FAQs: Capture the Flag

Q: What is the object of Capture the Flag?

A: The goal of capture the flag is simply to capture your enemy’s flag as often as possible, for which you get a point each time you succeed.

Q: How is the winner of the game determined?

A: The first team to get 5 points within the amount of time allotted by the in-game timer wins the match. If neither of the teams reaches 5 points, the team with the most points is the winner. Should both teams have the same amount of points, the winner will be determined as follows (in descending order):
· Most shots per team.
· Most inflicted damage per team.
· Highest average of damage inflicted per team.
· Should the match still remain tied, there will be no winner. For the ranking, the number of battles you have lost remains the same and no coins will be awarded.

A: The reward for the members of the winning team is a “Kirus coin.”

Q: Are there pre-determined zones of re-entry?

A: Yes, each team has a specific re-entry zone; namely, where the player begins is where he’ll reappear after he’s died.

A: Players that are using invisibility or an invincibility buff may not capture the flag. If they are using one of these buffs while they have a flag, they will lose that flag.

A: The battlefield is square. The re-entry zones for each team are in the top right and bottom left corners of the field. Each team’s flag is located right in front of the re-entry zone.

Q: How can you tell which player has the flag?

A: When a player has a flag, they will be marked with a red or blue seal, depending on the team the player in on.
