Feedback Channels: For players outside of China, please send feedback via email to zhannghong2002@aliyun.com. For players in China, please join the QQ group 1026688098 to provide feedback. [If you are unable to provide feedback through the above methods, the developer may not see it!]

Testing Rewards:

1.Players who complete feedback according to the provided method. (If unable to provide feedback via the specified method but wish to participate in the draw, please state the reason. However, there's a chance the developers may not see your feedback!)

2.Valid feedback forms (including Information Collection 1 and Information Collection 2; suggestions and bug reports are optional, but your STEAM nickname is required).

3.Submissions must be made before 24:00 on March 10, 2025.

4.A STEAM nickname is mandatory.

Currently, at least 1 CDKEY winner will be selected for every 50 participants. The selection process involves generating 10 random numbers between 1 and 500 (500 being the upper limit, the actual number of participants will be used for the draw) corresponding to the sequence numbers of the testers. The corresponding participants will be the winners. Additionally, 5 CDKEYs will be awarded to the best feedback providers.

CDKEYs are for personal use only and cannot be resold. The final interpretation rights belong to the developers. The final interpretation rights of the event belong to the developers.

For example, if 151 people participate in the testing draw, at least 4 CDKEY winners will be selected through the draw, and 5 best feedback providers will receive CDKEYs.

You may feel that the odds of winning are not high, so the developers are applying for more CDKEYs to potentially increase the winning chances based on the application results.

If you share the event on social media and invite 3 testers, your chances of winning will significantly increase. Players must provide screenshots as proof and include the STEAM nicknames of the 3 invited testers. [This can be triggered multiple times with different social media platforms and additional sets of 3 testers.] If the testers you invite do not provide correct feedback, the number of valid feedback entries will be used as the standard.

For example, if 151 people participate in the testing draw, and 1 person shares the event on social media and invites 3 testers who all provide correct feedback with verifiable STEAM nicknames, the range for generating random numbers will change from 1-151 to 1-152. If the sharer's number is 105, their winning numbers will now be 105 and 106. The winning numbers for other participants will be adjusted accordingly.

Acknowledgments

Thank you to every player for your support! "Automatic Battle: Galactic Generals" becomes more perfect because of your participation! Finally, please show your support for players who enjoy the game and help increase its exposure.
