Okay, maybe that's not the most accurate thread name that I could come up with but i was thinking more about a "mechanics" perspective. On an actual presentation perspective, it could just be a peasant revolt, where you'd have the standard 300 gold that you'd spawn with in Skirmish mode, but with some huge differences:
Game rules
To those unfamiliar, my suggestion is essentially making something similar to Call of Duty: World At War's ZombieX mod, though reframed to better fit the context of a medieval combat game.
Game rules
- Culture votes on map change will decide who the "Nobility" culture will be. Peasant team will always be Vlandia with a single playable unit: The Peasant Levy
- At the start of each round, a small portion of the player list will spawn on the Peasants team (players can volunteer to be the starting peasants with an opt-in button prompt)
- If a member of the nobility lacks the gold to even respawn as a peasant unit, they will be moved to the Peasants team, while the Peasants themselves have infinite respawns
- Unsure how gold rewards would work, since I feel like players should be able to in some capacity, slow the rate of how much gold they lose per respawn but should never be able to farm enough kills to break even with their heavy infantry spawn
- As i mentioned earlier in the thread, the Vlandian Peasant Levy would be the only playable unit to the peasants, though this will be a mode-specific variation, with the following modifications
Always has the Improved Armor from standard game modes, though their available equipment will not be from standard gameplayOkay, this idea probably won't work since a Peasant Levy in the Nobility would most likely be at a disadvantage against the infinitely respawning peasants- Rather than spawning with the default sickle, their weapon is instead selected at random
- Weapon 1
- Pugio
- Khuzait Sickle
- Metal Hammer
- Woodsplitter Axe
- Weapon 2
- Sling (20)
- Metal Pitchfork
- Woodland Hunting Bow + Bent Arrow (10)*
- Weapon 1
