How to submit your game for mentor review, why crawling bombs sometimes fail to attack, and what causes lobby crashes after big events.
Beyond All Reason has a mentor system that reviews player replays and provides feedback. Replays from public matches are automatically uploaded to the BAR website replay database, so you usually do not need to manually record anything.
To request a review, head to the academy area and create a thread. Include the replay link from the BAR website site and your in-game name if it differs from your forum handle. The system works like a ticket queue — mentors pick up reviews when they have time, so patience helps. A review from someone who knows what they are looking at can spot issues you would never notice on your own.
Players new to the Skuttle or similar crawling bomb units sometimes find that right-clicking on targets does nothing. This is not a bug — crawling bombs have an unusual attack model. If you need one to self-destruct on a target, Ctrl plus B triggers the self-destruct command, which is how you manually detonate it.
Right-clicking sometimes fails to register as an attack command on these units depending on how the targeting state is configured. If the unit appears unresponsive, try the self-destruct hotkey or check whether auto-attack is enabled in your unit settings.
Mass events — massive team games with dozens of players — frequently cause lobby instability when everyone piles back in simultaneously. The underlying cause is usually a flood of connection requests and state updates hitting the server at once. The only real fix is patience: wait a minute or two after the game ends before trying to rejoin the lobby, and restart the client if it starts freezing up.
Some players also report that having large numbers of air constructors and issuing mass build commands can strain lobby performance. Spread heavy build orders across time rather than dumping them all at once.
Having experienced players review your replays and give straight feedback is one of the fastest ways to break through a plateau. The mentor system exists for exactly that, and using it regularly shortens the learning curve significantly. Surrounding yourself with players who give constructive notes instead of blame makes the whole process smoother. That is the standard we aim for at Creed of Champions — serious play, supportive environment, steady improvement.
