Dragon Ball Z: Bid For Power is a mod for Quake III that is fast paced deathmatch action modeled specifically after the Japanese anime Dragonball Z. Bid For Power incorporates characters, levels, attacks as well as many other aspects of the TV show and reconstructs them into the Quake III engine. Bid For Power adds to the element of deathmatch with several different types of multiplayer games including Free For All, Capture the Dragonballz, Last Man Standing, and The Battle for the Planet.
Free for All
Free for All is a basic deathmatch game but with use of all the attacks and characters. You will be allowed to perform 20 different attacks as well as overpower opponents by engaging in power struggles. As well as being able to use 20 attacks players will also have the ability to use special items such as the scouter and be able to perform the Kaioken technique and the Zanoken effect.
Capture the Dragonballs
The basic premise of Capture the Dragonballs is Capture the Flag but with a twist, instead of one flag you have to gather seven Dragonballs and defend them from the enemy before you can call upon the dragon (win the game).
Two (or even three) teams will be placed at separate ends of the level, in each base are seven dragon balls. Spread throughout the level are seven dragon ball mantles, three on Earth Special Forces side, three on The Saiyajin side and one in the middle.
The object of the game is to take as many Dragonballs from your home base and place them in the Dragonball mantles before the other team can.
Last Man Standing
Last Man Standing is a modification for Bid For Power that gives to the game a new game mode where all players start with all available attacks and four senszu beans, every time a player is killed he looses one of the senszu beans.
The player that has lost all of his senzu beans has to wait till the round ends to continue playing while everyone else continues to fight until only one warrior is left.
Battle for the Planet
The Battle for the Planet is a new gameplay mode for Bid For Power that places the Earth Special Forces against the evil Freeza, an incredibly strong warrior who is hell-bent on destroying the planet or against Vegeta, a sadistic killer who will stop at nothing to prove that he is the strongest. The Earth Special Forces must team together to battle the much stronger opponents.
A player is randomly selected to become the super powered Freeza/Vegeta character while everyone else can choose one of the members of the Earth Special Forces (Krillin, Gohan, Piccolo, Goku) who are equipped with an average amount of power. The player who can defeat the Freeza player then becomes the Freeza character in the next game.
If the Earth Special Forces cannot defeat Freeza before the game reaches a certain number of kills or time runs up then Freeza/Vegeta will have the ability to blow up the Planet and the game starts over again.
These type of fights take place corresponding to the stronger opponent. If the Super powered opponent were to be Freeza then the battle would take place on a Namek based map, however, if the super powered opponent was Vegeta the battle would then takes place on an earth based map.
Team Play
Team Play brings all the intensity of a Free for All game but with the orginzation teams. Now you can rely on your teammates to help you defeat the opposing teams and claim the universe for yourself. In Team Play you will have all the abilities of regular deathmatch plus the added support of tea mates.
Tenkaichi Budokai
The Tenkaichi Budokai is the ultimate tournament for Dragonball. The competitors will be able to compete against eachother in an organized set of divisions. After each round the winning opponents will be able move to the next bracket until eventually the two top winners meet and battle it out to become the greatest martial arts champion in the world.
