Kings of Canaan CampaignSolo territory battles in the Promised Land
  • Campaign battles launch from the Promised Land map and count toward territory progress.
  • Each territory has a King, campaign stage, Bible era or region, and Rank Points milestone.
  • Winning secures the challenged territory and can update ranked progression.
  • Losing can make land contested, enemy held, or lost depending on the territory state.
  • If Rank Points fall below a secured territory requirement, that territory enters a defense window.
  • Solomon remains the final Golden Kingdom reward, not an AI opponent.

Skirmish And Custom RoomsPractice, friends, bots, and invite links
  • Skirmish is unranked and does not change Rank Points, Battle Spoils, or Battle Record standings.
  • A guest soldier name can be saved on the device for casual play.
  • Custom Rooms create private battles for friends, bots, or invite links.
  • Invite links can bring players into the same custom room after identity setup.
  • After a completed custom battle, the host can offer a Rematch by opening a fresh room with the same size and reserved seats for returning soldiers.
  • A true rematch depends on the original human soldiers returning to their seats; missing real soldiers are not treated as having accepted the rematch.
  • Skirmish is the best place to practice before entering Ranked Arena.

Joining A Battle With A CodeInvite links and room codes
  • A battle code works only while the host room is still waiting for players.
  • The host room must have an open friend or bot seat for the joining soldier to claim.
  • If the room is full, already started, or expired, the code can no longer be used.
  • A soldier must Login, Sign Up, or save a Soldier Display Name before the invite can join the battle.
  • After a successful join, the device can recover the same seat during the recovery window.

Board, Clues, And WagersHow each battle plays
  • Standard multiplayer boards use 5 categories with 5 clues each.
  • Each battle includes 2 Double Dares.
  • 2-soldier ranked battles use 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 point clues.
  • 3-soldier ranked battles use 150, 300, 450, 600, and 750 point clues.
  • 4-soldier ranked battles use 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 point clues.
  • Double Dare scoring uses the locked wager instead of the printed clue value.
  • Final Showdown adds your wager for a correct answer and subtracts it for a wrong answer.

Rank, Spoils, And Battle RecordsHow progress is recorded
  • Rank Points determine your soldier rank.
  • Battle Spoils increase only when a ranked soldier wins or ties for first with a positive final score.
  • Battle Records track overall results, Arena results, Kings of Canaan results, standings, and recent battles.
  • Hall of Records shows public leaderboards and top record boards.
  • The personal Battle Record page shows rank progress, Top 33 standings, recent battles, and full battle history.

Recovery, Retreats, And PenaltiesWhat happens when a battle is left
  • Leaving a ranked match starts a recovery window so the soldier can return before losing the seat.
  • If an explicit ranked leave expires, the soldier receives a -25 Rank Points abandon penalty and no winnings.
  • Forfeit Now applies the abandon result immediately.
  • A rating-matched King of Canaan bot may replace an abandoned ranked seat so the battle can continue fairly.
  • Connection-only timeouts may be recoverable and do not automatically trigger abandon replacement.
  • In campaign battles, extended idle control warns the soldier first and then can count as a retreat.

Beta Notes And Feedback

Ranked rating, soldier ranks, spoils, and Battle Record details may be tuned during beta.

Skirmish and Custom Rooms are best for relaxed testing because they do not change ranked progression.

For now, send bugs, confusing moments, and screenshots through the same beta invite contact or thread you received. An in-app feedback form can be added later if you want comments stored for review.
