So I have two game mode ideas in mind. I was thinking one without fog of war, and one where spawn points were limitless (would make things interesting) So its just a basic idea for fun, try not to get too technical about it, having an RTS that is highly customizable is amazing. I hope PA will allow many options. These are extras given without much thought, feel free to ponder upon them. -Flat maps -Commander fab only (can build factories but not the fabricators) -Limited buildings/unit population (If pa made it mandatory to have a unit cap I would not be happy and I wouldn't have bought it.) -No defenses -No economy -Commander only (can build the usual besides factories OR you could allow him to build everything, besides factories as usual) -Complete annihilation (in order to win you must kill every last unit. Buildings wouldn't be units) -Complete sandbox mode (I know this is probably going to be added but just being on the safe side, im talking building things instantly without fabricators) -Tanks only/Air only/Bot only etc... -Speedy game (fabricators work faster depending on a scale) and/or (unit walk speed is faster depending on scale) Thats about as much as I can think of for now. I have some spectator ideas -Being able to posses a unit and watch it first person (would make for some pretty awesome pictures) -Being able to control a unit (this is more of a gameplay thing but being able to run around in a unit first person, could make a game mode to where you could 1v1 someone else in a team deathmatch game or something!) -Being able to spectate what the person is doing/watching their cursor Thats pretty much it. *NOTE: Don't criticize these ideas to much. I am simply not demanding for them to be added as i'm aware that a majority of it is useless, just some fun ideas to think about.*
I would like to see some asymmetrical game types, like one team can only use booms and the other can only use commander. Or a tower defense type game where one team can't build units, just turrets and other defenses. So many possibilities.
What about Persistent map with commander respawning game mode, to make a small scale MMO experience. The game play would need some modding to make it fun.
