Kingdom Rituals (KR) are a new mechanic introduced in Age 72 that serves as a kingdom-wide bonus. The Monarch or Steward can begin a ritual.

Kingdom Ritual Page

The Kingdom Ritual page will also display various information such as:

• current active KR type and strength
• current mana level and the rune cost to cast on the ritual
• the activation efficiency of the ritual currently being cast

For enemies: an active Kingdom Ritual will be displayed via Spy on Throne, where you will see which KR is active and current strength

Types of Kingdom Rituals

There are nine kinds of Kingdom Rituals:

Retired Rituals

Completing A Ritual

To complete the ritual, the Kingdom must successfully cast the ritual spell a minimum of 3 times the number of Provinces in the Kingdom (minimum 15 provinces for this calculation) within 48 hours of the ritual being started.

A Ritual can be overcasted, for increased effects.

Ritual Effectiveness = 1 + (2*SQRT( X - MAX(45,KD_provs*3) )) /100

where X = number of ritual casts, when X ≥ 3 times the number of Provinces in the Kingdom

A ritual's strength diminishes by .25% per tick.

The ritual spell has a difficulty similar to the most difficult self-spell, a very expensive rune cost (Cost Multiplier 6) and costs 2% Mana per cast.
A successful ritual will last for a minimum of 48 (if destroyed by Abolish Ritual) and a maximum of 120 hours. While only one ritual can be active, another one can be started before the active ritual ends, very similar to Dragons. Once the ritual is completed, the previous ritual will be replaced.

Destroying A Ritual

Rituals are destroyable via the Abolish Ritual spell. This spell reduces the strength of the Ritual by a flat rate of 2%. Abolish Ritual can only be cast on a single province a maximum of 10 times — in order to destroy a Ritual from 100% to 0%, you would need to cast the spell 10 times on 5 different provinces.

Once a Ritual reaches 0% strength it will be removed, unless it has not reached it's minimum duration of 48 hours, at which point it will remain until the 48th tick and be removed at that time.

Stances (Retired)

As of Age 74, stances have been removed from the game and have been replaced by Rituals. This information, though outdated, will be retained for historical purposes here: Stances.
