This will be about modes and -commands. To sum up what i think would add to btanks, introduce more 'mini-modes' chosen through typing commands.
I cant remember who suggested it; 3-4 minute rounds instead of 5 in normal mode.
This is small enough to not be another 'option' in the start-game menu, instead, using a -command to activate ingame. I believe that making the rounds quicker, doesnt really affect the amount of gold you get because in effect you are getting less, quicker.
For example, if you wanted normal, or rush, without traders/exploders etc, you'd have to go to custom mode. In fact, from what ive seen, a lot of people go to custom mode anyway, regardless of game mode just to select no exploders/tinkers. Im suggesting having the smaller modes SEPERATE from starting gold or levels. So in effect, all you would click on are starting gold and levels. Then after that, type in the 'side' modes you want, if any. To help, you could have a list of the mode commands listed for red. Or a universal command that brings it up which anyone can use. To finish off, give a countdown time or a button for red to press, once he is done choosing/typing in modes. Sure beats pausing the game.
This idea keeps btanks just as simple, if not simpler (one thing btanks is great for).
Ive always considered the -mode to be starting gold, levels and whether HB is on or off.
Now... some suggestions for side modes...
-ne : No exploder but also no EXPLOSIVES. Tinker can be fun/useful but makes a damn good replacement exploder.
-fr : Faster rounds - get your golds quicker
Remove hero higher bounty in HB mode (helps the feeder probelm, also pure win)
To summarise for importank btank lords:
- Simplify start-game menu to only starting gold and levels.
- Use typed -commands for all 'side' modes
- Introduce a time limit for choosing modes
I believe it would be a forward step for btanks, eventually.. At least consider the 'No Explosives mode' and 'No hero higher bounty in HB'..
VOTE. If you mostly like an idea and have something to save, vote anyway. GL HF.
