== Technical details ==
 
 
 
Some awards have flat requirements for being awarded:
 
* Mineral Prospector and 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 and Land Sweeper require 3/3/20 commander/dragon/nest kills.
 
* Master of Puppets, Vile Necromancer and Share Bear require 1000/3000/5000m worth of units captured/resurrected/shared respectively.
 
* Decorated Veteran requires the unit to make 300% cost, with a minimum of 1000m.
 
* 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 consider only 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 players except yourself.
 
# Multiply by a per-award factor given in the table below.
 
# Compare your own damage with the given type. You are eligible if your damage is higher.

 +
* http://zero-k.info/img/Awards/trophy_vet.png '''Decorated Veteran''': extremely efficient usage of a single unit.
  
* <var>A</var> did 900m of damage composed of 450m of fire damage, 350m of kamikaze damage and 100m general damage.
+
=== Chicken Awards ===
* <var>B</var> did 800m kamikaze damage and 50m slow damage.
+
* http://zero-k.info/img/Awards/trophy_heart.png '''Heart Breaker''': killing the Chicken Queen.
* <var>C</var> did 1200m general damage and 50m EMP damage.
+
* http://zero-k.info/img/Awards/trophy_sweeper.png '''Land Sweeper''': destroying Chicken Roosts.
 +
* http://zero-k.info/img/Awards/trophy_dragon.png '''Dragon Slayer''': eliminating Chicken Dragons.
  
The average of others' damage:
+
=== Event Awards ===
* For <var>A</var>, it is {{frac|{{expr|800 + 1200}}|2}} = 1000. The slow dealt by <var>B</var> and EMP dealt by <var>C</var> are not "physical" so do not count.
+
* http://zero-k.info/img/Awards/trophy_gold.pnghttp://zero-k.info/img/Awards/trophy_silver.pnghttp://zero-k.info/img/Awards/trophy_bronze.png '''Tournament Cups''': awarded for the winners of the monthly tournaments.
* For <var>B</var>, it is {{frac|{{expr|900 + 1200}}|2}} = 1050.
+
* http://zero-k.info/img/Awards/coingold.pnghttp://zero-k.info/img/Awards/coinsilver.pnghttp://zero-k.info/img/Awards/coinbronze.png '''Coins''': awarded for minor community events.
* For <var>C</var>, it is {{frac|{{expr|900 + 800}}|2}} = 850.
 
 
The multiplier for kamikaze is 0.3 and for fire is 0.5, so:
 
* <var>A</var> would have to do 1000 &times; 0.5 = 500 fire damage to be eligible. He did 450, so he won't get it.
 
* <var>A</var> would have to do 1000 &times; 0.3 = 300 kamikaze damage. He did 350, so he is eligible.
 
* <var>B</var> would have to do 1050 &times; 0.3 = 315 kamikaze damage. He did 800, so is also eligible.
 
 
<var>B</var> did 800 kamikaze damage and <var>A</var> did 350, so <var>B</var> gets the kamikaze award.
 
Nobody is eligible for the fire award.
 
<var>C</var> did the most total damage, so gets the Complete Annihilation award.
