Not about this game mode, though i think combat mode sounds pretty good!:)
I have a suggestion for a mode that could take epic battle modes place
Many people dont like epic battle mode, or so ive heard, if i want to play a normal with slightly bigger armies i just take battle, cause epic battle is a little too much in this case, it doesnt require nearly as much tactic or anything, mostly just mindlessly spamming troops.
I sometimes when i play with friends, we build up armies and then battle and the first player to reach 0 command points loses, epic battle is helpful in this case, but it still takes a long time to build the armies, and then people can cheat if it doesnt go as planned.
This way you can have actual battles, and you dont have to focus on the base at the same time. It gives a more movie like feeling, like in helms deep or minas tirith, you can just focus on the battle, its almost like a little movie that you can control:)
So heres the idea, i think many people would be thankful for it, especially the ones who like fortress maps^^
WAR
18000 command points
100000 resources
Troops spawn instantly
all heroes are full level from the beginning
Spellbook, could be unlocked, but i think it gives more if you unlock powers during battle.
And you would have 20 mins to build everything you want, and after that you cant build anything anymore, no troops or buildings
The first player to reach 0 commandpoints loses.
Thoughts?
Maybe change another game mode?
