[Official Event] Clash of the Titans - Re-run

[JonasHudson]

Can't you see the silliness in defending an objective that gets blown up anyway though? I don't see why the Sisteron can't be voided and the Oblique serves that role in the victory conditions instead.

Yeah it seemed like both ships were unquestionably going to wind up destroyed because they had to sit out in the same zone. I never could tell if the ships were supposed to be following a path or going somewhere. If they just sit out in the battle zone though, there is no chance to save your ship. There has to be a line drawn where you can pull your ship out. If the Gallic side took out Oblique, that's when Arles should have been able to pull back.

I was going to suggest for next time we throw in a base, and one side be defender vs offender. Each Titan would be like a 'General' unit, or flagship giving their side abilities. The offenders attack the base, the defenders defend. The base being destroyed or holding out becomes the primary objective. Titan's become secondary. If you can kill the other side's flagship, their respawn limit goes back into effect. Also once the other's flagship is destroyed, the remaining Titan can return to base to avoid inevitable destruction. The same could go for the defenders, once the base is gone, it can return to try to save itself (this would also end their infinite respawns pretty much ending in withdrawl, but partial stalemate). Then a kill counter can come in for a 3rd objective.

So for example, say an offensive team succeeds in destroying a base, the defenders still have a chance to destroy the offenders flagship, and vice versa, or they can pull back to avoid further loss.

This also sets it up so that if an attacking fleet can pull off sinking the defender's flagship, they significanly increase the ease of destroying the base. That also means that they no longer need their general on the field to give them their respawn advantage, and can pull back to safety finally. The flagships would only have to be in the battle zone until the base is destroyed.

Obviously the defenders would try to take out the attacking flagship, but also not leave their own to be too exposed. At the same time, both sides may just keep their flagships well behind the frontline and let the fleets duke it out over the base, weighing their options to keep their flagship on the field for further goals, or cut their losses before losing too much. Many possibilities!
