RA2 Metagame?

[System32]

Metagames are any game which doesn't use a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game, if there is one for a basis.
 
This is the RA2 metagame.
 
Part mod, part tournament, all awesome.
 
Basics:
 
The tabs (Wheels, Weapons, Power, Extenders, Extra and Mechanics/motors) get scrapped. Each is now a tab containing several components of each type, containing their own advantages/disadvantages.
 
The tabs are now teams, and building a bot means you have only ONE tab to use parts with.
 
Teams:
Super Stackers:
Weakest and heaviest everything (compared to AJ's stuff) , but this is the only team where the realistic rule doesn't apply! (Based on stock.)
 
Average Joes:
No advantages, and no disadvantages, all components are balanced. (Based on DCL3.)
 
Elemental Maniacs:
Have elemental components (Flamethrowers, those shocking components Man Manu made...) but at the cost of the normal weapons (Irons, Maces) strength. (Based on ROFLAI)
 
Hard Hitters:
All spin motors are super powered and weapons deadly, but LOW HP and heavy weapons. (Based on backlash.)
 
Slice and Dice: Burst motors and pistons are powered heavily at the cost of Variation in components. (Based on Ubermod.)
 
Super Powered: Batteries and airtanks are the best in the game, but all mechanics are weak. (Based in DSL2, and the Ant batt debaucle.)
 
As for the metagame, there is a grid map. Each square has an arena accociated with it, and each turn all teams make a move. The fleets (Made by players) take a territory, and if contested, fight in said arena.
 
Possible arenas:
 
Combat, BBEANS2 (Stock HW version) Redzone, Bridge of doom, Octagon, Eletric arena 2 (Some may change)
 
The goal is the be on the winning team.

Sounds really sophisticated and cool.

[JoeBlo]

sounds pretty cool

It was Hydro who made the shock components though :P

[Naryar]

Wat ?

[JoeBlo]

its basically taking the themes from each mod and putting them into the game as a form of balance

[somestrangeguy]

Intresting, sounds fun.

[JoeBlo]

could be cool.. if done correctly we could have essentially such things like the infamous Stock vs DSL

[System32]

The thing I think we need it actually a ruleset, though.
 
And a system for play.
 
I am thinking of a risk like game, but the points go into Research (For better equipment) and Construction (as in building)
 
Either the game will be a large board, and everyone builds for any team they prefer, or a smaller, simple game.
 
(In a lighter note, you guys still haven't had an RA2 cagematch. SHAME.)

I really do like this idea, if it's done right it could be really amazing XD
