Playing the Game
Game Settings
Armagetron Advanced is a very configurable game, however you will find these settings to be most common:
- You get points for core dumping an opponent (make him hit your trail).
- Your cycle will accelerate if you drive closer to the trails.
- A player wins the match when he surpasses a set score limit, the maximum number of rounds is surpassed, or a time limit is reached.
Game Modes
Several game modes exist:
- Death Match: You versus everyone else.
- Team Death Match: Cooperate with your teammates to win the match.
- Fortress: Capture the enemy base. This game may be played with teams or death match style.
- Pig Sty: A team death match where you try to shoot the other team's players with death zones.
- Sumo: Stay in a zone while trying to force your opponent out.
- Capture the Flag: Capture the opponents' flag and try to bring it back to your own zone.
- Race: Race to the win zone at the end of the map.
- Low/High Rubber:
- Low: Try to destroy other cycles in your traps. You can face the wall for a little bit. You don't have much rubber. You have on average 7 rubber.
- High: Try to destroy other cycles in your traps. You can face the wall for a longer time. You have on average 40 rubber.
