invalid Add duel option to "Battle!" button

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I would like Tanki to entertain creating an optional feature of the Battle button to create a 1-1 battle. Or just create a second button called Duel. Of course the map would be random, perhaps limited to tiny, small, and perhaps a few medium maps (no Berlin!). This would return duel style combat to standard players. This has several gains such as

-obviously giving standard players a duel style battle back
-making the finish first option much easier for standard players (yes I know this is an exploit)
-standard players experience duels on a variety of maps
-increasing the number of standard battles, while...
-not materially impacting the current mechanics of the Battle button.

This last point bears explanation. Since most players want full battles, I believe the current standard battles will continue to be full. Furthermore 1-1 battles (duh) fill at 2 players so those 8-12 player full battles by definition can't lose many players. Some may argue that standard battles will change to all duel style battles - won't happen. Remember what the servers were like before the Battle button - mostly large player base battles and a handful of duels. I think we can get back there for standard batles with this idea.

Valid  

Unlikely to be implemented though. The Battle! button is meant to quickly send players into standard battles, so adding more options to customise the battle settings will defeat the purpose of the feature.

^Thabks Cypher. I do think this would be a good bone to throw at players who are unhappy with the Battle button.

IMHO:

 

 

 

There should be a popup text over that button, like

 

If this button shows [1:1] then the [battle!] button will send you only into 1vs1 duels on variaous maps. If this button shows [x:y] then you will be sent to a normal team battle.

Use the filters on the left to select if you like to play 1:1 Deathmatch, 1:1 Team Deathmatch and so on.

 

It should unlock around 30.000 xp - there the players are experienced enough to have no issues to understand that.

The maps should be small to mid only - and of course Duell should be part of it.

 

If you think it colides with the [create] button, shift the position, or disable the feature for propass owners. They can anyways create 1,1 battles easily
