Default first post: block life for league matches

i never heard anything final about game size, 5v5 or 6v6? with this many people it would be easy to all go soldier and shoot out a peice in notime. is it even possible for a builder to repair faster than 6 soldiers can dish out the dmg?

this been discussed already?

Yeah - I'm amazed that shooting down blocks hasn't destroyed the game. If a team just agrees to shoot out a block, they rarely lose.

And a builder can barely repair while two soldiers are hammering away, let alone 6.

Somewhat. The final game size is probably going to be 5v5, but we'll have class limits. Yes, a single builder would be overwhelmed by 5 or 6 soldiers firing on the same block, but you wont see that many soldiers in a game at one time.

That said, since the crash bug will be fixed, builders will be able to build in combat again, making block-killing a less effective tactic.

Standard league play is usually 5 vs. 5, and this seems to be fine for SourceForts.

Default thumbs up

entro, you mentioned class limits, this gonna be coded into sf, admin mod or just the honor system? i would def like to see something like this for the league. maybe 2 soldier max?

and what about block life? could 2 soldiers kill a block faster than a builder can repair? if not, how long does it take?

with the shadows on some maps it is sometimes impossible to see that the peice is damaged.

The plan is to have it hard-coded into the game.

Block life will probably be different in league play than it will be in regular SF. I can't give you any specifics because they just don't exist yet.

Like on valley? That's a bug and hopefully it'll be fixed on all official maps. Custom maps would need to be approved by league admins before use in matches.

that would be interesting to force 1 class each. maybe be an experiment ladder rather than the actuall ladder.

would be kinda fun to have certain strategic rules foced, and the teams have to adapt thier strats to it.
