Overview
A 24 v. 24 scenario located in the heart of the city, this scenario involves capturing seven objectives scattered throughout the city. Initially, these objectives (Southern Embankment, Widow’s Walk, Center Grounds, the Promenade), once captured, would spawn cannons which start firing on the other capture points – hence, controlling more objectives focuses the artillery fire on the remaining objectives, making their defense that more difficult.
However, since release the scenario is now a simple Tug-of-War mechanic centered around Southern Praag, South Central Praag, Central Praag, North Central Praag, and Northern Praag. Once Central Praag is captured the next closest point previously owned by the opposing side will open up until all points are captured.
Designed around close combat in an urban setting, the terrain is mostly built-up city blocks chopped up by hastily-constructed barricades, with a park in the center of the map, and huge sections of burning and destroyed buildings in the vicinity of the cannon’s firing targets. Described as similar to the movie “A Bridge Too Far” (about Operation Market Garden during WWII), the Battle for Praag’s narrow twisted streets and house-to-house combat promises to be a highlight of the Empire v. Chaos battlefront. This Scenario is a true tug of WAR! Battle over single locations to push your front closer to the enemy base in an epic struggle in the streets of Praag!
Intended Mechanics
- Fight for 1 flag at the time
- Capture and hold flags
Order and Destruction Strategies
There is only one strategy for this scenario, rush for the flag and capture it.
Once your team has it and holds it; move up to the next flag that becomes available for capture. Rinse and Repeat.
If you fail at the initial push, don’t worry there is still time and opportunities to turn this around. If you don’t start out by capping the center flag and you start getting capped then defend your flags! If one gets severely overwhelmed fall back to the flag that will become available for capture next, regroup and reform to gain the advantage over the other team.
Best Winning Strategy
Move as one in the middle battle objective to capture. Here you will need to have more people near the flag that then enemy to capture. Two ways to do that.
- All fight near the flag (if possible)
- Push the enemy and the fight further away while ranged / healers capture
Keep pushing.
If you are Winning:
- IF you are winning easily push the next Flag.
- IF you are not winning easily let the middle flag reset and re capture(still win with 1 flag more then enemy)
- Wait for a re group and re capture of middle objective before pushing more flags.
IF you are losing:
- Regroup (most important) on the objective out side spawn to capture quickly.
- IF the enemy is coming to that objective and you capture keep some people there to keep them busy while you capture middle flag
- Try to fight them near Spawn to use the cannon to title the fight to your advantage and counter push taking advantage of the re spawn timers as well.
