Tactical Warfare

Leaders could also command those very skilled people to hunt down the other cov's high ranking members.

But as pointed out before, its unlikely they wil encounter the other side. And how do my knights kill the other side? We are co-opers. The other teams simply has a single leader not invade and we auto lose.

Nobody would do that because those valuable people would basically be put to waste due to the rarity of invading anyone specific, let alone the leader.

In addition, knowing that your death would put 24-hours of effort to waste would encourage turtling and defensive tactics on the point of the leaders, which would force others to go for glass cannon/OHKO/massive damage strategies almost exclusively.

Not as a knight.

she can in these wars and she uses her knight to gravelord sometimes.

Racking up points while defending is a way to win, did you forget that? The point cap overall and for each member is determined by how many people are in each cov to make it more fair. Meaning co-opers can easily just continue on and still end up winning. Also, high ranking member doesnt only mean leader, its also the co-leader and the council.

Blasphemy!

(was tempted to make a sexist joke. Sleep Deprivation sucks...)

Sad, that beside Amos my "ghost" idea didn't get any love. I thought it was a unique idea, of course it would still to iron out its holes but it has potential, doesn't it?

@Amos even still thats one person who would have to take out forum 6 times, spur 6 times, shkar oh wait he's on xbox.

Maybe mix the two systems, like higher ranking members get less points when they invade, but don't lose a life, and if they host they get more points but lose a life per defeat.

So the LH who are pure invaders never lose lives but the knights who are pure co-opers always lose lives?

I said host. So you can co-op and be safe. It's only when you host that you're in trouble.

Also, I believe I have taken out all of the main XBL covenant people (except our new lifehunter friends <3)

Ok lets look at this. These are all for Unforseen.
1) You want each person to be worth a certain amount of lives before they are removed. As pointed out people are rarely invaded by each other. How do you address this? DO you reduce the numbre of points or do you have another idea?
2) You want to limit how much a person can get by rank. But rank isnt always a good representation of skill. Also what do people do when they have reached their limit?
3) What happens when a side reaches an total, either killing the entire other leadership or reaching the points total. Do they win? Or is it like quidditch and they just get a bonus?

Ugh, don't even bring up quidditch, the logistics of that game are completely FUBAR.

It would never work. The seekers is the only position that truly matters (unless the real life version has better rules).

1.)I can change up how much each top rank member has in lives, to an agreeable amount, possibly Leader-2 co-3 council-4
2.)The point system is not limited by rank but by amount of members on both side so that it'll be more fair.
3.)When one side reaches either max points overall or killed off the entire leadership, then they win the war. It's pretty simple.

Decide for yourself

Well if you want to implement it fairly ever you'll need testing. Thus I will make another covenant war for all of this as I said I would earlier. Stay tuned.

Instead of an actual war, you could simply do practice skirmishes.

Wars are more fun and will be more accurate.

And who do you plan on warring?

The thread will be ready soon. NK vs LH with allies.

Lol poor LH.

I may need to fight as my knight for this one...
