Suggestion C train expansion

Hello lokans, i have some proposals for how to improve loka conquest training

1. Add ctrain duels
As of now you can only practice conquest kit against people in the same alliance. This can be pretty frustrating if you have many friends across different towns and alliances and wanna practice with them a lot, especially considering that every month towns change alliances a lot. I believe its something quite a lot of people would wish for, and it would facilitate people to improve at conquest, test new tactics, etc. This option can be added in /duel screen, but also I suggest having a ctrain gamemode in /pvp screen, akin to VOTA or providing grounds. Make it so people could create public or private lobbies for c train in /pvp screen

2. Add more maps to ctrain
Loka conquest is VERY MUCH about situational awareness and utilising terrain. And while ctrain map has that, its kind of a mix of everything, and doesn't give comprehensive picture of all possible loka tiles. I suggest making more maps for ctrains that you could select, you could just copy some tiles from continents themselves. Have different maps with different elevations, numbers of trees, caves, water, lava, etc.

3. Add more options to ctrain
Add an option to use rivina rules for ctrain. Add an option to restart the lobby (clear all placed blocks and revert inhibitor to plate if it was placed, reset tgen). Add options to disable building protection area, enable or disable crystals, maybe enable or disable cobwebs, AIs, etc. If its possible, make ender chests work in ctrain. Also it would be cool if you could select mutators

4. Add ranked ctrain
Current main loka ranked mode uses tierlist diamondpot kit, which is quite different from what you'd usually use in conquest. Ranked ctrain could help people improve at important conquest skills, such as quickly placing and using shulkers, pearling, utilising terrain, using kb2 and various weapons. This would be especially useful to newer players, who die in conquest in 1 minute and dont want to play again, and have no way to practice besides just warping more unless they have friends who can ctrain with them. Players would edit kits before the fight to be whatever they want, and save it like they save c train kit now

I can see it possibly having 2 different rulesets: kill to win (like current loka ranked), or score a charge to win. In case of the first ruleset, i propose to add cooldown on kb swords to prevent people from just running around for an hour. Also i propose disabling conquest building protection with this ruleset. In case of the 2nd ruleset i propose some nerf to an axe, as it makes it trivial to stop someone from taking a charge unless they're way better than you.

P.s:
This is just my opinion of everything that I personally would want, if you disagree with some of it thats fine, but i think most players will agree that at least some of this should be added, and i invite productive criticism and discussion to this thread

Why would we ever add c train duels or a ranked mode? It would defeat the purpose of real conquest by just turning it into an on-demand mini game...

Then why do u have two ranked modes with kits that are used nowhere on your server outside of those modes? What im proposing is for practice, it will have just a handful of people in a lobby probably, like it is now, real conquest will have hundreds of people and continent caps at stake

what about instead having it like proving grounds where people can make there own mini server for it, cause frankly the alliance restriction is so painful where as proving grounds is never used but has the perfect place for a ctrain addition
 
the c train settings would be very useful, but the ranked mode would just make conquest overplayed/overdone and may make it far less meaningful.
As i already said, real conquest has actual stakes, and noone will rally 100 ppl for a ctrain lol. And what's wrong with overplaying it, whats wrong with practicing? Rn the learning curve is way too steep, especially if u haven't played some sort of potion pvp before, many new players have no way to practice, just die a bunch of times in 10 seconds and never log on again. Not to mention that, again, the server has ranked gamemodes already, and none of them are using a kit that is actually used on loka
