Creative Mode Beta
Welcome to Creative Mode! A brand new Playground experience focused on experimentation, ridiculous builds, and glorious architectural bad decisions…
No pressure. No limits. Pure realm-building chaos.

Creative mode Item shelves now function as unlimited dispensers: No more rationing your favorite pieces. Grab as many as you like!
New Creative Mode Only Structures and Fragments: Walls, Plateaus, Bridges, Trees, Spikes, Plane of Creation fragment and cap.
Creative mode unlocks as soon as you first name your realm and unlock the map, so the chaos can begin immediately
Place Structures Anywhere: We’ve relaxed the placement restrictions in creative mode significantly. Stack, float, and angle pieces in ways previously forbidden.
Override Snap Rules: Want even more control? Hold down Trigger while placing objects to ignore snapping rules and place items freely at any angle.
More Save Slots: Creative builders need more room for their masterpieces. Save slots have increased from 3 to 8.
Final Note from the Ancient Ones on Creative mode:
Can you break Creative mode?
Probably.
Can you make something awesome with it?
Definitely.
No more Replay Spoilers:

Wouldn’t it be more exciting to watch replays if you didn’t know the results yet? The post-game screen now waits to show results until after the replay completes or player skips replay.
Additional Changes:

Healers self-destruct if they are the only support enemy left on a tile.
Cavern of Mystery more likely to drop gold or bonus chest
Reduce difficulty of initial Gladiatrix and Goblin unlock levels
Add Clear Skies structure to the mix in Caverns of the Unknown
Small boost to health and damage stats for Barbarian and Goblin champions
Thank you to everyone who has given suggestions and feedback on the Discord channel! Keep it coming!
-The Ancient Ones
P.S. And if you make something awesome that you think would be a good daily challenge level, let us know on discord! Maybe yours will be the next Player Created Daily Challenge to show up at Rise-N-Grind! https://discord.gg/ZyGzJRQURm

Barbaria 1.9 - Age of ImpUnity Update

Too long have Imps played second fiddle to Skeletons. Too long have they remained fodder for invading hordes of Barbarians, ignored when raiding others, and merely an afterthought of placement in realms. Now it is their time for balance! Welcome to the Age of Imp-Unity! We’ve made a number of balance updates to try to make Imps more valuable relative to their placement cost, along with numerous other tweaks to try to make a wider variety of strategies viable. Divine Hammer damage radius has been significantly reduced, we have reduced ranged damage from projectiles and bombs, boosted some weaker structures, etc. Age rewards will be based on kills from your named Imps, and we look forward to seeing how you use those Imps to create mayhem!
New Structure: Clear Skies (Anti-projectile defense)
Fix incomplete replay bug introduced in Age08
Fix zapping weapons as they’re being sheathed
Shorter cooldown on Caverns of the Unknown and Ring of Champions
Balance Changes:
Reduce Damage Radius on Divine Hammer
Increase Imp Health 33%
Boost Melee attack power, and reduce ranged damage for Imps, Zealots, and Skeletons.
Faster Healer intro time for anti-projectile zapping
Reduce Bomb Damage and radius
Reduce Skeleton head damage radius

The Age of Play Begins!
New Features:

Playground Save Slots: There are now 3 different save slots in the Playground area. Load and save different realm ideas. Want to experiment with a few tweaks to your Realm before you set it live? Pull your Realm to your Playground and try out changes there. Have an awesome Playground idea you’ve been saving for just the right moment? Push it to be your active Realm for ranked raids.
No Limits: Tired of the Ancient ones telling you how many Minions you can place, and restricting their placement radius? Turn on “No Limits” in the Playground and go wild! In playgrounds only, place as many tiles and items as you want. Placement distance restrictions are removed, so you can focus on creating the most awesome level you can imagine.
Playground Level Normalization: In an effort to make Playground realms accessible and fun for players of different rankings, we have added a level normalization option to Playgrounds that will rescale item levels to match those of the attacking champion. A player with a level 2 max champion attacking the playground will find Level 2 items, while a Level 5 champion will find Level 5 items. The option to always use your actual minion and item levels is in the Playground settings.
Mirrored Fragment Skins: Ever wished you could flip the orientation of one of your tiles? All Fragments now have a “Mirror” version. Drop a Fragment on the customization station to change its orientation, and then use it in your Realm or Playground for more variety.
New Structure: Shaman Party Crashers
Bug Fixes and Improvements:

Block Friendly Realm Raids: As suggested in Discord, we have blocked all friendly Realm raids to prevent players scouting realms before doing actual attacks. Playground realms will remain public.
Add Krank, Cyclotaur, and additional weapon kits to Ring of Champions
Fix structures placed above or below ground making crystal crush impossible
Fix weekly challenge data not saving
Fix realm upgrade requirements display
Fix Left handed Krank bow animations

Barbaria 1.5 - Age of the Unknown

The Brawns Age has begun in Barbaria, with character naming, new skill bonuses to unlock at the gym, and more!
New Features:

Training at the Gym: Place a champion or minion on one of the workout stations in Bar-bell-baria to train and get temporary skill point boosts to your attack damage, defensive resistance, or divine juice recharge rate. Training lasts through the end of the age. Everyone can train up to 3 times per age depending on how many of the 3 Gym areas are unlocked.
Character Naming and Stat Tracking: The Tower of Administration allows you to rename any of your champions or minions. Names will appear above their health bars in battle. Named characters will get their kill counts, battles participated, and battles won on both attack and defense recorded for posterity. See character stats by pulling up the info panel above characters, and find the Tower of Administration near the front ledge of the Stronghold.
Brawns Age Reward: At the end of the age, a cosmetic statue will be rewarded based on how many total kills are made by the named minions and champions on your team. Only named champions and minions count towards this total, so get to the Tower of Administration, name some guys, and get to the battle!
Human Shielding: Grab Imps and hold them in front of you to block arrows, rocks, and weapon hits from others.
Pummeling: Held NPCs won't escape for 10s, giving you time to bash and do more damage to them before letting go.

Ages System: The First Age has ended, and the Age of Retribution has begun! Every few months, a new Age will dawn in Barbaria.

Your trophies will be displayed at the entrance of your Realm to show off your previous Mighty deeds to other players. Additionally, there will be a tiered soft reset on Mightiness and Fortitude scores each age, so prepare for lots of new attacks and be ready to prove yourself in the new age.
