Gameplay Tips (Spoiler!):

Spoiler

Moving the Easter Egg requires a bit of practice, here is a little guidance:

  • Whenever the Eggforcer gets very close to the egg by using his Charge ability, the Easter Egg will be pushed in the opposite direction.
  • His Charge ability is automatically cast on-attack, has a short cooldown and requires a minimum distance toward the target.
    • Select the Eggforcer, move him to a position that is facing the Egg in the desired angle, and issue an attack command by right-clicking on the egg.
    • Make sure no other units are blocking the Eggs path.

Ah, now I see that it's about the fastest time. I (dumbest assumable user) thought it was about a creative solution and had already asked myself who should look at all the replays. 🤔😂

Thanks for this funny event map with all that lovely ideas and details...

e.g. The bunny ears for the oger, the convetti shooting archers on the brigde wall, the egg kicking mechanic ...

I agree 100%. But what I liked most is that the canyon was used in such a cool way to expand the map.

Sounds like this could be the problem:

You can try to look into the BattleForge folder in your documents directory. In there is a subdirectory called "map". Try finding the .pak file of the easter map in there and delete it, then restart the game and try again :)

Since so many asked me, I might as well share the replay ^^ 

It was a fastest run, but by no means my cleanest as I lost way too many Shadow Phoenix and the egg pushing could be a bit smoother. 

A small explanation on how I did it:
 

Spoiler

 


I made 3 Nomads and took out the tower and first group of units. When I got control of the Eggforcer, I let him heal at the wells. After that I placed 3 Mines and pulled the enemies into it. I made sure to avoid the explosions from the dead Twilight Slavers. When they are all killed, I start to kill the spawner. While doing so, I placed a Mine below the 2 defensive towers. This Mine kills the first wave that attacks the monument. After the spawner is destroyed by the Nomads, I ran down and placed a Mine between the Stonekin and Twilight enemies. I had to run real close to the Stonekin unit to get their attention. Not all Stonekin have to die. Afterwards, I ran a bit down and placed 2 Mines for the next camp and pulled them into it. I focused the Twilight Dancer, followed by the spawner and lastly the tower. With the paralyzed unit, I already took the Power Well when I have enough power. At tier 2, I placed 2 Embalmer Shrines for the Shadow Phoenix later. I spanwed 4 Shadow Phoenix when I had enough power and made sure to mine the next wave when they arrived. With those 4 Shadow Phoenix, I crash-dove into the Stonekin Warrior to the left. With Embalmer Shrine active, I got all 4 back unbound. During the same Embalmer Shrine activation, I crashed all 4 into the upper Stonekin camp, killing everything but the Stonekin Crystalfiend. All 4 came back and I flew them to my tier 2 location. There I spawned another 2 Shadow Phoenix. With 6 (4 unbound) I flew to the Fire Emitter camp. Here I crashed 5 Shadow Phoenix into the Healing building and 1 into the Fire Emitter, Destroying both buildings and killing enough units in the process for all 6 Shadow Phoenix to revive. I flew them back to safety and spawned 4 more (10 total). I used them to crash into the big wave. Unfortunately, it was too close to the Abomination camp. Normally, it is possible to fly below the camp and crash into the Abomination, and with little luck, kill/destroy most of the camp. I build my tier 3 and started pushing the egg at minute 7.47. I used my remaining Shadow Phoenix to crash into the Willzaper camp. Baiting its activation with 1, and crashing into it with the other 4. While this is happening, I spawned 3 Ashbone Pyro's to kill everything that remains till the Easter Tree. To get their, I used Nether Warp to dodge the Twilight Bombard attack, Frenetic Assault to kill the 2 Thornbarks and another Frenetic Assault to kill the 3 Spikeroots. All is happening while the Egg is pushed by the Eggforcer closer and closer to the Easter Tree. Arriving there in time to get a run of 10.25 minutes. 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy 🙂
