Genesis Age 168 Changes

Genesis Round 168 is here!

This round is based on World of Legends Age 91 code with some additional Genesis specific changes to make Genesis unique from WoL, as well as for testing some new concepts or ideas that may or may not eventually transfer over to the World of Legends!

Please take a read through the mechanics changes so you're aware of some of the unique features.

This color indicates a new change for the current Round


Also be sure to look at the Race & Personality changes as they can be significantly different than World of Legends

Planned Schedule for the Round
Age Start: 06/07/2021 @ 13:00 GMT
Age End: 06/15/2021 @ 02:00 GMT

Tick Length will be 15 minutes.

Important things to know about Genesis for this age:
We have moved to low military values. Base values are: Specialists are 5, War Horses are 1, Prisoners/Mercenaries are 2.
You can utilize UtopiaBot for free in your Discord server on Genesis (Monarch just needs to set it up!)
Invites (6) will be available
Reservations are allowed and used at the end of this age
Mentor DOES work on Genesis
Mentoring of other provinces on Genesis will be 6 hours every 12 hours (instead of 4 hours every 24 hours like on WoL)
You are able to use Sitting credits on Genesis
To prevent abuse, there is a 3 hour waiting period to creating new provinces
Vacation mode will begin 12 ticks after activation
Vacation mode minimum duration will be 36 ticks
Other misc. hostile times / cooldown timers increased according to round speed
Enhanced Plague increases Battle Gains against a Province that has Plague by 10%
Enhanced Plague increases casualties by 10% for both attacker and defender if either attacker or defender have Plague


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)
Draft Rates increased by 50%
Provinces will abandon after 1 day of inactivity
Income per job is 5.25 gc
Elite wages reduced are 1.5 gc each
Winner and Loser of war 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%
Amethyst Dragon has been removed
Specialists removed per tick base rate is 3.5%
Specialists converted per tick base rate is 2.5%
Elites will be trained from existing specialists over time 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 965 OS and 965 DS and 50 elites (3.5% specs removed & 2.5% converted into elites), however, if you chose to convert from OS only you would end with 965 OS, 1000 DS and 25 elites.
Elite conversion base rate will be reduced from 2.5% down to 0% on a non-linear scale which starts once your military is at least 30% elites
The Vertical Axis on the chart is your % of elites that make up your military
The Horizontal Axis is the % of the base conversion rate you will receive

Elite losses on Nightstrike, Nightmare, Propaganda and Meteor Showers reduced by 30%
Max Gains cap is 25% (up from 20% on WoL)
Massacre damage to wizards has been significantly increased
Base science book production is 400 / tick
Starting scientists is 15
Scientist generation rate is 5% per tick
Elites are not trainable for any race
All Personalities Convert Specialists on Traditional Marches (NOT ALL PERSONALITIES WILL DO THIS, CHECK AGE DETAILS PAGE FOR ACTUAL ABILITIES THAT EACH PERSONALITY HAS)
If a Race has the Convert Specialists on Attacks, it means that race will convert more
Affluent Ritual will increase wizard training by 20%
Nightmare will put troops into training for 4 ticks, reduced from 8
FCF has been removed

War protections (in/out) when ramped up based on duration of war, the duration time has been reduced to 4 ticks
War attack speed reduction ramp time has been reduced to 7 ticks
Crystal Ball mana cost will always be 1% (instead of 2%)
Elite values for each race no longer has a net worth value associated with it. Elite networth is based on total offense & defense calculated similarly to specialist values, with a reduction for efficiency [note: the reduction to make elites more efficient is now smaller, therefore elites are still going to be more nw efficient for their value compared with specs, but not quite as much as before]

End of War CeaseFire maximum duration is 48 ticks
Defecting removes 15% of your resources

Explore costs for Kingdoms with less than 5 Provinces are significantly increased
Defect will not be available during war
Beginner Protection is 12 ticks (in and out of war)
Only 3 provinces can be in Vacation Mode
Assassinate Wizards has been renamed to Subdue Wizards
Subdue Wizards will reduce the strength of wizards, similar to the way Amnesia works with science. Wizard Strength will be restored to 100% upon entering EoWCF
Wizard strength is regained by 1.5% per tick over time while out of war
Subdue Wizards displays how much strength has been removed from the enemy on each operation
Infiltrate will show enemy wizard strength if it is below 100%
Expose Thieves can not reduce stealth below 25%
Expose Thieves is available to all races
KD Wall no longer affects wages
