Gamemode: King of the Hill

Team 1 Objective: Capture and hold the Turinium until Critical Mass and or they die trying. Team 1 may use any units or structures to accomplish this goal. Team 1 will recieve no resource bonus, this is to incentivize them to be more careful and not waste so much metal or radioactives on massive counterattacks, instead working towards playing to their strengths as defensive bonus is enabled for this mode so expect your units to take less damage while in your own territories.

Team 2 Objective: To keep Team 1 from the Turinium generators and further to this, Team 2 must destroy Team 1's Nexus, they can use any number of units or structures to accomplish this. Team 2 will receive a 100% resource bonus, this is to incentivize Team 2 to play aggressively and be actively pushing Team 1.

• 20 minute Peace Timer, this while not innately a function within the game, though I expect no fighting until the 20 minute mark. This gives both sides a chance to build up defences, units and an economy, so be courteous and wait.
  
• There aren't any restrictions to unit types, you can construct hoards of ASF's or Strategic Bombers, and or Juggernaughts...whatever your team needs to win.

This weekend we have a community game night hosted by one of our community members. Sacriel is starting this up to help bring players together. The main place for organizing will be on our Discord server as well as directly on Steam.

• Rules: King of the Hill PvP.
  
• 20 Minute peace timer. For both teams to get an economy rolling.
  
• Defenders(Team 1) must simply hold the Turinium Generator until they reach the 10,000 point score. Points gathered during peacetime does count towards the win. So build up your defenses and get ready for an onslaught! You may use any units or structures at your disposal as a means of defending or atleast slowing down Team 2's advance on your Turinium or Nexus.
  
• Team 2, the ones conducting the offensive, have two objectives. Team 2's main goal is to keep Team 1 from the Turinium Generators. Secondly to destroy Team 1's Nexus by any means AFTER the 20 minute mark.
  
• The capture points needed is 10,000. This provides either side the chance to hold the point or to take it back, again Team 2 can choose not to kill Team 1 immediately given the chance.
