Rebecca Ann Heineman is an American video game designer and programmer. A long-time veteran of the video game industry, Heineman was a founding member of video game companies Interplay Productions, Logicware, Contraband Entertainment, and Olde Sküül. She has been chief executive officer for Olde Sküül since 2013.
Early life[edit]
Rebecca Ann Heineman (born William Salvador Heineman) was born and raised in Whittier, California.[2] When she was young, she could not afford to purchase games for her Atari 2600, so she taught herself how to copy cartridges and built herself a sizable pirated video game collection. Eventually, she became discontented with just copying games and reverse-engineered the console's code to understand how the games were made.[3] In 1980, Heineman and a friend traveled to Los Angeles to compete in a regional branch of a national Space Invaders championship. Although she did not expect to fall under the top 100 contestants, she won the competition. Later that year, she also won the championship in New York. Heineman is hence considered to be the first national video game tournament champion.[3]
Career[edit]
After she won the tournament, Heineman was offered a writing job for monthly magazine Electronic Games and a consultancy job for a book called How to Master Video Games. During this time, she mentioned to one magazine publisher that she had reverse-engineered Atari 2600 code, and the publisher arranged a meeting between Heineman and the owners of game publisher Avalon Hill. As she met with them, she was hired as a programmer instantaneously. Heineman, aged 16 at the time, moved across the U.S. for her new job, canceling her plans to acquire a high school diploma. At Avalon Hill, Heineman created a manual for the company's programming team, the studio's game engine, and the base code for several software projects, including her first own game, London Blitz, before leaving the company.[3]
Heineman returned to California to work for another developer, Boone Corporation. For Boone, she programmed the games Chuck Norris Superkicks and Robin Hood, acquiring knowledge of programming for Commodore 64, Apple II, VIC-20 and IBM PCs, of video game hardware, as well as video game design. Boone ceased operations in 1983, so Heineman got together with Brian Fargo, Jay Patel and Troy Worrell, and the four founded Interplay Productions (later known as Interplay Entertainment). Heineman acted as lead programmer for the company, working on Wasteland, The Bard's Tale, Out of This World, and the Mac OS and 3DO ports of Wolfenstein 3D.[3]
Heineman went on to design The Bard's Tale III: Thief of Fate, Dragon Wars, Tass Times in Tonetown, Borrowed Time, Mindshadow and The Tracer Sanction, among others, for Interplay. As the company grew to more than 500 employees, Heineman, wishing to return to her small-team roots, left the company in 1995 and co-founded Logicware, where she acted as chief technology officer and lead programmer. Aside from original games, Heineman oversaw the company's porting activities, which included Out of This World, Shattered Steel, Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and a canceled Mac OS port of Half-Life.[3]
In 1999, Heineman founded Contraband Entertainment, operating as its chief executive officer. The company developed several original games alongside ports to various platforms for other developers. Projects led by Heineman include Myth III: The Wolf Age and Activision Anthology, and Mac OS ports for Aliens vs. predator, Baldur's Gate II and Heroes of Might and Magic IV. During this time, she also provided consultancy work directly for other companies: She acted as 'Senior Engineer III' for Electronic Arts, upgraded engine code for Barking Lizards Technologies and Ubisoft, optimized code for Sensory Sweep Studios, acted as senior software architect for Bloomberg L.P. and Amazon, provided training on Xbox 360 development for Microsoft's development studios, and worked on the kernel code for the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 4 at Sony. During her tenure at Amazon, Heineman was, in addition to her technological role, also the 'Transgender Chair' of Amazon's LGBTQ+ group, known as Glamazon.[3]
Contraband was wound down in 2013, and Heineman founded a new company, Olde Sküül, together with Jennell Jaquays, Maurine Starkey, and Susan Manley. At Olde Sküül, Heineman acts as CEO.[3]
Personal life[edit]
Around 2003, Heineman was diagnosed with gender dysphoria and began transitioning to a woman.[1][4] She formally changed her given name to Rebecca Ann.[1][5] Since the transition, Heineman has been living as a lesbian.[1] She has five children and is married to Jennell Jaquays.[1][6] Heineman resides in El Cerrito, California, where her company Olde Sküül is located.[3][7]
Board service[edit]
Heineman has been part of the advisory board of the Video Game History Museum since 2011, and is part of the board of directors of LGBTQ+ organization GLAAD.[3]
Accolades[edit]
Heineman is recognized as the first national video game tournament champion for winning the 1980 National Space Invaders Championship.[3]Sailor Ranko, a Sailor Moon-based fanfiction comic by Heineman based on an earlier work by written by Duncan Zillman, has won multiple awards.[8][3] In 2017, she became an inductee for the International Video Game Hall of Fame.[3]

How can you quickly obtain high-quality materials, increase your offense, and save time? Read all about the nuances of destroying Invaders in this article.
So many and all yours
There are 16 Invaders in Vikings: War of Clans. They can be roughly divided into eight humans and eight animals. On the Global Map, they are distributed in the following way: the weakest ones – level 1 Invaders – are located on the edges of the Map, and the most powerful – level 6 Invaders – are closer to the Place of Power.
Four different Invaders can appear simultaneously in the Viking lands:
![Viking invaders mac os catalina Viking invaders mac os catalina](https://www.macgamestore.com/images_screenshots/bad-north-76321.jpg)
Two of them are set by the schedule (Invader and Uber Invader)
- One is selected by users in the official Facebook community
- One more is chosen by the King of Jotunheim
However, if an Invader that is already scheduled to appear wins the poll, or the King of Jotunheim chooses such an Invader (or chooses none), then the enemies on the Global Map will not be so varied. The total number of enemies won’t change, so don’t worry – there will be enough enemies for the whole Kingdom.
An Invader appears on the Global Map and is ready to fight your Hero, let’s say, for a week. After it’s destroyed, the Invader’s Lair is left. For three days, you will be able to occupy the Lair, attack it if it’s occupied by an opponent, or defend from enemy attacks. When it has been fully plundered, a new Invader will appear to replace it (but not in the same location). The Invader will be the same if the notional week isn’t over yet.
The clear benefit of variety
Every Invader has its own set of five materials. There are two ways to learn what drops from which Invader: open the detailed information about an Invader by selecting it on the Global Map, or have a look at the table on our forum.
Sets of Invaders’ equipment give various bonuses, which increase the stats of your troops, Town, and Hero. For example, the Royal Guardsman’s Set will be useful for fighting Invaders more effectively. Its bonuses allow you to reduce the Hero’s energy depletion and restoration time, and to increase the power of your attacks.
Attack, attack again, finish them off
Your Hero is at the top of the food chain. They are immortal and don’t have health or defensive stats, they have only offense. As for Invaders, they don’t travel across the Map, don’t attack or deal damage to anyone, but have health and defense that increase together with the Invader’s level, making the Hero perform more hits and spend more energy to attack them.
There are two types of attack: normal and enhanced. During a normal attack, the Hero deals one hit to an Invader by spending a certain amount of energy, and receives one trophy for doing this. During an enhanced attack, the Hero deals several blows depending on the amount of energy they have, and, correspondingly, receives several trophies. For example, the Hero has 1,000 units of energy. One hit requires 200 units, so by performing an enhanced attack, the Hero will deal five hits and receive five trophies.
There are also two types of attacks with bonuses: critical and sustained. A normal or enhanced attack can become critical due to a random enhancing coefficient, letting the Hero deal more damage with the same amount of energy.
![Mojave Mojave](https://static.miraheze.org/crappygameswiki/b/b2/ToBcover.jpg)
A sustained attack gives a bonus to the next attack (not hit!). The first attack on the Invader will add 15% to the second attack, the second attack will add 30% to the third attack, the third attack will add 45% to the fourth attack, and so on. You can perform a maximum of 40 attacks in a series and get +600% to offense. Every sustained attack bonus is active for one hour.
It’s important to remember:
- When the maximum number of attacks in a series is reached, the next attacks won’t increase the bonus. You can view the number of available attacks in a series in the Hero section of the Statistics tab.
- If the Hero attacks another Invader, the sustained attack bonus is reset.
- If the Hero and Hero’s Double are attacking different Invaders in turn, the bonuses will also be lost.
Do some good and deal damage
There are four ways to increase the damage dealt:
- Upgrade the power of the Hero’s attack
- Increase the chance of critical hit
- Reduce the Invader’s defense
- Make more attacks in a series
Viking Invaders Mac Os 7
The following things affect the power of an attack:
- Hero’s Offense Knowledge
- Hero’s Total Offense Skill
- Increased Hero’s Offense boosts
- Equipment: Guardsman Helmet, White Robe, White Boots, Sword of Vengeance
The chance to perform a critical attack is determined by:
- Hero’s Critical Hit Knowledge
Invaders’ defense is reduced by:
- Reduced Invader Defense Knowledge
- Weaken Invaders Hero’s Skill
- Equipment: Guardsman Helmet, Plated Gauntlet, White Boots, Sword of Vengeance
The available number of attacks in a series is increased by:
Mac Os Versions
- Hero’s Sustained Attack Knowledge
- Hero’s Sustained Attack Skill
Be cheerful
The basic amount of energy is 1,000 units, and the maximum possible amount is 500,000 units.
The amount and speed of Hero’s energy restoration are increased by:
- Peridot gem (Legendary class gives +250 units of energy)
- Hero’s Energy Reserve Knowledge
- Increased Hero’s Energy Skill
- Emerald gem (Legendary class gives +3% to energy restoration speed)
- Hero’s Energy Restoration Knowledge
- Hero’s Energy Restoration Skill
- Hero’s Energy Restoration boost
- “Hero’s energy depletion reduced by 10%!” bonus in the Events window
- Hero’s Endurance Knowledge
- All Town Skins
- Equipment: Canis Mask, Pack’s Claws, Canis Eye, Barbarian’s Helmet, Barbarian’s Armor, Barbarian’s Boots, Bear Coat, Beast Boots, Plated Gauntlet
It’s important to remember that using the Hero’s Energy item gives a temporary effect. This means that if you increase the basic amount of energy from 2,000 units to 100,000 units, defeat many Invaders, and exhaust your Hero to zero, their energy will restore to only 2,000 points.
The big boss awaits you
The Pict, Avarin, Longobard, or Gepid Uber Invaders can be found around the Place of Power. Each of them is a leader of four Invaders. This means that an Uber Invader is holding twenty different materials. You can take a closer look at the drop table on our forum.
Exactly 100 Uber Invaders enter a Kingdom. All of them have extreme vitality, manage without defense, and don’t have levels. This means that to attack an Uber Invader, you just need to upgrade the Unlock Invaders I Knowledge.
After an Uber Invader has been destroyed, the Uber Invader’s Lair appears in its place. It exists for three days. If it hasn’t been completely plundered at the moment of the invasion of the new wave of Uber Invaders, then it remains on the Map, and there will be one fewer new Uber Invader.
What can you get for attacking these big bosses?
- Invaders’ materials (standard materials don’t drop from Uber Invaders)
- Special gems
- Special items
Let’s recap
Mac Os Mojave
- You can select Invaders you need by voting in the official Facebook community or by becoming the King of Jotunheim.
- It’s more effective to defeat Invaders by receiving bonuses for a series of attacks.
- You can collect Invaders’ materials faster by attacking Uber Invaders. It’s important to remember that there are 16 Invaders in the game and waiting for a certain Invader may take a long time.
- It’s more beneficial to defeat Invaders and Uber Invaders when the “Hero’s energy depletion reduced by 10%!” bonus is active in the Events window.
