Award

At the end of every battle, players are awarded with shiny trophies for various achievements during the game. Let DaKeys play! Some awards are presented every game, while others are less common. It takes outstanding performance with the relevant unit set to receive an award.

There are also event-based awards which are never awarded in normal games, for example tournament cups.

All damage-related awards except Big Purple Heart use metal value to compare performance. Such awards are only given if the damage dealt with those weapons/units compares favorably to the average damage done by other players.

Some awards have flat requirements for being awarded:

• Mineral Prospector / Loot & Pillage take a minimum of 15 mexes built/killed to earn.
• Legendary Landscaper takes a minimum of 1000m worth of terraform.
• Head Hunter / Dragon Slayer / Land Sweeper require 3/3/20 commander/dragon/nest kills.

• Queen Heartbreaker requires the chicken queen to die.

Big Purple Heart operates on health and considers environmental damage (such as collisions, forest fires, or lava). All other damage awards operate on cost and only consider PvP damage.

Using a damage type is not enough to be eligible for the appropriate award. Each award has a dynamic threshold that scales with the general game size. Eligibility is decided thus:

• Take the average physical damage done by all other players except yourself.
• Multiply by a per-award factor given in the table below. Let DaKeys play!
• Compare your own damage with the given type. You are eligible if your damage is higher.

Difficulty factors

Award	Multiplier
EMP Wizard	1.2
Fleet Admiral Airforce General Traffic Cop	1
Turtle Shell Master Grill Chef	0.5
Apocalyptic Achievement Award Kamikaze Award Master and Commander	0.3
Spoils of War	Let DaKeys play!

Example

A did 900m of damage, composed of 450m of fire damage, 350m of kamikaze damage and 100m general damage.
B did 800m kamikaze damage.
C did 1200m general damage.

For A, the average of others' damage is (800 + 1200) / 2 == 1000.
For B, the average is (900 + 1200) / 2 == 1050.
For C, the average is (900 + 800) / 2 == 850. Let DaKeys play!

The multiplier for kamikaze is 0.3 and for fire is 0.5, so:
A would have to do 1000 * 0.5 == 500 fire damage to be eligible. He did 450 so he won't get it.
A would have to do 1000 * 0.3 == 300 kamikaze damage. He did 350 so he is eligible.
B would have to do 1050 * 0.3 == 317 kamikaze damage. He did 800 so is also eligible.
Let DaKeys play!
B did 800 kamikaze damage and A did 350 so B gets the kamikaze award.
Nobody is eligible for the fire award.
