Fortress Test Server

For things that have to do with those crazy test servers... and yeah. By request of z-man, and, of course, you gotta obey...

i really do not see the digging problem in fortress and rare times it happen it is just funny in a dog-fight, like every move not abused.
i think the fortress element naturally limits murder fights in the grid and this allow us to not be worry about "strange behaviours".
i mean that since the objective is to conquer the enemy zone, you will not expect a player to camp or build sculptures in arena corners.
so, except newbies and bots, everyone will use moves server allow him/her to use to conquer that zone and win the round.
however lowering rubber is somewhat i would like to try. several times me and madmax enjoyed 2 rubber sumo.
also CYCLE_WIDTH (if still exists) could be interesting to play with.
in these day i want to work on a new map, i hope it will be ready as soon as possible to show you.

Another thing that came up a while ago (but wasn't tried I think), was to make the rubber not to refill, and you'd have a fixed amount to spend during the round.
Maybe that could bring some more tactics to the grid :D

Also, I'd like to see people aiming for sharp turns more often... as opposed to just fixing with the giant amount of rubber :P

I mean, look at the gameplay on the rubberless server. No place for corrections. You either turn at the right time, or pretty much die.
A fortress server closer to this would be great to try IMHO.

Grind corrections are for the weak!

This would be awful for high pinged players =/

I don't see
the walls being
used much
at all
so I
am not sure
what a circular grid
would change

Perhaps an
infinite grid?

A circular grid would just lead to a stalemate or middle attacks as people would just block the sides...

LOL

max as fun as nexus9 is...you need at least some rubber for irregularities/lag etc

idea: when a team conquers a fortress the opponent team's members die. (like it happens in sumo)

yea i already thought about this

except if you're playing 4-team fort ;)
