i like it

a nother idead is for 10 kills you get mine sweeper - it sends out 3 goblin defusers (clockworkers) invurnarable to defuse any enemy mine or for 5 kills it just sends a radio wave to defuse ally and enemy mines

There's no artillery strike in battle tanks and I doubt it will be.

It's insane idea imo which seems like it's based on my insane idea

i was more inspired by call of duty
but while i thought about this little extension i thought of your map, and thought: in this mod there are artellery strikes and they are good, so the original bt needs it too!

Dieing doesn't matter so much in MW2, you just respawn 1 second later. You can die tens of times in a few minutes.

However in Btanks, when you are killed, you have to wait for respawn time=less farming time, teleport cost to get back to the battle and of course, giving the enemy bounty.

The killer already has a huge advantage as you can see and further rewarding them is not necessary.


Someone's been playing too much MW2 lately.....but I have to admit, I've racked up over 45 hours already.. :lol:

I do not like these ideas.
I got the feeling it improves the imbalance in the game between noobs and pros.
The surviving pros get a much easier game as now...

And it's already easy against these noobs

[SCorpA1]

but if there is a noob team versus a pro team, the game is already decided. if there is a pro in each team (balanced teams) the pros can kill each other so they dont get thoose bonuses.
you should look at balanced games and decide if its imba or not
to make a lot of kills without dying is not easy and its risky. you easily can stop streak if they do just one bad action
the bonuses gives a lot more tactic into the game: try to get bonuses, stop others getting thoose bonuses and use the bonuses well eg to conquer a cp

also,
the bonuses also doesnt have to be too strong but with thoose ideas:
we can impletent more ideas in the game
and maybe giving sieging players an advantage, if they play well, so the endgame is not too long

I don't like the idea either. A killing streak bonus could boost camping and defensive gameplay :|

This will only tip the scales further for people who are ahead in the game. Sure raining artillery down with your streak bonus and running in after with your Demon Tank might be cool to you, but for the newbie trying to learn the game and sitting on his CP that's just annoying and very difficult (if not impossible) to counter. The gold advantage people get for making kills is more than enough.

or maybe just bonuses, which are good to siege the enemy base, so the sieging process could be shortened by the bonuses

we're already working on the sieging part against the enemy base in the late game. as its not quite clear which solution will be implemented, i can't give any more details.

maybe THIS is the solution, or maybe just a part of it
