New game type. "Team Leader" or "kill the king"

Concise description:

* New team game type.

Specifics:

* Team game called team leader or kill the king where each team has 1 player thats the leader or king and the rest are grunts or pawns. Only killing the king will win the game. Wiping out grunts will not gain points, only once the king dies are all team points awarded to the winning team.

Obviously this will not work for non team games. So it would have to be team games only.

*edit*
the opposite team would not know who your king was but your own teams king would be known to your team.
Kings could be selected randomly or choosen. Say first player to join each team would be king.

The main idea was so that 1 single player dictates play to the team giving the team a HQ so to speak. The strategy involved would be that you have to determine the other teams king then try to wipe them out using your teams grunts to bash skulls as there "expendible".

To answer 72o. It would be totally different as you could techanically win by eliminating 1 player.

I like the idea off an option for
Secret KOTH = King is hidden from other team
KOTH = King is known to other team.

Any more thoughts

Interesting, but how different would it be from a regular team game? I mean, isn't the last person left on the losing team the same as the "king"?

Would the opposing team know who the king was?

How would the king be decided? Randomly?

Looks like a random king and then only the opposite teams know their king. But I thought this has been suggested before so just take a look to some treahts and you can find it ill quess.

I say if you are going to setup the new gametype, have both Sunny and Fog kings.

Secret KOTH = King is hidden from other team
KOTH = King is known to other team.

Id say in any form of the game, each team would need to know who their own king was.
I think I would get aggravated at that type of game if I couldn't know who my own king was.
But I can see strategy's for finding out who if you didn't know.
This will be a great game idea IMHO when you guys work the details out.

Reminds me of the "Protect the VIP" in a bunch of FPS video games I've played.

I don't play team games, but this doesn't sound like a bad idea. Although, I think you'd want it so that each team always knows who the king of the other team is. Otherwise it wouldn't be much different than a regular team game.

I disagree. If you did not know then you would need to determine if the player the other team is protecting is really the king or just a decoy to keep attention away.
