*Base Military values and Networth changes

**All Specialists are now Base 7 points, networth values remain the same (0.8 per offense point, 1 per defense point)
 +
**Thieves and wizards are now 7 NW
 +
**Elite net worth values no longer have a fixed value. Elite networth will be calculated using this formula:

**If (elite offensive strength * 0.8 == elite defensive strength) then Elite NetWorth = ((elite offensive strength * 0.8) / 3) + def strength
 +
**Otherwise: [The Larger #: (elite offensive strength * 0.8) OR (elite defensive strength)] + [The Smaller #: (elite offensive strength * 0.8) OR (def strength) / 3
 +
**For example: Elite Value of 13/10 => elite offensive strength * .8 = 10.4, therefore 10.4 + (10/3) = 13.74
 +
**For example: Elite Value of 9/11=> elite offensive strength * .8 = 7.2, therefore 7.2/3 + 11 = 13.4

 +
***This damage will occur at the same time a dragon destroys buildings
 +
***This damage will reduce your effectiveness similar to what 2 successful casts of amnesia would lower your science effectiveness (this is not an actual cast of amnesia, Amnesia Immunity will not prevent this)

 +
* An aggressor Kingdom can enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with a defending Kingdom if the aggressor has not made military attacks for at least 24 ticks
 +
* To remove confusion, the definition of aggressor Kingdom shall mean the Kingdom with higher hostility meter points
 +
* A defending Kingdom may enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with an aggressor Kingdom if:
 +
*a) Defender has not made any military attacks for at least 3 ticks, AND;

*b) Defender relations toward Aggressor are not Hostile
 +
*c) Aggressor is Hostile with Defender

 +
* If both Kingdoms are Hostile, either Kingdom may declare War (normal Unfriendly v Hostile declares are available)
 +
* War Win rewards will only be provided if Kingdoms are in range at declare (range moved to 80% - 125%)
 +
* If Kingdoms enter war while out of range, Surrender will be available much sooner than traditionally (i.e. 16 hours after start of war, these wars will have adjusted EoWCF length based on the amount of hours of war i.e. for each tick of war there will be 2 ticks of EoWCF)
 +
* MAP change in war will be adjusted to roughly be in the middle of where it was in Age 77 and Age 78

 +
* Explore costs during End of War Cease-Fire will be the same as during war for provinces Median and larger (including incoming explored acres) (500%)
 +
* Provinces below Median (including incoming explored acres) will have reduced explore costs during End of War Cease-Fire (250%)
 +
 +
'''Attacks'''

* Intra-Island attacks will no longer have reduced attack times
 +
* Base attack time will be reduced by 10%
 +
 +
*'''Attack Gains Formula''' - Land component of gains formula will be removed and revert to a Networth based gains formula only
 +
 +
'''Dragons'''
 +
* Dragons will not be allowed to be started or sent during an unbreakable Cease-Fire (End of War Cease-Fire included)
 +
* Dragons that have already begun will be automatically canceled upon entering an unbreakable Cease-Fire (End of War Cease-Fire included)
 +
 +
*Conquest - Meter will work more consistently with attack mechanics
 +
*Multi-Attack Protection (MAP) - Will no longer increase from failed attacks
 +
*Scientists - Scientists required for soft cap will be the same number for all categories at 35
 +
*Support Spells - Support spells will no longer have the possibility of exploding wizards
 +
*War Win Points - Bonus war win points will be scaled in through Yr1. Currently points are calculated normally through Yr0 and bonus points are awarded beginning in Yr1,instead we will scale this transition evenly through Yr1 with full points being awarded beginning in Yr2. So for clarity, Yr 0 will have no bonus points awared and Yr 1 will scale bonus points in each Utopian Month.
 +
*Cease-Fire - During ANY Cease-Fire espionage operations will be allowed (including End of War Cease-Fire) on the Kingdom you are in Cease-Fire with
 +
*Self News - There will be a new section added that will show ALL of your own actions in game. For example, training of units, constructing acres, performing operations (with results including attacks) so that you will have your own log of your own actions.
 +
*Abolish Ritual - There will be more transparency on the amount of successful casts already performed on any particular target and also the amount of successful casts on the target Kingdom.
 +
 +
'''Miscellaneous'''

 +
* Various issues with Espionage page will be fixed (random things when provinces die or defect and reflected spells showing incorrectly)
 +
* Allow sending of Cease-Fires while you are in End of War Cease-Fire

'''Buildings'''
 +
* Watchtower rate at which protection is granted will be increased slightly. Maximum effect will remain the same.
 +
* University science protection rate will be increased slightly
 +
* Dungeons will be adjusted to hold more Prisoners and Prisoners will generate slightly more gc and increase the rate at which dungeons fill from battle (2/3 fill 1/3 deaths compared to the current 50/50 fill/deaths)
 +
* Guardstations will now ONLY protect land (no longer protect scientists on abduct and resources on plunders)
 +

'''Scientists'''
 +
* Scientist Max networth will be adjusted
 +
 +
'''Rituals'''
 +
* Ritual Strength (will be renamed to Effectiveness for purposes of clarity) is active and affecting the bonuses received from the Ritual
 +
* Ritual will no longer 'require' 80 casts to complete (although 80 will provide the full strength of bonuses listed)
 +
* Once the Ritual is started it can be 'completed' at any time after 40 successful casts by the Monarch pressing a new button to Activate the Ritual immediately based on the number of successful casts at that time
 +
* The Monarch or Steward can see the effectiveness of the ritual as it is being cast
 +
* Ritual will automatically cast on the expiration of 48 hours and effects will be based on the number of successful casts at that time
 +
* Ritual strength(effectiveness) will scale based on the amount of casts: 40-80 casts is a linear growth from 40% to 100% effectiveness (accurate); over 80 casts will have diminishing returns.
 +
* Abolish Ritual will remain in its current state (50 casts overall required to destory enemy ritual)
 +
* Ritual Casts will be displayed on the Throne so that you know how 'strong' the base effect of the Ritual is
 +
 +
'''Spells'''
 +
* Some Paladin Only spell durations adjusted slightly higher
 +
* All Instant Sorcery Spells will have damage reduced by 5%
 +
 +
'''Merging of Kingdoms'''
 +
* Kingdoms will merge weekly starting after Yr 1. Eligible Kingdoms to merge will be in the lowest 1/3 of the server and will merge similarly as is performed during the end of age reset such that Kingdoms with very few provinces will have a chance to play with other active players in a normal size Kingdom. Kingdoms that will be merged will be handled on a case by case basis and contacted directly via Game Administration. Kingdoms will have the option not to merge if they so choose as we test the effectiveness of this feature. We encourage Kingdoms who would like to merge to contact DavidC in Kingdom 1:1 via Private Message or UtopiaSupport
 +
 +
*Relative Kingdom Networth - Currently this is a part of the gains formula and is based entirely on the overall size of your Kingdom vs the Opponent Kingdom. This will change to be based on the average province size of your Kingdom to be a more accurate representation of the Kingdom strength
 +
*War Win Bonus - The minimum war win acres bonus will be reduced to 4000 acres (from 5000)
 +
*War Range - War Ranges will be determined by either land or networth, for example you will be IN war range if either land or Networth is within range of your target
 +
*Thief/Mage Operations - A slight reduction in damage will be made on the effectiveness of operations performed the farther out of range a province is (this will be affected in both directions, small vs large and large vs small)
 +
*Massacre - The damage of massacre will be reduced by roughly 10%
 +
*Conquest - Gains from Conquest attacks will be increased. The amount of offense required to break your opponent will remain the same but yield a higher gain
 +
*Assassinate Wizards - The damage of Assassinate Wizards will be reduced by roughly 10%
 +
*Aiding Explorable Acres - The amount of acres lost when aiding will be reduced from 75% to 50%
 +
 +
'''Force Cease-Fire'''
 +
* There will be an option for an aggressor Kingdom in a conflict to force both parties into a binding 7 Utopian Month cease-fire period. We are still working on the best method by which to implement the functionality on this, but the currently designed way for it to work has several components to it:
 +
* The aggressor Kingdom (the KD looking to Force Cease-Fire) will need to have 100 or more meter disparity on the 1st of each Utopian Month for 3 consecutive Months
 +
* The 'Force Cease-Fire' button for the aggressor Kingdom will be available beginning on the 12th of the 3rd Month
 +
* The defending Kingdom will be able to stop the forced cease-fire in several ways: a) Reduce the meter disparity between Kingdoms to under 100; or b) make at least 5 successful attacks during the Month of which the aggressor is capable of forcing the cease-fire (example: if you are the defending Kingdom and don't want the aggressor to receive the button at all, you must make 5 successful attacks between the 1st and 12th otherwise the aggressor will have the force cease-fire button until 5 attacks are successfully completed)
 +
* If the defending Kingdom prevents a button on the 3rd consecutive day of 100+ meter by making 5 attacks, the defending Kingdom will have the same task of prevention on the following day: either reduce the disparity to less than 100 or make 5 attacks on the 1st - 12th
 +
* The only way to reset the 3 day counter is to reduce the meter disparity below 100, at that point the aggressor must satisfy the first requirement which is 3 consecutive days of 100 or more meter disparity
 +
* There is no wait period for the aggressor to press the button, once it becomes available on the 12th it can be pressed at any time
 +
* More clarity on how this will work to come...please provide feedback/thoughts on this in the suggestions thread.
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
'''Miscellaneous'''
 +
*Dragons - The Dragon page will be available at all times (instead of only when you are funding or have a dragon) and will display the stats of each dragon similar to the way the Ritual Status page works now for Rituals.
 +
*Spells Attempted/Successful - We will add more stats to the History page that will detail the attempts/success for self spells & sorcery

 +
*Night Strike - Damage dealt by night strike will be reduced by approximately 20%.
 +
*Inspire Army/Paladin's Inspiration - Both of these spells are capable of being cast on a Province, however, while PI is cast it's effects will prevail until it wears off. Therefore, the bonuses from each of these spells will not stack, only 1 will be applied if both are present.
 +
*Abduct Military Casualties - Defensive military casualties on abducts has been reduced by 50%
 +
*Multi-Attack Protection (MAP) - The rate at which this metric increases for abducts has been adjusted to be a more adequate representation of the resources lost. Additionally, this metric has been revised slightly in other areas to be a better representation of damage that occurs in an attack.
 +
*Meter Throttling - Adjusted to reduce operation damage against Kingdoms that have gains throttled on you. Also there will be a reduction to throttling that occurs within declare range.
 +
*Ceasefires - There is a new feature with Cease-Fires that allows you to choose a date until which the Cease-Fire cannot be broken. The farthest date in the future that can be chosen is 3 Utopian Years.
 +
 +
'''Buildings'''
 +
* Watchtower rate at which protection is granted has been reduced. Maximum effect will remain the same.
 +
* Allow Cancel of buildings under construction (no gc refunded)
 +

*War Proposals - Limit of 3 proposals that can be oustanding at any given time
 +
*EoWCF Duration - Increased to 96 hours from 72 hours.
 +
*'''Stances - Removed'''
 +
*War Win Points - Point calculations will no longer be boosted based on rankings during YR 0.
 +
*IP Restrictions - We have overhauled the anti-cheat system. IP restrictions have been modified to rely more on heuristic methods than automated prevention. The effectiveness of these efforts will be carefully and extensively monitored and adjusted accordingly.
 +
*Dragons - All Dragon costs reduced by 25%. Additionally, you will now have the ability to name your dragon! Is yours Sophia? That's Dave's!
 +
 +
'''Scientists'''
 +
* You can now choose which category your next scientist will spawn into (random is also an option)
 +
* Scientist Experience will now show on your Science page and in the Spy on Sciences. This will allow for calculation of scientist networth to ultimately provide a method for determining wizard population. We feel that Wizards should have some mystery and require a bit of knowledge and pursuit to discover rather than have accurate information handed out in a single successful operation.
 +
 +
'''Rituals'''
 +
* Reduced to 80 casts
 +
* Mana cost will actually be 2% instead of 3% (this was left out of Age 73 code but is now in place for Age 74)
 +
 +
*Support Spell History - There will be a new area in the History section of your province that records your casts and successful casts of spells on Kingdom mates
 +
*Self Kingdom Espionage - There will be an Espionage Page added that will show your own Kingdom's Support Spells. This page will only show Support spells that have been cast by others, it will not show spells you've cast on yourself.
 +
 +
'''Train/Build Credits'''
 +
* Can use building credits to raze acres will be a standard ability
 +
* There will be an option on all pages to provide use of building credits that will allow the option to NOT use your credits for your current purchase. For example: You would like to train 1000 specialists and have 500 specialist credits but you would prefer not to use your credits, there will be a checkbox that will designate the option to NOT use the credits.
 +
* Immediately upon exit of End of War Cease-Fire all Credits will decay by 1/3 instantly
 +
* Building Credits will decay at a rate of 20% per Month if Credits > Land * 15%
 +
* Training Credits will now decay at a rate of 20% per Month
 +
 +
'''Spells'''
 +
* Some Paladin Only spell durations tweaked slightly higher
 +
* Nature's Blessing - The chance to cure plague will be increased to 1/3 up from 1/5

'''Mechanics'''
 +

*Mana Costs - Flat cost - 3% self spell, 3% offensive spell (2% with relations) & 2% flat rate for all Paladin self spells on others & Ritual Spell casts will also be a flat cost of 2%
 +
*Stealth Costs - Flat cost - 3% stealth (2% with relations), 2% intel (1% SoT)
 +
*Paladin Spells - Increase all Paladin only spell durations
 +
*Paladin Self Spells - The formula used to calculate success rate will be adjusted to make casting self spells on your allies easier. A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require Paladins to have WPA but the new formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their Paladins. In other words, a significant increase in the success rate of Paladin spells, although you still need WPA it won't be as significant a part of the formula as previously.
 +
 +
*Fortified Stance Removed - A new stance called "Prosperous" will replace it. Prosperous stance will be almost identical to Fortified. The main difference will be: Attacks into Prosperous will have no gains penalty; Attacks while your Kingdom is Prosperous will have reduced gains of -20% (instead of -50%) and scientists will gain experience during Prosperous.
 +
 +
*Gains Throttling will be significantly more effective - Once the meter variance between Kingdoms is 50 points, each point over 50 will reduce gains by 1% up to a maximum of 75% at a variance of 125 meter points. Max meter will remain at 150
 +
*Auto-CeaseFire (Surrender) - Once a meter variance of 100 points occurs between 2 Kingdoms, the Kingdom with lower meter points will have the option to Surrender to the aggressor Kingdom. This will create an in-game CeaseFire between both kingdoms that cannot be cancelled by either side for a minimum of 7 days. The surrendering Kingdom will be required to not have any attacks for at least 12 hours similar to the restriction on Withdraw during War. You must also be OUT of war declaration range in order to have this button available to you.
 +
*War Gains Formula - The top-feed minimum gains is being reduced slightly to accommodate the LBG top-feed bonuses from Age 72 (note this is only for Top Feed gains, all other gains remain the same)
 +
 +
*Rituals Length - Rituals will have a minimum length of 48 hours (120 max remains)
 +
*Ritual Life - Rituals will now be destroyable. There will be a new spell used specifically for Ritual destruction. The spell will be in the upper tier of difficulty and will reduce strength of the Ritual by a flat rate of 2%. A Ritual destruction spell can only be cast on a single province a maximum of 10 times such that in order to destroy a Ritual from 100% to 0% you would need to cast the spell 10x 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.
 +
 +
*Elite Longevity - Elite losses via NightStrike will be closer to losses of Specialists seen now. Elites that go into retraining from Nightmare will also increase closer to that of specialists. Propaganda has also seen an increase to elite damage closer to that of Specialists. Military Casualties will be unchanged.
 +
 +
*Universities - Effects from Universities will be reduced to a maximum reduction of 50%, and the rate of effect will begin at 2.5%
 +
Aid Explorable Acres - Explorable acres will now have the option to be sent to other members of your Kingdom. 75% of the acres transferred will be destroyed. Acres will not be available for transfer during protection. Acres will have a Trade Balance cost of 500 gc each.

*Science Caps - Science will no longer have a hard maximum for all categories. The purpose of this is to allow players more freedom to make your province unique and provide further bonuses to the areas you choose. Science will scale in a linear fashion similar to Age 72 up to the previously stated maximums as normal. Once this point is reached additional scientists will yield diminishing returns.

  • Learn attack effects while in war will be increased from 4% to 8%
  • Out of range wars will yield war points based on relative size at the war start and scale accordingly, for example:

Example: 84.9% range = 100% points

  • 80% range = 85% points
  • 75% range = 65% points
  • 65% range = 20% points
  • < 65% range = 0 points

Force Cease-Fire

  • If you are in war range (85-117.64%) when activating a Forced Cease-Fire your Kingdom will lose up to 3% honor at 95%+ and scale linearly to 1.5% at the bottom of the range (85%)
  • This honor will be lost by the Kingdom pressing Force CF, it will not be transferred to the opponent Kingdom

Spells

  • Ghost Workers will reduce the amount of jobs needed to be filled for maximum Building Efficiency by 15%
  • There is a new category referred to as Support
  • Support Spells are the only spells that can be cast on Kingdom Mates (if your race/personality has the ability)
  • Having the ability to cast Support Spells on Kingdom Mates does NOT grant access to ALL of these spells

Miscellaneous

  • Current Training time duration will be displayed on the Military page
  • Current Kingdom Ritual efficiency will be displayed for all users throughout casting period instead of just Monarch/Stewards
  • Adding Slot # to various drop down menus when selecting provinces in a Kingdom

  • An aggressor Kingdom can enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with a defending Kingdom if the aggressor has not made military attacks for at least 24 ticks
  • To remove confusion, the definition of aggressor Kingdom shall mean the Kingdom with higher hostility meter points
  • A defending Kingdom may enter into a 72 hour unbreakable Cease-Fire with an aggressor Kingdom if:
  • a) Defender has not made any military attacks for at least 3 ticks, AND;
  • b) Defender relations toward Aggressor are not Hostile
  • c) Aggressor is Hostile with Defender
  • d) Aggressor has been Hostile with defender for at least 3 ticks.
  • If both Kingdoms are Hostile, either Kingdom may declare War (normal Unfriendly v Hostile declares are available)
  • War Win rewards will only be provided if Kingdoms are in range at declare (range moved to 80% - 125%)
  • If Kingdoms enter war while out of range, Surrender will be available much sooner than traditionally (i.e. 16 hours after start of war, these wars will have adjusted EoWCF length based on the amount of hours of war i.e. for each tick of war there will be 2 ticks of EoWCF)
  • MAP change in war will be adjusted to roughly be in the middle of where it was in Age 77 and Age 78
  • Bounces will affect the meter based on offense vs defense sent (i.e. a failed attack with greater than 75% offense sent would move the meter equivalent to 50% of a successful Traditional March)

End of War Cease-Fire

  • Explore costs during End of War Cease-Fire will be the same as during war for provinces Median and larger (including incoming explored acres) (500%)
  • Provinces below Median (including incoming explored acres) will have reduced explore costs during End of War Cease-Fire (250%)

Attacks

  • Intra-Island attacks will no longer have reduced attack times
  • Base attack time will be reduced by 10%
  • Attack Gains Formula - Land component of gains formula will be removed and revert to a Networth based gains formula only

Dragons

  • Dragons will not be allowed to be started or sent during an unbreakable Cease-Fire (End of War Cease-Fire included)
  • Dragons that have already begun will be automatically canceled upon entering an unbreakable Cease-Fire (End of War Cease-Fire included)
  • Conquest - Meter will work more consistently with attack mechanics
  • Multi-Attack Protection (MAP) - Will no longer increase from failed attacks
  • Scientists - Scientists required for soft cap will be the same number for all categories at 35
  • Support Spells - Support spells will no longer have the possibility of exploding wizards
  • War Win Points - Bonus war win points will be scaled in through Yr1. Currently points are calculated normally through Yr0 and bonus points are awarded beginning in Yr1,instead we will scale this transition evenly through Yr1 with full points being awarded beginning in Yr2. So for clarity, Yr 0 will have no bonus points awared and Yr 1 will scale bonus points in each Utopian Month.
  • Cease-Fire - During ANY Cease-Fire espionage operations will be allowed (including End of War Cease-Fire) on the Kingdom you are in Cease-Fire with
  • Self News - There will be a new section added that will show ALL of your own actions in game. For example, training of units, constructing acres, performing operations (with results including attacks) so that you will have your own log of your own actions.

  • Stewards - Monarch will be allowed to elect 2 Stewards instead of 1
  • Networth - Wizard and Thief Networth will be increased from 4 to 5

Bug Fixes

  • Rituals were not allowed to have the 'Complete Ritual' button pressed unless you had sufficient mana/runes. This will be fixed.
  • Various issues with Espionage page will be fixed (random things when provinces die or defect and reflected spells showing incorrectly)
  • Allow sending of Cease-Fires while you are in End of War Cease-Fire

Age 75

Age 75

Mechanics

  • Abduct - Gains reduced
  • Meter Throttling - Adjusted to be based more accurately on the enemy size relation to you (not based purely on networth)

Buildings

  • Watchtower rate at which protection is granted will be increased slightly. Maximum effect will remain the same.
  • University science protection rate will be increased slightly
  • Dungeons will be adjusted to hold more Prisoners and Prisoners will generate slightly more gc and increase the rate at which dungeons fill from battle (2/3 fill 1/3 deaths compared to the current 50/50 fill/deaths)
  • Guardstations will now ONLY protect land (no longer protect scientists on abduct and resources on plunders)

Scientists

  • Scientist Max networth will be adjusted

Rituals

  • Ritual Strength (will be renamed to Effectiveness for purposes of clarity) is active and affecting the bonuses received from the Ritual
  • Ritual will no longer 'require' 80 casts to complete (although 80 will provide the full strength of bonuses listed)
  • Once the Ritual is started it can be 'completed' at any time after 40 successful casts by the Monarch pressing a new button to Activate the Ritual immediately based on the number of successful casts at that time
  • The Monarch or Steward can see the effectiveness of the ritual as it is being cast
  • Ritual will automatically cast on the expiration of 48 hours and effects will be based on the number of successful casts at that time
  • Ritual strength(effectiveness) will scale based on the amount of casts: 40-80 casts is a linear growth from 40% to 100% effectiveness (accurate); over 80 casts will have diminishing returns.
  • Abolish Ritual will remain in its current state (50 casts overall required to destory enemy ritual)
  • Ritual Casts will be displayed on the Throne so that you know how 'strong' the base effect of the Ritual is

Spells

  • Some Paladin Only spell durations adjusted slightly higher
  • All Instant Sorcery Spells will have damage reduced by 5%

Merging of Kingdoms

  • Kingdoms will merge weekly starting after Yr 1. Eligible Kingdoms to merge will be in the lowest 1/3 of the server and will merge similarly as is performed during the end of age reset such that Kingdoms with very few provinces will have a chance to play with other active players in a normal size Kingdom. Kingdoms that will be merged will be handled on a case by case basis and contacted directly via Game Administration. Kingdoms will have the option not to merge if they so choose as we test the effectiveness of this feature. We encourage Kingdoms who would like to merge to contact DavidC in Kingdom 1:1 via Private Message or UtopiaSupport
  • Relative Kingdom Networth - Currently this is a part of the gains formula and is based entirely on the overall size of your Kingdom vs the Opponent Kingdom. This will change to be based on the average province size of your Kingdom to be a more accurate representation of the Kingdom strength
  • War Win Bonus - The minimum war win acres bonus will be reduced to 4000 acres (from 5000)
  • War Range - War Ranges will be determined by either land or networth, for example you will be IN war range if either land or Networth is within range of your target
  • Thief/Mage Operations - A slight reduction in damage will be made on the effectiveness of operations performed the farther out of range a province is (this will be affected in both directions, small vs large and large vs small)
  • Massacre - The damage of massacre will be reduced by roughly 10%
  • Conquest - Gains from Conquest attacks will be increased. The amount of offense required to break your opponent will remain the same but yield a higher gain
  • Assassinate Wizards - The damage of Assassinate Wizards will be reduced by roughly 10%
  • Aiding Explorable Acres - The amount of acres lost when aiding will be reduced from 75% to 50%

Force Cease-Fire

  • There will be an option for an aggressor Kingdom in a conflict to force both parties into a binding 7 Utopian Month cease-fire period. We are still working on the best method by which to implement the functionality on this, but the currently designed way for it to work has several components to it:
  • The aggressor Kingdom (the KD looking to Force Cease-Fire) will need to have 100 or more meter disparity on the 1st of each Utopian Month for 3 consecutive Months
  • The 'Force Cease-Fire' button for the aggressor Kingdom will be available beginning on the 12th of the 3rd Month
  • The defending Kingdom will be able to stop the forced cease-fire in several ways: a) Reduce the meter disparity between Kingdoms to under 100; or b) make at least 5 successful attacks during the Month of which the aggressor is capable of forcing the cease-fire (example: if you are the defending Kingdom and don't want the aggressor to receive the button at all, you must make 5 successful attacks between the 1st and 12th otherwise the aggressor will have the force cease-fire button until 5 attacks are successfully completed)
  • If the defending Kingdom prevents a button on the 3rd consecutive day of 100+ meter by making 5 attacks, the defending Kingdom will have the same task of prevention on the following day: either reduce the disparity to less than 100 or make 5 attacks on the 1st - 12th
  • The only way to reset the 3 day counter is to reduce the meter disparity below 100, at that point the aggressor must satisfy the first requirement which is 3 consecutive days of 100 or more meter disparity
  • There is no wait period for the aggressor to press the button, once it becomes available on the 12th it can be pressed at any time
  • More clarity on how this will work to come...please provide feedback/thoughts on this in the suggestions thread.



Miscellaneous

  • Dragons - The Dragon page will be available at all times (instead of only when you are funding or have a dragon) and will display the stats of each dragon similar to the way the Ritual Status page works now for Rituals.
  • Spells Attempted/Successful - We will add more stats to the History page that will detail the attempts/success for self spells & sorcery

Age 74

Age 74

Mechanics

  • Night Strike - Damage dealt by night strike will be reduced by approximately 20%.
  • Inspire Army/Paladin's Inspiration - Both of these spells are capable of being cast on a Province, however, while PI is cast it's effects will prevail until it wears off. Therefore, the bonuses from each of these spells will not stack, only 1 will be applied if both are present.
  • Abduct Military Casualties - Defensive military casualties on abducts has been reduced by 50%
  • Multi-Attack Protection (MAP) - The rate at which this metric increases for abducts has been adjusted to be a more adequate representation of the resources lost. Additionally, this metric has been revised slightly in other areas to be a better representation of damage that occurs in an attack.
  • Meter Throttling - Adjusted to reduce operation damage against Kingdoms that have gains throttled on you. Also there will be a reduction to throttling that occurs within declare range.
  • Ceasefires - There is a new feature with Cease-Fires that allows you to choose a date until which the Cease-Fire cannot be broken. The farthest date in the future that can be chosen is 3 Utopian Years.

Buildings

  • Watchtower rate at which protection is granted has been reduced. Maximum effect will remain the same.
  • Allow Cancel of buildings under construction (no gc refunded)
  • War Proposals - Limit of 3 proposals that can be oustanding at any given time
  • EoWCF Duration - Increased to 96 hours from 72 hours.
  • Stances - Removed
  • War Win Points - Point calculations will no longer be boosted based on rankings during YR 0.
  • IP Restrictions - We have overhauled the anti-cheat system. IP restrictions have been modified to rely more on heuristic methods than automated prevention. The effectiveness of these efforts will be carefully and extensively monitored and adjusted accordingly.
  • Dragons - All Dragon costs reduced by 25%. Additionally, you will now have the ability to name your dragon! Is yours Sophia? That's Dave's!

Scientists

  • You can now choose which category your next scientist will spawn into (random is also an option)
  • Scientist Experience will now show on your Science page and in the Spy on Sciences. This will allow for calculation of scientist networth to ultimately provide a method for determining wizard population. We feel that Wizards should have some mystery and require a bit of knowledge and pursuit to discover rather than have accurate information handed out in a single successful operation.

Rituals

  • Reduced to 80 casts
  • Mana cost will actually be 2% instead of 3% (this was left out of Age 73 code but is now in place for Age 74)
  • Support Spell History - There will be a new area in the History section of your province that records your casts and successful casts of spells on Kingdom mates
  • Self Kingdom Espionage - There will be an Espionage Page added that will show your own Kingdom's Support Spells. This page will only show Support spells that have been cast by others, it will not show spells you've cast on yourself.

Train/Build Credits

  • Can use building credits to raze acres will be a standard ability
  • There will be an option on all pages to provide use of building credits that will allow the option to NOT use your credits for your current purchase. For example: You would like to train 1000 specialists and have 500 specialist credits but you would prefer not to use your credits, there will be a checkbox that will designate the option to NOT use the credits.
  • Immediately upon exit of End of War Cease-Fire all Credits will decay by 1/3 instantly
  • Building Credits will decay at a rate of 20% per Month if Credits > Land * 15%
  • Training Credits will now decay at a rate of 20% per Month

Spells

  • Some Paladin Only spell durations tweaked slightly higher
  • Nature's Blessing - The chance to cure plague will be increased to 1/3 up from 1/5

Age 73

Age 73

Mechanics

  • Mana Costs - Flat cost - 3% self spell, 3% offensive spell (2% with relations) & 2% flat rate for all Paladin self spells on others & Ritual Spell casts will also be a flat cost of 2%
  • Stealth Costs - Flat cost - 3% stealth (2% with relations), 2% intel (1% SoT)
  • Paladin Spells - Increase all Paladin only spell durations
  • Paladin Self Spells - The formula used to calculate success rate will be adjusted to make casting self spells on your allies easier. A WPA vs WPA calculation will still be made which will require Paladins to have WPA but the new formula will make it so that all Kingdom members have an opportunity to receive the self spell bonuses from their Paladins. In other words, a significant increase in the success rate of Paladin spells, although you still need WPA it won't be as significant a part of the formula as previously.
  • Fortified Stance Removed - A new stance called "Prosperous" will replace it. Prosperous stance will be almost identical to Fortified. The main difference will be: Attacks into Prosperous will have no gains penalty; Attacks while your Kingdom is Prosperous will have reduced gains of -20% (instead of -50%) and scientists will gain experience during Prosperous.
  • Gains Throttling will be significantly more effective - Once the meter variance between Kingdoms is 50 points, each point over 50 will reduce gains by 1% up to a maximum of 75% at a variance of 125 meter points. Max meter will remain at 150
  • Auto-CeaseFire (Surrender) - Once a meter variance of 100 points occurs between 2 Kingdoms, the Kingdom with lower meter points will have the option to Surrender to the aggressor Kingdom. This will create an in-game CeaseFire between both kingdoms that cannot be cancelled by either side for a minimum of 7 days. The surrendering Kingdom will be required to not have any attacks for at least 12 hours similar to the restriction on Withdraw during War. You must also be OUT of war declaration range in order to have this button available to you.
  • War Gains Formula - The top-feed minimum gains is being reduced slightly to accommodate the LBG top-feed bonuses from Age 72 (note this is only for Top Feed gains, all other gains remain the same)
  • Rituals Length - Rituals will have a minimum length of 48 hours (120 max remains)
  • Ritual Life - Rituals will now be destroyable. There will be a new spell used specifically for Ritual destruction. The spell will be in the upper tier of difficulty and will reduce strength of the Ritual by a flat rate of 2%. A Ritual destruction spell can only be cast on a single province a maximum of 10 times such that in order to destroy a Ritual from 100% to 0% you would need to cast the spell 10x 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.
  • Elite Longevity - Elite losses via NightStrike will be closer to losses of Specialists seen now. Elites that go into retraining from Nightmare will also increase closer to that of specialists. Propaganda has also seen an increase to elite damage closer to that of Specialists. Military Casualties will be unchanged.
  • Universities - Effects from Universities will be reduced to a maximum reduction of 50%, and the rate of effect will begin at 2.5%

Aid Explorable Acres - Explorable acres will now have the option to be sent to other members of your Kingdom. 75% of the acres transferred will be destroyed. Acres will not be available for transfer during protection. Acres will have a Trade Balance cost of 500 gc each.

  • Science Caps - Science will no longer have a hard maximum for all categories. The purpose of this is to allow players more freedom to make your province unique and provide further bonuses to the areas you choose. Science will scale in a linear fashion similar to Age 72 up to the previously stated maximums as normal. Once this point is reached additional scientists will yield diminishing returns.

NEW Features

  • These don't necessarily fall under Mechanics changes but are new to the game:
  • Interactive Player Sign-Up: We are developing a method through which Kingdom Monarchs will have a better opportunity to have players join their Kingdom that fit what they are looking for, and respectively new players will have a better opportunity to join Kingdoms that fit what they are looking for in terms of experience, competitiveness, and play style
  • Log-In Statistics: Once logged into your Master Account, on the World Chooser page there will be a display of your current age log-in statistics which will include the amount of times you've logged in and the total minutes you've been active in Utopia. There may also be a "Most Log-Ins" & "Most Minutes in Game" displaying the information of the highest stats acheived at that time.
  • In-Game Mail: There will be a search function added to the in-game mail area to allow you to search keywords. Messages displayed will be increased from 10 to 25 (or 50)

Utopia-Game.com Landing Page: The landing page will show the total users currently logged into the game

  • New Log-In Bonuses: To encourage activity there will be a new log in bonus (in addition to the 5 free acres) that will be based on activity throughout the entire day. The bonus will vary based on your activity, with 3 possible bonuses available, 50% income, 100% income, 200% income of one hours income. The bonus will provided will be based on your previous day's activity and will be generated on your first log in of the day (Utopian day). Example, if you qualify for 100% income for activity throughout January Yr 0 you will receive an instant bonus of 100% your current income for that hour the first time you log in on during February Yr 0.

Age 72

  • 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 kingdom-wide explore pool and replace it with province level exploration pools.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • Wars and wins: 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.
  • Kingdom Rituals: KRs are a new mechanic that serves as a kingdom-wide bonus.
  • Kingdom Rituals: The Monarch or Steward will select one of 3 rituals the kingdom will begin (similar to the starting of a dragon)
  • Kingdom Rituals: To complete the ritual the Kingdom must cast a new 'ritual spell' 100 times within 48 hours of the ritual being started
  • Kingdom Rituals: The ritual spell will have a very expensive rune casting cost; and have a difficulty similar to the most difficult self spell
  • 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%
  • 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.
  • Spells: Inspire Army is no longer a baseline spell, it is being replaced by a Paladin-only spell called Paladin's Inspiration and has ~25% increased effects (low difficulty;moderate/high duration)

  • Spells: Wrathful Smite (Paladin Only) - Attacks against province while this spell is active will result in higher casualties for the attacker (moderate difficulty;low/moderate duration)
  • Spells: Divine Shield (Paladin Only) - Increase magic defense of target (will stack with Magic Shield;low/moderate difficulty;moderate duration)
  • Spells: Magic Ward (Unf Only) (Paladin Only) - Increase target's spell cost in runes by 25% for duration (moderate difficulty)
  • Spells: Barrier of Integrity (Unf Only) (Paladin Only) - Stops all drafting that would normally take place in target province (moderate/high difficulty;very short duration)
