Re: Modern Upgrrade

It's funny how polarizing 2003's game was. Stack Attack was either loved or hated by those who participated in it.

I have always felt adding one tweak to Stack Attack would help gameplay. Basically this:
-For any robot to score points by being "King of the Hill", their alliance must have a stack of at least 2 high.

I haven't really fully baked out how the gameplay would evolve, but my thoughts were that it would force alliances to worry about the bins. You would also get collaboration between team members to "stack" robots on each other, as most likely you will have one representative from each alliance parked on top. A team member would have to be designated as stack builder/protector, less your alliance risks scoring 0 King of the Hill points.

Just a silly idea I've had for a while.
