Editing Living Legends (section)

== Event format ==

Living Legends combines conventional large-scale paintball battles with structured scenario missions, specialised competitions and a concluding final battle.

The principal scenario divides participants into two opposing armies. Each army operates under a commanding officer and executive officer, with players organised into smaller formations known as legions.

These formations receive assigned objectives and participate in coordinated attacks and defensive operations.

The 2014 event incorporated separate skirmish battles alongside the principal scenario. Teams accumulated points through controlling objectives, completing missions and winning designated engagements.[5]

The event's format has evolved over time, with different scenarios introducing additional rules and objectives. In 2019, each side had seven legion commanders who organised players and received missions from the production staff.[14]

Final-battle scoring has also changed between editions. In 2017, the organisers replaced the slapstick objective on the mound between CPX's Bedlam and Armageddon fields with buckets into which players threw foam blocks to score points.[12] The 2019 final battle at Legacy Adventure Park combined slapstick objectives with cubes that players placed in barrels.[14]

The 2026 edition incorporated smaller legion battles, five-player competitions and individual missions involving puzzles, trivia and other activities. It also included a magazine-fed game and a final battle.[11]
