Event Details

Due to the length and complexity of the event, Oktagon decided to split the existing Battle of Four Tribes event into two events. Battle of Four Tribes: Part 1 first ran on 8 February 2019, and Battle of Four Tribes: Part 2 first ran on 15 February 2019.

With the new event releases Node Objectives were changed, and Coalition and Progression Rewards were modified.

Historical details of the original B4T event can be found at Battle of Four Tribes (historical).

Known Bugs

Known Bugs
Date Run	App Version	Node	Fixed	Bug Description
3/20/18	2.5	x.3		Many “Destroy Support” effects will target the permanent supports.  Tested out with Demolish, in particular.  It also targets those owned by the player.
3/20/18	2.5	2.3		Silverclad Ferocidons never kills the AI’s creatures.  Probably related to the permanent support bug as listed above.
3/20/18	2.5	2.3		The regeneration effect offered by the permanent support wears off before your Dinosaur can regenerate any hit points, so is not useful.
