Escalation v0.9
---------------

How to play
---------------------------
Unzip escalation.zip to a subdirectory of your Quake 3 folder.  I recommend "<path to q3>/escalation".
At the command line, run:
quake3.exe +set fs_game escalation

The main difference between Escalation and a normal deathmatch is the way scoring is done.  You start with an initial stake of 0.  The first time you kill someone, your stake goes to 1 and your maximum health drops by 10.  For every frag after that, your health drops by 10 (down to 50) and your stake doubles.  If you die, your stake falls back to 0.  To convert your stake to frags, bind a key to "bank" and hold completely still for 3 seconds.  If you're bumped or choose to move during the wait, the command is cancelled but you keep your stake to try again later.

I strongly recommend using a timelimit instead of a fraglimit for this mod.


New Commands
---------------------------
Just one: bind a key to "bank", or you'll be wondering why you never have any frags.


Known bugs
---------------------------
I haven't implemented the high scores table yet.
Bots repeat the message too many times when they cash in their stake.
