Another year, another regicide rumble! After a legendary 6th edition in 2025 that saw a photo finish, ‘you build wonder house’, and a player losing their wonder in the grand finals with just 2 years left on the countdown, the event is back better than ever. For the seventh (!) time, players of all skill levels will battle on a variety of 8-player maps, carefully considering if they want to win through diplomacy or kill off as many enemy kings as possible!
Just like the 6th edition, there will be 2 community days (August 5th & 6th), 2 pro days (August 7th & 8th) and a finals day (August 9th). There are 2 finals: One for players with the most king snipes who didn’t win their game, and one grand final for all the winners from the first 4 days. The total prize pool of $4500+ is sponsored by ThreatLocker.
Format and Settings
Regicide Rumble games will be played on maps that are suited for regicide diplomacy settings. Maps will not be released until after players are placed and schedule is set. The settings are Last Man Standing, Regicide & Unlocked teams. This means victory can be achieved by having the last king that’s alive, collecting all the relics for a relic victory, or building a wonder for a wonder victory.
The host must select this data mod when creating the lobby. Otherwise, the maps will not be available.
With the mod, Donjons and Towers (Watch Tower, Guard Tower, Keep, Bombard Tower) take up 1 population space. This is to discourage turtling 🙂
Before the match starts, 15 civilizations are banned globally to ensure good variety between different games. After this, civilizations are picked by all players in the match in order from lowest 1v1 elo to highest 1v1 elo. In the event that a competitor has less than 10 ranked 1v1s their order is decided by moderator discretion. Like Regicide Rumble VI, players will not start with a castle due to DE's "Regicide Mode" which will ensure greater balance of civilizations.
The admins will handle selecting the host, server, and ensuring lobby settings are correct.
However, here are 2 screenshots of the correct
pre-lobby settings
and game lobby settings.
Make sure spectators are enabled when making the lobby!
Regicide Rules
The following extra rules apply to ensure a fun, fair game for everyone:
- Players must not resign
- Players may not delete their king, or delete a transport ship with their own king in it
- Players may not purposely kill their own king, for example by ground-attacking or using splash damage
- Allied victory is not allowed
- Players may not receive any information from outside sources
- Players can not have any streams open while playing the regicide rumble game
Admins hold the final decision on individual situations. Not following these rules may lead to a (partial) prize pool deduction.
Schedule & Prize Money
Two games are played each day of Regicide Rumble VII. Game 2 will start about 20 minutes after game 1 is finished, so we ask players to keep an eye on the first game of the day to ensure they are ready to go.
- Game 1 - 16 GMT / 12pm EST
- Game 2 - 18:30 GMT / 14:30 EST (Approximately)
Players will get $25 per king snipe. In a case where it is unclear which player is responsible for sniping a king, admins have the final decision. Placements are based on the time survived in the game. In case a player wins with a relic or wonder victory, 2nd and 3rd place are based on the highest score of players that are still alive when the game ends.
The winners from each game will be invited to play the Grand Final. The 8 players who did not win their game with the most kingsnipes will be invited for the kingsnipe final. In case of a tie, T90 and Rbase96 will decide which players will be invited. The kingsnipe final is the first game on August 9, the Grand Final is the second and final game.
The placement prizes are as follows:
| Games | 1st | 2nd | 3rd |
|---|---|---|---|
| Community days | $100 | $50 | $25 |
| Pro days | $200 | $125 | $75 |
| Kingsnipe final | $100 | $50 | $25 |
| Grand final | $250 | $125 | $75 |
Additionally, there are two extra prizes:
| King snipes | $25 per king |
|---|---|
| Fan favorite (1 per game) | $25 per game |
Players will receive their prize money through PayPal after the tournament is finished. More details will be posted in the Regicide Rumble Discord when the event is finished.
