Draws for the additional rizes will BE deside by the lower powerscore. If the power scores are equal the faster time will win.

The "Code Smith" is more are riddle than prize you can win. I don't want to spoiler it.

Heads up: Spawning discounted units (via breeding grounds, and probably also for similar effects) appears to not discount the score of the unit (at least on ultralord's website).

That is, spawning a 100-cost unit inside breeding grounds' 25% reduction zone, thus spending 75 power, ends up giving your replay +100*2=+200 points, rather than the discounted +75*2=+150 points.

Not sure if this is an oversight in the way the website counts points, or if it's intended (i.e. score is deliberately based on the card cost rather than actual power spent), but it may be good to clear this up since it's an issue that a lot of people will likely run into when trying to optimize for least power spent 🙂


That issue aside --
Really fun challenge! Thank you for hosting this 😄

I would not call it an issue. I did not want to bully everyone into playing Breeding Grounds.

On the other hand Breeding Ground, Construction Hut and Forest Elder discount after summoning the card.
I don´t know how they are codede but it seems they refund the percentage of power afterwards.

You can send in multiple Replays - But only one can count

Thanks for the participantion and have fun.

Questions:

-Skills like Shami heal doesnt count as ability? All <passive> Skills without a button can be used?

-Repair of Buildings and wall = Ability or may be used?

-wall build - counts as building 25 points?

-building energy wells - monu and rebuild monu doesnt counts as 0 points?

This is a fun challenge. Really curious how to get sub 10 minutes. I got really lucky getting 14:57 so I am competing for the sub 15 minute part of the event!
Good luck to all. 🙂

autosave.pmv This is an sub 10 minutes replay... I think the rules are missing 1 point 😄 and that the website is counting cost of the cards wrong 😛

 Yeah well, indeed. The website is not expecting someone playing Test Striker in an Event 🤷‍♂️

I am assuming that the extra rule should be only released cards? Because as far as I know Teststrike isn't a model you can normally have. 

When you are conducting an event and if someone comes along with stuff like that, this falls under a general "don't be an idiot" rule.

Honestly was just replying to Warchief stating there was a rule missing. As it seems obvious to me that you shouldn't be doing an event on a testserver or something like that 😆
