Hey there empire warriors (this hi meesage is becoming boring isn't it?)

Today I'd like to share something very very special with you on this suggestion thread.

Lately, I've seen some people saying that Esgaroth (Laketown) isn't a good map, like they don't want to play it. Well, a few days ago I watched (for a 3985329876th time) the hobbit smaug's lair or whatever and an idea came me in mind, having a second (or replaced really doesn't matter) Laketown map & new unique game mode, having it attacked by the holy Smaug!! Since there are more than only siege game modes like gold, or a
tested version of push the cart, we could have a wonderful attack of the dragon game play.

The idea is to have all players teamed up as the men of laketown who would have the option of archers or constructors only (with less arrows than usual and with less restocks). Their goal would be to kill the Dragon (default Ender dragon but retextured and hitpoints/health increased) which would be flying around burning laketown and killing people. This would be a UI not a player.

An archer would get a point every 3 times (or another amount of times [depens]) and constructors would get points for X (please leave suggestions of why would constructors be rewarded). The final killer of the dragon would get some bonus points for being its slayer.

Additionnal notes: This game mode could possibly be for Erebor as-well.
Possible additions: Background sounds of panic
 
I think this would be too confusing and radical in the servers current state. For now i think Tim just wants to focus on the siege concept and to be fair, Lakerown has improved. I would however like to see this if playerbase and time gives us the oppertunity.
 
LimeeFox constructor could make a giant crossbow by placing wood in a chest besides the crossbow (broken). when the crossbow gets repaired a random archer gets a crossbow bolt (perhapse a spear) and can use it to shoot the enderdragon. that will take a big amount of hitpoints, but only when hit. maybe an algorithm so when the crossbow is made that the dragon will fly near it. when the crossbow bolt is shot the dragon will then furiously destroy the crossbow. when the crossbow bolt misses archers need to search for a new crossbow bolt. this goes on until the dragon is dead.
 
Oh basically constructors could repair houses (same system as gates) by placing the wood in the chests next to broken ones (broken by dragon) and as Dutch Skywarrior said could repair Windlass
 
We once did this as an event for the release of the Battle of Five Armies movie. It's quite fun and is something that I deifnitely see returning. However, this won't be a permanent gamemode, it'll be more like an event.
