Dear Heroes !

To improve our online multiplayer community, we implemented a new leaderboard system into our discord server (you can join from here) that allows all of our members to play 'ranked games'. This works similar as the ELO system used internationally for Chess. If you play a ranked game for the first time you will be added to the leaderboard with an ELO rating of 1500 and as your rating goes up or down you can see how well you play compared to other H55 players.

All Discord members with @Chieftains role have permission to record their games on the #leaderboards . You can become a Chieftain very easily by clicking on an emoji in #become-player channel. Chieftains can ping other chieftains to arrange both ranked or just casual unranked games. If you don't want to be a Chieftain you can also ask @Runemages in the #game-search channel to record your games.

Currently we have 4 leaderboards you can compete on:

1. ARMG - for all games taking place on a newly generated ARMG map (not H55-Duel template and not an ARMG demo map included with H55)
2. CUSTOM - for all games taking place on human-made maps (mostly symmetrical ones), this includes all multiplayer maps from vanilla or from the compatible maps database
3. DUEL - for all games taking place on H55-Duel template (using the demo versions is allowed), possibly in the future 3rd party duel maps made compatible with H55 are also valid for this category.
4. CHESS - for all games played in H55 'Chess mode', duel mode with predefined armies and skills.

For a full instruction on how to play and record ranked games read the full guide in #become-player, a desync prevention guide is also listed there since this is the most common problem in multiplayer games.
