The first rung in one level higher than the landing space. The second rung is three levels higher than the landing space. Each additional rung is 2 levels higher than the previous one.

This is what I was looking for. Thanks!

In a 1v1v1 is it always last one standing wins? Played a game the other day where one person by far killed the most figures, but then lost his last figure and was out. So the winner of the game killed about 5 figures, where the first guy out killed 17.

For that reason, a popular multiplayer game is to keep score of points killed. It encourages aggressive attacking play rather then turtling. With this method, your friend who killed 17 figures would have won even though he had no figures left.

Another method would be the "kill the guy on the left" which can find you saving the guy on the right while he's trying to get you.
That can be a lot of fun.

I tend to prefer "kill the guy on your right". It provides more dilemma decision points. Do I attack the guy on my right to try to win faster? Or do I try to take out some of the units that are about to attack me so as to survive longer (but thereby helping the guy on my right to win faster)?

When you play this way, how does it work. Say I have a unique hero worth 100 points, and someone kills him. I assume they get 100 points. But if I have a squad with 4 figures, 100 points. Someone kills 1 of them, do they get 25 points? Or is it whoever kills the last one.

Usually you’d get the points for killing a figure, not for killing the last figure. You should also get points for wounding heroes. It’d be a good idea to have pen and paper ready.

How do you figure out how much points you get for wounding/killing a figure?

CMGames is exactly right, although technically, ladders aren't supposed to be placed on 0-height tiles.

Scoring can differ slightly, but you usually just get the point value on the card. So if you kill one Marro Stinger, you get 20 points (60 points / 3). For heroes, some people play that the person who kills the hero gets all the points. Others play that you get points for each wound you put on.

I've never done either kind of scoring before, but for those who have, I have a question. How do healing powers or rebirth powers play into point totals? I could imagine a situation where one army was playing against a zombie army, and the zombie army was clearly winning, yet the opponent would win by technicality because they destroyed more points in zombies.

Try 'Keep what you Kill'.

Each figure destroyed by a player is placed in their destroyed pile. These are scored at the end of the game. Re-spawning figures like zombies can be drawn from these piles and can lead to some strategy when choosing which figure to return.

When playing a points game is there a formula that is used to determine what is right amount of points to win?

For example I'm playing a 1v1v1 game tonight 550 point armies. Should victory be 400, 500, 600 points? Trying this for the first time.

The formula is whatever you'd like it to be. Most people in that example would probably just decide that whoever earns the most points wins.
