Extreme Funmaps

[Seraph07]

The map Strolling (viewtopic.php?f=34&t=1811&p=24574) is very hard so survive, but some players like the map.
Strolling is still in the testing area where is no pointawarding and without skillawarding the map could be a part of CreepTD?

The idea is to have some "hard to survive"-maps in comon, without skill- and only with experiencepointsawarding.

What? Hard funmaps without skillpoints, only xp.
Why? This would make CreepTD more interesting and give a longer range to make players happy.
How? Creating one extra district and flag the map as special maps.
Cons? CreepTD could be to confusing for new players.
Fix the cons? Only let players with >100xp the maps play.

What do you think about the suggestion, please post your opinion and maybe a constructive review.

Ich finde die Idee nett. PlanB ist für mich auch eine funmap, nicht extrem, aber dennoch ziemlich zufallsbedingt halt und Strolling gehört da auf jeden fall rein. Ich würde es toll finden, wenn noch mehr maps dieser Art entworfen werden. Wichtig dabei ist, dass diese Art von maps ohne Skill sind oder es einen Schalter gibt für Skill ja/nein, da einige Spieler sehr skillbezogen spielen!

finde die idee auch gut. kann auch gerne ein paar maps machen. Ich würde die idee mit den 100 xp aufgreifen. 1. wieder ein kleiner schritt gegen twinks und außerdem bringt das die leute dazu länger am spiel zu bleiben.

So the question arises:
What/who dictates what an extreme funmap will be?


Is it predetermined by the opinions of the admin?
Is it a certain number of rounds on a high score list? (average 12?)
Is it a matter of public opinion?
Will it be an algorithm (X number of splits, and average of path squares/map space, an average of distance between all path segments?

With the extra flag being set for the map, could the extra flag allow for a different income scale? such as +5 or 10%
Or a higher starting income?

Could this be set on a per map basis as a map attribute? or have a game creator slide bar start option like there was in the survivor games a while back?

Will this mean that more maps that were dismissed as "too hard" initially, now be testable?

Thank you all for the feedback.

What/who dictates what an extreme funmap will be?

A extreme funmap is a map where we have a high randomfactor.

Is it predetermined by the opinions of the admin?

The community has an perceivable opinion wich influence the decision of the team, but in the end the team decides how the maps change theire category.

Is it a certain number of rounds on a high score list? (average 12?)

This can be an criterion, but we have atm no authentic outcome.

Is it a matter of public opinion?

If the community notice some maps and starts a change request, the team will answer and/or change the category.

Will it be an algorithm (X number of splits, and average of path squares/map space, an average of distance between all path segments?

Atm there is no conception how the algorithm should work, because it is in the end a subjektive decision.

With the extra flag being set for the map, could the extra flag allow for a different income scale? such as +5 or 10%
Or a higher starting income?

If I understand this right, you cannot change the pointawarding in the creating time.

Yes this could be a possible result.
