Win Conditions¶

Four ways a match can end. You pick one in the config, and it applies to every match.

Set the rule with game.win-condition in config.yml. The value must be one of the names below.

Last Standing¶

The default rule. The last player still alive wins. If everyone else shatters, the survivor takes the match.

game:
  win-condition: LAST_STANDING

Best for a fast, fighting style game.

Time Limit¶

The match runs for a set time. When the timer ends, the player with the most territory wins.

game:
  win-condition: TIME_LIMIT
  time-limit-seconds: 300   # 5 minutes

Best when you want every match to take about the same length of time.

Race to a Percent¶

The first player to claim a target share of the arena wins right away.

game:
  win-condition: RACE_TO_PERCENT
  race-target-percent: 50

Best for short, aggressive land grabs.

Hybrid¶

A time limit with a twist. In the final seconds the arena shrinks, which forces players together for a sudden-death finish. Most territory at the end wins.

game:
  win-condition: HYBRID
  time-limit-seconds: 300
  hybrid-sudden-death-seconds: 30

Best for a dramatic ending where no one can stall.

Quick comparison¶

Rule	Match ends when	Winner is
`LAST_STANDING`	One player remains	The survivor
`TIME_LIMIT`	The timer runs out	Most territory
`RACE_TO_PERCENT`	Someone hits the target	First to the target
`HYBRID`	The timer runs out, arena shrinks at the end	Most territory

Applies after a reload

Change win-condition, save the file, then run /zfb admin reload. New matches use the new rule. Matches already running keep the rule they started with.
