Hey guys it's halex again, okay so I have never suggested a new game for the server before and Annihilation isn't a game I came up with, but I have only ever seen it on one other server for minecraft, but overtime the community for that server became Spanish so I was forced to leave due to my lack of knowledge on that language. The whole idea of the game is to have four teams (red, yellow, blue, green) and each team have 8-30 people (with auto team balancing), after the game starts, each team gets put into their bases in each of the four corners of a giant map ranging from 200x200 blocks to 650x650 blocks. Each team gets an iron mine, gold mine, lapis mine, and coal mine, with a diamond mine in the center of the map for the teams to fight over, also every ore on the map when mined turns into cobble and the ore respawns after 7 seconds. Inside each team's base is this block of endstone called the nexus that has 75 health, when an opposing team reaches the nexus and mines the block, the health goes down by one. The game has five phases each lasting 10 minutes and unlocking a new aspect to the game except for phase 5 which lasts till one nexus is left standing. Phase one the nexus is invincible, phase 2 the nexus can be damaged, phase three diamonds spawn in the center, phase four blase powder (for strength pots) is unlocked in the brewing shop (that's where you buy potion materials for gold ingots), phase 5 the nexuses take x2 damage. An average game of annihilation takes about 55 mins to an hour 20 mins and is a lot of fun. Anyways the whole purpose of the game if you have not caught on yet is to build defenses and defend your nexus while collecting resources and gear to attack other bases and destroy their nexuses, the last standing team with a nexus wins. For the sake of shortness for this thread there is a lot that I have not explained, such as classes, bosses, launch pads, and more so feel free to look at the video below for all the information. Oh also another important thing about the game I should say though, you can only break blocks with the right tool, so you can't break dirt unless you use a shovel for example. Below is a video briefly explaining the gamemode and some of the maps in more detail than I did if you are interested in this gamemode it would be a good idea to watch this: (jump to 34 seconds in the video to get directly to the game being explained) Feel free to reply!
I can understand how you make that connection but if you watched the video, with the bosses, classes, and defenses, it is still very different, not to mention its more grindey and and the pvp will be a lot more fun because it will be a larger scale and harder to break the nexus than the bed in bedwars adding a whole new dimension to the game. Also Shotbow added this gamemode to their server early 2012 so it may even be older than bedwars :P
I didn't intend for this thread to be advertising shotbow, the only reason I mentioned the server is because that is where this game comes from and I didn't want to take credit for it. But I will refrain from putting server ips in threads in the future.
