Automatic map rotation lists

BAR runs multiple automatic map rotations for different team sizes and skill brackets. The available rotation types include: certified maps, apprentice two-player, competitive two-player, fight night, land sixteen-player, popular variants for two-player, eight-player, and sixteen-player, tourney two-player and six-player, rotato apprentice, strict tournament maps, and all-that-rotates.

Each rotation serves a different purpose. Apprentice maps ease new players into ranked matchmaking. Competitive and tourney lists restrict maps to balanced certified options. Popular rotations cast a wider net across the pool. The sixteen-player lists handle massive battles. Pick the rotation that matches your goals and team size.

Game settings and restrictions

BAR allows various game settings in ranked and unranked queue. The rotation system controls which maps appear, but players can still adjust settings for private matches, custom games, and clan scrimmages. For team sizes beyond the standard two-player queue, the broader map rotations kick in to keep variety high.

Submitting replays for mentor review

Replays upload automatically to the BAR website after most matches. To get mentor feedback, create a thread in the academy channel and name it clearly with team size, map name, your username, and a short description of what you want reviewed. Paste the replay link from the website.

Private matches do not upload automatically. Find the replay file in your local data and demos folder and share it directly. Mentors review replays on a volunteer schedule, so patience helps.

Energy efficiency reference

Mid-game and late-game energy decisions benefit from the community-maintained efficiency spreadsheets. These charts compare fusion versus advanced fusion payback including energy generated during construction, wind versus tide production ratios, and the energy output per metal cost for every producer type.

The numbers shift your build order decisions. A player who checks payback times knows exactly when advanced fusion becomes profitable on a given map versus when wind expansion still wins.

Practical rules

Creed of Champions

Creed of Champions coordinates team games across multiple skill levels and time zones. Members use the right map rotations for practice, submit replays for structured feedback, and share efficiency knowledge freely. The community covers a wide range of abilities and game mode interests, making it useful whether you play one-versus-one or sixteen-player team games.
