Skylords and Skyladies;
Masters of the Forge will shine a light on all those people working so tirelessly on Skylords Reborn - for the average Skylord, [Game Masters] are elite, mythical creatures too many know nothing about, and we will hopefully change that. So, in this dev-talk-like podcast series we will meet several Masters of the Forge in person, and hopefully I will be able to ask them questions that are interesting to you. And, you will also get the chance to ask them some questions! The series will be streamed on Twitch and afterwards uploaded on YouTube.
Please note that while the content created is supported by the SR Team and will be all about Skylords Reborn, this is no official dev-talk. The focus will be around the guest, what their duties are, how they feel about the game and its development - we will not elaborate future changes in depth or announce anything fancy. But hopefully we will know more about the guest and how It's like to be part of the SR Team.
In the ninth episode, I will interview [GM] @Emmaerzeh and [GM] @Hodron; both from the map department, to explore the territory of map-making in regard to (official) campaign maps, community maps and specialities like the Battle Arena.
Quick Overview:
Guests                        [GM] Emmaerzeh & [GM] Hodron Date                           28. 12. 2023 Time                          19:30 CET Link                            www.twitch.tv/kapostream

Hello Skylords,
After starting the Masters of the Forge, I had the setup ready to record some videos - and since I was always drawn to Pure Nature, I thought it would be nice to have some chill sessions and record all necessary maps for the Mana Wing Promo.
In the playlist linked below, you will find a complete collection of Pure Nature playthroughs - I might also add some bonus content, especially if there are some requests.
CLICK HERE FOR THE PLAYLIST
This content is in honour of BadKen, who did the same back in the days, and I remember very fondly that his content helped me a lot not only to understand how to play Nature, but also how the more tricky expert maps work.
See you in the Forge, fellow Skylords!

I took 69 minutes from my life but I managed Sundbrige solo for the Urban Planner Challenge  
 
Thanks for the guides.

HOW TO SUPPORT


Not so rarely new Skylords ask a simple question on Discord or the forums: How can I help? As we all wish for more players, there are things you can do to help to make Skylords Reborn succeed. Skylords Reborn can be supported through many actions, some of them are just two minutes for some clicks, others are a long-term commitment.
Important Disclaimer: This guide does not rank people by importance - these are suggestions how to help the game succeed, ranked by their needed involvement level. Also, you don't have to “climb this ladder” to become part of the Skylords Reborn team.
Hopefully some of these suggestions speak to you, and inspire you to take some action:

 
 SOLDIER
Quick Tier - the most helpful clicks to settle in
Help drive the most essential metric by subscribing to the official Skylords YouTube channel, and like the trailer. Join the Skylords Discord to stay on top of news, and help build an enjoyable community. Subscribe to the other official Skylords Reborn socials: Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and TikTok.  CHAMPION
Basic Tier - become a part of the community
Subscribe to BattleForge content creators, and like their videos if you enjoy them. Participate in events - not just for prizes, but to support event hosts. Make sure beginners are welcomed properly: Answer questions, and play multiplayer maps with them. Read the monthly Community Update and help spread correct information about the state of the project. Interact with forum posts or Discord messages through likes, emoticons etc. - the creators will appreciate that. Make a proper bug report when you encounter a bug or crash. This rarely happens, but: report rule violations, either ingame or on the #contact-staff Discord channel. Suggest the game to people you know that will enjoy a RTS/TCG game, but make sure you coordinate with the Skylords team Outreach Coordinator when contacting high profile people or outlets.  HERO
Dedicated Tier - invest some time to make the Skylords experience better
Accompany some Twitch streamers, while the community is still small, one viewer more or less makes a huge difference. Participate in the votes or share your decks on the SMJ community deck section. Become an educator: Help others understand core concepts like void power or faction mechanics, and give advice on expert maps on the ingame strategy channel or on the deckbuilding channel on Discord. Write a beginner guide or a deck building/strategy guide on the forum, or a more general one like the one you are reading right now. Create something: make a painting, a graphic, a short clip, a song, a text, a meme, an animated GIF or just some cookies, and share it in the art, video or meme channel. Become a sponsor of a community contest/event to beef up its prize pool. Join the discussion and give quality feedback on the Balance Discord.
   SKYLORD
 Invested Tier - halfway down the rabbit hole
Become a Contributor: There are several roles that don't require you to join the team, like Map Tester, Translator, Proofreader, Art Critique, or Internal Tester. Get involved into more detail-focussed Discords, like lore, descriptions, mapmaking, or rPvE. Help maintain the Skylords Reborn Wiki by either adding or updating articles. Create an enjoyable community map. Host an event for other Skylords to enjoy, be it PvE, PvP or something else. Contribute to Skylords Open Source projects. Become a content creator on YouTube, or start to stream the game on Twitch.  

Maybe this rather long list inspired you to help in one way or another. 
As a final suggestion: If you have free resources, you might be interested in joining the Skylords Reborn team and directly work on the game to make it better! Please be aware that almost everybody thinks “I'm not good enough” at first. Don't let that stop you! There are loads of different positions for nearly every skill set. 
 


If you have any suggestion about something I missed, please write it in a comment down below, so I may add it!

Today is the day! On 19:30 CET is go-time 😃

I would recommend reading this if you are interested in our approach to rarities: SkylordsRebornDesign_Rarities.pdf

As regards the ratio, the original ratio between the various rarities is 3-3-3-1, and based on that ratio, the number of rare cards in the game is substantially less than it is supposed to be. While it is unlikely we can ever properly fix the ratio due to the overabundance of ultra-rares, many of which do not justify their own rarity, we do intend to equalize the disparity between common/uncommon/rare. 

It is also important to differentiate between the amount of a certain rarity in the entire game and the amount of a certain rarity within a faction. In terms of Lost Souls, if we do not account for affinities: there are 7 common cards, 6 uncommon cards, 4 rares, and 2 ultra-rares. So even within Lost Souls itself, there are a lack of rare cards. 

Greetings Skylords!
A new month; a new Community Update! It's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!

 
• Skylord Reborn 3rd Anniversary

The 3rd anniversary of Skylords Reborn is almost here! After returning to the world of Nyn on the 18th of December 2020, our volunteer team has worked tirelessly to expand upon the original BattleForge with new content, quality-of-life changes, and new features. Skylords Reborn has expanded upon the original game by adding quests, achievements, cosmetics, reforging, new enemy factions for rPvE, overhauls of the community map sections, UI improvements, brand-new cards, new voice-lines, many balance changes, and much more!
We are grateful that we were not only successful in bringing the game back, and are now able to celebrate its 3rd anniversary with this lovely community. For this occasion, we would like to give you a sneak peek of an upcoming new campaign map, planned for release in 2024.
To do so, we invite all of you to join us on Monday, the 18th of December, at 20:00 CET for a special anniversary stream on our official Twitch channel. Alongside some information about our upcoming content, there will also be giveaways and a Q&A. So come chill with us!

Whether you have been with us all this time, or only recently stumbled upon the project, thank you! We hope you celebrate both the past and the future with us on the 18th!
 
• Changes to the recommended system requirements

BattleForge is an old game; it released all the way back in 2009. As Skylords Reborn continues its development, we are having a look at its system requirements. We have decided to remove our minimum system requirements, and increase our recommended requirements. Of course, removing a minimum system requirement does not automatically mean anything lower than the Recommended will not work.
We are dropping the Minimum system requirements
• CPU: Single Core 1.8Ghz
• CPU Speed: Core 1.8Ghz
• RAM: Windows XP - 512MB, Vista and Windows 7+ - 1GB
• OS: Windows XP (with service pack 2) Vista, Windows 7 or higher.
• Video Card: 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 6 Series+ / ATI Radeon 9500+
• Disk Space: At least 13GB. 
Instead, these are now the Recommended system requirements:
• CPU: Core i3 7400T / Ryzen 3 1200 (X86 compatible)
• RAM: at least 6GB
• OS: Windows 10 or higher.
• Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 / ATI Radeon HD 7770 (Direct X 11 compatible)
• Disk Space: 14GB of free space.
Notes and reasoning
While we don't want to exclude potential players, constantly keeping old and outdated systems in mind is increasing the chance for issues and delaying development. Even so, we'd like to take a moment to explain our reasoning for increasing each requirement.
Skipping over 16 years of CPU might seem like too big of a jump. However, people will default to maximum details on 10+ years old game, and they will play it on significantly bigger resolutions. Back then, 1024x768 was considered big screen, while these days 1920x1080 is considered entry level resolutions, which have 2.64 times more pixels. The same reasoning applies for the GPU. 
A recommendation of 6GB of RAM might seem like an overkill, but we are adding features that consume RAM, and it shouldn't be a problem for most modern PC's to meet this requirement. Rest assured this will never increase again, because the game can't use more than 4GB of RAM (the remaining 2GB are for OS and other applications running alongside Skylords Reborn). 
We are also dropping support for Windows 7. Technically, Windows 7 should still work just fine, but due to the very low % of players running this operating system, we will not be rolling back major updates for it anymore. Lastly, the Disk Space increase. We are currently at 13.3 GB for game files, and community maps, logs, etc. can easily be in 100's of MB. Its likely this requirement will further increase in the future. 
 
• New Card Reveal - Lost Manabeast

A while ago, we showcased some upcoming changes and reworks coming to the Lost Souls faction. We are happy to announce we are nearing completion on this faction rework. Alongside implementing those changes, we have also been working on a new card to add to the faction to further enhance its playstyle. Introducing: The Lost Manabeast as a player card!
 

Design notes: Lost Souls has an odd T3 in that it has two ground XL-units and one flying L-unit with conditional siege range. Of these, only Lost Horror is widely used in PvE, Lost Grigori sees some PvP play, and Lost Vigil is mostly unused except in niche situations. Most factions have a wider variety of viable options in PvE at this point, and Lost Souls lacks a low-cost ground L-unit, forcing players to rely on cards like Ashbone Pyro to fill the gap. We therefore wanted to provide a Lost Souls unit to fit this role for those players who want to play a purely Lost Souls deck, while also adding something to synergize with Lost Souls's unique revenant mechanic. Our first thought was to add in Lost Manabeast, since it has an existing model and artwork. Because the unit was primarily designed for PvE usage, we decided to make it a ranged unit as a player card. From here, we thought about how to make it work with Revenant's Doom without directly stepping on the toes of Revenant's Blessing. Revenant's Blessing extends the lifespan of all revenant units, similar to how Ice Age works with Ice Shields, but once it ends, the timer continues to run down as it did previously. For Lost Manabeast, we decided to create an ability called Immortalize that would refresh the lifespan of a revenant back to 25 seconds. This should allow players to alternate between using Manabeast's free ability and Revenant's Blessing. Immortalize is also usable while Lost Manabeast is a revenant, which should enable players to maintain fully revenant armies more easily and efficiently.
 
 
 
Let's break down the card: 
 
Ectoplasmic Shock
Every 3 seconds, the unit launches deadly ectoplasm that deals 230 damage to enemies in a 10m radius around its target, up to 345 in total. The ectoplasm lingers for 5 seconds, absorbing the life essence of any enemy that dies in the area. Additionally, enemies in the area are slowed and may only move at normal walk speed.
 
Immortalize
Active to refresh the duration of every Revenant's lifetime in a 25m radius. Needs to have gathered the life essence of 7 enemy units first. Reusable every 15 seconds.
 
Revenant's Doom
Activate to bestow the unit with a curse that will make it resurrect in case it dies. The resurrected revenant will only be a shadow of its former self, but it will be endowed with the same abilities and equal in strength. After 25 seconds, the revenant will then die once and for all. May only be triggered once.
 
For the artwork, our artist Tweeto made some adjustments to the NPC-artwork currently in the game, mostly adding that classic Lost Soul flame to the look. Lost Manabeast will be a rare, drop from boosters, and can be reforged into. It will not have different affinities. It is planned for a release in our next content patch. We hope you are looking forward to it!

What you could do is a run with upgrades - I think seeing the playstyle is more important then if its upgraded or not
Awesome Tutorial, as always from the mighty Cocofang 😃

Yeah first UR has a change of 20%
The change that you have two in a row is 20% * 20% -> 4%
and the chance that the second UR is the same as the first one is 1/69 aka1,44% 
Card1 (20%)    *    Card2 (20% * 1,44%)      ->      0,057%
Also not an expert but in my head that sound plausible 🧐

Skylords and Skyladies;
Masters of the Forge will shine a light on all those people working so tirelessly on Skylords Reborn - for the average Skylord, [Game Masters] are elite, mythical creatures too many know nothing about, and we will hopefully change that. So, in this dev-talk-like podcast series we will meet several Masters of the Forge in person, and hopefully I will be able to ask them questions that are interesting to you. And, you will also get the chance to ask them some questions! The series will be streamed on Twitch and afterwards uploaded on YouTube.
Please note that while the content created is supported by the SR Team and will be all about Skylords Reborn, this is no official dev-talk. The focus will be around the guest, what their duties are, how they feel about the game and its development - we will not elaborate future changes in depth or announce anything fancy. But hopefully we will know more about the guest and how It's like to be part of the SR Team.
In the eight episode, I will interview [GM] @Maze, Web Developer; who besides is working on this website is most famous for his awesome and gorgeous Website SMJ.
Quick Overview:
