Part of Rigged Capitals. Rigged Capitals has its own lobbies, separate
from the normal Casual lobby browser.
- On the main hub, press Start Conquest.
- Use the arrow to turn to the second page of modes, and choose Specialty Modes. You need to
be signed in to an account.
- Pick the Rigged Capitals tile.
This opens the Rigged Capitals lobby browser. It lists only Rigged lobbies, and Rigged lobbies
don't show up in the normal Casual browser.
- Join any open lobby in the list.
- Create your own. It opens as a Rigged Capitals lobby with the standard locked settings
ready to go. You're the host.
The lobby has three columns: the Commanders (the players), the Moderator seat, and the
Match Settings.
The host can change:
- The map: click the map picture to choose another official map.
- Turn Timer: 60, 90 or 120 seconds.
- Imposters: 2 or 3. This choice only appears in lobbies with room for 7–8 players, and it
only applies if 7 or more players are seated when the game starts.
- Portals, Firestorms, Fogged Attack FX and Troops Earned: on or off.
Everything else is fixed for every Rigged game. The full list:
Rules & Roles → The ruleset.
Filling the seats:
- A Rigged game needs 5–8 human players. It's humans only: bots can't fill empty seats.
A bot only steps in mid-match, when a player leaves, disconnects or goes idle.
- Someone has to be the Moderator. Any player in the lobby can press Take Moderator Seat,
and the first to do so gets it. If the lobby fills up with the seat still empty, the last
player to join is moved into it. More about the role:
The Moderator.
- Every player presses Ready. The Moderator doesn't need to.
- The host presses Start. The game won't start without a Moderator or with fewer than 5
players, and it tells you which one is missing.
Once the match is under way it runs on the game's servers. The host is just another player from
then on, with no special powers in the match.
- Spectate or cast a Rigged match. The roles are secret, so live watching is turned off.
- Play Rigged Capitals in Ranked or Correspondence. It's Casual and live only.
