Team Fortress

**Team Fortress** is a experimental game mode added in the "Bizarre" update. It uses a custom map that has a choosing room, a battlefield, and a room to end the game once you get there.

## Overview

### Map

You spawn in the choosing room, where you choose the team for you to join. Once you choose a class (red or blue), you will spawn with the items of the respective class you chose in the spawn of your team. In the spawn there are plots (avoid blocking), stone deposits and 2 fortresses in each team. To cross to the other fortress/mid of the map, you need to go to the [X] square that is either above or below you (red team is below and blue team is above).

### Classes

You can choose between 4 different classes, that are represented by their own respective ore. Each class has a own set of items that will not be dropped upon death.

 Diamond
 Amethyst
 Reidite

### Objectives

The archer has to protect the fortress with the help of the tower or to help the team to rush to the enemy base;
The builder has to build things that can help protect and maintain the barrier from being raided, building wooden walls, wooden doors, wooden spikes, roofs and towers;
The warrior needs to help rush and protect allies;
The griefer needs to break the enemy fortress and barrier.

## Strategy

### Archer

Try and predict enemy moves. Most of them are repetitive patterns that, once figured out can make it pretty easy to kill them.
Also, try to only use all arrows when needed. If you don't have time to stack up arrows, you can try and make your shots more precise, so you can preserve arrows.
If you climb on a tower: you can shoot arrows through 1 layer of wall if that layer is near enough. That can help you protect building without going into risk zone.
Arrows can break enemy wall, it breaks less than hammer, but since walls can be repaired: it still important if wall is close to destruction.

### Builder

The best idea to block the barrier and the fortresses from enemies is using wooden walls. They are the most durable and strong structures you can make. Try always to use as little as possible, though. There is a build limit for builders. Another good idea is to just get a ton of stone, convert them into walls, never use them, and get a ton of points. Only impatient people who want golden bread quickly would do this. Also it's possible to fix 3 walls at once as well, however it may take some time in order to line up correctly.

### Warrior

The spears can penetrate through walls, assisting your griefer try to break the wall by dealing damage to the builders who are fixing against your griefer. But careful when dueling Archers because they do more damage per arrow and they have range. It's quite easy for them to snipe you down because you are slow when holding out a weapon, so try to avoid them if you can.

### Griefer

You can break 3 walls at once. If you align correctly, you can do it. Not so hard, just move your mouse with caution. If there are lot of players: don't go alone. Griefer can break walls very fast and that makes them key part of winning, but without help of archer or warrior: they are very weak.

## Trivia

* Team Fortress is always more crowded during the European afternoon.
* Builders have a small build limit. (14 maybe)
* You get 50 points from each structure destroyed as a griefer.
* Destroying multiple structures at same time give you as much points as destroying them 1 by 1 would.
* For every structure you build, you get 50 points.
* Killing someone gives 250 points.

## Glitch Fortress

You may have seen a person who is an archer and an buider at the same time. Or even an archer-builder-warrior combo. This used to be possible before the June of 2020. But a new glitch was created and here is a video by the "Glitch Teacher" Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQZA2IAujH8. Watch it and learn how to glitch, the new glitch wasn't patched because the starve.io creators were lazy, they simply added water in the endzones to drown those who wanted to base there.
