Description

Trosnoth is a network team game that requires team strategy to win.
The Trosnoth idea was conceived by a bunch of ÜberTweak leaders who were looking for another network game to play on camp that:

was low-cost;
was team-based;
involved strategy;
was easy to teach.

Changes

Changes in version 1.5.1:

New upgrades: machine gun, shoxwave, ninja. These replace the turret and phase shift upgrades.
You can now tell what upgrades a player has by looking at them (e.g. players with machine gunner and shoxwave have a visibly different gun, player with minimap disruption wears a radar hat).
New zone capture indicator on minimap: zones on minimap have coloured circle showing whether the zone can be captured or is in danger of capture.
Players can now mark zones on the minimap to draw the attention of team-mates.
Added practise mode (with bots) to menu.
Authentication server lobby now adds bots players to the game up to a certain minimum number of total players.
Authentication server now also runs a web server which displays player achievements.
Initial work on "Trosnoth core", a web-based menu system for Trosnoth that integrates with the authentication server web site.
When playing Trosnoth from the Trosnoth core, you now have the ability to add authentication servers other than the defaults.
Console output is quieter: only errors are logged unless a debug flag is given.
Some refactoring, including some efficiency gains.

This game looks awesome from what I'm able to see without actually playing it. If anyone wants to play me, my msn is: "theprototypeus@hotmail.com". One of us can host a server.

Trosnoth, Trosnoth, Trosnoth WOW! This game is excellent! Why? If you love working together as a team to DESTROY YOUR OPPOSITION then this is for you! Even though the objective of the game is about taking over the map rather than the most kills, it's still fun to annihilate people in any game. You can see the trosnoth website above, definitely check it out to see how to play. I would say that this game is best played in a LAN setting so everyone can enjoy the fast paced environment of the game. Because only one shot will kill you, this means everyone is going to be doing lots and lots of dying unless you've perfected how to DODGE BULLETS and become extremely difficult to kill. I really like this game because it's simple and fun while maintain the focus of teamwork, because when you and a bunch of your mates DESTROY some other people through your combined hard work, it feels great. Just download it and try it out, it's probably best played with at least 4v4 or higher, just to maintain that teamwork element of the game, otherwise it just becomes a cat and mouse game of chasing zones when there aren't enough people in it. Best of all, the game is free, so LAN party it up. Chairs!
