I say yes to friendly fire, no to retards to abuse it for their amusement in ruining another's good time. Global banning requests could be the solution.
NO TO FRIENDLY FIRE - WHY would you want to ruin this mod with something as lame as that? The only way it could work would be if it was properly thought through - VERY CLEARLY. In the ends thers thoussands of catches though and i cant see it working
Because if you want teamwork in a game like this, you also have to create things that a team SHOULDN'T do. It's not a request for idiots shooting their team, it's a request for their teammates to aim thoroughly, and not shoot everyone running in their view like W. Bush in San Francisco.
Shouldn't that be Cheny? I mean, Cheny was the one that shot an eighty year old man in the face with a shotgun point-blank.
Ya so after you add this "great teamwork element" there wont be any bastards who want to just shoot you? hmm...?
maybe if you kill people on your team you lose like 5 of your skills credits OR when a dude gets killed they get to vote on a option (A) make them lose credits (B) make killing team mate suicide (C) Jail time - dude cant contral his guy for 2 min. (D) Forgive player and all is good
I'm still against friendly fire for Empires... There are just too many people out there that can't distinguish who is who on the battlefield. And yes, I got shot again by one of my own who in his bright mind thought that I was the enemy...
I always wait for the names to pop up when aiming at someone, which is why I usually have a negative kill ratio.
yeah , frinedly fire would complicate things a bit to much. but taking away skill points from team mates i think wouldn't work. as your ment to be fighting the enemy - jail would be a slightly better solution ( there was a thread about it somewhere ) , but jet again its just fighting our team mates again. Kicking them would be the best solution , it'll let someone who actuly wants to play Empires join.
