Just out of curiosity... did anything ever come of this? I was kind of interested to see what it would end up feeling like in game.

I made a system that allows a dm to quickly make a battle scenario. It's made for Good vs Evil, but I'll try to make it generic enough for use in the UD, or for fights between War Knights and whatever they have a beef with this week.

The DM selects a string of areas, of which the first and last one automatically become starting points for both parties. In each area one to three objectives are placed. These can be pimped with placeables, or just be put next to some landmark that's already in the area. Just click in the area, pick an appearance and name it, and that's that.

Players start in one area, and conquer 'neutral' objectives in the direction of the opposite faction. They will meet somewhere in the middle and need to duke it out from there. <...snip>

We tried to do something like this during Silent's Brog event.

Winyans for that matter, hosted little war games where it was more like co-op battling where either side had a base and rushed inward to try and flank the other team. Not sure what good came out of it besides a bit of fun, and maybe also that this sort of thing can be organized player side without much trouble.

It's still in the works, but unfortunately some time after the last hak update had already gone in, we realized that one of the additional changes to finalize Disco's system... needed a hak update. So rather than hitting folks twice in quick succession, we decided to leave it for a bit until we had enough other stuff to warrant another full hak update.

Ah, gotcha. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes out.

As a PvP whore and shameless power gamer, I love it.

As someone who had to deal with the aftermath of battles on capture the flag type servers - hated the headaches after. I don't suppose it would be much different than the headaches already in existence whenever PvP/conflict occurs here.

Not everyone wears their grown up pants.

There is no such thing as a female PvP whore. Please don't lie.

Oh she's a whore, trust me.

Not sure about the PvP bit, though.

Don't suppose it would do me any good to express curiosity about the team's thoughts on when that hak update might drop? Or what sorts of other goodies are being considered for it?

Pretty shields, hopefully.

May the faction with most powerbuilds/gamers win!

Though not a particularly good power gamer (On NWN anyway) myself, I'm all for this.

Not for awhile yet I don't think. We've several other large projects on the go that are keeping us plenty busy.

Capture the Flag?
