Rating and Movement Definitions

Movedef files in BAR control how units traverse terrain, including speed modifiers for different ground types. Changes to movedef can significantly impact unit balance, especially for fast units crossing varied ground during raptor survival waves.

Rating calculations factor in these unit movement characteristics when evaluating performance. Units with better terrain navigation create more economic pressure and contribute more effectively to team outcomes.

Raptor Mode Balance

Raptor survival waves depend on predictable unit behavior. Movedef tweaks that alter how raptor waves approach defenses can drastically change strategy requirements. Community discussions track which movedef adjustments create fair versus unfair pressure patterns.

Keep Improving

Understanding unit movement patterns helps in both offense and survival defense. Creed of Champions encourages that deeper game knowledge. Better teammates. Better games. Win with skill, teamwork, and respect.
