At some point it is more or less clear who will be the winners and who will be outside of top 3. For the loosers the game is not really intersting anymore. Could there be secondary objectives to go for? Like in the Tour de France? E.g. Red jersey for most aggresive player, green jersey for most drillers produced.

we thought about this, too. in rated games each rank matters in terms of the effect it has on your rating. beyond that we're not sure what to do that would feel meaningful in terms of making the players engaged in the game.

I like the idea of achievements and medals. For most of the ones I could think of, people who are winning are gonna win the secondary goals too... For achievements, people could work together for most of them I guess, I dunno if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Medals
- Most captured specialists
- Furthest distance traveled
- Most map visibility
- Most drillers produced (like you mentioned already)
- Highest production rate
- Most opponent drillers destroyed
- Fewest opponent drillers destroyed
- Longest range, successful attack
Achievements (could be pretty much anything)
- Use 4 saboteurs in 1 game
- Destroy 100 drillers with a sentry in 1 game
- Win 5 sub-to-sub combats in 1 game
- Destroy opponent 500 subs in 1 game
- Don't initiate any attacks in 1 game
- Destroy 1,000 drillers (10,000 drillers, 20,000 drillers, etc.)
- Capture 5 opponent specialists in 1 game
- Have 200 shields present at 1 outpost
- Have at least 10 specialists, but none at the same outpost

Perhaps combined with some art work? E.g. Longst range succesfull attack gives you a medal with a picture of a Marksman.

Would also love to see something like this. Potentially involving "unlockables" that could include medals. Perhaps also to bring customization in a bit. Would be cool if unlocking certain secondary objectives opened up personal portrait art (seriously though. The specialists have cool art. What do I look like? If I want that dude with the scar, I'm gonna have to stay in this game and...)
