  1. I like this idea. There is a community map with a similar theme called Groundhog day, check it out in the meantime!
  2. If you add it to a group (for example, group 1 and 2) and you know your primary hotkey (z in my case but it might be x for some?), you can activate it very easily with just hotkeys. Just press 1-z-2-z every 30 seconds and that's it. You don't even need to move your mouse or remember which SoW is active; all you have to do is to remember to push those 4 buttons (I usually push them every 15-20 secs to be sure). Yeah it could be easier by making it a global, always-active effect, but imo it's already easy enough and extremely powerful. Many people want to nerf this card, so I suspect that if SoW did get a QoL buff, this would be paired with other nerfs.
  3. Adding this to the new player guides
  4. By the way, @YaBro0 I looked at the subscription stats and it looks like we're going to have to remind people to subscribe lol.
  5. Just want to remind people about this youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZLtgBj59SBfIZzcYWbxJVg The BattleForge Creator's Guild was started back in the alpha testing stage, and its goal is to collect content from all battleforge creators to promote the game. Idea is that 1 big channel will reach more people than 10 small channels. Unfortunately at some point it was mostly me making videos and people just associated the channel with me, so I post more on my own channel to give others room to post here. If you are interested in battleforge content creation (especially if you're not sure you're dedicated enough to make 100+ videos on your own channel), we encourage you to make videos here! And this is a good central BF channel to subscribe to and promote to friends
  6. I'm always happy to make more rookie reviews Not a very popular series in the past but with all the new players, maybe that will change!
  7. Yeah, this one's funny Since shadow mage knocks back M units, it can be a good way to get a large cc in PvP, if you properly time the nether warp.
  8. My wife has tried playing PvP and so far her strategy was "wow harvester is op" . . . "so I will use harvester" Pure shadow is strong at many different levels. As a beginner against beginners, harvester is a very reliable win condition. It requires almost no micro to use effectively, and it usually requires higher micro to beat it. So if you think pure shadow is fun, go for it! There are free PvP decks so you can try it out at no cost Unfortunately, it can be hard to find beginners to play PvP with, so I'd recommend looking in the chat for other PvP beginners. There's also a rookie's PvP tournament, so check that out!
  9. There is a PvE TD mode. Umbawabe TD, I think it's called. But you're on your honor not to play spells and if you don't use spells, you need to play t1 fire or nature (all other towers just miss walking units)
  10. @Toggy Why don't you just make 2 sections?
  11. Although BattleForge is an RTS, I think its PvP is a lot more like real-time chess than typical RTSs. Chess doesn't need fog of war, and PvP doesn't either.
  12. Wait why no bracket reset? Also what happens in a timeout? I noticed the custom maps have a longer time limit on them...
  13. Upgrades will definitely help, but I think it should be possible to beat all campaign maps with the starter cards if you are super super good and know all the tricks for each map. I think there is a youtube playlist out there somewhere of someone beating all expert maps with the old F2P deck (which is worse than the current one). For example, blight expert is beaten by a single player with starter cards here (upgrade 3 and with werebeast instead of spearmen) Imo the card that will help the most on expert is nightguard. A lot of the really hard maps are hard because you get attacked by strong L units in t1/t2, and with nightguard you can just steal those units for yourself . If you are playing with many people, decomposer also helps a lot, since you can funnel all power into one player who goes t4 and clears things for everyone else.
  14. Updated to include Dallarian's Expert map guide, Maze's Marketplace Journal, and lefroost's Rendered artwork.
  15. Edited topic to include felkin's PvP discord
  16. Nice set of balance changes and bugfixes
  17. Ultakool's main point was that the free pvp decks are completely known by your opponent. If you have a fire nature deck, for example, I can build t3 right next to you because I know that you don't have scorched earth. If I'm not sure if you're using the free decks as-is, I should be concerned about that card.
  18. Please no no no no no. This card is just shy of viable in pvp and is completely game winning if you get it up. Think cliffdancers but way stronger. Termite hill can even be considered OP in its current state because it can be heavily abused on the most popular 2v2 map (which is especially lame because you know the map ahead of time in sparring). Only reason its not more common is that some players did that in the OST and became really hated by the 2v2 community.
  19. Want to throw my support here too. Or even changing the window from 5 to 10 minutes would help, as a 10 minute window is much easier to handle any irl mini-emergencies.
  20. Haha, I'd say that's a feature rather than a bug. It opens many other opportunities to micro and is the only defense in certain situations. It can also be used in some speedruns for defending certain situations, and is one of the advantages of larger unit sizes. It yoi don't like burrowers being bodyblocked by small units, may I suggest hurricane?
  21. Not a dev, but I've played with my wife many times (sometimes we even swap computers) with no problem, so unless something has changed I think you'll be fine

    PvP Replays Site

    There is not one, although I recall @anonyme0273 was trying to build one a few years back? I support bringing this back, especially if it's built right into the forums I guess the devs can now focus on things other than release now, so we may see an official response on this now (fingers crossed)?
  23. As far as I'm aware, there isn't a list of the BattleForge Discord servers (If there is, I guess the mods can lock this one and pin that one ) Please let me know if I missed any, and I'll add them here. Skylords Reborn: This is the main discord server, run by official moderaters from the Skylords Reborn team. Here you can find announcments, development updates, links to the test server, and general chat rooms. Skylords Reborn Balance Changes: This is an official discord, used for discussing balance changes. You can't participate in most channels unless you are voted as a "community representative," but you can read the discussion, offer thoughts in a general channel, or PM a representative with your suggestion. Skylords Tutors and Apprentices: This was originally for PvP tutoring, but has evolved to a place where anyone can ask for help (but most members are PvP players). I don't think it's an official discord, but @Ultrakool is still one of the moderators Skylords Reborn Creator's Guild: This is an unofficial discord. This is a discord for content creators to come together and help each other. If you are interested in growing the largest BattleForge youtube channel, this is the community to join. Skylords Map Community:This is an unofficial discord, for map creators! Skylords Reborn PvP: This is an unoffical discord for PvP matchmaking, set up by @felkin Allegedly there's a Russian discord server as well, for helping translate the game for Russians that don't speak another language. I don't have a link to that one though.... Please let me know if I missed any other unoffical discords! (I'm guessing there's a speedrun discord somewhere I don't know about?). If you make a BattleForge related discord in the future, you can also write a post here and I'll add it to the main list.
