You can get a rough idea of the innovative mechanics of the game by watching the video, and the documentation for the specific rules of the game is currently being compiled.
Total Bonus $3260 + Secret Prizes
Main Ranking Bonus
This rounds primary win condition is proximity to the center of the universe. This idea was first explored in Dark Forest v0.6 Round 3: Grape Extra-Small.
Players can claim one planet every 4 hours, and their score will update to reflect how far away it is from the center of the universe. Be careful though, as if the planet is destroyed, then its score wont count, and your score will update to your next closest claimed planet.
Please note, that only planets of level 3+ can be claimed for score. You will need to fight for the closest planets, or maybe considering destroying your enemies planets!
Hidden Achievements
This round will also contain secondary, hidden achievements, which will be revealed as players complete them. So you know we aren’t lying (we would never!), we have hashed the sentence explaining the win condition before the round, and will reveal the hash once they are won.
