Important variances from WoL to note:

• Paradise will only take 50% of acres that it generates from your explore pool
• Birth Rates are double
• Wizard generation is double (.04 per guild instead of .02)

• Income per job is 5.25 gc

• Winner and Loser of war will receive Median * 2 amount of specialist credits
• Income per prisoner is 1.5
• Intra-Kingdom attacks will deal significantly more damage (double) and remove a minimum 50 acres
• Ambush will target only the land that was lost, not what the attacker received (due to acre generation)
• MAP (Multi-Attack Protection) awarded for attacks is reduced by 50% from that seen on WoL
• Stealth and Mana recovery is doubled (any race or personality mods will be doubled; for example base is 3% per tick which is now 6%, if a race mod says +2% per tick this will also be doubled meaning 4%, therefore a race which states *+2% per tick will receive 3% base plus 2% = 5% => doubled to 10%)
• Base gains for a Traditional March increased from 12% to 15%
• Elite casualties on attacks reduced by 33%
• Elites will be trained from existing specialists over time at a base rate of 3.5% per tick based on your choice of specialist: OS only, DS only or both. Note: Choosing to convert from OS or DS only will effectively reduce your conversion by half. For example, if you have 1000 OS and 1000 DS and choose to convert from both you will end with 950 OS and 950 DS and 50 elites (5% converted), however, if you chose to convert from OS only you would end with 950 OS, 1000 DS and 25 elites.
• Elite conversion base rate will be reduced from 5% down to 0% on a non-linear scale which starts once your military is at least 30% elites
• Elite losses on Nightstrike, Nightmare, Propaganda and Meteor Showers reduced by 30%

• You have the choice to choose which specialist elites are generated from
• Affluent will increase wizard training by 20%
• Nightmare will put troops into training for 4 ticks, reduced from 8
• Elite values for each race no longer has a net worth value associated with it. Elite networth is based on total offense & defense calculated similary to specialist values, with a reduction for efficiency

• Acres are generated on Traditional Marches (20%)
