CTW Open Beta | Future $1000 Tournament | Rule Updates

Last edited on 21 March 2017 - 02:39 PM by Archybot




Capture the Wool, or CTW for short, beta is now live across all regions. CTW is a gamemode where two teams (32v32) fight out by building, PvPing, and crafting to be the first team to capture the enemy's wools. This gamemode originates from the now closed down OCN/PGM servers.


How to play:

Wool rooms on the enemy side contain the wools you need to capture inside of chests, alongside other goodies to help you make it back to your side. The enemy team cannot enter the wool rooms on their side so you are safe from being chased inside. Wool rooms look something like this:


Another example: https://i.gyazo.com/7d92cfcf7ee80bf38270ed8c09abd866.png


The goal is to take the wool you find to the "victory monuments" and place them inside to win. The first team to place all the wools is the winning team. Victory monuments are located on your side and look something like this:


Another example: https://i.gyazo.com/efb4f958f8fbee10cafaf65f21aee814.png

Make sure to prevent the enemy team from taking your wools to their victory monuments, and help your teammates get the wools to your side.


Basic tips, tricks, and strategies

  • You will spawn with certain items (different for every map) but you usually won't spawn with armor. All maps have an armor source that you'll have to collect and craft, usually in or near your spawn. You are stronger with armor and more useful to your team with it, especially on defense. Here's what some of these sources look like:


    • Another example: https://i.gyazo.com/0f9851573cfb43b9530103fed9200e39.png


  • Typically the best ways to play offense is to either be sneaky and solo by tunneling to the enemy wool and/or attempting to fast run by enemy defenders. The other way is to work as a team and control parts of the maps, especially the sky by sky-bridging. Here's what typical sky-bridging antics look like:



  • Playing offense isn't the only way to help your team win. By building defenses you can slow down and stop the enemy team from capturing your wools.




  • Also note that some maps have hidden goodies in chests that can only be claimed early on.




    • We will be adding new features, maps, and bug fixes during the beta for CTW. All stuff we add to CTW will be able to be moved over to other gamemodes such as CTF, KotH, and any other gamemodes we might add.

    Current Maps
    The current maps are
  • Golden Drought 1
  • Golden Drought 3
  • Bamboo Valley
  • Circus CTW

    • Future Tournament
    There will be a tournament being hosted soon (April) for a 5v5 CTW tournament with $1000 up for grabs. The reason for 5v5 is because we want to see if CTW can work in a 5v5 setting so some day in the future it might be added to the Badlion Premium servers and the tournaments/leagues associated with Badlion Premium, instead of just being an open gamemode. More news on this later.

    Scrim servers
    Scrim servers will be coming sometime during the beta. The way you'll scrim is you'll get two parties of the same size on the CTW lobby and duel each other and choose the map. The current plan is to support parties of 3 up to parties of 8. It'll work exactly how CTF dueling does. These will AWLAYS be live, even during off tournament times.

    Please make sure to report any issues and/or suggestions for CTW on the correct forums, thanks!

    Known issues (that will be removed as fixed)
  • Redstone and redstone related blocks do not function (such as pistons).
  • Going under y=0 on 1.8 and newer versions in spectator mode will make your minecraft go black. Just go back above y=0 to have the map show back up.
  • Bamboo valley wool rooms front door can't be broken down - enter through the side or back doors.
  • CTW lobbies/scrim servers are not up.
  • Sometimes servers are taking 5-10 seconds too long to boot up after a game finishes, causing it to look like there are no servers online at the end of a game.

    • RULE UPDATES:
    We have added two rules to the minigames section. They read as:
    3. Intentionally griefing your team or teammates in any way will result in punishment. Examples include, but not limited to: spleefing them to their death, breaking down team defenses for no reason, preventing a teammate from doing stuff such as crafting armor, and trapping/blocking up your spawn.
    4. Repeatedly spawn killing the enemy team in games/maps where the enemy does not spawn with armor in an effort to farm stats will result in a punishment.
