Battle Royale map concept

It work if only coms would be present and no other untis player could control. And coms slowly could be upgraded in course of game. To bit harden thing then non player battle units spam around map and make things more difficult. Problem however is limited com weaponary choice.
Similar map in teams was already where lava grow up higher and higher until everything was in lava.

I think the map would reward rushing to the center and fortifying there too heavily, which means the game would start with a scramble to the top. Probably would come down mostly to luck which commander wins out.

The high ground is very stronk in Zero-K, so players who choose to stay down to take the mexes would probably not be able to climb later even with the metal superiority.

Battle Royale games tend to randomize the final location and not show it to players from the beginning precisely to reduce the effectiveness of strategies based around rushing the center and fortifying/bunkering down there, which would otherwise be very dominant.

I guess it could be interesting if the map was very large (so that lots of players could be far apart) and the slope sufficiently gentle as to not make fighting upwards inviable.

Those are fair points. Guess we'd have to see it in action.

That's not battle royale, but its an interesting concept in itself.

Assuming that is implementable, that's an interesting idea. It should mean that it would be possible to change the "center" between games as well.

Lava is cool, I played SMW as a child so now I perpetually want to drop things into lava.

What's in that map, meteor showers?

Wasn't in old Zk lobby option 'lavarise'? I think that was dat one game i have played.
