Re: Thoughts on the teaser?

The blueprints could be the field design.

Usually its left corner is behind the red triangle's right corner.
Why would they do that? I don't think it makes a difference to the design of the game logo. I'm not saying it's a game hint--I really don't think it is--I just think that's totally weird. Unless they're going to change the official logo to that soon and just haven't gotten around to it yet

Re: Thoughts on the teaser?

I zoomed in on the blueprints and it is definiely symmetrical, with two towers in the middle and a shoe-looking thing on either side. Here is the link

Re: Thoughts on the teaser?

Apparently the blueprint shows the field... or what appears to be the field.

Re: Official FIRST Stronghold Teaser!

My guess would be some sort of tower defense game possibly?

It looks more like an elevation then towers... so possible two hills?

The blueprints shown in the video remain virtually the same when inverted.

I think that the shoe-looking thingy is a rope contraption -- it just seems to coil like a rope. Definitely seeing the towers though.

Both sides are racing to put up their flags in the middle of the field at their own respective towers.

And possibly race to take down the other team's flag?

Re: Thoughts on the teaser?

Just a thought: The video said "Face this task together" and showed a second "team" or "Alliance." Does this mean return of an end game like in 2012 where alliances have to tag-team to do it?

Re: Thoughts on the teaser?

I imagine that the tower that was shown with the golden rod on the top will be an endgame of sorts - teams have to try and climb to the top to get the rod; whoever summits the tower first gets lots of points.
