changedAn original new map: Battlegoats, with its own Fus Ro Arena version!Two majestic sci-fi towers facing each other, and in the middle, a huge, empty pit. It looks like the perfect place for cybernetically enhanced goats to wreak havoc. Just so you know, our main source of inspiration for Battlegoats is Facing Worlds , the classic map from Unreal Tournament! Many hours were spent on that floating island. Ah, the memories...
addedNew Domination mode!In this new game mode, two goat teams have to compete against each other, capturing three areas around the map. The team that controls these zones during the longest time wins. All the maps, including Battlegoats, can be played in this game mode. Simple. Easy. GG.

New Domination mode!

3 areas. 2 teams. 1 winner. 0 humans.

Other stuff included in the Goatmas Celebration Update (0.4.1)

  • Domination Goat Points count on the global leaderboard as the other game modes, while also having its own leaderboard. You may be a NOOB in other modes, but Domination could be your time to SHINE.

  • New entries into Goatipedia related to Domination Mode. Read them, please.

  • Tweaks on the ranking algorithm for some game modes. I'm a goat, don't ask me how this works.

  • We heard youyou told us the easiest bots were too hard, so we lowered their intelligence. Now, they should be more manageable.

Fixed Bugs

  • When you open a leaderboard, your score was not highlighted and focused correctly. Not cool when you want to brag.

  • Chinese/Japanese and Russian characters on leaderboards names were displayed as ??????. Weird.

  • Goats spawned in the middle of nowhere if they wait until the lobby timer reaches 0. Spooooky.

  • A typo on the ranks scorewhen you lost points, your new score was shown as "--X". That's not a number, so we figured out it didn't make sense.

This is our last update of the year, but behold: 2020 will be the goatiest of years, with new content, features, and events coming to Goat of Duty! Stay tuned to know more about what's to come.

MAY THE GOATS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR
