Thanks for clarifying! Is the time for the score measured in seconds btw?

There is one 🙂

Maybe we have to find some cool decks, where solo Umbabwe with spell support will take out camps, like a mighty warlock.

Wish granted, but now juice tank also drains the life of all your units at the same time with 100hp/sec
I wish twilight had many more cards so i could play a decent twilight deckWish granted! But now every enemy plays Protector's Seal!
I wish Brannoc and Viridya would get along better.

I haven't played the game on a steam deck yet, but I have played it with a gamecube controller on a (Linux-) PC before. It required some fiddling around and essently I just mapped the analogue stick to emulate a mouse. Maybe something like this is viable on the deck as well?

Speaking about lost dancer: Is it on purpose that her default attack is not homing?
Isn't the same true for Firedancer?

I don't know for sure if any new ones are currently planned, but I would guess, that there will eventually be new ones at some point, especially with new campaign maps coming out soon.
You can also suggest new ones e.g. here:
Or here:

The two biggest benefits I see of having the DP20 value on the cards are:
1. Visual consistency: It makes all unit cards, which can attack look similar.
2. Ease of comparison: If you see the damage per hit and attack speed of one card vs. another and the attack speeds don't match, you would have to so the math in your head to figure out which one is stronger. With DP20, even if it is inaccurate, you can compare those two cards more easily. This is even more true for comparing ranged vs. melee (where the melee DP20 is an average anyways).
I personally prefer to have a lower value for cards like Battleship. If I see something like 2k dp20 and test it 1v1 and the damage is low, it makes intuitively sense. And if I then see, that it has a multishot-like ability, I would test it in AoE/multitarget situations and see, that it is much better there.
If it was the other way around and said something like 7k dp20, but doesn't hit nearly as hard as e.g. Abomination, I would think the card is bugged or I am doing something wrong.
Maybe we could split the descriptions of cards like Battleship/LSS to list their version of Multishot as a passive ability, similar to Windweavers? (Sorry Corsair for yet another ability 😅)

The news about Restoring Lyr and a new PvP map sound really awesome!
I hope I will soon have a bit more time for the project again, so I can play the game a bit more and host some more events. Let's hope IRL things calm down a little bit in the near futer 🙂

That's not an elegant way to turn down free help. Especially, because I could have done it fullstack. And as stated there are clear errors in there. I guess you have your quality measurement and I have mine.
I did not say we don't need your help, I just wanted to inform you that currently noone is working on that.
If you want to improve some texts/translations, feel free to do so and share them in the forums, maybe it could make its way into the game.
Just beware though, that substantial changes to the text that affect the content of passages instead of just style/fixing errors might require translations to FR/RU as well. -

I haven't really touched the editor yet, but these many extra o's seem absurd to me. Is the editor really that bad?
It mostly depends on what standards you apply.
If you just want to make a small side project and use the automated map-decorator for textures/small deco objects and not use too many map scipts, its fine.
But if you want to introduce custom mechanics via scripts, make all the map art yourself and really polish even the finest details and make sure the difficulty is balanced well in all difficulty settings, it really does take a long time. -

I'd like to improve the German translation alongside my own lore, but I am not interested in directly joining the dev team for several reasons.
You can become a translator/proofreader without joining the core dev-team.
As far as I know, there is currently no effort ongoing to rework existing (lore-)texts, unless there are clear errors in there, which could impact gameplay (e.g. wrong card descriptions, but not writing style in the card legends).

Yes I know, but I was talking about the row with the "Upload map" button, I actually never noticed that text before, because I was not trying to upload official maps, but it is there all the time.
For official maps this button should not be clickable and greyed out as in Ult's screenshot.

Just a quick update on the mini-tournament we had so far:
- In March, Ultralord's "FireBot" reached the top of the rankings, but at that point he was still the only contestant.
-
In April, we saw more bots enter with a preliminary version. This time it was a tie for the first place between Ultralord's "FireBot" and Bergerb's "CsRushB".
Stay tuned for the results of May's mini-tournament!

Ooo, that's interesting! How many people have sent their replays so far?
Would have to check on my PC, but over 20 for sure.

I also always love hosting those! The Community maps in BF are really underrated imo. The rework of the UI in the community map section was one of the best changes in the past few years imo 🙂

Anyone doing defense side?
From the replays I got thus far, it seems to be a pretty even split between offense and defense.

Transcendence combos quite well with decks, which use a lot of units in T4, such that you want an aoe damage buff rather than a single target buff like Unholy Hero. Examples for this would be Deathray, Rifle Cultist spam or even Emberstrike decks. Especially for Deathrays this works well, since they require lots of healing when using their ability and Transcendence buffs that too. Deathray+Overlord+Transcendence+Regrowth could form the core of such a strategy.
Tranquility is a more PvP oriented spell. Without it, Amii decks have a hard time fighting large melee units in T2 like Vileblood or Lost Reaver. Tranquility allows you to chain-CC them while also increasing the damage they take. It can also work as a cheap buff+heal to support tactics like burrower split attacks.

This new map is definitely nice - It would be nice to add some voiceovers and put it on world map or something if its possible 😉
The map is only a community map and not supposed to be part of the upcoming new campaign maps. Also, it is currently not possible to add custom voicelines to community maps as far as I know.
But I am glad to hear that you like it 🙂

Hey all,
I have a quick announcement to make:
We will extend the deadline of the event! Instead of ending this month, you will still have time until the end of the year to finish your bot! The new preliminary deadline will be the 5th of January 2025, so you have a bit of breathing room after New Year's day to hand in your bots. This also means, that you still have lot of time to get started, even if you didn't have any time to start yet!
Happy coding!
