This map is constructed by N-a-z-g-u-l (or Bob666), Exodus, Paladon and Velocity2k. Originally created by N-a-z-g-u-l aka Bob666, Battle Tanks has grown to one of the most played games at the battle.net. Exodus took the project over for a long and honorable time until Paladon and Velocity2k and again Exodus continued it.

Normal: The Normal mode is set to be the standard. The minimal possible bounty is at 70%, the influence of your personal game stats is set to 45%. That means, your bounty will mostly be set to around 85% if you're playing really bad. Royal Flush: In this mode every kill is worth twice the gold, but you also lose gold equal to your own bounty on death. Nearly every tank has Armor Upgrade requirements and your bounty goes down fast, when you die often. Alternative: The Alternative mode is usually disabled. Once you have choosen special options for the match, you can play the Alternative mode. The minimal bounty is set to 65%, the influence to 50%. The overall real bounty if you're playing bad will be nearly similar to the Normal mode, but the curve between the maximal (100%) and minimal bounty differs. League: The available League mode is an imitation of the real League mode which can only be hosted by special bots. The minimal bounty is set to 75% with an influence of 20%, that means your bounty will mostly be set to a minimal value of 95% if you're not a good player. This makes the mode quite hard but is also allowing us to track the "real" stats. The League imitation does not save a player's stats, but the real League will do. You can always use the League imitation mode to practice for the BT League. Traders are disabled in the league. Check www.btanks.net for more information.
