Build events are reoccurring challenges that encourage building based on a story element or a creative constraint. The two primary building events are Episodes, and Limited Time Challenges.
Episodes
Episodes are the primary build event of the Factions game. With regular intervals (usually bi-monthly), an episode will progress the overall storyline of the Factions game. Special rules and conditions will apply to each Episode.
Limited Time Challenge
As the name suggests, an LTC is a challenge that runs for a few weeks, usually with a double XP/IP reward. LTCs are often subject to a theme, topic, or a certain technique constraint (e.g. a theme like ‘land speeders’, a topic like ‘water’, or a technique constraint like ‘color red’ or a specific LEGO brick).
