How does this tour function / work?
Well it is simple. Depending on the amount of players that sign up, sign ups don't happen in till the tournament day because of no shows. You will be either placed into a match with 1, 2 or 3 people in a capture the flag game type mode. Yea, that game type that no one ever touches under game types ya its toward the bottom.
Because it is a nostalgia tour we will be using some old school map:
• Neo Hall of Valhalla
• Neo Legacy of Char
• Ragnarok
• Neo Jungle Story
FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAPTURE THE FLAG IS READ HERE!!!!
The CTF game mode uses different victory conditions for the players. Each players spawned with a beacon that could be re-placed somewhere on the map during the first ten minutes. After this, any player could steal an opponent's flag with a worker. When an enemy flag was transported onto the own beacon the enemy was destroyed. As a result CTF games support different strategies, similar to a Free For All mode.
1. At the start of the game a beacon spawns near your town hall.
2. Before the 10 minute mark you can move your beacon ONCE, anywhere on the map. (There's a button when you select it.)
3. The flag spawns on your beacon at the 10 minute mark. (There's a countdown timer on the top of the screen.)
4. You can't take your own flag with your worker.
5. You can take an opponent's flag with your worker. (Everyone sees a message: "XXX's flag was stolen.")
6. If you bring an opponent's flag to your beacon the opponent is eliminated (all buildings and units destroyed). (Everyone sees the message: "XXX's flag has been captured." and "XXX has been eliminated.")
7. There's no command to drop the flag from a worker carrying the flag.
8. If the worker carrying the flag is destroyed, the flag drops on the floor.
9. If the flag is on the floor for 2 minutes (1:30?), it automatically returns to the owner's beacon. (There's no timer. After the 2 minutes everyone sees the message: "XXX's flag has been returned.")
10. You can load the worker with the flag in a transport and the flag stays on the worker.
11. If you burrow the drone with the flag, the flag drops on the floor.
12. You have vision of your flag and beacon, even if the opponent is carrying it with his worker or if it's on a worker in a shuttle.
13. If a player loses ALL of his or her buildings AND units before their flag is taken they are eliminated.
14. Can you recall the worker with the flag? (Yes)
15. If you stasis, mind control or maelstrom the worker with the flag, does the flag drop or stay on the worker? (Drops, stays and stays)
16. Can you move the beacon to the discovered part of the map that you don't have vision right now? (Yes)
17. Can you mine or build with the worker that has the flag? (No)
18. Can you eliminate someone by taking their flag to some other player's beacon? (Unknown)
19. What happens if worker carrying a flag is in shutter, dropship or overlord and it dies? (Wherever the worker loaded up into the dropship it will the flag will respawn there)
