Battle Arena

Battle Arena is a brand new Majesty experience that differs from the normal type of quest. This game mode pits 7 kingdoms against each other in an effort to destroy all opponents, but with a complete focus on combat and buffing your heroes. Please read the rules of the game mode below in the "How to Play" section for more details!

Version - 2.0 (6/19/2021)

Starting Out
Each player starts with a level 1 palace that will spawn two peasants who will build and repair as normal. No tax collectors will spawn, and the palace cannot be upgraded. Each player will also have visibility into the middle of the map, along with the location of each enemy palace. No economic buildings, auto generated buildings, nor enemy team monsters will naturally show up in this quest.

Buildings
All normal buildings have been disabled and in their place are customized buildings that perform various functions. Buildings will still be built and destroyed as normal.

• Hero Spawner - Each Hero Spawner that is built will spawn 1 hero of the specified type at each spawn cycle (if a hero survives to the next spawn cycle, a new hero is not generated). The cost will vary based on which type of hero you choose. No limit on number of Hero Spawners placed.
  
• Leveler - Each leveler that is built will increase the starting level of your heroes by 1 at each spawn cycle. So if you have 2 Levelers, your heroes will spawn in at level 3. 4 levelers will start your heroes at level 5, etc. No limit on number of Levelers placed.
  
• Hero Boosters - These buildings give all of your newly spawned in heroes stat buffs or new spells, depending on which building is chosen (description of what each one provides is in the booster name). For example, if you build the "Max HP" boost, then each new hero that spawns in every spawn cycle gets a buff to their maximum hp. There currently are 28 unique boosters that are buildable. Limit of 1 building per unique type at a time.
  
• Destructors - These buildings will spawn in enemy monsters near each enemy kingdom that will attack that player's heroes and buildings. Destructors activate every 5 days.

Hero Spawning
Heroes spawn in once per day, based on the Hero Spawners each player has that are completed. For example, if you have 1 Adept Spawner and 2 Gnome Spawners completed, you will get 1 Adept and 2 Gnomes to spawn in at your spawnpoint(s) for each spawn cycle. Spawners will only spawn in a new hero each cycle if there is an open slot. For example, if you have 2 Cultist Spawners and 2 Cultists that already exist, new Cultists will not spawn in during the spawn cycle. Heroes will get the benefit of any levelers and hero boosters you have completed at the time they spawn in. Keep in mind that these boosts only apply to NEWLY spawned in heroes, any heroes that already exist prior to completing the booster/leveler building will not receive the buff(s). Heroes also have a much more limited decision tree and will focus on attacking other heroes and buildings.

Gold
Each player starts with 10,000 gold to spend on buildings as they see fit. Additional gold is acquired when heroes perform a killing strike or killing spell cast on an enemy hero. When this happens, the player that owns the hero that secured the kill will gain 100 gold. This is the way that each player gains gold in order to spend on more buildings.

AI Strategy
The AI will typically try to start off with a few hero spawners branching out. They will choose what to build mostly at random, especially late game. The AI will place reward flags on enemy buildings at random. The AI abides by the same gold and building restrictions as the human player, it does not cheat.

Victory
Victory is fairly simple - destroy all enemy palaces to win!

• I still consider this a work-in-progress, especially when it comes to building costs and such. So expect future changes, and I definitely will value player feedback on what is overpowered, too costly, too cheap, etc.
