Ruinarch is a simulation sandbox game where you control one of the three evil archetypes - the Puppetmaster, Lich, and Ravager. Your job is to create obstacles and cause conflicts. In other words, you have the infernal tools necessary to toy with people’s lives.
Recently, Update 10 was released that introduces several random events. The patch also presents new challenges, thanks to the addition of the Wiccans and Divine Church factions.
New Factions
The Divine Church is the Divine-worshiping rival of the Demon Cults. This faction is headed by a Priest, the counterpart of the Cult Leader. Furthermore, this group can create Clerics. Each living Cleric on the map can disable one random player’s ability until they are killed.
The other faction, the Wiccans, is headed by the Great Witch. This Nature-worshiping group can produce Witches from ordinary Villagers as well. Each living Witch on the map can increase the Chaotic Energy cost of all the player’s abilities by 5%.
In addition, an uncommon landmark called the Hallowed Grounds is now available. The Demon Cult, Wiccans, and Divine Church can compete for this new spot. It provides a powerful buff that effectively doubles the damage that you deal to members of opposing religious-based factions.
