VP Scoring Mod...Possible?

Post by Michael Slaunwhite »

Hi.

Dammit sakes alive. I can't seem to get away from thinking about changing this game. I mean I'm reading the PDF SDK manual on how to create a scenario, and this bloody thing popped into my head about a new VP scoring for MP, or Sandbox.

Okay we all know that holding a VP gains you points. How about at the beginning of each match, each side begins with say 10,000 points, and the longer you hold a VP location you begin to drain the enemy of their starting points, and the side which drains the enemies points to 0 wins the match.

Is this possible?

God, this game has cursed me...but in a good way....I think. :woohoo:

No, but you can drain your strength by making the VP -100 per minute. :woohoo:

I'm definately going to bed after this...

If this is possible in a future addon, while you drain the enemies points, you would also be affecting their ammo supply to the point where they would not be able to resupply, which would have the players finding more clever ways of taking, and holding vp locations...the test of a true commander. (not me, I'm the man who runs around with the water bucket). :)

Imagine what would happen if I had a full brain, I wouldn't get any sleep at all. :woohoo:

Cheers guys!
