Genesis Age 174 Changes

Genesis Round 174 is here!

This round is based on World of Legends Age 92 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

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%)
