The Era of Venerated Bastions (Age 72) - finished Age on World of Legends server.

Changes in brief

Mechanics Changes

• Kingdom Rituals
  • Kingdom Rituals (KR) are a new mechanic that serves as a kingdom-wide bonus.
    • The Monarch or Steward will select one of 3 rituals the kingdom will begin (similar to the starting of a dragon)
    • To complete the ritual the Kingdom must cast a new 'ritual spell' 100 times within 48 hours of the ritual being started
    • The ritual spell will have a very expensive rune casting cost; and have a difficulty similar to the most difficult self spell
    • A successful KR will last for 120 hours
    • 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
    • All users will have a KR page; on this page only you will have the KR spell available to help initiate the KR
    • 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
    • For enemies: an active KR will be displayed via Spy on Throne, where you will see which KR is active and current strength
    • 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%
  • Note: The Prosperity KR can be initiated and completed at any time regardless of your stance (relations) however, if it is active and you are NOT in war you will receive no effects from it.

• Other bits and pieces
  • NW Changes - Peasants will now be 0.25 NW, and soldiers will be 0.5 NW and 1/1.
  • SOT change - we are considering adding a 'last seen' line to SOTs that will show most recent activity in addition to displaying information related to any active Kingdom Ritual
  • Scientists - generated on a flat ratio similar to wizards instead of via RNG.
  • Explore pool - remove kingdomwide explorepool and replace it with province level exploration pools.
  • Paradise - will still consume explore pool, will be available only to Mystic or Rogue personality (Not Faery)
  • Gains - Replace Networth Based Gains (NWBG) with a hybrid Land Based Gains (LBG) system that incorporates NW.
  • Networth Protection - Significantly reduced for spells and sabotage operations.
  • Op success rate - Success rates made significantly easier to achieve
  • OOW honor gains - Significantly reduced.
  • WW Chart Chains - 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 warwins) to double the current points.
  • WW Bonus - Additionally, we are adding a new set of WW bonuses. Kingdoms will receive recognition on their kingdompage 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • WAR - Exploration during End Of War Cease-Fire will have reduced cost penalties (from 500% to 250% of normal cost).
  • Explore Penalty - Kingdoms smaller than 10 provinces will see an increased explore penalty.
  • Several New Spells dedicated to the Paladin Personality Only
