[Gamemode] "Assassination" or "Hunted"

from Demigod Forums

I was thinking, now that we have assassins, why not have an assassination gamemode (maybe even make it optional to include only the assassin heroes in this gamemode)?

Well, in all its simplicity:

2 teams battling it out like normal, only there's no gold awarded for kills. Minion gold/exp awards could be optional.

At the beginning each team gets assigned one enemy player as assassination-target. Only killing this enemy will yield gold.

When this enemy has been killed, a new random enemy will be the new assassination-target.

Of course the players do not know who in their team have been targetted to be assassinated by the other team, so you can "fake out" people, by going all out on your target's teammate, making them think he's the target, urging him to flee to safety. And then pummel the real target when the opposing team thinks they've figured out who of them is targetted.

Conditions for winning should just be a specific amount of assassinations. Like 20 or so. Maybe a scalable number considering how many are in the game.

 

Any further ideas?

could work how ever it would have to include generals or it would never work in pantheon considering you dont know who your teamates are or what game mode your playing untill its already starting, unless they only let ppl who are playing assasing play but then it would simply be a selection of only 2 heros per side to play as and a 5v5 could be all regulus vs unclean beasts, light side would probly have a slight advantage with rook being a giant tank assasin

heheh, you're right. Both assassins and generals should be allowed in Pantheon games. But it would be fun to be able to customize assassins or generals only when making custom games.

 

Don't forget we get atleast one extra assassin and one extra general

A VIP gametype would be cool, but I wouldn't take away the creep spawns and gold reward for them.

But healing crystals would be a problem, just like on slayer.

I like the idea of a VIP game mode, but not like this.  If you don't get creep exp or gold and the target is very conservative so you can't kill it, how many hours would these games be lasting?

The only problem with assassination mode is that everyone starts choosing oak.

The point is that no one knows who the target is on their team, so it wont be possible to go hide. And still, I'd just like to have it optional to turn off creep exp/gold. So you could have some games where everyone isn't insanely overpowered.

I realize I didn't specify any win-conditions. Added to first post
