Death and revival

A hero at zero health falls. A moment later it comes round by a town of its side with half its health. The price of defeat is high:

  • Everything worn and everything in the bag stays behind as a bag where the hero fell. Gold is not lost.
  • The bag lies in the shared world: the hero can come back for it – and so can any other player.
  • 10% of the way to the next level is lost (never below the start of the level).
  • A hero fallen on a map of war or on a land of the other side comes back in the first land of its own side, by its capital.

In the arena a defeat costs nothing.

Leaving the game

  • Leave the right way – through the menu: Exit to main menu or Quit game. If the hero is not fighting, it leaves at once.
  • If the game closed without leaving (Alt+F4, a crash, a lost connection) or you left in the middle of a fight, the hero stays in the world for 5 minutes: it can be seen, struck and killed. Nobody escapes a fight that way.
  • Come back sooner and you get the same hero in the same place, at once.
  • A hero that left alive comes back where it stood, as it was.
