Author Topic: Starting A Fortwars Server Soon  (Read 1945 times)

In the meantime before the server is up leave a reply with some suggested add ons I should add.

Make it a mini-fort wars. Everything is the same, except people are smaller by default

Maybe But I'm still thinking about a normal fort wars

Good luck.
Fortwars is the hardest server to do well and right.

You could be one of the first to do something with this

A way to limit bricks on a Fort Wars server would give players an objective to work towards and an obstacle to work around.

Please also consider a height limit; something like 55 plates tall (36 bricks/4 blockheads).

I like both of these suggestions, especially the first:

Also, there's been this idea of team-based fortwars. Each team has a large pre-built primary base with a flag placed inside, and each team can build defensive/offensive forts around the modter map.

Yes! And the brick scavenger mod would make sure there's no bloated over-powered bases. If someone else doesn't jump on this, i might.

Fort wars is a gamemode with huge potential, but almost always piss poor execution.

Most people just throw a blank/sparse map, and make people build their own individual forts, while combat is happening.
It just turns into a mess of people screaming "OMG I WAS BUILDING", people just dming with no fort involvements, arbitrary alliances, etc
Even worse is when they're able to spawn whatever weapons/events they want

The best (admittedly I haven't played them often or in a while) fort wars I played was split into two teams, the map just a couple (very large) floating platforms with a gap between them, and the match split into two phases: a build phase, and a combat phase.

i would be glad to help out with this if you'd like. it would give me something to do instead of being bored on BL

I might take this up over the Christmas break as during school the less distractions the better obviously. Every time i host or co-host i sink into the server colossal hours of development and playtime which during school would be much better utilized, y'know, studying.


snip.

This is why ours is the best.
It fixes all of this and more.

the fact that players can have a 400 extra HP shield on the server is kind of annoying imo

Fortwars was one of the gamemodes pretty much ruined by v21
