Fort Team Training Ideas 02-10

Post by Your_mom »

Some ideas for privately/publicly team training with minimum players. These are half thought out ideas i thought i'd share, constructive criticism welcome. Unwritten sections marked [n/a].

Advantages to training in these situations [n/a]

Mirror


In this imaginary set up, you're team fights itself. Basically The (imaginary)server gives you control of your counterpart on the other team.

After formation splits; Center goes head to head with his own centerdef/attack; Left and right wings face off against each other. Later on; surviving attackers come after defense/ sweepers/ midfielders.

Problems are center can choose to center attack defense without covering(this is also a feature to train def/sweepers to handle this situation). Also problems i haven't thought out in this hypothetical server/situation including sliding/networking mishaps.

Bots on Rails

In this imaginary set up, Bots on rails is implemented and so is fort ai. The (imaginary)server is set up with team gold having 1 or 2 players defending and team blue attacking(perhaps with 1 fort def ai). Teams are also set at 6 v 6

Team gold has 4 or 5 bots on rail following out some greatest hits of starting/splitting formations from great ladle teams on a rotating pattern. They turn into attacking fort ai after a pre determined time. Def sets up as usual and the optional sweep/def can assist in the grind or ignore it.

Team blue gets to try to outflank gold and attack its human def and attack ai.

Instead of Mirror, how about Offense vs Defense. Let's say you only have 4 players, you can do a defender and sweeper vs two attackers.
