I think it would be a great for community growth and player retention to have some sort of fun and non-competitive weekly quick match playlist, custom-tailored by devs with fun parameters.
You can do so many things, like:
- 2v2 400 pop Castle age only team arena
- 3 player vs 5AI survival mode (1 sacred site in the players’ base, timer set to 20 minutes)
- 3v3 water map with safe enclosed fishing sites.
- 8 player FFA nomad
- Imperial age only team arena
etc. etc.
The possibilities are endless, and devs could rotate them on a weekly basis. These can drive new and fun streamer engagements and have inactive players check in once or twice a month to enjoy a fun custom mode.
Sure, we have custom game browser, but there aren’t that many people playing this game to have a lot of variance. The most popular ones are like 400 pop 30 minute treaty or just a simple practice match.
Thoughts?
