Gravity wells

[rotflolocopter]

Hi All,

I've been playing the old maps on NOL's server and looking at the upcoming maps on this forum and I am concerned that with the game as it is, there isn't that much that can be done to add variety in gameplay.

My suggestion: Maps could have different gravity setting per region, to allow upside-down, vertical maps and weird games with turbulence areas where two different gravity settings meet.
In the same way that turrets have a range and power settings it would be interesting if the mapmaker could draw areas with specific gravity direction and pull.

Examples (excuse rough job drawing; red blobs are obstacles):

1 Blackhole game


2 Diagonal game


3 Turbulence zones


4 Football map - no gravity at all, instead of having 90% of the game in 15% of the space.

What say ye?

I like it.

[Boko]

All those in favor of gravity wells, please say aye.

"AYE!!!!"

Those opposed please say nay.

"nay"

That was karlam, they does not has the time 4 it being poisoned and all.

Epic idea.

Possibly add background arrows to where they are so people wont get confused?

[Jayfourke]

Great idea, it'd be worth a try I think.

Lol Boko, you keep mentioning that like your proud of it or something.

edit: on the topic of gravity wells they sound cool but might be a bit confusing/you can't remember which ones are where and do what.

For your lack of social comprehesion let me explain; I keep mentioning it because I think its funny.

And to be a good sport and get on topic again; you could give them some sort of aura that would indicate where the gravity is gonna pull you towards.
