Event Details

Battle of Four Tribes: Part 1 is the first part in a two-part series of 3-node Standard coalition PvE events.

Battle of Four Tribes was originally launched in May 2018 as a single 5-node event. In February 2019, the event was split into its current two parts.

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.
