It can still be relevant, if other units have an ability where they deal extra damage against Demons.

Shadow Phoenix's damage cannot be buffed by spells or abilities, since the unit is already dead, when the explosion happens. Same is true for Unholy Hero/Unholy Power etc.

There used to be a Tome gamemode back in EA days and sometimes people host Tome PvP tournament, where you get assigned a pool of 8 Boosters and build a deck from that. Look out for those, as there might be more of them in the future.

Are you playing in 4k? The problem with recaling the UI is, that currently everything is hardcoded. Every single spacing, text box etc. has a hardcoded pixelvalue for different resolutions. So adding new resolutions would require us to manually rewrite every single of those values. So unless we figure out a way to make it scale automatically (which I am not sure if it is somehow possible), this is very unlikely to happen.

As already mentioned on Discord, this is one of the maps from the first ever map making contest back in EA days, so it is rather unlikely, that you will be able to contact the original creator. You can however modify the map yourself and try to polish it a bit. Wanky did a similar thing with the map Dwarven Fortress 🙂

Just as Kubik said, we will provide some very basic examples, such as an AI that just spawns a single unit and gives an attack command, so participants know where to start.

That would not be a good idea imo. Not only for the points you made, but also since you have to spawn 6x as many units to get an army together and micro them all at once, which would be a nightmare.

Have you tried using a different OS (i.e. Linux) on one of them (e.g. via dualboot) to see if it changes anything?

The Skylords Reborn PvP AI programming contest - Phase 1 Hello fellow Skyladies, Skylords and other Sky-beings! We're thrilled to introduce a one-of-a-kind event that combines the thrill of PvP gameplay with the ingenuity of programming. Get ready for the AI Programming Tournament, where your submitted programs will face off in an epic showdown to find the ultimate AI strategist! Format The event will consist of three separate phases, with phase 1 starting now! In phase 1, we ask all of you, who are interested in participating in this event, to fill out a questionnaire about your previous programming experience and programming language of choice. After the questionnaire closes, we will use this information to prepare an API (Application programming interface) and document it according to your programming skills, such that everyone who is interested will be able to compete! Once the API is ready to be presented to you, phase 2 starts, in which you will have enough time to write and test your programs. Once phase 2 ends, phase 3 will be a tournament, in which all entries we received battle if out to find the best of them all! More information about the technicalities will be presented when phase 2 starts. Event Details Deadline for phase 1: 31.12.2023 Start of phase 2: Not yet determined Link to the questionnaire: *CLICK* Link to the event Discord: *CLICK* Why participate? Participating in this tournament offers a unique opportunity to not only showcase your programming skills but also demonstrate strategic thinking in a dynamic gaming environment. Beyond the thrill of competition, there are fantastic prizes at stake. The specific prizes will be disclosed at the start of phase 2. In our effort to make PvP more approachable for newer players, we would love to add the option to play and practice against AI opponents. We are currently exploring our options, and your entry could serve as the foundation for this! Whether you're a seasoned programmer or just starting out, this tournament welcomes all skill levels. We will provide enough documentation, such that everyone can participate with at least a basic program. Please note... We are aware, that this is not a gameplay event and that only a minority of the community will likely be interested in competing. For those of you, who are looking for more gameplay-oriented events, don't worry, we will still have those in the future! For those of you, who will participate, please be patient during phase 1. We want to make sure, that everything works and all technicalities are figured out by that time, so expect a delay between the end of phase 1 and the start of phase 2. Do not expect phase 2 to start at the beginning of next year, please allow us enough time to prepare everything, which might take some time! Special Thanks Big thanks to @Kubik for providing all the technical stuff necessary to make this happen! Questions Reply in this thread if you have questions, we will answer them as soon as possible. Best regards, The Skylords Reborn Team

Sleet Storm is there, Tectonic Shift isn't in the game yet 😄

You could write them an ingame mail. They will be able to see that when they come online, too. This method cannot automatically complete the trade however, since you still have to both be online at some point to do the actual trading. One thing, that might help, is a "Cash on Delivery" option (CoD) for the ingame mail system. This way you could, for example, send someone a Spitfire and choose the CoD option and set a prize of 750 BfP, and when they see the mail, they have the option to either accept the offer, receiving the card and automatically sending back 750 BfP or to decline it, automatically sending back the card.

The effects team has really outdone itself with the Tectonic Shift effect! 💯

Random: The rewards will be split among all players randomly. Assign: The group leader will decide who gets what and what will be disenchanted (i.e. turned into Gold). Need and/or greed: Very complicated. For an explanation, see the wiki: https://skylords-reborn.fandom.com/wiki/Player_vs_Environment_(PvE)#PvE_Rewards_&_Difficulty_Levels
