I have written a new game for Minetest, this server is the beta/introduction to that game.
Players divide into 4 teams and try to take control of certain points in the map. Once a team has control of a point their domination meter starts increasing. For each domination point a team has control of the faster their domination meter increases.
This is based on the vanilla game with a few changes
- Mese has been removed
- Some tools have been slowed down to make built fortifications more effective (e.g. mining stone with a pick is fast, but mining cobble with a pick is slowed down so forts built out of cobble will be stronger)
- Tool speeds have been changed to force you to use the appropriate tool on certain nodes, the pick is no longer the most powerful tool. The pick is slower on dirt and sand than the shovel, the pick is slower on a tree than an axe, etc...
- Locked chests are available to the placer's whole team
- On death all inventory items are dropped on the ground
- Steel doors are accessible by everybody on the team
Gameplay
The game is manually started by an admin. Before the game starts players start in a predefined spawn point with no inventory, there they can join teams, chat, etc... Once the game starts players are teleported to their team spawn point. If they log out and log back in they will start back at their team spawn area. Players do not have to be online when the game starts. The game runs 24/7 until a team reaches the domination goal, so having players online as much as possible helps your team. Once the games start then it's a free-for-all. Teams need to come up with a strategy whether that's having certain people mine and gather resources, others scout and capture domination points, having some build fortifications, etc... When a domination point is claimed a sound is played and a chat notification is sent to all players giving an approximate coordinate of the claimed domination pointed.
The goal for this Domination server is 3600 points. A team receives 1 point every 5 seconds for each point they control. This setup has 5 or 6 domination points (I don't remember exactly), placed randomly throughout the map.
In general the Domination game can be played and setup several ways, and this is all up to whoever designs the map:
- Multiple domination points throughout the map
- One domination points (King of the Hill)
- Put a domination point at each team spawn
Unclaimed Domination Point, punch the block to claim it
