Is it a Cubic Chickonium?

[Warlord Zsinj]

Reminds me of that arcade game crimsonland...

[manored]

Is chicken game mode winnable or you just have to survive as long as you can? If yes, then what happens if I build a a defense line that kills any number of aliens before they get close enough? :)

[Crayfish]

I don't completely understand how this works but it looks fun.

Can we play it now?

[Otherside]

yes u can play it now

the game is about defending from a horde of chickens (the zerg things) who grow in strength and number as the game goes on

comes in various difficulty settings and difficulty increases with the number of players

u can play it solo if u wish

still being hvyly worked on so im sure it has alot of bugs but u can play it with the latest CA Test Releases

it is a mod option for CA which u can select in the mod option tab when hosting

Here is a description: http://trac.caspring.org/wiki/ChickenDefense
It's playable and played in the lobby, but it's in the very early stages of development.

Oooh if I download this I might actually have a reason to build defenses heavier than a light laser tower.

This game mode is really fun :) Still crashes quite oftenly tough.

Hmm I never played chicken annihilation this way (as in video).. isnt the point to build mobile forces and destroy hives asap?

[manored]

Well you can just defend yourself if you wish, but I think you need to kill hives to "advance" in the game :) Beside I dont know if there is a hive limit and if there is not you would soon have too many aliens being born to handle...

Just played 50mins of this on hard level and speed metal hoping to see the queen, only to discover that it wasnt added yet... I had a line of Doomsdays ready for it... (and 3 nuke silos, and a buzzsaw, and a hell of a buildpower :) )

This is not really a release thread, we have so much to do before it reaches a decent level of quality. Even the name is temporary. That, and I'm lazy

[Licho]

I thought its CA - chicken annihilation :)

[Saktoth]

This is just Otherside showing his, erhm, ample enthusiasm for CA as always.

Its not a release thread, otherwise it would be in Stable, not Test.

And even if we commit a stable (one is needed for other reasons) the game probably wont be finished until we have a 'queen' and an endstate.

If you notice in the video, otherside was actually getting beat pretty hard- and that was only at level 2, assault chickens. Once it gets to fliers and arty, a DT porcer really doesnt stand a chance.

We'll probably make a dt-crushing chicken anyway (possibly assault).

[manored]

What about terrain barriers + medium range missile batteries + ample shield coverage? :)

Maybe chickens should be all-terrain because they really dont have how to defend thenselfes from terrain barriers...

[1v0ry_k1ng]

they really need to be able to crush DT..

[manored]

they really need to be able to crush DT..

And to climb terrain barriers :) Assault chickens can climb one heith terrain barriers but not two...

[zwzsg]

Looks nice and makes me want to play it.

I don't agree about chicken crushing DT, it'll make DT useless. Maybe have crushing ability on only the heaviest chicken, and have regular chicken be programmed to attack DT that are in their way instead (but is it possible?)

Beside you can see in the video that they somehow managed to break a hole into the DT wall.
