Capture the Flag
Capture the flag is a gamemode in which team Red and team Blue try to capture the enemy flag and return it to their own tent. The flag is perched atop the tent, and the tent is usually covered in defenses. At the beginning of a game, players will have time to build defenses before the assault begins. During this preparation phase, Builders can receive stone and wood refills by returning to the tent, and a large red barrier blocks players from accessing the center of the map.
In capture the flag mode, each class serves their own purpose. Generally the builder builds defenses around the tent and helps others to destroy or surpass enemy defenses. The knight is the front line soldier, preventing the enemy from breaching the knight's team defenses, while pressing onward towards the flag. The archer supports the knight by forcing the enemy to shield with arrows.
Strategy
Capture the flag requires some thought and strategy (if you want to win that is).
- As the knight, try to go with others in battalions, this way, if there are no builders, you can collaboratively use your bombs to destroy buildings.
- As the archer, you can shoot through a friendly knight with his shield up if you're behind him, so try pairing up with a knight.
- As the builder, know the spike pits won't kill an enemy if they just fall in, it will only injure them. They will most likely destroy your work. With multiple draw bridges you can place multiple spikes, leading to an instant death.
- At the beginning of the match, you should always change to a Builder. Even if you don't have a good idea of what to build, you can always just add Castle Back Walls for support or construct Trap Bridges to help your team get around.
