Great greetings, People of the Sky

Let's start the Event year of 2026 with a kind of event were everyone can win.

The Challenge:

• Play and win the Community map "The Soultree Bounty"
  The map "The Soultree Bounty" is identical to the normal Soultree map, but ends as soon as you kill the last unit of the first big wave.
  Right when Viridya travels to the Soultree.
• Play on expert difficulty
   
• You are only allowed to play up to 2 different cards.
  You can summon / cast / build these two cards as often as you like.
  The amount does not effects any ranking.
• You may only use cards from Tier 1 and Tier 2.

The Ranking:

Mini Ranking:
   If you upload at least one valid run you receive one Mini Booster.

General Ranking:
   If you upload five or more runs with different decks the mini booster will be upgraded to a General Booster.

Unique Deck Ranking:
   Each card in your deck receives points equal to the amount of uploaded runs with that card in it.
   For example your deck contains Pyromaniac which was used 100 times, and Sunstriders with 20 uses. Your points would be 120.
   The lower your points the higher your rank. (Tie breaker fastest run -> then upload date)
   There are separate rankings for one and two card runs.
   There is one Point-Pool. That mens the 100 uses of Pyromaniac also apply to a One-Card-Run!

FAQ:

Spoiler

When will I receive my rewards?
- Prizes will be send out in the days following the winner stream.

How do Promo Cards work?
- To keep it fair, all Promo are converted to the "normal" card for this event.
- Easter egg counts a no card at all. (You still can only play 2 cards inkl. Easter egg on the map)
- Edit 10.02.2025: If you play with a Promo card and and the same none pomo card, the website will show it as a One Card Run
                             But for the final Ranking it will be a 2 counted as a 2 Card run!

What about affinities?
- Affinities count as different cards.

How does the points work?
1. Count the card uses of all cards.
2. Apply the Card-Use-Count to each run.
3. Split the Runs in One and Two Card runs, and rank them by total Points.
4. Check of tie breakers

 

LETZ GOOO new event
THX for all who asked questions so far. I added all the answers to the forum post.

Hi the example is throwing me off. (I have no idea why the example is at 100, which sounds like 100 replays)

This is what I think I understand:

For one replay:
Using 1 card 100 times == 1 point == using 1 card 1 time.

Does this make sense or should I try to use a card fewer times inside the game?

 

Edit:

Having looked at the uploader website this now makes sense, the goal to getting fewer points is to find a unique deck that can be used.

If i kill big wave unit will map end? And if replay counts then?

THX for all who asked questions so far. I added all the answers to the forum post.

A few questions:

1. Are the number of uses judged per player or per "win?" If all 100 uses of pyromaniac are mine, but nobody else uses it, does it count for a score of 100 or 1? Can I submit 100 replays with cards to "dilute" their number for everyone else?

2. Are affinities counted as different cards?

3. How are the 1 and 2 card contests judged separately? If I have a "medium" ranking in 1 card, but then I add something unnecessary like blaster cannon, would I get a much higher ranking in the 2 card category?

> Easter egg counts a no card at all 

4. Does this mean I can play 3 cards, or easter egg counts in the 1- or 2-card categories but always has a score of zero?

Correct

Correct

 

We need a big reward for someone who plays with only easter egg and he/she can kill the big wave with just the lyrish defenders.

1. The Points are based on ALL REPLAYS. That means if you upload 100 Pyro Replay you increase the points of all your runs.

2. Yes affinities count as different cards. (Nomade Red works totally different as nature and there for should not be treaded as one)

3. In theory YES. A One-Card Pyro run could be 100 Points ending up at rank 100 of 100 (ONE-Card ranking)
    And a Pyro (100 Points ) + Blaster Canone (10 Points) could be rank 70 of 150 (TWO-card ranking)

4. The map script allows you to play 2 Cards. You can choose to play the Egg as one of them, but the website will filter that out and you end up with a One-Card-Run

I did not plan for any one to finish the map with "no card" but yes -> a Easter egg run would also count as a no-card-run xD
And if some one would manage that be sure i will find something in my collection to reward that payer 🫡

Dont try this at home

Is there any way for me to watch the .pmv 's from others, for learning purposes? 🙂

Yes, put them in Documents=>BattleForge=>replays and they should appear in the replays screen ingame.

So why placemnts if u just can take replays from other players, replay shows u movemnt of unit and even point click place if u just do same moves u can just do same time espacially when u can max use 2 cards, which also means that expenive cards can be play 1, 2 maybe 3 times in whole game due to power limit  gain - so less mistakes possible. So u just play like robot mimic actions get same results less virables power limit shown all actions...

The whole idea of the event is exactly this. Collecting starting strategy's so everyone can learn and get inspired from each other.
There for ALL replays will be shared at the end of the event. Till then, you only have the played cards on the website.

I've placed "Event_Soultreebounty_BanditSniper_0639.pmv" in the location "C:\Users\Kasper\Documents\BattleForge\replays" , restarted my game, click on the Replays button at the login screen but im unable to find any other recordings other then mine? Sorted for Date, Player..

Orrrrrrr wait, do I myself first need to play the map once in order for the game to understand what the map is and thus be able to play replays of it?

It is often as as easy as that. There are also explanation videos of some speedruns and difficult seasonal challenges on Youtube, but even with them as a guide, performing the same thing yourself is not always that easy, for example because the execution is really tight and small mistakes add up to large differences in the long run.

To be honest, I don't know, but it could be the case. It's been a long time since I unlocked all maps.
Beating the map on standard is comparatively easy though, so best bet is to try and beat it on standard first and see if it works then.

To watch the replay you need to do 2 thing.
1. Download the map -> This will be done automatically. You just need to open a Lobby in the community map section.
2. You need to be logged in -> some Community map replays do not work from the login screen. Use the Book icon at the top of the screen and then replays.

 

hi i post my reply there but it not showing anything...
