OK well after Deathmatch and CtF (Capture the Flag)..I though it'd be good to model the good old assault into SoaSE.
Now to make it as lovable as possible..I would like your comments on the following proposition.
Assault:
Players: 2 (1 attacker, 1 defender)
Game Time: 30 mins max
Layout: 6 planets in the following manner
(DEFENSE 1)
(HW1) (DEFENSE 2) ------Plasma Storm ---- (HW2)
(DEFENSE 3)
As in HW1 (defender) has 3 completely dead asteroids (the three defenses..) connected to his homeworld! Each will contain a basic defensive wall (ie. 1 hangar defence, 8 Static D's and 1 repair bay). Those 3 defenses link up to the plasma storm (neutral ground) and then you get the HW2 (attacker).
HW1 will contain Basic DOME starter pack (all labs, a cap ship factory, the timer and a planetary shield generator) BUT with 2 frigate factories instead of one!
HW2 will contain the Attackers DOME pack (only 4 military labs to start, the planetary shield generator (see below for special rules), a cap ship factory) but they get 3! frigate factories.
The Defense worlds will only allow for DEFENSIVE STRUCTURES! NO LOGISTICS SLOTS!
RULES: Like any DOME related games..both teams start with a countdown timer of 10 minutes which stops all phase travel until it blows! So during that time both teams can start preping up with their fleets, researches (attacker can build more labs if he wants). The reason I said there was a 30 minute game time max is because the Attacker will have an Ultima Blast located on his planet which triggers after 30 minutes (minus ten from the countdown) and will kill him!
But to counter that, the Attackers planetary Shield Generator can spawn Swerlon Disruptor's, a moderatly fast yet weak and unharmed vessel whose aura dissables any ability in the AoE. In order words, lead that vessel to the defenders Planetary shield generator (after you busted through his defense of course...or straight away if you like rushes) then use your planetary shields generator to launch the Death Ray (name to be determined) on the opponents planet!
I am aware that the defender will not die from the blast (since he still has a few asteroids with only static D) ut with his industries gone...youll have no issue mopping up!
NOW!!! The great particularity about Assault is that units are FREE!! Yes you heird right! Every unit will be free (Static D's and Researches will still have a cost!) thus you will get EXTREME CLASHES! Epic battles..like you would get trying to breach a fortress!
PS: NEED HELP FOR ONE ISSUE! Can I make an ability that gives extra slot points???? Reason for this is I want the three defenses to give the defender an extra bonus to slot count! So that losing one of them would be a waste!
So what do you guys think??? Sound good?
