Guide [Issue 3] Special Battles

[Tommy60 406]

~ Guys, tell me if I'm missing any other sorts of battles that you have seen around the servers.

Special Battles


Have you ever found yourself in a battle, where none of the players are shooting each other? Did they all have the same tank and weapon? What about protective paints? I doubt you saw any. These battles are created mostly by the nostalgic first generation of players, who lust for the old days where all the high-ranking players had M3 Dictators and M3 Railguns. (Thus leading to the battles’ typical titles such as ‘Dic+Rail-xxxx’, where the x’s represent the map’s name that the game is being played upon.)

Of course, there are other ‘special’ battles with implied rules. Let’s see which ones you’ve seen before, and if you followed the rules.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Island – Rail-Wasp, no paints



• Due to Island’s small size and abundance of houses (all three of them. :mrgreen: ), this map is ideal for testing a team of players’ skills in a battle where every shot is a kill. (Mostly, anyways.)

Rules- The standard version of this game requires that each team has the same number of players, each with an M3 Wasp and M3 Railgun. (However, it can also be a deathmatch.)Paints with resistance to railgun are not allowed.

2. Cross – Rail-Wasp, no paints

• Another test of skill, but on a higher level. In these games, you have no allies to protect your rear. These games are normally found as Deathmatches, with the ability to use supplies.

Rules- There can be as many players as the game can hold, with the provision that there are no railgun-resistant paints on any of the tanks. Though an M3-M3 tank is preferred, it is common to see players of lower upgrades to be wandering this battlefield. Drugging, or using supplies, is discouraged by most.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. Duel – Rail-Wasp, no paints


• This type of battle is the classic example of a duel. Not only does it take place on the smallest map in the game, but only two players are allowed in it at the same time! This is the ultimate battlefield to show your “One-on-one,” skills.

Rules- Railgun M3 and Wasp M3 are required. No resistant paints are allowed. Drugging is taboo in this map. The typical match here is set on either a timer or a given number of kills.

*Note: There are variances of this type of battle. Some tankers may duel with other combinations of tanks, such as dictator – railgun and smoky – wasp.*
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. Tribute – No shafts or isidas.


• Though not as strict as the previous battle styles, these Tribute battles are time-honored traditions that have been around as long as the game itself. Most players decide to exclude shafts and isidas from the game due to the following reasons. Isida can be used by amateur players who stay behind a higher-ranking player the entire game, healing him. While he may be getting himself a lot of points from his work, he is barely helping the team as a whole. Shafts are, in most people’s opinion, overpowered. According to some longtime tankers, they ruin a certain element of Tanki that makes the game fun. (Perhaps it is the one-shot kills. :roll: )

Rules- Obviously, do not come into the battle with a shaft or isida. If none of the players are wearing protective paints, I strongly advise that you do the same. Drugging is accepted, though it can be rather pointless. Once one players drugs to get a flag, another person follows suit. Then another, and another, until the game becomes a World Cup-style drugfest. At this point, every player has the same advantages and disadvantages that they had at the start of the game, since everybody is using supplies. It is the inescapable black hole of drugs.

5. Solikamsk – 740 HP battles


• Most players have no idea why 740 was the magic number, but somehow, it caught on. This more freestyle battle on a great, original map has only one constant limitation – the cumulative health points of all the tanks on one team must not exceed 740. Certain weapons can be banned, if noted in the battle’s name.

Rules- Before starting the battle, make sure that each team has no more than 740 health points total. Protective paints make the counting of points too confusing, and are henceforth banned. Using drugs varies from game-to-game.

If anyone reads this...

 

 

=P

When I saw 740, I immediately thought of not more then 740 HP of all tanks together,anyway, I am guessing:"

 

You only had 740 HP + Rail Wasp. That was why you created 3 types of Rail Wasp battles. Well, what about Kungur rail wasp? Silence rail wasp?

how about an all M0 mammoth + M3 isida battle (with protective paints allowed). That would be really intersting too.. (I mean for those who are extremely bored from this life)
