    I think this is ending soon?

     

    Also, I think you should NOT use "05.02.2022" formatting (I almost ignored this thinking that this doesn't end until MAY 2nd and that would be wrong).  Also if you can add (GMT+/-???) on time (I know I some times wait until very last time). So something that looks like this: 23:59 (GMT+1???) Feb. 5, 2022 

    While timezone information could be useful, day-month-year formatting is a standard in Europe. As far as I remember approximately ~60% community is German, and vast majority of players come from Europe, so it does makes sense to use to use the most widely frequent formatting.

    I guess Kapo will generally accept submissions until 23:59 CET (which is most used timezone), perhaps he will update the information today.

    Good point, though. It's always safer to name the month than give it as number.

  2. Welcome Skylords and Cute Beings.

     

    Kingdom of Lyr receives a lot of attention recently, some even could say too much attention. It’s residents would enjoy peace, that is for sure. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

    After Blight’s death, remaining Ravenships scattered across the globe, gaining influence among other Bandit clans. Some of them found Lyr vulnerable and decided to attack, before Kingdom grows in strength. Aeglos Fortress is already partly-captured, we must hurry.

    New Community Map!

    Aeglos Fortress is a new single-player Community Map.

    minimap.jpg.fc2cd1022ca123096747540b94b175f9.jpg

    As you can see on the minimap, the map has linear progress and takes place in a mountainous terrain.
    As a player you start in bottom left corner and progress though the map until you reach enemy fortress on north west. On the right there is allied Frost Fortress which must be defended throughout the game. It is attacked by steadily stronger opponents.


    The map should be now available in community maps tab:
    obraz.png.631bac4b4050585b207b70f46bab201a.png

    The map is named differently in German and French versions of the game. Look out for “Festung Aeglos” and “Forteresse d’Aeglos” respectively. 

    The map exhibits following features:

    • Fresh campaign experience
    • Audio narrative in all 4 official languanges
    • Objectives in all 4 official languanges
    • Frost themed fortress in northern part of the map
    • Side objectives which enhance experience, but are not necessary to complete the map
    • One easter-egg

    Event on the map

    If you complete the map on Advanced difficulty before 21st February 2022, you may participate in the event. See more details there:

     

    A few insights about the map:

    • The map was supposed to be "Siege of Hope but cooler,", but turned out as "buggy rPvE with benefits".
    • The map was in development for 55 days.
    • There were made over 260 edits/versions of the map.
    • The map uses 2406 lines of code.

     

    Thanks

    To: Mynoduesp, RookieN, Emmaerzeh, LEBOVIN, Kubik, AstralShadow and Menchrese for help with map making and scripting.

    How to access the map

    Rewards

    In the unlikely case of a tie, the run that was submitted earlier gets the higher placement in the ranks.

  4. Dear Blitzmauler,

    Apparently there is some bug preventing uploading of pictures in .jpg and perhaps in similar formats as well.

    However, uploading a .png file works in acceptable mannier, so we would suggest to either convert file from .jpg to .png by using software on your computer (open in paint, save as: .png), or by using online converter.
    Thank you very much for pointing us toward the problem.

    Best regards,

    Dallarian

    Kérjük, használd az angol nyelvet ezen a fórumon. Ha nem beszélsz angolul, használhatsz valamilyen online fordító eszközt, mint például a deepl.com .

    Best regards,

  6. "Adorable Battleships need to eat a lot of snowflakes to survive and feed it's little babies, so they can grow up to become majestic whales.
    And here we can see a school of Battleships in their natural habitat, imitating the shape of a much bigger ship to intimidate potential predators.

    680957846_battleshiphabitat.thumb.png.b74645b2bf93111b1b34c9053cd3d68d.png

    Inciddentally, they also do this to reduce the air drag factor. Tired Battleships will fall back from the front to the rear of the formation, allowing fully rested Battles to take the lead and provide the drag reduction.

    If we look closely, we can see a few families of Icefang Raptors hiding underaneath the Battleships. Raptors and Battleships have a mutualistic relationship. The Battleships protect the Raptors, and in exchange the Raptors secure Monuments that contain Frost Orbs needed to grow snowflakes clouds and feed Battleship population.

    Nature is so beautiful.

    And I absolutely love the new Forge. Below zero job! :frostorb::frostorb::frostorb::frostorb:

    Could a cash shop for BFP not be made

    It's already "not made". There is no cash shop.

    While there most likely wouldn't be need for another permission, the whole project is designed as F2P but not P2W, and there are planned further adjustments/ extra achievements for new players.

    In current state of the game there isn't even a point to spend money in-game, because of how much you get for playing for just a while a day.
    If you want to support project, you do it on patreon. If you want more cards, just play a bit longer, it is really easy to get them.

    So not only there is no point in launching premium shop, it also is against the spirit of the project (which do not support pay to win).

    Alternatively:  Here's a ton of sounds i have found and converted to mp3 so far in one zip file: BattleForgeSounds.zip . [Containing all the units voices/sounds them talking].

    Thank you very much for all your work - Skylord from the future.
    The data has only Twilight and Renegade edition units, however, it is enough for me.
    Thank you very much.

    Also it's missing dialoges from campaign maps like Ocean, Oracle, Raven's End and Empire, but still has more than enough lines to keep me happy.

    The prices for those things have now doubled or tripled or are simply not available. 

    Price of Enlightenment halved. Infect is on 2/3 of it's price. Many expensive ultrarare XLs decreased from 1000-2000 to under 800. While common and uncommon cards are less accessible now, you can still get them easily from boosters, and many cards hidden behind inflation now become more and more accessible. I think reforge system is doing good in going for "dream" deck.

  10. I am against the idea.

    While considering something in that regard is an option, I believe it is too early to suggest any changes.

    The topic could use investigation and finding the actual cause, however, even if I play less than you, I don't think I ever heard about anything similar. I use Shatter Ice in almost every single my deck, so I do not think "frequently" is a good word in this case.
    It would certainly be helpful if more Skylords shared their experience on that, because currently I do not think it is a problem, as there is lack of information about scale of the phenomena.
