    I have made multiple cards and will update this post when I create more. I have not yet decided which ones I will be sending in for the event, so I will be collecting them here.

    Welcome to the Official Anniversary Card Design Contest!

     
     
    THE CONTEST HAS ENDED.
    To see all winning entries, CLICK HERE
     
     
     
     
    Anniversaries are special opportunities – and we like to take this head-on and really show that Skylords Reborn is for the Community, by the Community! A contest like this has often been suggested, now is the time to ask you for your card development ideas.
     
    In this contest, you are called to submit your idea for a new card,
    which will be presented to high-ranking jurors for judgement.


    The jurors for this will be the designers @Hirooo, @RadicalX and @WindHunter – for those who don't know, these are the guys who are calling the shots in the SR Team about what makes the cut for new content.
    Important note: Of course, there is no obligation for the SR Team to make any entry into a real card. But, a good idea that really fits into the game has a lot of power, and your idea will be heard, seen and judged anonymously and without any barrier of entry.
    The contest starts with the reveal of this post and ends on the 1st of January 2023, 23:59 CET. Submit your entry through Discord (DM to Kapo#0116) or the Skylords Forum (DM to @Kapo). I will anonymize the entries, present them to the jury, and after a voting phase the winners will be revealed.
     

    Rules:
    Your idea must be a new card (NOT a rework of an already existing card or a Promo card) Units and buildings must be fitting for an already existing model (this is a technical limitation, but re-texturing can do wonders) Unfortunately, we also can't allow for Fire/Frost or Rainbow-cards (or any other outside the known factions, due to technical limitations) You are asked to create the fully upgraded version (see below: Things you don't need to add) By entering, you are giving away your card idea with permission to modify it  – the final design may differ from your submission here You are limited to a maximum of TWO entries - if you win on both, you will recieve the higher price You are asked to use the following template:
     
    Things you don't need to add:
    Rarity Upgrade Levels (submit a fully upgraded design) Number of Charges Artwork for the card At the end of the contest, we may make a compilation of the entries – by participating, you automatically agree to be included in that.
     
    Suggestions:
    In preparation for this contest, we asked the jurors to drop some hints on what is needed for a good design.
    You might not want to create a new super-powerful card, but a card that's interesting. Maybe it fills a special niche case in a faction (like Burning Spears), or it is special, or meme-worthy (like Easter Egg). Balance is important! The best cards are useful, fill essential roles, and are not overpowered. If you design a T1 or T2 card, think about PvP implications. Fit the card to the faction: Think about the intentional strengths and weaknesses of each faction. Potentially, you see an extremely missing card in an arsenal, but that could be part of that faction's design. Also, breaking core rules of the game requires a very, very, very good reason. For both topics, see: Design Philosophy Document. You are allowed to submit a legendary (neutral) card, but please note those are much harder to design and balance properly. You may present some optical aid to the jurors: On https://smj.cards/creator you can easily create your own card-mockup:
     



    Voting and Prize Tiers:
    PLATINUM TIER
    Platinum tier are creations that REALLY could be considered to be added to the game. They must not be all-around perfect, since someone who is not on the SR team cannot know about every problem faced when implementing cards. Platinum entries are cool, captivating and would be a great addition to the game.
    Platinum tier winners will win a low-grade promo of choice (e.g., Fallen Skyelf, Lyrish Knight or Rogan Kayle) or Ultra-Rare of choice of similar value (Infect, Forest Elder etc.). Should your card some day make it into the game, you will get it for your own collection.
     
    GOLD TIER
    Gold tier suggestions are cool and interesting suggestions, but are lacking significantly in ONE (but only one!) way:
    Unbalanced design with no way to repair that Clearly impossible to implement  Too niche to be worth the implementation Not fitting for any faction or into the game Not really a fitting, existing model in the game etc. Gold tier winners will win a Booster, accompanied by an (good) Rare or (medium) Ultra Rare card.
     
    SILVER TIER
    Silver Tier suggestions are solid suggestions, but are lacking in more than one way to make it into the game. For examples of what could cause issues, see the mentioned list above.
    Silver tier winners will win a Booster.
              

    We are looking forward to your designs! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

    Best regards,
    Skylords Reborn Team

    Hey everyone,
    Today is the second anniversary for Skylords Reborn! Join us tonight 20:00 CET (about 5 hours from this post) at https://www.twitch.tv/skylordsreborn for a celebration stream, where we look back on 2 years of this revival project, share info about the upcoming patch, host a Q&A, and more.
    To manage expectations, please note; while we are hard at work on our upcoming patch, it will not be released on the 18th.
    We hope to see you there!
  10. Dutchy liked a post in a topic by Majora in Fog of War Option for PVE/RPVE   
    Fog of War is a tool used in PvP to reward scouting. Knowing what is coming to resposition your army, or seeing a build order to know if you should build anti air/stealth, etc. But since BattleForge can spawn an army in the blink of an eye, it would mostly add frustration.
    The game is also not balanced around it, take for example firedancers: the moment you figure out where they are, your base is already under attack and probably lost. Or imagine a tier 1 situation, where you move out your unit/army, but go left, where you opponent goes right and heading straight for your base, and suddenly their whole army is in your base, while you were still scouting the map. 

    The discussion for Fog of War in PvP comes up every so often, but it just wouldn't work as well for this game. 
    As for PvE, with 3 difficulties, I dont think new players would need this, and if they really want to know a map's layout, they can always watch a replay 🙂

  12. Dutchy liked a post in a topic by Majora in Community Update #30 - December 2022   
    On a personal note; it is hard to believe this is Community Update 30 already! Preparing and writing these always takes much more time than expected, but I hope its appreciated by the playerbase.
    Community Updates started out as a way to keep the playerbase informed about all the work going on behind the scenes, as we are always working on more content, quality of life fixes or other ways to expand upon Skylords Reborn, even if it can take a while for a new patch to go live. All of this is done by a team of about 35 volunteers working in different departments on their evenings, weekends or holidays, alongside their job, studies and social responsibilities. It's always impressive to me to see how much we get done and are willing to invest into a fan project for no profit. Sometimes the workload can be a lot, but I am extremely grateful for the fact BattleForge was not only resurrected and I get to play it again, but I also get to work with a bunch of talented and passionate people in a great community. 
    Lets celebrate another year of Skylords together, and I hope to see you during the stream and in the Forge. 😄

    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!

    • 2nd Anniversary Stream

    The second anniversary of Skylords Reborn is coming up! Two years ago, on the 18th of December 2020, the world of Nyn opened its doors again, allowing more than 100.000 Skylords to re-experience this one-of-a-kind game. Since then, we have been hard at work to bring you even more content, bugfixes, new cards and other features. Skylords Reborn is truly by the fans, for the fans, and we are glad we can celebrate this second anniversary with you. 
    On Sunday the 18th of December at 20:00 CEST*, we will be hosting an anniversary stream on our official Twitch channel. We will look back on another year of Skylords Reborn, show off what will be included in our latest patch, and answer questions from the community. 
    We hope you will be joining us! 

    *Due to the busy December month, this time slot is pending, we will share the final streaming time closer to the anniversary. 
     
    • Upcoming Content Patch

    We are also hard at work to bring you a new content patch, aimed for release in December. It will include various balance changes, new cards, new achievements and a new feature.
    Last year we focused on improving the economy and introduced Reforging; a way to make use of spare cards lying around and to adjust the prices of cards, giving even worthless cards a set minimum value and a creating a soft cap on card prices to prevent runaway inflation among the best ultra rares. We also added more achievements, increasing the number of boosters players can earn to help newer players get started on their collection.
    Achievements are a great way to naturally introduce players to more cards, but also to keep players engaged with fun challenges. However, by rewarding items that interact with the economy (boosters, cards) we see some players get frustrated with achievements that provide challenges they don't enjoy or find too hard, yet feel forced to do because of the rewards.
    So we started to work on an additional reward layer, and we are proud to reveal the new upcoming feature: Cosmetics.
    With our new patch, we are introducing a bunch of new achievements focused on providing fun new challenges for players, while not having to worry about impacting the economy with their rewards. Instead, players will be able to earn special borders, banners and titles, allowing for more expression and fancy bling! Here is a little teaser:  

    Cosmetics will be part of our upcoming patch, and we will share more about it and their connected achievements in the anniversary stream. 


    • New Card Reveal: Sanctuary

    In our Nature Deep Dive back in April, we already mentioned Sanctuary, a card that has been in development ever since. Sanctuary is a new tool for Pure Nature players that provides an effect similar to Mark of the Keeper to a select number of units. 
    Please note: We are still testing the card. While we are generally happy with it, numbers and effects might still change before release. 

    Sanctuary is a new tier 4 spell for pure Nature decks, requiring four Nature orbs. The card will be Rare, and will come in two affinities. The effect of the non-upgraded version is as follows:
     
    Blessed Spellbane
    Up to 4 friendly units in a 25m radius will be wrapped in a countermagical aura. Affected units are surrounded by a spellblocking zone of 20m where enemies can neither use ranged attacks nor special abilities. Hostile players cannot play out cards within that zone. Additionally, affected units take 25% less damage. Lasts for 20 seconds. Reusable every 40 seconds.

    Gifted Spellbane
    Up to 4 friendly units in a 25m radius will be wrapped in a countermagical aura. Affected units are surrounded by a spellblocking zone of 20m where enemies can neither use ranged attacks nor special abilities. Hostile players cannot play out cards within that zone. Additionally, the duration of the immobilizing effects of Freeze and Paralyze is reduced by 75% on all affected targets. Lasts for 20 seconds. Reusable every 40 seconds.

    Sanctuary continues our work on the Nature faction, alongside various balance changes coming to the faction in our upcoming patch. Sanctuary aims to provide Nature players with a reward for playing Pure Nature decks, instead of Enlightenment decks. It is a powerful effect that covers some weaknesses with which the faction struggles.
    Sanctuary is planned to release in our next patch. 
     
    • Art Spotlight

    Work on Sanctuary started back in July, with SpiritAlpha coming up with a few sketches to explore directions. At this point, we weren't sure what the focus point would be of the spell. During design there were versions with non-nature units like the Overlord at the center of the spell. We thought it would be fun to show these very early concepts.


    The art feedback channel was home to many a discussion during the progress, with as many as eight different takes up for discussion. We had versions with the focus on a village (1, 2), a focus on a single unit (Swamp Drake 3, Giant Wyrm 4, Abyssal Warder 6) to Twilight investation around the borders, being held back by the sanctuary (8).

    After voting, the version with two dragons in the sky (5) was used to come to the final design. A big thanks to our artists SpiritAlpha and Tweeto for working on this piece and to our Art Critiques for providing feedback. As you can see, we always put a lot of thought and effort into our artworks, we hope it shows!

    The more objectives your team accomplishes, the more points you get, which will lead to greater rewards!
    Additionally, the teams with the highest number of points will receive some extra rewards.
    But there is more! Similar to the beloved Crappy Community Contests, there will be something the entire community will work towards. Once the combined points of all submitted runs surpasses a certain threshold, the prizes for everyone will be increased.

    So gather a team, polish your strategy and go for the Highscore!


    How can I participate?

    Everyone with an ingame account can participate in the event - there is no need to sign up separately.
    You just have to send in your best replay, including the player names, the time of the replay and what objectives you accomplished. [Note: Your entry has to be a victory]
    For example:
    Low points:        A, C, D; Total:     700
    Mid points:         K, L, P; Total:   1500
    High points:              all; Total:   3800

    You can send in your replays until the 02.12.2022. 

    Please note:
    You are allowed to compete with multiple teams, but only your highest score will determine the rewards you win, meaning you can only get rewards for one submission. You are allowed to compete with a team of less than 4 people, or even alone.

    What are the objectives?

    This event will have a point system: points will be rewarded by completing the following objectives. The goal is to get as many points as possible!
    You don't have to complete them all, but of course you should aim for as many points as you can in a single run.
    It is important, however, that your final score from objectives is greater than zero. Runs with a negative score do not qualify.

    * Check the FAQ for clarifications.
    Since those are a lot of objectives, we prepared a spreadsheet, which you can use to keep track of the objectives you want to complete and which player should complete them. You can find this spreadsheet here. Since this is a public spreadsheet, we recommend creating your own copy of it to not interfere with others.
    Time Score:
    There will also be points awarded for time. The faster you finish the map, the more points you will get with a maximum of 1500p.
    There are no preset time windows that determine your time score, instead your time is compared to all entries.
    This means that every second counts when it comes to your time score!
    However, you can not lose any points by having a slow time. So it is up to you to decide whether you want to go for as many objectives as possible or if you want to leave some out in the hope of getting a better time.
    You do not have to calculate the time score yourself, we will calculate the time score for every entry.
    For a detailed explanation on how the time score is calculated, see the FAQ below.
     
    FAQ     
    In order to reduce confusion about the objectives, we have precompiled a list of questions you might have and answered them beforehand.
    If you have any questions about one of the objectives, please check this FAQ first.
    If your question is not yet answered in the FAQ, feel free to ask in this thread. That way it can be clarified and added to the FAQ.

    Sounds fun! What's the prize pool?

    In contrast to past events, this event is less about how you fared in comparison to everyone else and more about how many points you collected overall. Thus, your reward will be directly based on your final score, including your time score. Note, that all rewards listed here are per player.
    1000-2499 points: 100 BFP
    2500-3749 points: 1 Mini Booster
    3750-4999 points: 1 Mini Booster + 100 BFP
    5000-5999 points: 1 General Booster
    6000-6999 points: 2 General Boosters
    7000-7999 points: 3 General Boosters
    8000-8999 points: 5 General Boosters
    9000-9999 points: 8 General Boosters
          10000+ points: 8 Boosters of your choice + 1 BFP per point beyond 10000
    Additionally, the team with the highest total score will be rewarded a promo Harvester (1 per Player).
    Furthermore, if the combined score (without time score) of all participating teams surpasses 75.000 points, all prizes will be increased by 50%!

    How will the winners be presented?

    This is yet to be determined. We will keep you updated about this.
