Hello fellow Skylords,
Check out the new awesome map "Into the Jungle1" !!! The map and scripts have been created by "Emmaerzeh", "Kyriel" and "Perendi". Special thanks to all those who helped in testing and translating.
Description:
It is a 2 player PvE map set in jungle scenery. Various enemies of the nature faction have to be defeated on your way to the ultimate boss: The King of the Forest Elders. He has blessed some of his nature creatures with a magical aura that prevents your ranged attacks. If marked camps are not destroyed within respective time limits, he will summon swarms of flying units to attack you.
Card Restrictions:
To ensure diversity and encourage new strategies, some cards are not allowed on the map:
-Amii Monument
-Enlightenment
-Mark of the Keeper
-Wheel of Gifts
-Nightguard (both affinities)
Using any of these cards in-game results in a default loss.
Competition:
To further promote the map, it will revive and continue the old tradition of community challenges.
-Competition period: 01 November 2019 – 31 December 2019
-Prices will be given out at 02 January 2020

Additional Rules:
-The competition uses the map version "IntoTheJungle1.pak".
-The map has to be played on expert difficulty.
-It is not allowed to share monuments in any way in a 2 player run, this means at the given camps 1 of the monuments is for each player, including tier 1 starting orbs.
-This rule does not apply for 1 player runs in which you are allowed to take available orbs freely.
-For 2 player runs each team is allowed to submit 2 replays, 1 for speedrun, 1 for style run category.
-Everyone may additionally participate with a 1 player speedrun replay.
-Players can only be part of one team for their submission, hence if "Player A" submits a replay with "Player B", he cannot also submit a replay with "Player C".
In order not to limit the speedrun prize pool to possibly only a few traditional players, each player can only receive 1 prize.
-If successfully participating in multiple categories one will only receive the highest prize money earned.
-The priority for which category the prize money will be received if you win multiple prizes of the same value is: 2 player speedrun, 2player style run and 1 player speedrun lastly .
-The prize money for other runs will instead be given to the next best player/team along the ranking, replacing their original reward and shifting all other prizes one rank down.
-The position in the ranking will not be affected by this.
-All winning replays will later be published and attached to this post and a selection of the best will be uploaded to YouTube with explanatory commentary by RadicalX.
Participation Guidelines:
-To participate, you may not violate any of the rules above. This will be verified by me.
-Make your final replay (file format is .pmv) available to me via Discord before 01 January 2020 UTC+1 and indicate whether it is a stylerun or speedrun. My Discord name is Emmaerzeh#0240. You can also find me on the official Skylords Reborn Discord Server.
-You can update your replay submission during the time of the competition any number of times.
-It is not allowed to pressure the event organizer or other participants to publish tips or replays.
Known Bugs:
-The Burrower and Swamp Drakes show wrong names if you click on them (that is a mistake in the editor which cannot be changed).
-Replays of community maps sometimes do not show up in the game Replay viewing selection. This issue has been reported to the developers. A workaround is to open another lobby of a Community Map first and then go to the Replay viewing selection again. Or try close the game, copy the replay to another place, rename it and copy it back to the replay folder. If the replay there shows the gear as an indicator of being broken or outdated, try again later and make sure you have the "IntoTheJungle1.pak" file in your C:\Users\<username>\Documents\BattleForge\map folder. (Auto)saved replays can be found alongside the same path in the folder […]\replays.
-If you find any other bugs, report them to me.
Current Ranking:
These are the best currently submitted speedrun times. Styleruns will be determined at the end of the challenge. To foster competition early on it is more fun if you tell your best time right away and do not wait until the last second. Of course, both ways are allowed.
2 player speedruns:
1. LEBOVIN + Pritstift 15:44 min
2. Douglas + Dersuchti 24:04 min
3.[Names] [Time]
Downloads:
-Attached you will find the map file which you first have to unpack and then save in your C:\Users\<username>\Documents\BattleForge\map folder. Alternatively, the map can be downloaded directly in game. Make sure to have older versions deleted.
-Later I will add the collection of replays that won in this challenge.
I wish you the best of luck and lots of fun exploring the jungle!

Well, the last trivia was pretty fun ^^
Here are some suggestions for ones to come.
1) I implore you to enforce the first rule and repeat it before each trivia in game. (Everyone has only one chance and therefore one answer each: Think carefully!)
2) If there are people who repeatedly submit multiple answers or spam just ignore (disqualify) them for the given trivia.
3) Award winners after the trivia not during one, that way you won't have to remember winners, you'll have them written on the paper and won't mistakenly award the same person multiple times.
4) Write the answer to the question before moving on to the next one, especially for lore questions; which could be a great learning experience and not just one word.
5) Don't rush it! Most fun comes from pressure and anticipation, a little stalling could make it much more fun.
6) Don't just pass the question if no one knows it yet. Since we all have just one chance give us some time... A minute or two at least.
7) I think we should be allowed to use all means available to us in game to get the answer, be it trying cards out in the forge, searching for a card in the market, scrolling through our own cards or taking a peek in the lore book, it just makes it that more fun and since we have a restraint on time this won't be a problem.
8) Announce when you're raising the prize for the given question and give us a second chance! ("No correct answers yet, the prize doubles, everyone has a second chance!")
Oh yeah btw, forgot to tell you, Brannoc was not just a blacksmith, he was indeed a smith!
