Summary
Invade and Annex is a large-scale PvE Gamemode that incentivizes cooperation. Players are limited to a single objective area at a time.
Description
Core Features
Dynamic Objective System
Main Objectives: Only one area active at a time, with multiple objectives like capturing, destroying radio towers, or holding against counter-attacks.
Side Objectives: Includes “Assassinate HVT” missions, with escaping targets and objectives to disrupt enemy reinforcements. (Many more planned)
AI & Enemy Enhancements
AI Coordination: Groups communicate, choose roles (attack, defend, flank), and react dynamically.
Scaling & Reinforcements: AI numbers scale with player count and can be fine-tuned via server config. Reinforcements spawn in waves, and radio towers now generate infinite enemy waves until destroyed.
Civilian System: Civilian deaths caused by players can trigger armed revolts and militia reinforcements.
Player & Role Systems (Optional)
Role Limitation: Restricts vehicle/weapons by role; defaults to off, can be enabled by config/mod.
Persistent Roles: Roles stay after respawn or reconnect (within 3 minutes).
Stats & Leaderboards: Real-time tracking of kills, deaths, HVTs killed, and more. Accessible in-game, includes global and server leaderboards.
Customization & Server Controls
Comprehensive Config: Server owners can override factions, vehicle pools, AI scaling, and other gameplay settings via config file—no scripting needed.
Custom Faction Support: Enemy and friendly units preferentially use registered modded factions and vehicles.
HQ Vehicle Customization: All vehicle types at HQ are fully configurable.
Quality of Life & UI
Improved Notifications: In-game UI alerts for objectives, captures, new tasks, etc.
Staggered Spawns & Optimization: AI spawn logic reduces server hitching and lag.
Medical Vehicle Spawns: Medical vehicles available at HQ.
Enhanced Civilian Behavior: Civilians patrol, react to combat, and now only count as casualties if killed by US units (not accidents/artillery).
Maps & Building System
Multi-Map Support: Runs on Gogland, Anizay, Fallujah, and more.
Designed for easy migration by myself or the community to other maps.
Recent Major Updates
Statistics & Leaderboards: Global/server leaderboards for kills, deaths, HVTs, and more; accessible via pause menu.
Artillery Strikes: Enemy AI can call in artillery based on player actions; side objectives can disable artillery temporarily.
Defend Objective Logic: Timed defend phases with randomized attack waves after capturing an area.
Capture System Reworked: Timer-based capturing with player contribution tracking. (Much more work to be done)
Planned Features
More side objectives (hostage rescue, convoy interception)
Considering expanded statistics and leaderboards
Deeper integration between side/main objectives
Additional AI behaviors and artillery options
