So I guess you'd have a king or something at the beginning, and you step on a flag for X game type?

Slayer & Team Slayer
Each player or team must reach a certain amount of kills in this game to win. In team slayer, the amount of kills will be added together (using a flag system). The host will be able to choose how many kills it takes to end the game.

King of the Hill
This game, IMO, will be the best (because this was the first game type I thought of). Basically, a player must control the center hill for a certain amount of time to win the game. Sounds simple, but gets more complicated. Only one person can control the hill at one time. Meaning, the first person to reach the hill controls it, and until he has no units left on the hill, he will continue to control it. Once he is killed, the person who is in the hill controls the hill, etc. There is a timer that keeps track of how long each player stays in the hill.

Neutral Flag & Team Neutral Flag
I thought about making a unit hold a flag, but decided that it would be way too complicated... So instead, there will be one "neutral" flag in the middle, and the first player to reach it will have a flag spawn in their base. They must control it for 5 minutes to score. In team neutral flag, a separate team base will be available. Host will be able to choose the number of points needed to win.

Thanks for your interest!

A relic would make sense, so you had to use a monk.

Aww, crap. sharrky beat me.

Anyways, it looks like it will turn out looking pretty well.

KotH I'm still working on getting it perfect.. Neutral Flag shouldn't be that hard to work out.

Condition: Accumulate Attribute Player 1: Kills 1
Effect: Player 1 Tribute Kills 1 (Use AOKTS for this part)
Effect: Tribute Player 1 to Gaia -2 Food
Effect ^^ P2 ^^
Effect ^^ P3 ^^
effect ^^ P4 ^^
Effect: Tribute 1 Food From P1 to gaia
Effect: Tribute 1 Food from P2 to gaia
Effect: ^^ P3
Effect: ^^ P4

Now for every kill you gain a food. Set a player to "Accumulate X food" then set it as a victory condition?

Assuming the teams are P1-4vrsp5-8 or something.

I use this in my RPG for party level ups. Kill ratio won't work, or you could just use kills in general if you don't have AOKTS to donate to everyone for a better team oriented game.

8 Triggers (assuming one for each player).

Plus 2 more for each team (since you really are just using the food to donate to show where you are as a team).

The two more would go like this:

Condition: P3 Accumulate Attribute X Food
Effect: P1 Tribute X food to gaia
Effect: P2 ^^
Effect: P3 ^^
Effect P4 ^^

With that said, good luck. I hope you use my idea, you can give me credit if you want, but I don't really care. Just don't say "I TOTALLY CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA, NO ONE ELSE DID!" That would just be mean.

Edit: Thx Cesar, that's cleared up a lot of things.

With CTF, why don't you have it so the flag is in a mini base, like just a palisade square with only 3 sides (So you can get in ) And the other player gaurds that flag... And when a unit from that team dies (FF Obviously) they respawn somewhere else, so you have to kill the defenders, get the flag, it respawns in your base, and the other team tries to take it back etc. etc. etc.

I'm gonna either do that, OR make it so the flag is actually a relic and each player has 1 respawning monk that they have to try to get the "flag" and take it back to their base before someone kills the monk. I'm not sure which way I'm gonna do it yet, though.

Progress update: King of the Hill settings and 90% of triggers complete! (by that I mean victory conditions and hill control etc... I still have to add in all the unit spawning triggers). Next on list: Slayer/Team Slayer, and then Neutral flag!

edit: Screenshots now available! More will be added as progress continues...

I agree.

A quick suggestion. You might not want to make it so that the host has an entire 2 minutes for each option. Maybe 1 minute? Players might get aggrivated if the host goes slower then molasses. It's a small, nearly unnoticable addition to the game, but it might save a lot of ticked off players. I used to hate that when I played Warcraft III

Might be a good thing to add into your arsenal of tricks.

I'll also use the one minute idea, since 2 minutes is a bit long in AoE time.

I'm a good tester since I understand all of the triggers, and I am not another idiot just there for a game, I will observe all actions, and probably be able to figure out what happened, whether it be an unfinished trigger, or perhaps a looping trigger that causes an unfair advantage, etc.

Condition Accumulate Attribute: 1 Kills
Effect Tribute 1 Kills to Gaia [insert player here].

Loop it, and set it to boost a unit (MAKE SURE TO NOT LOOK AT THE LATTER EFFECT AKA The TRIBUTE KILLS), then you can make it give people perhaps food, or wood as a kill counter as well, or you can use the HP idea, which ever you want.

I also love the concept of this game, sharrky. Chalk me up to playtest if you ever need me. Even multiplayer playtesting (if you need to check and see if the triggers on players 2-8 work) I can do. It sounds really fun.

Actually, I think I just did!
