Mechanics Changes

• Dragons
  • Ruby Dragon slightly more expensive, a lot more health
  • Sapphire Dragon a lot cheaper, health reduced significantly
  • Gold Dragon cost unchanged, health slightly reduced
  • Emerald Dragon a lot more expensive, health increased significantly
• Networth
  • Building networth will be modified to move the balance of networth onto the acre itself, rather than the building.
  • Soldier networth will be reduced.
• New spell: Blizzard
  • Reduces the building effectiveness of a province by 10%, does not stack, medium cost and difficulty, short duration.
• Attack speed
  • Reduction in war buffed from -20% to -25%.
• Forums+ wiki
  • Upgrading to a better server and migrating the forums and wiki to it. May be some forum downtime while we do this over the weekend.
• Fortified
  • 72 hours max, 96 hour cooldown.
• Science

Books of science and learning have been removed. You can no longer invest in science to create books, nor allocate them to different sciences. As a consequence, books no longer contribute to net worth, and book are no longer given as part of end of war bonuses.

• • Instead of books, each province starts out with about 18 scientists, each of whom are are assigned to a random category of science, but which you can reassign at will. Every province has a chance of having a new scientists emerge on each game day, such that an average province will have about 80 - 120 by the end of the age, depending on mods. You will get a message in your province news whenever a new scientist emerges. Scientists do not take up population space.
  • Each scientist makes an impact on the the science they are assigned to, such as + population or + food. The impact that each scientist makes mainly depends on their level: novice make a small impact, graduates make a larger impact and professors make double the impact of novices. The total impact of scientists is capped, depending on the science category. You would need about 120 professors to cap out every kind of science.
  • Scientists skill up the longer you leave them assigned to the same science category, and drop back down to novice whenever you reassign them. It takes 72 game days (3 real days) to level up to graduate, and 168 game days (one real week) to reach professor. The number of game days required for each scientist to reach the next level is displayed on the science page.
  • Scientists also make a contribution to net worth based on their skill level. Every game day of experience that your scientists have is valued at 2.6gc, meaning that 100 professors would contribute about 44K gc.
  • Learns attacks are now replaced with Abduct attacks, which capture a number of random Scientists from your opponent. These scientists are captured intact with their experience, allocated science and name.
  • The Amnesia spell has also been updated to make your opponent’s scientists lose a number of game days worth of experience. For some this will delay them reaching the next level, while it will effectively demote some others to the previous level.
  • Fountain of Knowledge previously increased book production for a while. This spell is now gone, and is replaced by the Revelate spell. The revelate spell increases the probability of a new scientist emerging on each affected game day by 30% while it is cast.
  • The Spy on Science op has been updated, and will steal a report on the total number of scientists assigned to each science type, along with their total effect (but you cannot steal specifics like how many professors there are).
  • Libraries, used to create a bonus towards every science effect, including the science of tools, which in turn created a bonus on each land type except libraries, since that would mean that libraries and tools would have a circular effect on each other. Libraries are now gone, along with the circular effect of libraries on other types of buildings. Knowledge of tools, which helps building efficiency, is governed solely by how many scientists you have allocated to it.
  • A new building type, Laboratories, now helps generate more Scientists, increasing the probability that a new scientist will emerge on any given game day.
  • Schools used to provide a home for books, having a dual effect of reducing the cost of producing books and protecting books from learn attacks. Schools are now gone. In their place are Universities, which provide refuge for Scientists from Abduction attacks.
  • In short, laboratories help create scientists, while universities keep them safe from abduction and amnesia.
  • The Sage personality previously had special advantages with books. Sages are still somewhat protected from learn attacks and enjoy sole access to the amnesia spell, but instead of their land spontaneously generating books, their scientists are 30% smarter. Instead of their books being protected from Learn attacks, their scientists have 50% reduced losses on Adbuct attacks. Also, instead of starting with more books, they start with 10% extra scientists.
  • The Fortified stance previously had the effect of capping the research rate on books. This has now been changed. While in fortified, all scientific progress stops, as you have cut yourself off from the world. During fortified no new scientists will emerge, and your existing scientists will not progress in skill level.
