Barbaria 1.1 - Age of Retribution Update
New Features:
- Ages System: The First Age has ended, and the Age of Retribution has begun! Every few months, a new Age will dawn in Barbaria. Participants in each age will be rewarded with a statue for their participation, and trophies based on their Mightiness and Fortitude level at the end of the age. 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.
- Revenge Attacks: When a player is attacked, their attacker’s realm becomes available on the map for a Revenge Attack. When a player takes revenge, the player they took revenge on gets a notification with a replay. During the Age of Retribution all Revenge attacks receive a currency bonus.
- New Weapons: Divine Hammer, Axe of Retribution, Marauder’s Shield
- New Fragment: Over Under
- New Structures: Crystal Protector, Breakable Wall, Additional Weapon Racks
New AI Behaviors:
