Spicing it up with modifiers

As we all know ProfessorBAR is the number one enjoyer of spice. Not hard to deduce he has made sure to spice things up beyond all reason with this competition. The each round he will spin two infamous Wheels of Doom picking if and how the landscape of the battlefield will change and what crazy gameplay tweaks shall be applied. Below we list them with some instructions on how to set them up in your lobby for practice.

Map modifiers

For practice, you can apply these modifiers in the Adv. options tab in the battleroom interface. The numbers next to the modifiers indicate how many times they appear on the wheel of doom, hence how often they will be picked statistically.

No Water x 2
All water removed

More Water x 2
‍Map dependent, see the list

Water Is Lava x 1
All water is now lava

Hooked x 1
‍Map will be Hooked

Speed Metal x 1
‍Map gets overwritten by Speed Metal

No Modifiers x 2
Nothing gets changed

Inverted x 3
Heightmap gets inverted

Once a modifier is picked it gets removed from the wheel, amounts might get changed. If/when the wheel is empty we restart a full wheel.

‍

Gameplay modifiers

Some of these modifiers are applied through battle settings in the Adv. options menu of your battleroom.  In this case you will have to manually apply  They are strings that tell the game to mutate in a certain way.
