I'am playing this game for a week now and my experience is far different from the game I played 10 years ago.
For me the main progression system and excitement in this game was hunting for the Card Upgrades. I loved playing with 3 of my friends specific maps to get specific card upgrades. The joy was in doing something (sometimes hard, sometime time consuming) and getting a reward for it. You had to play all maps multiple times and had the excitement for the loot after every game.
Now I am playing this game 1 hour a day FOR A WEEK, doing ONLY Bad Harvest and have my cards upraded on lvl 1 just by paying GOLD!
In my optinion this takes all the fun I had in this game away. You should get enough gold to be able to upgrate your cards, when you got the upgrading card you were farming for (and that should take some time, not a week!), but not to BUY the upgrading card.
For me it feels like there is nothing to work towards in this game. Farming gold and doing the most efficient map is not doing it for me, neither for my friends who played with me 10 years ago.
Hello fellow skylords and skyladies,
Im made a short video about dwarven riddle. This map is really easy to play and a good way to farm some gold for the card upgrades.
Here is the deck i recommend:
Made some self challenge to clear the 2nd base with pure decks from every starting position (!)
A lil trick which can help -> Sometimes we delay picking up the 2nd orb to have more time until the mini wave reaches our base
Pure Fire:
Bottom right is the easiest to clear with fire thanks to skyfire drakes, same as with Shadow Phoenix/ Mana wing so this replay is not added
Pure Frost:
Same as above, just with war eagles, so not added
Pure Nature:
Bottom left is already covered how to clear many times on this forum by Krumpli or the Speedrun Youtube so it is not added
Pure shadow:
Since Forsaken + Shadow Phoenixes is the most common strategy it is very much works the same so I do not made replicate replays
Please note these replays can be improved, mostly played with randoms so the outcome was never guaranteed
The purpose of these replays is to show the possibility of many ways to clear the 2nd bases (hardest part) , whatever deck you like to play
Hope it helps

added 1 Player Level 9 & 10 for this month.
Level 9 is pretty straightforward - ~10:30 possible
Level 10 is one of those annoying maps again where you have a close base early on, this time at t1. I tried a bunch of different approaches to defend t1 and then how to kill the close camp most efficiently and ended up with the approach with a Sunderer and Nomads. You can obviously brute force the camp with something like Nox spam as well. ~17:15 should be possible on this map.
I decided to continue my thread from the original Battleforge forums, where i shared all my solo rPvE replays with the community - thanks to @Kybaka for picking this up again last month.
You can expect regular updates at the beginning of each month for the month that just passed. I will upload most replays throughout the month whenever I get a halfway decent time on these maps. Exception being maps where an alltime speedrun record is possible - those will be uploaded at the end of the month. Cleanliness of play in the replays can greatly differ due to time investment. You can at least expect a top 3 finish for the respective month for each of these replays though.
If i play Motm level 9 maps solo, they will be updated throughout the month as I am doing those just for the sake of it.
If you have questions in regards to gameplay or strategy feel free to post here or contact me on @Ultrakool's Battleforge Tutoring server: https://discord.gg/2R7yZTS
Please note that older replays will not work due to the game being patched now. If all cards in the replay are unchanged you can fix it with the Replay Fixer Tool that can be found on the forums. If cards are changed, replays are at least as of right now not watcheable anymore - not sure if a backward compability will ever be introduced.
If you want to cast any of these videos, feel free to do so.

Would it be possible to increase font size (especially in card descriptions) and maybe their resolution as they don't look very sharp?
I'm playing on 27" 2560x1080 ultrawide monitor
