The fortress game is what is referred to when a map is built around the concept of a fortress zone. A fortress zone is an area that one team is supposed to defend against the other teams, while trying to capture the other teams' zones.

History

Proof of concept of Fortress mode was created by Z-Man, and is still in the works.

Objective

In this mode, your goal is to aquire your oposing teams "zone". To do this there are a number of stratagies.

Strategies

  • Use one or more players to defend your base looping around it and generally keeping the other team(s) out.
  • If theres more then 3 people on your team and your off to the side try turning off earlier so the guy in the center isn't stuck and will not end up plowing into an enimy wall.
  • Try bulldozing through the other teams offence using yourself as a kamikazi, you can blow a hole in the other teams defence and let another player on your team get through easier.
  • If the server has the team chat code use it (/team secret message here) using this is helpful for building stratagy and keeping your enemies in the dark.


Settings on the Test Server

  • Just in case anyone was wondering, the current fortress test server is Z-mans(the games creator).
  • Explosions are set to 2 to make blocking a ramrod/plow/steamroll easier.

  • 1 attacker, 0 defenders: 5 seconds to conquer.
  • 1 attacker, 1 or more defenders: not conquerable.
  • 2 attackers, 0 defenders: 2 seconds to conquer.
