Area control rules
By Tech — Comments (0)
on Dec. 13, 2010 inLast week introduced a fun set of battle rules to the game. The aim of the next couple of campaigns is to balance the battle rules with area control rules that provide bonus points for holding the conquered territory.
Here are the rules we're introducing today:
- Harvesting while in warp is back in a new form! You can harvest your own Dominators while in warp if you're not warped too far from your physical location. The range is roughly the area shown in the cloud view: you can harvest Dominators that you can see in the cloud view from your current physical location.
- Dominators charge at faster pace so you have more chances to harvest them while holding your territory.
- A new game mechanism: Eruption. Each conquered Gateway in the world erupts hourly releasing energy to Mages near enough to capture it. To capture the energy:
- The Gateway needs to belong you to your team
- You need to have a Dominator attached to the Gateway
- You need to be online and physically near enough to the Gateway. Once again the range is roughly the range of cloud view. So, if you can see the Gateway from your physical location in the cloud view, you can capture its energy.
We are looking to balance these new rules with the existing fight rules to provide a fun gaming experience. As always, we are looking for your thoughts and feedback.
