幽灵
所有人在Empires 每日挑战中游玩同一个种子生成的阶段——但今天的对手可能多带一样东西:一支来自昨天最高分玩家军队的先锋。没有网络代码,没有实时对战——只是今天的棋盘被昨天的结果所萦绕。击败幽灵,明天就轮到别人来对付你的幽灵。
A vanguard, not a clone
The ghost doesn't replay yesterday's match — it injects up to 5 units into the bot's side, sampled from that player's final army. Only unit type and whether it was golden (2★) carry over; every stat (HP, attack, everything else) is rebuilt fresh from the current template. That keeps placement always legal and difficulty always governed by the phase's own dials — the ghost changes who you're fighting, not how hard the fight is.
Who becomes the ghost
The ghost for today is the best Daily score from yesterday — deterministic, so every player faces the same opponent. No scores yesterday (a slow day, or a fresh region)? Today's Daily simply runs without a ghost — nothing ever blocks the match.
The mirror
Every Daily outcome shows your rank for the day — because your own army could be tomorrow's ghost. Win, and your name might haunt someone else's board next.
Reward
Beating an active ghost pays +10% on top of the normal Daily score — a bonus, no new currency.
When it shows up
Ghosts only appear once you've cleared Phase 1 of the campaign — a fresh profile's very first match stays exactly the tutorial it always was.
