Base Melees

This article covers the BaseMelees scenario folder for OpenClonk. Base melees are scenarios in which players or teams battle each other and try to destroy enemy bases. This type of scenario combines the game play elements of settlement and combat and is therefore considered a different from regular melees. Usually base melees start with a short phase of building up a settlement to produce weaponry and improve defensive strongholds. In contrast to regular settlement scenarios this is sped up by allowing team leaders to create a small start up settlement. Then teams usually deploy aggressive strategies to weaken opponents and their bases, in order to oppress their production. The game ends for a team when all base buildings are lost. This goal is called domination and a team has won when all enemy bases are destroyed.

Medals
