Hi! Is there any interest in a more serious Highlander tournament/series? Any ideas for the format?

If mikade doesn't do it, I'd like to look into making highlander use the weapons enabled in the selected ammo, for more customisation. I suspect a highlander tournament would require more rounds to declare a winner, and possibly a more restricted weapon set, both to try and control the high luck element. The Specialists has basically no luck element apart from wind direction Smile

I'd like to play a HL tournament too! Flying Some time ago I made two HL-Scripts for my own. A friend an me often play with them: "[b]Heavy Highlander[/b]" and "[b]Highlander Balanced[/b]". Maybe they are usefull for a tournament. In both scripts is less luck given: [b]Heavy Highlander[/b]: only strong weps, new utilities (vampirism, timebox etc), no kamikaze. You can't have bad luck with weapons, cause nearly everything you get is usefull. [b]Highlander Balanced[/b]: weak & strong things taken out, some reduced in strength. You nearly can't kill directly (except kicking into water) with one weapon. I'll upload and explain more when I got home from work. . (Nemo: There are many sports and competitions in the world where luck is a factor. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I think everyone knows and accepts this. And people are pleased if they can say "I had bad luck" - and not to confess their bad performance... Wink Smiley )

I'm also interested play a HL tournament. Whatever. HL, HL 0.2, Heavy HL, HL balanced... But I would cancel vampirism from Heavy HL coz sometimes we had hogs with 400 hp or more. Saludos

Ok, here are the edited scripts: [URL=http://www.file-upload.net/download-6985530/Sinewars.zip.html]Download[/URL] (Don't wonder about the file name "Sinewars", there's a third script included: http://www.hedgewars.org/node/3996) What's different in Heavy Highlander: http://www.hedgewars.org/node/3714 What's different in Highlander Balanced: weak things taken out: Mortar, Sniper, Seduction, Parachute, Lasersight strong things taken out: Teleporter, Hellish Bomb, Watermelon, Ballgun reduced strength: Cake (runs only 8 sec, not 20) RC Plane (can only drop 1 bomb, not 3) Kamikaze (distance is halfed) new: utility crates! including: Teleporter, Rope, Vampirism or Tardis. Crates can only be used 1 time! You can't use the utility each round.
