Networth Protection: Significantly reduced for spells and sabotage operations.
Op success rate: Success rates made significantly easier to achieve
Wars and wins: Significantly reduced.
Wars and wins: In order to incentivize conflict between top WW kingdoms, we have altered the formula to provide additional WW points (scaling from the current if the kingdom you war is outside of the top 50 for land, honor, NW, and war wins) to double the current points.
Wars and wins: Additionally, we are adding a new set of WW bonuses. Kingdoms will receive recognition on their kingdom page based on the number of WW points they achieve. Each additional 'tier' that they obtain will also increase their WW bonus -- land, honor, credits, etc -- by 10%. This is capped at a WW bonus that is 50% larger than the baseline bonus.
Wars and wins: Finally the WW bonus will scale with kingdom size under 20 provinces to reduce the potential for abuse with kingdoms that remain intentionally small in the number of provinces.
Wars and wins: The War Win bonus will also include a provision of additional land to every province's individual explore pool in both kingdoms, this is mainly aimed at helping provinces that are destroyed in war to have a chance to grow back to a functional size.

Kingdom Rituals: A successful KR will last for 120 hours
Kingdom Rituals: Only one KR can be active, another KR can be started before the active KR ends, very similar to Dragons. Once the KR is completed, the previous KR will be replaced
Kingdom Rituals: All users will have a KR page; on this page only you will have the KR spell available to help initiate the KR
Kingdom Rituals: The KR page will also display various information such as: current KR status (type and strength), whether a new ritual is being cast, how many more successful casts are necessary
Kingdom Rituals: For enemies: an active KR will be displayed via Spy on Throne, where you will see which KR is active and current strength
Kingdom Rituals: There are three kinds of KRs, we do not yet have names for them, and the numbers are likely to change drastically:
- 1) Barrier - Increases defensive TPA and WPA by 25%; reduces gains via attacks against the kingdom by 10% (similar to Guard Stations); +10% DME
- 2) Affluent (WAR ONLY) - Increases income by 25%, Birth Rate by 20%, and draft speed by 25%
- 3) Onslaught - Increases OME by 10% and enemy casualties on your offensive attacks by 15%

Spells: Magic Ward (Unf Only) (Paladin Only) - Increase target's spell cost in runes by 25% for duration (moderate difficulty)

Wars and wins: Immediately upon entering End of War Cease-Fire any provinces affected by plague will have it removed instantly.
Wars and wins: Upon entering End of War Cease-Fire, the losing kingdom will receive 50% of their land as free building credits, while the winning kingdom will receive 150% of their land as free building credits. We would like to stimulate the ability for both kingdoms to recover from war such that both the losing kingdom has a better chance at coming out of war recovered and ready to fight again and more importantly, the winning kingdom has an opportunity to defend their land better upon exiting war.
Bugs: We have fixed a few discrepencies we found in the code that had not been brought to the attention of previous owners. The term bug may not be accurate in that the code was not 'wrong' except that the game was not working as documented. Such fixes include:

Protection will be changed to last for 24 hours and provinces starting resources will be modified to take this into account. Provinces will begin with 400 acres of which 200 will be built (10% farms, 25% banks, 10% guilds and 5% towers) 200 building credits and an army that is 50% drafted with credits to train the soldiers. The personality resources below are additional to this.

Provinces over the median will not be able to explore more than 50% of their acres at a time.

Personalities will grant bonus resources. For example: Mystics will get +200 wizards, Sages start with +40000 books of science, War Hero has +200 elites. (edit: added all starting resources above)

Draft will unlock after 3 days rather than 7

Age 59

Explore formula: We've moved away from an exponential formula to something that is curved more gently. Increases and reductions to cost based on a provinces size relative to the kingdom are still in effect.

Honor: The formulas have been changed significantly both in war and out of war and on ops and attacks. Honor gains and losses should be a less spikey and honor gains out of war are increased.

   [* ]Population mod on honor is reduced to 1%
   Attacking honor gains/losses in war have been reduced
   Attacking honor gains/losses out of war have been increased for normal relations with a further increase for hostile relations

   Op and spell honor gains/losses out of war have been increased for normal relations with a further increase for hostile relations
   The honor gains curve has been significantly changed to address top/bottom feeding issues

Sitting: The minimum is changed from 3 days to 1 day.

War Win Chart: New formula in effect that considers your opponents war wins.

Hostile meter: Reduced to from 200 points to 150.

Age 58

Intel Store: We will add a Intel repository for players to store basic information on a province, such as defense and active ops on them with duration remaining. Intel will disappear after 24 hours unless its updated. You can see this information in a tab on the kingdom page of your enemy.

Province target finder: We will incorporate a province filter. Players can select all or particular races to view and the game will automatically display the 10 closest provinces both larger and smaller than your province. The data is collected from the games charts, which will now update every 2 hours. You can see this information in a tab on your war room. The target finder will not be online until all islands are visible.

Age 57

The explore formula base cost is increased, with modifications on cost for provinces above and below the median. War (including End of War Ceasefires period) and Fortified stance will have a cost multiplier of 5.

In War the minimum gains will be reduced by 50%

Attack times in the War Room will be displayed in a more understandable format and with greater accuracy

Players will be able to choose to extend or reduce their attack times to allow greater schedule flexibility. Additional hours will result in greater gains while minus hours will result in less gains and less enemy kills. The modified gains etc will be derived from the modification in attack time and will also be displayed. You can see a pic of the war room here

Age 56

The explore formula now additionally relates to the size of provinces in a kingdom
Paradise will remove acres from the explore pool, which will now grow 5 times faster (i.e 100 acres an hour) and also decay .5% an hour. This decay will not occur during war or end of war ceasefire.
Winning a war and selecting land as a reward will grant a minimum of 5k acres to the kingdom.

Monarchs can set a fellow kingdom mate as their Steward (replaces Chamberlain). The Steward can conduct diplomacy such as extend/accept ceasefires, declare war and update the throne room messaging for the kingdom as well as the old Chamberlain options.
The Anonymity spell has been modified. This spell will result in minus attack gains rather than additional attack time. Apart from this the spell works as before.
Honor phase-in at age start has had the amount per tick doubled and the overall time halved.

Age 55

Specialists now defend and attack at 4 points respectively.
The explore formula is revised. It is now significantly cheaper to explore at smaller sizes compared to both previous ages.
The reduced gains protection afforded to smaller kingdom when attacked by larger kingdoms will be removed when the smaller kingdom reaches 50 points on the meter.
Towards a similar end, when both kingdom reach max hostility the option to declare will appear regardless of the kingdoms networth.
Winning a war will not grant any honor taken from your opponents honor pool. Monarchs will instead be able to set a kingdom reward for winning wars, this reward will be honor or land and will be a combination based on both kingdoms relevant resources.
Intra kingdom hits will remove some honor from the attacked province.
Attacks in war will not take extra acres from the exploration pool.

Plunder, Learn, Massacre and Raze are now worth 2 points on the meter
The war declaration range for kingdoms will be changed to 25% smaller or 33% larger
