Patch, DX11.
http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,695776/Battleforge-DirectX-11-patch-is-deployed/News/
(EDIT: Demigod was also patched shortly ago.)

EDIT: Heh, didn't expect the game to actually use part of DX11 though.

This is one of the games that's currently £5 on direct2drive (EU and UK only, I think). My 10 year old likes the game, and £5 is a cheap rate for 3000 battleforge points.

A couple people messaged me about this. The price is back to normal now, so bad luck if you missed it.

That is strange the game is free to play and they are still selling it?

Anyways I got a copy of it for free when it was still retail when i bought my videocard. The game isn't that great in my opinion. The single player missions are dull and multiplayer certainly isn't near any RTS best. I never even bothered to use my 3000 battleforge points.

We are a team working on bringing back a game we missed the past years. BattleForge was a game we got to enjoy for many years and we want to realise it for everyone to enjoy it for many years to come. We are building a server able to run and revive BattleForge for those who missed it so much, as well as bringing its community back together.

@Aeon
I played it too when it came out back then.

The reason i stopped was because you had to invest real money for those card packs with random content.

Innovative game, but it had a terrible business model and it killed the game.

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/291409/Report_Fans_set_to_revive_BattleForge_with_EAs_blessing.php
Quote:
The fan community for the discontinued game BattleForge has reportedly received the green light from EA to release an unofficial, fan revival of the free-to-play RTS. According to a post from the community manager of the fan initiative behind the revival effort, EA will allow them to restore BattleForge to its original glory, with a few caveats.

It's worth noting that there has yet to be any confirmation of this on EA's side of things, but, if everything checks out the story of BattleForge’s fan revival could have a happier ending than the cease and desist-filled stories other fan-projects tend to tell.

The revival effort, known as Skylords Reborn, has been working to restore the game unofficially for a few years now but going forward the development team will be working with Ardent Peak to bring the free-to-play title back as a fully operational game, sans any ‘pay to play’ mechanics.

[/b[b]]As part of the agreement, the team is able to set up a new server for BattleForge, called Skylords Reborn, and restore the game to its former glory, as it was when shut down by EA in 2013.


The fans rebooting the game will not be able to release any paid DLC or paid updates for the game, but will however be able to “commercialize the game to the extent that [they] are allowed to gain money for the project.” The team is able to create additional content for the game as well, but cannot create full new versions or new game editions without violating their agreement.

Additionally, they’re required to strip any EA branding from the project, but have otherwise “been given permission to alter the BattleForge client to [their] desires.”

The full list of stipulations the Skylords Reborn team has to adhere to can be found on the team’s website https://forum.skylords.eu/index.php?/topic/2828-skylords-reborn-granted-permission-by-ea/ , along with a rough development calendar of the progress they’ve made reverse engineering BattleForge so far. https://dev.bfreborn.com/

Awesome, I love BattleForge. I was furious when EA shut down its servers. Looking forward to the revival!

I don't understand this.
It's a f2p reboot, and they are not allowed to release paid DLCs. But are still allowed to "commercialize" on the game? How else if no DLCs? Via ads?
