What could be bigger, stronger and better than God of Wars or Titans? The new rank of eRepublik is all about the citizens of eRepublik. This means that you can put your name on it!
The first step of the new rank is at 20 billion (Titan*** is 10 billion). The next steps come every 10 billion (30, 40, 50, 60 etc.). The rank will be named based on the first player to reach it in the Citizenship country. As it’s a bit hard to explain, let’s use examples:
In this scenario, the first player with a Finnish Citizenship to reach 20 billion rank points was Trico. After that, every player with a Finnish Citizenship to ever reach 20 billion will have a rank called “Legends of Finland: Trico Battalion I”. The name of the next rank will be given to the first player to reach the milestone of 30 billion. In this scenario, it was a kamysje. When Trico reaches 30 billion rank points, his rank will be “Legends of Finland: kamysje Battalion II”. In the meanwhile, everyone in Finland who have 20-30 billion rank points will remain in the “Legends of Finland: Trico Battalion I” rank.
Going forward, kamysje is the first player in Finland to reach 50 billion rank points. The new rank received at 50 billion will now be called “Legends of Finland: kamysje Battalion IV. The Roman numerals at the end describe the rank level. They’re comparable with the stars on Titan and other previous ranks.
Let’s imagine that Trico changed his Citizenship and now represents Sweden after reaching the rank at 50 billion. No one in Sweden has reached over 20 billion rank points yet. He will NOT retain the first Legends of Sweden ranks to himself, as he didn’t have Swedish Citizenship at the time he reached each of those milestones. If Trico reaches 60 billion while having a Swedish Citizenship, he will gain the rank “Legends of Sweden: Trico Battalion V”. This is possible even if no one has reached the previous ranks (20, 30, 40 and 50 billion). The previous ones will remain unnamed, until someone with Swedish Citizenship surpasses the milestone.
Benefits of the Legends of the New World rank
Apart from the fame and glory, there are concrete benefits of reaching the Legends of the New World ranks! Like all the other ranks, each step gives you a 5% increase to your damage. You will also deal a bonus damage of 10% when fighting for the country you reached the milestones in! This bonus damage is counted from the previous milestones as well, not just the current one. All damage bonuses are applied to everyone who reach the rank, not just the person reaching it first.
On the example given above, Trico would gain the normal 5% damage bonus for every rank he reaches. Apart from that, he would get special damage bonuses for Finland and Sweden, as he had a Finnish or Swedish Citizenship when reaching the new ranks. By the time Trico has 80 billion rank points or more, the damage bonus on Finnish battles would be 50% and for Swedish battles 20%.
As some players have already surpassed the milestones, they were granted the rank automatically. Here’s a list of the current 12 Legends of the New World, and their ranks:
In Greece and Chile, the names of the 2 first ranks have already been settled. However, in Hungary, the first rank is still up for grabs, despite 1224333 controlling the 2nd rank!
Please note that:
- If a Legend changes his Citizenship, the rank remains the same and the player keeps his status in the original country. This includes the damage bonuses.
- If a Citizen reaches a new milestone under a new Citizenship and it hasn’t been reached in that country yet, he will set his name on it. This happens no matter if the country has previous Legends or not.
- If a Citizen changes his name afterwards, the ranks won’t be affected.
- The eRepublik Team reserves the right to change the names of players and the gained ranks, if the name is vulgar or otherwise inappropriate.
