• What is BiM?
  
  Battle in Magicforest is a [Hero Defense] / [Hero Arena] map. Each of the two teams has to defend their Stone of Resurrection from incoming forest creatures.
  
  After every 150 seconds an event starts for both teams. Events consist mostly of competing challenges where the goal is to be faster/better than the enemy team. The winning team gains some extra gold, the losing team receives nothing.
  
  There are two different game modes available:
  • Gamemode 1: Manual Creep Spawn
    Send units to the enemies to increase your income.
    Every unit costs food but increases your income. Your food resets after 15 seconds when your food is maxed (ex. 3/3).
    
    
  • Gamemode 2: Automated Creep Spawn (Recommended)
    Units spawn automatically on your side. Each kill increases the team income by 3.
  
  Currently there are 12 playable custom heroes. Each hero has a custom skillset with unique abilities. Some abilities can be combined together to achieve a stronger effect.
