| This game mode is faster than TBD because there is no waiting for a bomb to spawn. This keeps the pressure up at a level significantly higher. Infiltrating players are not marked (like in BALL or TBD), and so can come from anywhere. | This game mode is faster than TBD because there is no waiting for a bomb to spawn.

| + | In TBD, the width of a map is a critical design point because it specifies how | ||
| + | far a plane, weighed down with a bomb, must travel to reach the goal. This | ||
| + | slows the play of the game and requires coordination. This coordination makes | ||
| + | for great games clan vs. clan, where the players are working together. But, | ||
| + | it can be frustrating in pub servers where players either don't know how to | ||
| + | work together, or simply just refuse. Because of this combination of push | ||
| + | and defense, TBD is best played 7v7, and suffers below 6v6. FLAG, on the | ||
| + | other hand, is best played at 5v5, with 4v4 and 6v6 also working quite well. | ||
| + | FLAG also works better on a smaller map than TBD. | ||
| + | |||
| + | An example map shows the importance of width over height in a FLAG type game. | ||
| + | Also, notice the turrets, which should be capable of halving the health of | ||
| + | a Biplane before they get to the flag for at least half the routes to the flag. | ||

| Each team should have its own spawn area at opposite sides of the map. Near this spawn area should be a ''shield'' power-up assigned to the opposite team, so only they can pick it up. This will be the flag. The flag icon should be placed on a parallax view above the shield so that it is always visible. | Each team should have its own spawn area at opposite sides of the map.

| + | The following flag images are available to add to the game. If you need to | ||
| + | make modifications or add a new color, use the closest SVG image to what you | ||
| + | want. Otherwise, the PNG images should just work. Remember to put the flags | ||
| + | on their own parallax view, so they are above the power-up. | ||

| + | To keep consistency in the look and feel of the FLAG game type, the existing | ||
| + | PNG images should be used unless they simply don't look right on the map. | ||
