How to create a room

Choose your channel

Chose your channel

Let us get started by choosing a channel to play in:

• Beginner is for brand new players who want to check out the game in a small tutorial first.
• Battle takes you directly into play mode. For the soldiers among you.
• Map Edit will lead you right to the Build mode. For the born architect.
• ClanMatch is for Clan fights only.

Double-click on any channel you want to join or click the “Play” symbol on the top left. The tabs sort all existing channels. They are meant to give you a better overview. Don’t worry, the decision you make here is not final. You can always change channels within the game.

Hint: Once you have reached the level of Corporal, you will no longer be able to enter the Beginners’ Channel.

Create a map, or Enter battle

Create a map

Here, you have the opportunity to either build a brand new map or to play against other people in the various play modes. Just press the Create button, and you will end up in the map creation interface if you have chosen a map editing channel or the play mode selection interface if you are in a battle channel.

Battle channel

Battle channel interface

Now that we have chosen one of the battle channels, we can play in various play modes. Each of these modes has their own way of gameplay.

Title refers to the title of the room. There will be a default line in here whenever you play. You can change this line by clicking on the “Title” bar. A room title is mandatory.

The little lock symbol on the top right of your game window enables you to encode your game with a password. Whenever somebody wants join in on the game, they will have to enter this password. Right now, a password can consist of 4 characters. Creating a password is optional.

With the Max Players option, you can define how many players you intend to allow to play with you. The maximum number you can select here is 16, including yourself.

Of course, you can choose the map you want to play, too. Anybody who has built a map will be able to register it, and they show up right here.

Name the room, decide how many people you want to play with and select a map.

Choose your game mode

This is the point where you pick the game mode that you want to play in.

Some modes require a time limit which is alterable.

Goal is the amount of players that need to be defeated in order to end the time limit abruptly. This means that even if the time is not up yet, if 50 players have been defeated by one team, the round ends, and that team wins.

Weapon Options lets you pick if either all weapons are allowed in your game or you want everyone to only use pistols for example.

Allow Players to Join Mid-Game is quite clear: check if you want people to be able to join while the game is already running, uncheck if you don’t want this.

Check Team Balance when you want a balanced game. For example, if you start a game 1 vs. 1 and check “Allow Players to Join Mid-Game”, everyone who joins could join your opponent’s team so you might end up playing 1 vs. 8. If checked, “Team Balance” will automatically sort players into teams.
