Power


Power in BattleForge is the primary source of energy used to play cards on the battlefield. 


Acquiring Power


Power is acquired through Power Nodes.  These can be found scattered throughout the map.  They are usually in groups of two or three, and are sometimes accompanied by a Monument Node.  To construct a Power Node, you must have a ground unit or structure close to the unconstructed node.  Each power node requires 100 initial power to create.  After the node is constructed, you will begin to draw power from the source slowly over time. 


Do not confuse your power pool with your Void Pool.  Both of these can be seen at the top right corner of your game screen.  The power pool is a constant diminishing number (bottom) that can increase if you construct more nodes on the map.  Your void pool does not effect this.


Each power node has a limited supply that it can offer to the player.  Once the supply is fully drained, the power node is rendered useless.  There is at least one card that can slow the drain of power from nodes.  The Juice Tank.

Power Flow

Power flow is one of the most important things to understand while playing BattleForge.
It is depicted on following picture:
Power flow

Abbreviations

GP - gatherable power, power you can gather from wells.
AP - additional power, power you gain from nowhere. (Striker's Looting ability, for instance)
UP - usable power, power you can use at a given moment.
BP - bound power, power that is "bound" in your creatures and buildings.
VP - void power, power in your void pool.
LP - lost power, power that it threw out of the cycle.

Lines

A - constant flow from Power Wells to your usable power. It's rate is 1 power per second per each well.
B - power gathered by additional means.
C - playing a Unit or a Building and constructing a Monument or a Power Well binds power to it.
D - when unit dies or construction is destroyed, part of its power goes to your Void Pool.
E - playing a Spell, using a Creature Ability or repairing a Building transfers power directly from UP to VP.
F - constant flow from Void Power to your usable power, happening at a rate of VP divided by 50 and rounded to nearest whole number.
G - leftovers from E and D are lost.
