Do you know Balanced Annihilation Chicken Defence ? It is a coop mod of Balanced Annihilation where players have to survive 100 waves of alien attacks. The waves are bigger and stronger with time, until the final one where the Queen attacks ! This game mode is quiet funny. It is about to turttle and actually a tons of players like to turttle. And as it is a coop mode it is easy to bring new player in it. it is a smooth way to make them discover the game the unit. I have no idea to do a server mod like this, so if someone has the skill and is looking for an idea
Sound good. I was thinking that you could have invulnerable Teleporters linking your planet to AI planets. which only the AI could use, with all orbital units disabled.
Well, you could try to put the AI commander somewhere safe with x0. With create unit cheat you could create the waves, but the AI might decide to turtle up instead of attacking. There are still some mystery values in the AI personalities, perhaps one controls aggressiveness.
Or Have it be pvp were one team is the "Alien Attackers" and one team is the defenders The attackers have cheats so they can just spawn in units, but they can only spawn in a certain amount every round
Uber wants to give us tools to create misions and campaigns in PA, so with that should be easy to create survival maps
TBH, it could be possible later, with AI scripting to use orbital and stay on one planet and try a teleporter invasion every so often, while restricting orbital from the player build. Because they will surge harder and harder each try to land. Trust me. They did it to me by now.
