  1. Arabika asked me to provide what I know since I have encountered it already multiple times. First, it does not relate to the current patch, since I have seen this almost since I began playing. Here are the things that I have noticed that might trigger this: * Using CC, especially sleep * Using cliffs, so you can damage a unit, and they can't hit them back * It may have to do with the unit moving towards the Swamps but then decides to move back to the original position (out of range or cliffs). Most often, I have seen this on Defending Hope when attacking the Abomination that guards the path toward Rogan, and on Encounters with Twilight when using either the cliffs or the walls to make it impossible for XL-units to hit the Swampeys. I'm not 100% sure, but I think I have also seen it once without any cliffs/walls involved but just moved back with CC to stay constantly out of range, so my best bet is that it has something to do with units returning to their original spot
  2. I would argue making it REALLY pure buildings makes it harder, not easier.
  3. Any chance we will see this fixed? I had the same expierience, and I think having a "buildings/spells only" that requires a workaround to have a unit is rather lackluster.
  4. Unfortunatly you are too late, the name was decided a while ago and will be Wasteland Terror
  5. I was already thinking about "we reached a nice number of 69 participants", but decided against it πŸ˜‰
  6. I just sent out all prizes. This concludes all business concerning the Crappy Community Contest #5.
  7. Hello again Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings; it's time to announce the winners! First of all, I’d like to thank everyone for making the Crappy Community Contest #5 happen – no matter in what way: participation, sponsoring prizes, spreading the word or helping me to organize it. In total, we reached a total number of 69 participants – thanks to the Skylords Team for sponsoring the code: PROP-HECY-PROP-HECY Here are the fastest prophets of the CCC #5: 1st place Wanky 06:59 2nd place Donaar 07:11 3rd place Trando 07:13 4th place Arabika 07:14 5th place Hauclir 07:51 6th place Lebovin 08:02 7th place Brand 08:17 8th place SylarXII 08:25 9th place Amperium 08:32 10th place Bini_Inibitor 08:39 I wonder if Mo will embrace his new destiny. Congratulations to the winners! If you are interested, see below for the top 3 replays and some information about how the fastest times were achieved. Winners of the Random Draws: Draw 1 Forest Elder (G) Lbcho Draw 2 Dreadnought Ragenarok Draw 3 Firedancer LEBOVIN Draw 4 Harvester Cheyan Draw 5 Amii Monument NightRider Draw 6 Enlightenment F10 Draws 7-11, one Fire Booster each: TheAquanix, Ulloo, Doomdragons, TKHHunt, Metagross31 Draws 12-14, one General Booster each: Kociula, Little_Ducky, Maert I will send you all prizes as soon as possible through in-game mail. Total list of achieved times In case you want to know how you stacked up, here is the total list of submitted times: Special Feature: A work of art Replays and how it was won CCC5_06.59_Wanky.pmv CCC5_07.11_Donaar.pmv CCC5_07.13_Trando.pmv In conclusion I was already super-hyped for this contest because of the generous donations that came in even before the contest started (and nobody knew what it was about) - thanks so much for your trust to those generous sponsors: @Simplifying, @Donaar, @wanky, @Doomdragons, @Kemek, the anonymous donor, and of course as always, the Skylords Reborn Team. Also, again I'd like to thank @CrazyCockerell, @Emmaerzeh and @LEBOVIN for helping/making the map - without this support such contests wouldn't be possible. The target for CCC#5 was to hit the mark more closely what we are used to: a fun challenge, but at the same time something worthwhile for a more hardcore approach. I'm always impressed by the dedication of our speedrunners. I blame EA for all those stuck wagons some of them had to endure. If you have a crappy idea for future CCC's you may share and discuss that with me, maybe I host your idea, or you can host your own Crappy Contest! Feel free to contact me anytime. If you want to discuss or host a non-crappy contest, contact our Event Managers @Minashigo Hiko and/or @Metagross31. They are super supportive and will help you to organize your event!
  8. It's over on 23:59, using this clock: https://time.is/CEST
  9. Today is the last day - make sure to fulfil the prophecy before 23:59 CEST, otherwise the Gods will be disappointed!
  10. Thanks for the cool guide, that should help alot of new players who wonder how a Bata Deck works πŸ˜ƒ
  11. NAME: see title DESCRIPTION: Passage to Darkness, Position 4, T3 - Northern Well. You can spawn a L-Size unit at a spot where it is stuck (see screenshot).

  12. Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings; and welcome to CCC #5 – the fifth Crappy Community Contest! THE CONTEST HAS ENDED. To see the winners, CLICK HERE. If you are just here to grab the booster code, there you go: PROP-HECY-PROP-HECY What are β€œCrappy Community Contests”? This and future CCC's are meant to be small-scale contests with weird challenges, hopefully luring you away from well-trodden paths. They are small-scale on the organizers side too: there will be no stream, video or event announcing the winners. What's special about these contests is a participation price for the whole community. What, when, where, how? While the last CCC was about prevailing under harsh conditions, this one will be the exact opposite: Prophecy, Prophecy, PROPHECYYY! Mo has been chosen by the gods. All the forces of Nyn want him to become the new King of the Fire Tribes - it falls upon you to fulfill the PROPHECY as fast as you can! This challenge is to win the Custom 1-player-map β€œCCC #5 - PROPHECY!” on Expert difficulty as fast as you can. This custom map is a copy of the campaign map Oracle, with two β€œsmall” changes: You will have access to 16 Orbs (4 of each color) right from the start The gods have also granted you 10,000 additional energy As you can see, for this challenge your wildest deck building dreams have come true; you may combine any cards you want! The fastest Skylord will win this challenge, in the unlikely case of a tie, the run that has been submitted earlier gets the higher placement in the ranks. The contest has started with the release of this post – submit your entry through Discord (DM to Kapo#0116) or the Skylords Forum (DM to @Kapo) until 28.05.2022 23:59 CET (= 7 days time total). You can submit multiple times, but only the fastest will count. Please note that the Top 3 Replays will be posted here in the forums. To reduce my workload, you may rename your file to CCC5_Time_<IGN>.pmv (e.g. CCC5_15.53.9_Kapo.pmv). Battleforge automatically saves a replay file of every match you play, the last game is named autosave.pmv. You can find your replays here: Documents => Battleforge => replays Community Maps How to access the map: Basic Expert Help What's the price pool? Since this is not just a Crappy Contest, but a Crappy Community Contest, you may help with your participation to earn a price for the whole Community. If we reach more than 20 participants (unique players, not entries), we will unlock a Mini-Booster code for the entire Skylords Community. If more than 30 participants enter, the code will be upgraded to a Booster instead of a Mini-Booster. So tell your fellow Skylords to try this challenge – it may take some time, but it's an occasion to try something completely new, and it raises our chances to hand out a code for everybody. Of course, the fastest Skylords will get prices too, sponsored by myself, the Community and the Skylords Reborn Team: 1st place 5 Fire Boosters + Promo Swamp Drake 2nd place 4 Fire Boosters + Promo Rogan Kayle 3rd place 3 Fire Boosters + Promo Lyrish Knight 4th place 2 Fire Boosters + Mo 5th place 1 Fire Booster + Mo 6th place Wheel of Gifts 7th place Spitfire 8th place Core Dredge (B) 9th place Church of Negation 10th place Cluster Explosion (P) Last place Juice Tank (x4) For participation, there is a random chance to win one of the following cards: Random Draws 5x1 Fire Booster, 3x1 General Booster, Forest Elder (G), Dreadnought, Firedancer, Harvester, Amii Monument, Enlightenment Sponsors If one or more mighty Skylord(s) decides to sponsor this event, please contact me. I would be more than happy to beef up or expand the prize pool, add additional random draws, or any other upgrades to the prize pool. The following prices have been sponsored so far: Skylords Team Fire Boosters (x20), Community Booster Code @Kapo Promo Swamp Drake, Promo Rogan Kayle, Promo Lyrish Knight @Simplifying Firedancer, Harvester, Mo (x2), Core Dredge (P), Church of Negation, Cluster Explosion (P), Spitfire @Donaar Dreadnought, Juice Tank (x4) Anonymous Forest Elder (G), Wheel of Gifts @wanky Amii Monument @Doomdragons General Booster (x3) @Kemek Enlightenment * Simplifying, a player who stopped playing, also donated his complete account. This is the third contest his collection is sponsoring - he expressed how nice the community is, and he wanted to give something back through the CCC. Special thanks and Conclusion My very special thanks goes out to @CrazyCockerell, @Emmaerzeh and @LEBOVIN who all helped me to get this contest idea going - as it turns out, it isn't really easy to rework a campaign map into a custom map without breaking lots of stuff. I hope you are having fun with limitless deck possibilities and loads of energy! Good luck, give those Bandits a dose of Skylords Wrath they have never seen! Kapo Future Events - get involved! If you are interested in helping with these (or better) kinds of events for the community, or want to host one yourself, don't be afraid and simply reach out! Contact our beloved Event Managers @Minashigo Hiko and/or @Metagross31 on the forums or discord. They are happy to assist you with upcoming events and with sponsoring your prize pool! If you especially like this small-scale-format, and you have an idea for it, you may also contact me directly to discuss your idea and host your own Crappy Community Contest.
  13. My pure nature run beat Kserske by a second! HYPE! Looking forward to the stream πŸ™‚
  14. Time/speed is the best and fairest metric we have in Battleforge, that's 100% sure. So any feedback/criticism in that direction is absolutely warranted. For this contest, I took the "time submitted" just for the reason to shake things up a little, fully on purpose, while still knowing that speed would have been the better tie-breaker. One thing I have learned though is that it would have been fairer if the contest had started at the weekend, so more Skylords get the opportunity to make a quick run. What I can promise is that "time submitted" will not be a core staple in the CCC, since no matter how you do it, you exclude some people who just don't have the time to make a run instantly when the contest starts.
  15. Its not really about being good or bad at the game, it also was some Test of Tenacity. If you put your mind to the task, this challenge is doable. Here are the Replays of the Top 5 winners: CCC4_2_Bobishere.pmv CCC4_2_Gam3over.pmv CCC4_2_Mati.pmv CCC4_2_MephistoRoss.pmv CCC4_2_Trando.pmv I also just sent out all prices. This concludes all business concerning the Crappy Community Contest #4.
  16. You snatched it away from another Skylord last minute... and... you exactly know that πŸ˜‰ I didn't add that information because I usually don't shame last places haha
  17. Hello again Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings; it's time to announce the winners! First of all, I’d like to thank everyone for making the Crappy Community Contest #4 happen – no matter in what way: participation, sponsoring prizes, spreading the word or helping me to organize it. In total, we reached a total number of 48 participants – thanks to the Skylords Team for sponsoring the code: CCC4-MOMO-MOMO-MOMO Top Skylords of CCC #4: 1st place MephistoRoss 2nd place Trando 3rd place Mati 4th place Gam3over 5th place Bobisphere 6th place Doomdragons 7th place cacolamo 8th place Dyr 9th place Mocaak 10th place Maert They all reached the same score of 2 Points, so the time of the submission was the deciding factor. In all cases the two cards used were a tower for (air) defense activating Mo (Blaster Cannon, Lifestealer, Primal Defender) and an T3-unit for attacking (Swamp Drake, Northland Drake, Lost Horror). The fastest of these submissions was Mocaak with a time of 27m43s. Winners of the Random Draws: Draw 1 Reverend830 Enlightenment Draw 2 Ponni Enlightenment Draw 3 RipHunter Infect Draw 4 Endan Avatar of Frost Draw 5 CuriousnTT Disenchant (G) Draw 6 General_Thugdil Amii Monument Draws 7-11 for a Bandit Booster each: erks, Vornskr666, Eirias, hauclir and Blaragha Furthermore, the bounty for the 1-card-run (that wasn't claimed) go to the best placed Skylords who didn't receive anything. One Banzai Lord (G) each: Kuuhaku, Ultor, Brand, AhRiMaN_MK, Midra, XxBlueFirexX, Stachino and Wanky. I will send you the prizes as soon as possible through in-game mail. Number of Entries vs Points Replays I posted the replays below: click here. In conclusion I think we reached a respectable amount of participants for a one-week challenge, and I received a lot of positive feedback for mixing things up and trying to come up with something new. Since different kinds of challenges and rules appeal to different Skylords, I’m happy to see new names in the list of the Top 10. So, thanks again to all who took part in this contest, and a special thanks to the sponsors: @Simplifying, @Odessa, @Donaar, @Kemek, @Bozzah and the Skylords Reborn Team. CCC #5 has already been discussed with the Event Managers, and will be more towards a fast and easy challenge again. If you have a crappy idea for future CCC's you may share and discuss that with me, maybe you can host your own Crappy Contest! Feel free to contact me anytime. If you want to discuss or host a non-crappy contest, contact our Event Managers Minashigo Hiko and/or Metagross31. They are super supportive and will help you to organize your event!
  18. If you haven’t logged in for a long time, your account was most likely reset when the beta ended. With the full release of Skylords Reborn in December 2020, there was a last and forever final reset.
  19. Then I add it as a Bounty to the article, sometimes people dont read the comments... maybe it motivates even further πŸ˜ƒ
  20. Not sure if this is a joke or an official sponsoring offer πŸ˜‰ If you want, I can add you to the list of sponsors as a "Bounty" Type if someone makes it.
  21. Duckys Answer is correct - if I would want to count uses, the rules would have stated "Charges". But that would be overly complicated and not really fun to count uses of a card. Just take your deck and count the cards you took to the map, including rarities of course.
