Danke: What I miss is a willingness to try something out, be it for a short period (maybe only on some specific maps at first), or on a paralell server.
As a builder, I often find the game unbalanced towards attackers, with these continuously running up the same tunnels and attacking from the same hideouts. Yes; a good defensive team could help me there, but I tend to join the weaker team in order to balance the game, and I often find half my team building swastikas or doing other interior decoration. I could also root them out myself, but in the meantime the tower would not be built / repaired.
If I could run up to the tunnel used last and mine it (before continuing to build), then the opponents would have to show some care and caution ehen approaching to attack tower.
I am sure that the current mins script would need some balancing, but without ever trying, there would be no way to know whether this would work.
And… to by honest, I percieve that one problem with AOS today is stagnation. Not much new to try out and learn for the “oldtimers”
I am the same way, that I like to join the team with the weakest tower, and help build. It is frustrating to try to get a tower started, or improved, and getting sniped 10 times before you can even lay one new block.
Then you go chase down the people sniping you down for a while, then the tower is not getting built.
Any new map needs to be balanced, and any new idea to balance the current ones better would be interesting to.
Layering like OP sounds like an interesting idea if it’s not too much like the octopus map - direct access to the tower from the enemies who can then dig under it.
but… what Mines script are you talking about?
The blue blocks are mines, get too close and they will explode. Mines can set off other mines, resulting in chain reactions and more substantial damage.
Mines can be de-fused by digging them out from a safe distance.
