How Do I Play?

The first thing you need to do is pick your character class for the coming gameplay posts. This will determine which attacks you may perform during the tournament. 

Each class has it's strengths and weaknesses during the tournament so it will be even no matter which one you choose. You can choose to ]be a: 

  
WARRIOR, a WIZARD, or an ARCHER. 

After choosing a character class, you need to create your  character.  

To create a character just reply below to this enrolment post, you will need a NAME  and an IMAGE OF YOUR CHARACTER. If you can't or don't provide those by  the time the Tournament starts a name and image will randomly be assigned to you.

Simply state " I xxxxx the great! would like to enrol as a ....archer". This kind of thing and drop an image of your player as well. If your unsure just read a few replies below as a guide.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER ENORLMENT

• A campaign map, a detailed instructions post and an item shop post will appear - roughly one a day
• then Stage one will be posted (this is where players start the game) - its self paced, but played best if you do a bit every night along with the Stage post.
• Stages two, three, four and five will be posted (Steem prizes and chances to grab items and level)
• Stage Six - An optional stage post will appear (you may choose to play, normally at some risk)
• The boss round will be posted - then prizes will start appearing in peoples wallets.

WHATS THE GAME PLAY LIKE?

• Every stage will have a foe that needs to be defeated.
• Everyone will begin each stage with 3 fresh lives.  As you take  your  turn to attack the foe you will need to hit the enemy for greater then its hit points.
• If you defeat the enemy on your first attack with a Flawless Victory you will be rewarded with a share of the posts' payout.
• As you defeat the Stage foe your excess life points are banked, the more you save the greater the benefit when you reach the final boss round (where the real prizes are at). 

AIM OF THE GAME

Travel across the campaign map, defeat stage foes one post at a time -  battle your way to the end boss round.

When you reach the final boss round, apply everything you have learned, use all your cunning and bonuses and take home Steem and other prizes... like precious silver bullion thanks to @O07
