New game modes?

Postby Cheekie Monkie » Sun 28 Sep, 2014 10:25 am

Yes, yes, I'm aware that new game modes are probably the last thing on the developers' minds, but I've always been curious as to what can be done to refresh this old game; there's also so much victory point counting you can do before you want to try something new (within the DoW universe, of course). Last stand and TFFA had its moments, but what else can be done?

For me, I've always been curious about a 'heroes mode', in which you play a normal victory point scenario, but with two or three of the faction's heroes instead of the usual one, with one commander being the warlord in which you'd pick your globals from. For example, I might pick the Warlock and the WSE, opt the Warlock as my chosen warlord and thus have access to only his globals.

Do you have any ideas for any crazy and/or fun game modes? It doesn't have to be balanced and it doesn't mean that it'll be implemented before 2030, it just has to be fun and/or crazy. 5v5? 10v10? Let yourself loose.

I would like to see a 3v3 with only a single Victory Point in the middle.

Just play that armageddon map thingy with the three island structure, where the central VP is in the middle of the middle island the two natural VPs are practically impossible to DECAP, nevermind cap.

If you mean Armageddon River Crossing, that is indeed my favourite map.

So you suggest a DoW II MOBA? One of them existed yonks ago (years and years ago) but nothing of the sort remains. If there was one I would look into it, but I find MOBAs hateful.
The internal battery has run dry, the game can now be played. However, clock based events will no longer occur.
