An unofficial game tracking and ranking ROOT Digital League

Nov. 20, 2025, 7:24 p.m. Hirelings & Landmarks Survey Results

Greetings Woodland Warriors!


Thanks to everyone that participated in our second survey of the year, and gave us some valuable data on how folks feel about the future of the league. We had 66 responses here, which is larger than our past survey (54)! We'll be sharing a more detailed findings in this discord thread, but for the TL:DR of what we will be changing in 2026:

  • Landmarks: The host of the game will be able to choose to add in landmarks to their games in 2026, as well as choose the number of landmarks in their games. 82% of the community selected this option in our survey
  • Hirelings: The host of the game will be able to choose to add in hirelings to their games in 2026. 74% of the community selected this option of our survey, indicating another majority opinion here!
  • Lower Player Counts: The survey results are split here, with 54% of players only wanting 4-player games in question 12. At this time, we will not be adding 3-player games to the league for the next season, but we may revisit this later in the year. We welcome the community running their own tournaments and games to explore this format though in the mean time.

Our team is aware that the discourse around these topics ran a bit hot over the last few weeks, but I appreciate everyone’s input here to help us arrive at this conclusion. I do need to ask that people avoid using these recent results to target any specific community members for their past or current opinions in a negative way. If community members are observed doing so, they will be timed out from the server for a period of time.

With all that said, we look forward to 2026, and for another year of the League!
