Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
I agree with Thermo... I like the effect of random maps (and placement). It gives aggressive players a chance for an early win. Although, I am a very conservative player by heart... I think one thing I will definitely learn from these games is how to attempt an early victory. By nature, I avoid early wars because it hurts expansion way too much.
Tesco- what types of "custom maps" did you have in mind, and how in your opinion would they be designed for 2 players?
One thing that comes to mind is to use small maps, to expedite games.

Well, 1FSTCAT and I had just started to rock and roll on turns when the server went down.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
you can randomly create the map... and have two defined starting positions...
Then change the warp points... So that each empire is say located at a good distance away from each other... And add some surprises... Also maps can be reused by changing the warp points... And then you can also have players replay maps etc... to see what the outcome will be later on....

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Geo-
On the KOTH page, I definitely see the need for a "Successful Title Defenses," or "Defended the Hill" column. This will track victories at the top, which is the most important stat.
What do you think?
Onward to glory.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Yeah, I would agree with StoneMill. Near the KOTH box there may be top 3 kings displayed that defended the Hill maximum number of times and the players' stats link would be available near that to see the score of all players.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
It would truly be brutal if, right in the middle of one "King of the Hill" match, a third player suddenly entered and helped one player double-team and beat the King. Of course, that would end up in multiple feuds, tag team matches, and long-running game grudges and such.
Pity it is beyond the game's programming..at least yet.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Not Really you could have neutural players in the game and the host could randomly activate them. But I think that would be another tourneament./contest

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Cheeze,
I'm amazed that everything in life can be reflected in a Professional Wrestling analogy.
Just because we are the Galactic Tag Team Champs of "Duplicity" does not mean you can clobber someone with a steel chair from behind while doing their SEIV turn!
