You can find the answers to the questions at the very bottom of the page.

Sir, do you have a wiki?

Yes, what about it?

Give this man a 777 pages celebration.

What?

Is that not enough? Give him a legendary contest as well.

I have Tacticus installed! Give me those 777 sweet prizes!

I'm sorry, you didn't participate in the Unofficially Official Tacticus Wiki 777 Celebration using the instructions on this wiki page. I cannot give you those 777 prizes. But! For this week only, if you follow the instructions on this wiki page to participate in the contest, you will have a chance at the awesome 777 prizes. What are you waiting for!? Enter the contest NOW!

I've plenty to tell you, Tactician. There are opportunities here. The cost of inaction has never been higher; the rewards, beyond imagination. Read. Just read. You might learn something. Even you, my proud brother, can still be tutored.

The Wiki was born April 7th, 2022 during beta and I joined the project on July 15th, one month before global release. In that time, the wiki has expanded from a simple front page to now 777 pages of content. This was not a singular effort. Nor is the wiki anywhere near complete. But every so often one must stop and appreciate the work that was done.

In celebration of hitting 777 pages right at the debut of Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of Nurgle (whose associated number is 7), I have put together a short scavenger hunt that, I hope, demonstrates the multitudinous reasons the wiki exists and the work that went into putting together this resource for the Tacticus Community (certainly the best community online). And I know exactly what you are asking: are there prizes and glory to be won? Of course!

Much like Tacticus, this is meant to be fun and structured so you can take your time rather than mad dashing through it. There is no reward for being the first, only for being correct. And know that I am not trying to trick you with any of the questions; I have added some clarifying statements where there might be ambiguity and will clarify further if needed. I have not, however, linked to the relevant pages. Some of them might not be as easy to find as others. Muwahaha!

And now, without further ado,
