Age 93 Final Changes

Age 93 FINAL changes are here!
We apologize for the delay! Rankings and the game will open in just a bit more time! It is always darkest before the dawn. We are excited to leak some information regarding new developers (one currently, and another in the coming weeks) that are coming on board to assist with further improvements to the Great Utopia! We anticipate great things from this and hope you are all excited as well!

With that said, welcome to the Final changes for Age 93!
Our second round with the unique Dual Race choice!
This round there is NO benefit to choosing Half-breed or Pure race, i.e. no +50% Birth Rate and No Town Watch.
You will receive the Penalty listed on the FIRST CHOICE ONLY!

I would like to further explain the War Win Score formula modification as indicated in the original Final Changes post.

The game developers have always strived to produce a game that is fair and competitive for all players. We aim to produce rankings and charts that indicate an accurate portrayal of the best Kingdoms with respect to that chart. We recently modified the War Win Score chart in hopes to provide a more accurate representation of skill in warring by granting points based on relative ranks on the various charts. After consideration, we have decided to modify this further.

The actual formula will not be released publicly. However, the new formula takes into account several factors that we expect will ultimately produce a more accurate representation of skill in the War Win leaderboard.
Some factors in the new formula include weighted values based on the existing war win scores of the Kingdoms entering into the war and relative chart ranks in the Land/Networth/Honor leaderboards.

All Kingdoms will start with a base war win score of 10. The winning Kingdom will receive a score based on the new formula while the losing Kingdom will lose a portion of the score awarded to the winner.

While this may not be the end of our attempts to conceive a formula that will truly place the best Kingdom at the top of the chart we do believe this is a step in the right direction. While the actual formula will not be released, the following simple statement rings true: The better your opponent is, the more war win points will be awarded.
