In the latest update to Chaos Reborn, we have localized all game text into Russian, Simplified Chinese and European Portuguese. We can now reach a wider audience than ever before. We would like to offer a special big thank you to our community translation team for volunteering their time.
Some other new features added in this update:
Guilds. Players with the demigod rank and above are now able to create guilds for ranked play. The success (or failure) of members of the guild affect the guild ranking. This is available in both duel and league play. All players can join guilds.
Custom Games. Demigod level players and above can create custom games with new rules and restrictions, special win-conditions and use optional procedurally generated maps. All players can participate in these matches.
In addition, weekly duel rankings have now been added for all players.
Chaos Reborn v1.13 - Guilds, custom rulesets, and localization.
This version sees the introduction of guilds, some new custom games options, and localization into Simplified Chinese, Russian and European Portuguese.
New features and major changes:
- Demigods can now create guilds and invite players at any level to join them. Swear your eternal loyalty at http://www.forum.chaos-reborn.com/viewforum.php?f=14 or say hello in-game.
- Duels now have a weekly ranking system, and the top 10 players with a rating of over 10 will get a medal.
- Guilds can compete against each other in the weekly duels league, and in the existing monthly league system. Guilds will need to win enough stars to achieve "archguild" status before they appear in the monthly league table.
- Demigods can now create new live games, which anyone can join, with custom per-player rules and victory conditions (e.g., "No Chaos Spells", "Kill enemy wizard with sword").
- The game is now fully translated into Simplified Chinese, Russian and European Portuguese.
