I have gone in a slightly different route last second with Challenges and their 'Challenge Pts'. While i'll still reward them, they'll currently remain as a score/unusable currency. Other rewards, such as gold, AP, diamonds (for each stage) and permanent bonuses (for completing the last stage) will be awarded.
I'm also a day or two behind for a number of reasons, however things are definitely moving along. I should have a single official solo challenge prepared within the next 48 hours.
Most of the time has been spent with user interface, designing this entirely separate battle mode, and preparing template systems to allow for easy additions of new challenges. It certainly won't take this long to add new challenges in the future, and I don't think it will be too much of a headache preparing the duo, group, and up to 40-player battles.
