Plans for the hopefully the final beta version (Beta 7) and future final version.
-Redesign the final point, to satisfy both attacking and defending parties. (I'll do my best.)
-Finish the map and crank out a final version in 5-6 years. (Maybe soon if I have time.)
My thoughts on the Speed Boost:
-Testing beta 6, its a fun mechanic, and it has not proven to be overpowered yet. I can always remove it, if it seems to broken for the game. (The benefits of still being in beta. :rolleyes: )
-My goal was to encourage more cart team pushing.
