No. Multipliers never affect the values being summed up for your final shot value in Martell.
Multipliers only affect your collects, which are your third shot, and final shot only.

Okay, good to know that others have seen this too.
On Erikās first attempt (video 2, 1:00:55), he takes a full 15 seconds to hit his first orbit, and in the process hits multiple gold standups, both slings, Tyrell targets, the drops (on at least three separate occasions), and drains out the left outlane with LOL lit. Itās all minor switches except for the left outlane. Yet, he still gets 19.25m.
On his second attempt, he gets 19.25m on three separate occasionsā¦first when he nails the orbit immediately after the mode start, and the other two times as his orbit timer has expired and he has to start over.
I do think there is a way to get it to start counting down from 19.25m, but it seems uncommon and/or requires a major switch that keeps the ball in play (as his left outlane drain followed by short plunge didnāt start the countdown).
You could be right about this tooā¦Iām not sure I tested that. In that case, each subsequent hurry up would start by adding ~10m to your current value, and begin counting down the whole value (rather than just the 10m).
Iāll try testing this tonight and update my post above with findings.

I know itās a different mode, but HOTK would like a word with you.

Video mode: whatās the deal?
Sometimes you start it and itās level one or two for peanuts and sometime you start video mode and itās level fifty-something for almost 300 million before multipliers. I canāt figure out what, if anything, increases the level or if itās purely random.
Iāve never seen that and Iāve played over 1000 games on mine. Iāve only seen level 1, 2 or 3 which are awarded when chosen with a lot of gold. I have had a 300M complete on video mode. It was a 3x selected from spend your gold, combined with a 5x playfiield. 20m x 3 x 5 = 300M!

Yes thatās the normal way Iāve ever scored big on video mode but lately the one I play on location will be up at level 50-56 and the other day I collected a 3X video mode at 750 mil. Sadly no play field multipliers.
The weird thing is the level is either at level 1-3 or up around level 50-56. I donāt think Iāve ever seen it at level 5-45.
Is it an operator adjustable setting?
The only setting Iām aware of is difficulty. Iāve never seen this and have played that video mode thousands of times. Thing is thereās no levels, just 1,2,3x video mode. Not sure where your seeing the level show up. Iām confused as all get out about this. Haha

At the bottom of the screen in small font it will give a video mode level.
Iāll double check the code to make sure itās up to date but Iām pretty sure it is.
Crazy. Iāll try and play some soon and see if I canāt figure it out.

That would be much appreciated. I donāt have access to a game I can pull the glass on. Itās driving me a little crazy. Iāve mostly ignored the video mode unless I had some play field multipliers going but lately itās been paying out.
What did Mel get on itā¦?I want say 680 mil with no playfield multipliers.

Thatās possible. But the behavior Iāve seen is level 50 is 250 million. When it gets up to level 55 or 56 itās close to 300 million, so that score was either 2x video mode or 2x play field, but, yes, weāve been seeing some absurd video mode scores.
At league night our opponent was as taken aback as we were by getting 380 million on video mode.
I think itās fair to say Iāve played the Ship Ahoy GoT more than anyone and Iāve never seen video mode payout like this until recently.
So I played some video mode today. You can see in the lower right corner is the mode level. Level one starts at 20mil and as far as I can tell each level adds five million to the base score you get for winning the sword fight. What increases the level remains a mystery. It seems to be independent of gold or other game progress. And how it gets up to outlandish level 50+ values remains equally mysterious.
Is level 55 the highest weāve seen?
A variable not resetting in between players (similar to how HOTK base values werenāt resetting unless you power cycled)?

I want to say Iāve seen level 59. Although playing today the highest I saw was level 5. The funny thing about when the level is jacked up is you get 20-40 million before multipliers for LOSING the mode!
This hadnāt occurred to me but it makes the most sense. If I start seeing big video mode levels again Iāll try a power cycle and see if resets back to level one.

That makes complete sense since I have never seen this at home and I always turn the game off as soon as Iām finished playing.

So I went gold-farming (sadly in Game of Thrones this canāt yet be outsourced to some kids in AsiaāMMORPG styleāyou have to do it the hard way) to get as many video modes as possible. Or as I like to call it turning GP into XP. The video mode level does appear to be a value that increases one level each time you win video mode. As @Snailman suggested the new higher level holds between balls, players, and games. Over a bunch of games I was able to work the level up from level one with a 20mil base value up to level 15 with a 90mil base value. Occasionally the game would throw a level one video mode in the mix for yucks, but this did not appear to be a hard reset the next video mode would be back where ever the increased value left off.
This may just be a particular quirk of the machine I play a lot? Iāll have to go play some other machines and see. This could, however, have some fortuitous results for people who play late in unlimited open qualifying tournaments. I donāt know if there is a ceiling to how high the level will go if the game is played a lot without a power cycle, but Iāve seen the base value as high as 300mil!
(Playing GoT for gold was an interesting diversion. For the two people who might be interested my gold-farming strategy was this: play as House Greyjoy, complete House Lannister and House Martell as soon as possible, get multiballs as early and often as possible, use multiballs to pound gold targets and mystery-pops (one of the awards as House Lannister is 300 gold). Before you know it youāll be sitting on a dragonās hoard of GP.)

Definitely looks like a bug to me. Someone forgot to reset a counter, by the looks of things.
If played as a two-player game, can player 2 take advantage of the progress made by player 1, or is there a separate counter for each player?
