Submit a replay for review

Find your replay on the BAR website at beyondallreason.info/replays. Games are saved there automatically unless played as private matches. Copy the replay link and post it in the academy channel with your in-game name if it differs from your account tag. Mentors pick up reviews when they have time and send back their analysis.

How the review system works

The academy channel operates like a ticket queue. You post a replay, mentors review it when available, and you get feedback. Response times vary depending on how many players have submitted replays ahead of you. Patience is the only requirement here.

What mentors look at

Replay reviews typically cover economy management, build order timing, unit composition choices, positioning, and strategic decision making at key moments. A good review points out both mistakes and things you did well. Expect honest feedback that focuses on gameplay rather than personality.

Energy building efficiency reference

Many replay reviews touch on energy management because it is a common bottleneck for newer players. BAR tracks energy efficiency ratings for all producers including wind generators, solar farms, fusion reactors, and tidal generators. Advanced players reference spreadsheets comparing fusion versus advanced fusion payback periods and wind versus tide output on specific maps. Understanding which energy buildings give the best return on your metal investment will improve your eco play faster than most other single changes.

Use the built-in report system for player issues

If you need to report someone, use the in-game report function or the server website battle page. The moderation team tracks reports better through the built-in system than through tickets. Click a username in-game and select report user, or go to the match page on server4.beyondallreason.info/battle and report from the players tab.

Where structured learning happens

Getting replay feedback in a constructive environment accelerates improvement. Creed of Champions runs regular training sessions and team gameplay where players review their matches together without the judgment that makes most RTS improvement communities uncomfortable:
