New Features: Family Roles and Leader Switching
December 29th, 2015 by Lyle MaeterlinckWe’ve just added a couple of new features to the website that Family leaders will have access to: Family Roles and Leader Switching. Previously, if you wanted to change your family leader, you had to change your family name, unliege the new leader, re-liege the old leader, and then change the name back, and then you would lose changes to your Family profile on the website, and your allies and enemies would also be lost, because they are linked to the Family leader. Now, changing your Family leader is as easy as typing the new person’s name into the change leader form on the website. Family leaders will find that they have a new option on their family profile editor, under the dropdown menu labeled ‘Family Profile’ in the profile editor called “Change Family Leader”. The new leader must be a directly lieged minion of the current leader. If you use this function to change your Family leader, everything for your Family will remain the same on the website, including your profile, allies and enemies, and some new features we’re releasing, including: Family Roles!
Starting today, you can create and manage a set of up to 20 roles for your Family. Family Roles can currently only be set up and assigned by the Family leader. Family leaders will have a new dropdown on their profile editor labeled “Family Roles”. For full instructions on how Family Roles work, please see the guide. In general, it’s up to you to decide what Roles mean to your Family. You can use them as a ranking system, as an award system, or as a custom achievement system, or just use them for fun. For each role you create, you can choose to define a badge icon for that role, either using one of our default badge icons, or you can design and upload your own. We hope you have fun with this new system!
