Gem Siege Multiplayer Game

Gem siege is a custom pvp game mode played on a map with the same name, two teams fight over a specialised mining machine in an attempt to break the opposing teams gems...

What is gem siege?

Gem siege is a somewhat complex pvp game mode where players fight over a mining machine called a breaker in the hopes of busting the opposing teams gemstone.

Games will commonly last between 5 and 15 minutes with a hard limit of half an hour and the game is played either as a 1v1, 2v2 or 4v4 format (although it can be played as up to 5v5, but this isnt recommended).

The game centralises around the breaker, which slowly moves towards one sides gem (based on its current owner), it does not like being told what to do though! and it will try to kill the team that is directing it, it also takes friendly fire damage.

What tech level is gem siege based upon (and what classes are there?)

Gem siege is based upon early hardmode, which is when Terraria reaches its peak performance in pvp, the breaker however will scale over time from skeletron all the way to post moon lord in tech level as the game progresses.

Game Rules

Gem siege is somewhat simplistic on rules, but here they are.

> All players (except the breaker) are expected to join with a new charecter and no items.
> All items for the contestants are provided, one box for the blue team and one for the red team.
> Players must use team dye which is provided in the white (shared) starting box.

> To start the game have all players stand next to their teams firework popper, when both teams activate their fireworks the game begins.
> The first team that kills the breaker gets it.
> As the offensive team, try to have your breaker march to the enemies gem and keep the enemy team from killing it, if they do, they get the breaker and it will start heading towards the other base.
> To use overcharges, players type "overcharge" into chat, this is so that the breaker can keep track of who has and has not used their overcharges.
> All players get one overcharge, when the breaker reaches their last wall they get another.
> Players get 10 cannonballs and 3 bunny bombs each, cannons can only be operated on their side of the arena.
> Players cannot hold on to two overcharges, if players have an overcharge when the breaker reaches their last wall, they lose it! (this includes if it is active when the breaker reaches the wall)

> The breaker is responsible for keeping a track of the time (and changing their loadout with the time after dying) and keeping track of players who have an overcharge.

What does the map look like and how does it work?

There is a blue side and red side to the arena and small yellow (neutral) centre area.

Across both sides, several granite walls called breaker barriers can be found, when the breaker encounters these, it will stop and mine through the walls, not progressing until all granite has been removed.

The breaker will also get spawnpoint updates each time it walks past a bed, players can use beds on their side of the arena at any time and anyone can set their spawn in the yellow area.

Each side of the arena is 250 blocks long (including the end parts) and there are numerous walls on both sides which are equal in size and found at the same points along the track.

The game is won when the breaker reaches a gem on either side of the arena.
