Customizable win conditions

[MrMostache]

I'm not expecting this to be implemented anytime soon, but I was wondering if this is possible.

For example, in a special save, I would like executioner to lynch his target and then get lynched during the day.
or cult recruiting a total of 4 members to win ( does not imply that the other factions lose)

Of course, the win conditions have to be already defined in what we know in the game.

This is an interesting idea, you could open up the coding from the win conditions of every role, and then allow each role to choose from the pool of win conditions.

It's a good idea.

I personally do not agree with it. Neutral roles already have a set grounds to win because it fits their roles total over-all goal. You're a killing role? Kill off all your enemies. You're an insane guy who wants to die? Get lynched. You're a survivor? Live to the end. Town, you can't alter that at all since it's a group faction that's trying to purge their town of all evil-doers, in the eyes of the "common good", where as mafia/triad are trying to take over the town, and will stomp out all who get in their way. The only roles that could be changed, would be the neutrals. Which would do far more damage than it would do good. Changing the win conditions of a role, would mean you would have to possibly alter the entire way the role's mechanics work, so their new win-condition goal can be met. Which causes more work, more balancing to do, more bug fixes, more tweaks, and not to mention an over-haul to the current UI since there's limited space to work with on role options and situations.

I can see your point, but that's the purpose of the customization. Each role will have it's own win condition. For example, town is not necessarily a faction anymore. let's say in my setup, the doctor's win condition is to make a fortune by successfully healing 3 people. If he do that, he wins, regardless whether the town wins or not.
Also note that you do not have to design your setups like you normally do, meaning you can have 1 town in your setup and still manage to have it balanced.

Now the only problem is that mafia and triad are joined by their night chat so you can't separate their alignment

My opinions are startlingly similar to McKinley's, so I'll just +1.

Now if only we can get you to win a game of Mafia on SC2, my to-do list will be completed.

The conditions of healing 3 people make the game in Mafia like.

I think it's an interesting idea, but I do think there would be other priorities before it. Advanced team chat options and more roles would rate higher in my list.
