What to add to the next winbolo, if it's not 3D

Not that I am complaining, or in favor or against Winbolo 3D, but I just thought that if we started complaing...oops :oops: , I mean making suggestions now, Elvis will have more time to make minor/major changes...



-Bring back the gameplay map, like in MacBolo

-Preview skins before game start (like a thumbnail as you pick)

-RR tracks, different types of boats, Missiles, other cool stuff, maybe

-sell your soul to get a builder back/multiple builder mode

-more pills and bases

-jeep/armored tanks upgrades

-Having to staff pills guys smaller than builders that travels from pill to pill (after one is destroyed, staying on one team of course), more guys more fire. Maybe the guys can do different stuff. Grenade launchers, Rocket launchers, Suicide bombers, Machine guns, chain guns.

-Turrets that tanks can drive into. Medium armor, like a chain gun. infinite ammo. Maybe buildable. Maybe a mode.

-Air strikes, air supplies, that take a long time of course

-indestructable builder mode/builder health levels, builders can take two/three hits, they need to get health at bases.

-Moblie bases that people can carry like pills, slower resource gain rate though

-Peace zones that people can't shoot into/out of, neither can pills, Cant build in a zone like that or can't build from within them, builders can't get in without their tanks

-Builders can defuse mines

-different terrain, like sand and mud. If you stay still too long you sink and die, and you can also just get stuck in them

- be able to self-destruct/suicide

-be able to mine trenches that tanks get stuck in, builders can hide and be safe in, different from mine craters

-guided missles launched from tanks, tanks cant be killed while guiding their infinite range missliles

-underground tunnels/spider holes

-submarines you can hide in, no one but you can see in them

-indestructable walls, takes 10 tanks full trees to build

-change the name to WBolo (W is for weird)

-server (persont that starts game) can kick people off at will

-above listed mode and classic mode

These are my crazy dreams

That would be cool and i already started a post for that but here's what i want to add...

-There will be RR tracks+trains that take you from station to staition(the train can be shot and ambushed but the tracks cant be destoyed)(Team's can make RR but those CAN be mined)

-The subs canbe activated whenever but have a certain amont of health(They should have torpedos)


Nice Post Man

Since this is inevitable, I'll jump in for MM and say,

"k33p winbolo da saym w4y d4mmit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: "

There you go, MM, you're absolved of duty.

Um... regarding this post. I saw a couple cool ones here and there, but the other ones... you want that shit, get a mass-produced game. The reason why Bolo (Mac and WB) has lasted so long is because people expect shitty graphics, cheesy effects 24/7. You add mega-cool-super-ass effects and super-realistic graphics, it'll be cool... until a month later, when the next, better thing comes out.

Things I did like:

Skin Thumbnail

This would be nice, just in case you forgot which skin was which. I wouldn't hold your breath for this, however.

server (persont that starts game) can kick people off at will

Yeah, I'd like this one. People who provide should be able to choose who they provide to.

indestructable walls, takes 10 tanks full trees to build

This would be utter chaos if they were allowed to build. You get four of these around a base, and depending on what happens during the course of the game, one team could not win. Instead, I'd like to see these as "map only" features, where they can be created with the map editor but not by tanks.

As for all that other stuff... it's like having 1000 feet of frosting on a cake. Impractical and chaos-prone.

Like I said before... people like this game because it's good, old-fashioned face-to-face combat, like swordplay. All those new games with all the fancy shit... it's more like modern warfare. The side with the biggest guns, the biggest army, the best weaponry, and so on wins. It doens't really matter if one side has state-of-the-art troops and the other has shitty-ass troops... people don't put up much resistance when they've had the fuck bombed out of them. Unsporting? I'll say.

wow vengeance! you made a perfect list of how to completly destroy winbolo~!

Thanks, we really needed that... especially after that's what I just said, dumbass.

Thanks Maxx :D

Althought I do wish to mantain and honor the current Winbolo, I think that a project like this wouldn't be a threat to Boloers. We wouldn't lose too many comrades to it because when it crashes, as Nova said, not exactly, they will just come crying back to Winbolo, which we will ban them from. This is my idea for filtering out all of the noobies. I also recommended to change the name, something lacking the Bolo name. Maybe WinWarfare. And I also never recommended improving the graphics Nova. This post should be followed by Nova's post quoting the place I forgot about to rub it in. :x

:wink: :D :) :( :o :shock: :? 8) :lol: :x :P :oops: :cry: :evil: :twisted: :roll: :wink: :arrow: :idea: :?: :!: :roll: :mrgreen: :|

Pretty sure I have said this plenty of times before but Elvis is not going to change the game and add missiles. Winbolo is meant to be a Bolo clone. If you want all this crap then you can make your own game.

Those little guys are all my friends. :D

I know that, I am just suggesting. Elvis might find some interesting things in my list, just like Nova did.

And I can't make this game. I am 14 and not even in high school. I don't even know how to get python to run. Lets see you get this game out! :cry: :)

I was merely giving an example of things that are an "improvement" to games, such as graphics and effects. I never said that you DID say that.

Yes in my eirlier post i said 2 differnt games the clone and the other wierd version

Good luck getting another version.

The simplicity of winbolo provides enough strategy and thought as it is. If you added that many features, I think people would have strokes at their computer desks.

One (small) thing that'd be nice, is a "restart" command for the DS. It would restart the map clean, but without dropping anyone. It'd be kinda handy for my Capture the pillbox maps. :wink:

i do like the "more pills and bases" thing.....and we could have more players...this would make for longer, more fun of, battles......definitely we shouldnty add all these crzy features though...it wrecks strategy...

How about not adding anything, but rather focus on the needed changes proposed by a few mac'ers that will bring the game to a new level of accuracy in terms of being a clone.

Like the gameplay map. :wink:

Other than the aforementioned, nothing should be done to change the WAY THE GAME IS PLAYED. However, plenty of things could be done in the future to make better the security of the game (security as in locking games, getting rid of pests, starting the tourn. or strict games properly, etc.) It's in these areas that newbies are the biggest problem because they don't feel like waiting, they just wanna PLAY NOW. Eventually, some catch on and learn proper etiquette, but i don't think it's many.

We can't "get rid of all the newbies" because then eventually nobody will play at all. We were all newbies once and didn't know the intellectual, skillful, and strategic potential of the game. We just thought it was about blowing people up and having fun. But then we found out what the game can really be.

If only the game had a "safe mode" that would allow people to join games but NOT START until everyone there agreed it was time to start (once it's locked, everyone allied and onside). Maybe even a "time out" button for in case someone dropped (obviously you'd have to limit the number of uses otherwise it would be abused). Then you could also have a "traditional mode" like we have now, where you CAN lock and follow protocol if the people want, or you can have total chaos where people ally and unally all game, but some people like that!

For strict like mad was saying we should have a lock where the tanks can't move until an official call is made by the host buy selecting it in the menu called "call". That would stop any newb. from going off and taking bases...

My idea along the lines of MS's post was...

You'd join the game, and people would be in there already, waiting for more people to join. Business as usual. Now what would be cool is if you could fuck around with the map beforehand... joust, practice your takes, etc. When enough people would join, someone would say "pick your starting positions." People would choose from a list of starts. Then they would click on a "ready" button. There would be a countdown, then the map would be wiped clean and restored to its original configuration. Then the game would start. As for timeouts, it would be nice to have a "hold" button that, when everyone in game has pressed it, the game would freeze. Then everyone would press a "go" button that would unfreeze the game.

don't add anything.

I would like Winbolo to be similar to macbolo except without the pill massaging. Like how you can do much easier diagnal takes in Mac as you can Winbolo. Just a thought..

Why no pill massaging, ren?

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I'm sure what pill massaging is. Does it involve angry pills quickly rebuilt in any way? :?: :shock:

Pill massaging is when you drive to the side of one pill or more. Then move slowly to the side of the pill which causes the pill to shoot the direction your tank is going, and not you. This is used usually on maps like chew toy, when you drive to the side of the two pills one shoots the other pill that shoots at you. Kind of confusing so here..

These are the kind of takes you can do in bolo, but not winbolo:
